Adobe Illustrator Svg Issue

Question

I am trying to import an svg into illustrator solely to make a file conversion so that I can use the vector in after effects. Here is the preview of the svg:

Here is what it appears as when I import into illustrator

Some of those characters are cut off, I thought maybe it has something to do with too much geometry to properly display the vector. I also tried importing the expression as a png directly into after effects, however the resolution was not ideal (compared to using the vector form).

If there is a better way to do this file conversion or a fix to illustrator's problem, I would greatly appreciate a reply. I am using LaTeX to generate these by the way if that is in some way pertinent to the problem.

https://svgshare.com/i/ZiP.svg Here is the svg I used, sorry its late

I am a beginner in both these programs, I apologize if these questions have a simple fix or if I am wasting your time, I have tried many things before coming here. Thank you for reading, all answers are appreciated. :)

Answer 1

Going in the outline view (Ctrl/Command + Y) should help find & fix the issue. In this case there are some clipping masks that need to be deleted.

Answer 2

The SVG doesn't load properly in Illustrator, it's all messed up. I get a different problem from you. Everything is visible but the letters are jumbled up and overlap each other.

The SVG works fine in Inkscape though, which is generally a bit more forgiving than Illy. As far as I can tell, the problem appears to be caused by the use of multiple clones, or quite possibly as @joojaa has noticed, some malformed path data, perhaps a combination of the two. The SVG code is a bit of a mess TBH.

So, here's a fix, a bit of cleaning up in Inskcape:

Open in Inksape, do Edit > Clone > Unlink clones recursively, then do Path > Stroke to Path on the two horizontal lines to convert them to paths. I also see an awful lot of nested groups. You could Ungroup everything several times to remove most of those. Then do File > Clean up document. Finally Save as an Optimised SVG.

Anyway I tested this, seems to work OK in Illustrator after fixing in Inkscape. Here's the SVG
