Illustrator CS3 - Print - output - allow me to select color separations
Hello
I'm printing for the first time. The process of preparing should be really simple right? Separate the layers of color, using Illustrator, then print each layer on transparent sheets. Well, I'm about to lose my mind.
The image is CMYK, it is a unique spot color (I think) which is red and the contours are black. The printer is a Canon ix6500.
I can't separate the colors in Illustrator CS3? Why? When you select Print > output > Mode > it won't allow me to select the halftone colors.
I tried to solve this problem by selecting the printer > Adobe Postscript and PPD > Canon ix6500 series. It allows me to select the colors dithered, but then it will not print, it only saves it in PDF format and print such what.
Help, please! Any advice would be appreciated! I'm going out of my mind here!
Hey everybody!
I found the solution! So here are the steps, I hope people out there could benefit from this :-)
This is what worked for me using a Mac and a non-postscript (Canon iX6540), Illustrator CS6 printer, PostScript known as Scribus downloaded software. My drawing was created in Illustrator and all colors have been Pantone solid coated spot colors.
These are the specifications that must be selected in the print dialog box:
General
- Predefined print: custom
- Printer: Adobe PostScript file
- PPD: Lisanet PDFwriter
Output
- Mode: Separations (host-based)
- Ink Options panel can present spot colors that appear in your design.
Then you save it :-) This will save as a PostScript file. To open it, you will need a software PostScript. One who seems to have done the trick is to Scribus.
Thanks for any help at all! Entry everyone ends by helped me to find the solution!

Need serious help! Cannot print anything in illustrator cs3
I recently installed snow leopard and installed a cleansing of all applications including cs3. Since the new facility, illustrator goes to "not responding" when I select file > print or press cmd - P. I can print from photoshop very well, it seems to be just illustrator. I have not tried all the other cs3 apps, because I don't use dreamweaver and bridge, but never print form them anyway.
For printer drivers, I used those who came on the 10.6 installation disc, because the website of canon says that their drivers were for up to 10.5. Not sure that the disc is not just the same driver that they list, but I can print all applications on the computer except for illustrator that I REALLY need.
I sent a ticket to adobe, but he said it would take 3 or 4 days to respond and I'm in the middle of a job to print today or tomorrow, not next week!
If someone has had this problem and can I do? In the meantime, is there another way I can print a file in illustrator to actual size? I need to print actual size and Illustrator is the only way that I've never done.
Thanks for the help.
Yes, he regenerates a fresh new.

Illustrator CS3 incorrect impression
Hello
First of all, I should probably clarify that I am not a professional graphic artist/printer. I am a graduate student of architecture that has an Epson R1800. Photoshop CS3 printing seems to work very well and I'm getting a reasonable representation of colors (after configuring proof, turn off the OS X color controls, etc.). If I try to Illustrator (and InDesign) I get very poor quality prints. In Illustrator, so that I have my proof set up my Epson paper I use and my printer settings are as follows:
Color management: Illustrator determine colors
Printer profile: SPR1800 Standard (right now I just need a few black line drawings on plain paper)
Render mode: colorimetric Relative
Now, if I change my print settings in Illustrator, I don't see any change in printing. If I try to make changes by the "printer" window (after selecting the file > print > printer), I get a warning dialog and still nothing seems to change. If I export an EPS or PDF and printing out of Photoshop, I get great prints. I would like to cut the middlemen (PS) and print directly from Illustrator as opposed to the export of many drawings and printing from Photoshop.
Any help is appreciated!
It is a known problem in Illustrator CS3 and Indesign Cs3, see the discussion in the son:

I found some ways to get the path of the file, but I am defeated by pulling the list from that. the function of the path get gives me the path as "Macintosh Users:: Documents: extractedb.txt (myUsername).
What I can't understand is how to get a dialog box to display a list that represents the content in the text file, I need to change the contents of the text file, I need the box to show me what I chose and I want to save my selection as a single string.
e '.example of extractedb.txt information:
* has a random number of emails as well *.
I want this is to pull those emails from the text file and turn them into a list so I can get to be a selection in my dialog box.
Any help would be great = D
Assuming you have a text file with your example e-mail addresses, the following AppleScript will read this file in a list (mf_List) and then use this list as input to choose among the list. Because multiple selection is allowed (control button), the output is sent to a list (sel_addr). We check if the Cancel button was pressed by testing for false and if this condition is met, we the script error. Based on a single or multiple list item content of the list, display accordingly.
game of mf to ((path to the folder as text) & "mail_list.txt")
the value mf_List to {}
the value sel_addr to {}
the value mf_List to paragraphs of (read file mf)
the value sel_addr to (choose from the list mf_List with title ¬
('Mail list' with multiple selections allowed without empty selection allowed)
If sel_addr is equal to false then
Error number-128
return
end if
If length of sel_addr is equal to 1 then
sel_addr display dialog box as text
on the other
the value Point to the text of TID to AppleScript delimiters
the value Point text in AppleScript return delimiters
display the dialog box elements of sel_addr in the text
the value Text of point AppleScript delimiters to TID

Illustrator CS3 crashes when changing places during save or place. Mac, Yosemite
After the update to Yosemite and fixing the original problem of not being able to open Illustrator (older Java installation). Now Illustrator crashes whenever I try to select a location to save the file. If I save without changing the location of the file is not a problem. Also, it crashes when I want to PLACE a file and I try to navigate to the location.
MacBook Pro (2012), OSX 10.10.2 (Yosemite).
Adobe Illustrator CS3 (Yes, I know).
Change fonts doesn't seem to be a problem. Large files are OK. It is only when you navigate to a location using a drop-down menu in the SAVE AS or PLACE dialog box.
Any ideas of what might be wrong?
New information: I changed the format of the adobe dialog box and it solved my problem. I'm leaving HERE in the case that everyone is facing it. However, I wouldn't mind know why it will not work the OS dialog box.

Ligatures of abandonment when ID CS3 printing on a printer of the PS3
Just got a new Dell 5110cn and this problem is driving me crazy.
InDesign CS3, Vista 64-bit. Use the PS3 for the 5110cn driver, not the driver PCL.
I disabled the device font substitution in the pilot. I entered in the table of substitution of fonts and put all "do not substitute".
When I print directly from ID CS3, ligatures "fi" in words like "certificate" or "check" abandon.
The policy in question is 'Times '.
If I export the document to PDF, ligatures discovered very well and print very well from the PDF file.
Illustrator EPS files created with the word "certificate" which are then deposited in ID CS3 print correctly when direct printing.
I can print from MS Word documents that contain the word 'certificate' both directly to the printer and those print very well (but as far as I know, Word is not using the same method of ligation).
While this is a new printer, the behavior apears to be isolated to InDesign (print directly from Adobe Illustrator is very good as well).
What gives?
Have you checked the box download PPD fonts in the print dialog box?

Problem with the conditional tags in printed output
I write help files for different versions of our software - version 4 and 5 using Robohelp for HTML 5.0.2
There is a large overlap of information between the two, so I use a help file joint with marked topics that are specific to version 4 or version 5.
I went out and then use with 'NOT v4' or "NOT v5" as the conditional tags.
It works fine in the HTML output. However, I encountered problems with the printed output.
Ideally, I want the help file using the option "generate the single document" because it means that the document produced, without the single output field. However, when I do, the tags conditional build fail and I get a piecemeal result.
If I generate the document by using the option 'generate individual documents' tags conditional build work, but I get the only field I want to avoid.
Does anyone know how to get the conditional tags to work when the option "generate the single document" is selected?Pierre and HKabaker - thanks for your comments.
I think I have the answer now.
In the properties for the SSL Print dialog, the third screen is the dialogue of section layout. I had removed some sections in the right pane (for example, the default title page, glossary, and index) because I did not want them to appear in the final printed output. It seems that without these sections present conditional compilation tags do not work correctly when the document is released by using the option 'generate a single document ".
I started again with a "blank" printing of SSL version. Conditional constructions using the "generate a single document" appear to work fine when I leave the dialog layout intact section.
I can even do the conditional tags build an injustice because the option "generate a single document" (after that I made the changes in the dialog layout section) seems to be that some of the chapters in the table of contents and omitting others.

The procedure allows for the header and the data to separate files if necessary. Just by specifying the file name "header" will put the header and the data in a single file.
