About User-generated content

Using UGC (user-generated content) consists of uploading assets to a dedicated Dynamic Media Classic storage repository and performing related operations.

UGC supports the following file formats:

Raster: JPG, PNG, TIFF
Vector: AI, EPS (EPS files from Adobe Illustrator 2018 are not supported), PDF (only when the PDF file is previously opened and saved in Adobe Illustrator CS6)
