About formats

AI (Adobe Illustrator Artwork) is the native file format of Adobe Illustrator, the industry-standard vector graphics editor first released in January 1987 for the Apple Macintosh. Early versions of the format were based on the PostScript page description language, with each file being a conforming EPS document that could be placed in other layouts and interpreted by PostScript printers. Starting with Illustrator 9 in 2000, Adobe transitioned the AI format to a PDF-based structure, embedding Illustrator-specific editing data within a valid PDF wrapper — this dual nature means modern AI files can be opened in any PDF viewer for display, while preserving the full editable artwork including layers, artboards, and live effects when reopened in Illustrator. The format supports complex vector constructs like gradient meshes, clipping masks, symbol libraries, transparency blending modes, and multiple artboards within a single document. One significant advantage is lossless scalability — artwork maintains perfect precision at any size, from favicon to billboard, because geometry is defined mathematically rather than as pixels. Deep integration with the Adobe Creative Cloud ecosystem is another strength, enabling seamless round-tripping between Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and After Effects without format conversion. AI remains the de facto standard for professional illustration, logo design, and print production workflows worldwide.

RB is the native ebook format of the Rocket eBook, one of the first commercially available dedicated e-reading devices, developed by NuvoMedia and released in October 1998. Founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning — who later co-founded Tesla Motors — NuvoMedia designed the Rocket eBook as a handheld device with a reflective LCD screen, capable of storing approximately ten books in its internal memory. The RB format packages HTML-based content along with embedded images, metadata, and a table of contents into a single binary container optimized for the device's limited hardware. Content was purchased and downloaded through NuvoMedia's RocketLibrarian desktop software. A notable advantage of the format was its early support for bookmarking, annotation, dictionary lookups, and adjustable font sizing — features now standard on modern e-readers but revolutionary in the late 1990s. The Rocket eBook demonstrated viable commercial demand for dedicated reading devices, paving the way for subsequent platforms from Sony, Amazon, and others. NuvoMedia was acquired by Gemstar-TV Guide International in 2000, which discontinued the device line in 2003. While RB files are largely a historical curiosity today, they can be converted to modern formats using ebook management tools, and the format remains significant as a pioneering chapter in the evolution of digital reading.
