Illustrator CS4 "Save as PDF" Glitch
I use illustrator adobe CS4 on mac OS X 10.6.5 snow lepord
Whenever I have a file I or any type of file and want to use the option "save under", when I select illustrator PDF completely freezes. I have to force quit and then restart to resume work.
My work around was to save as a file, open the file in adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and "save under" PDF through this program. It works every time. But the option "save under" PDF in illustrator crashes whenever I use it.
Does anyone else have this problem?
What model Mac? How much RAM? How much free space on your drive to work?
You can also try this
1. quit Illustrator.
2. go to user/username/Library/Preferences/Adobe illustrator CS4 Settings and parameters, the entire record of the trash not only the contents of the folder...
3. launch Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.

Hello
When I save a file released Illustrator CS4 as an AI, EPS or PDF it takes about 30 seconds for the Illustrator save dialog options for pop - up. No matter how small or large the file is.

Thank you

Illustrator CS4 save vector art for Microsoft Word
I have a logo created in Illustrator CS4. I saved the file for use in Microsoft Office using the 'save for Office", export as a .wmf and even save vector art in Photoshop as a .png. I can get a variety of formats to work well into Word documents.
That is the problem. Finally, the Word document will be saved in PDF format. When the file is saved as a PDF (from Word), the color changes in the PDF file. How can I fix this? I tried to record the changes in the modes of rgb and cmyk colors, but the color when it hits Acrobat prints differently than the Word. It drives me crazy and I can't understand it.
Thanks for any help!

I do this often enough and export to Illustrator in .wmf format. I get the necessary transparent background, no problem of pixel, and the graphics are crisp. Clip art from Microsoft Office is about all .wmf formatted, so I thought that it would be compatibility problems and there is no. This is perhaps an approach that will work easily for you.

Hi all. My copy of Illustrator CS4 for Mac has recently begun to save both copies of each EPS file I save - for example. If I create an illustration, then choose "Save as" and save my file, I get "name.eps" and "name - 01.eps. Any help would be appreciated.

Google Chrome Print - Save as PDF Glitch
Hello
Since all July 2015, I noticed all the PDF I printed on Google Chrome the button print and selecting Save as PDF are unfathomable on my PC.
PDF documents I look just fine, but if you place the cursor on a line of text, then click on copy and past the text Google search or in a word doc then all I get is square box symbols and text.
I tried this on all 3 of my PC, Adobe running a Pro X and others running the standard version and the same failure is on the whole using Google Chrome.
Can the community do me a favor and see if I'm doing something wrong or if Google is curropting these files.
Try with this Article http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/boxing/34956022
Print, save to PDF and once registered, copy a section of text and then paste you see if its readable.
In Firefox, print, save as PDF function works very well and you can copy and paste the text from the PDF file.
Thanks for your help

You should ask your question in a forum on Google Chrome. These forums are on Adobe software.

I want to open an Illustrator file in Illustrator CS4, but I get this message 'it's an adobe illustrator file that has been saved without content PDF... "I tried to save it as option with" create a PDF compatible file "option but still the same message is showing. Help, please.
Thanks in advance.
Tebu,
You try to open a document to a newer version?
If so, you should get a downsaved version instead. Even if it was saved with PDF compatibility you'd lose probably important editability.

My blends in Illustrator CS4 will not save or print correctly. Why?
Why are my blends in Illustrator CS4 not save or print correctly?
TECHNICAL DATA:
Adobe CS4
MAC 10.5.8
I had a mix of text describes with a drop shadow. And another text with a drop shadow on top. Not too complex at all.
Here are a few screenshots of the problem.
(1) screenshot of adobe Illustrator
(1) screen shot of my saved TIff file. I recorded as a PDF as well and still no luck.
Any suggestions?
Provide screenshots of the aspect and layer panel and / or information on grouping. Stuff endangered means that the appearance is somehow twisted and that it is not made in the right order when exporting...

Illustrator CS4 - when I save it for the web my vectors are pixelated. Help!
I've recently updated to CS4 (I know, I'm always late), but since when I "save for web" my vectors appear pixelated. It seems worse when I want a transparent background. My pictures are for the web and it won't.
I have read a lot about this and can't seem to fix my problem, but here is what I tried: anti-aliasing is checked, view > preview raster, view > preview overprinting, the object > pixelation and probably a few other things. If anyone can help me with this problem it would be GREATLY appreciated! I have attached a picture so you can see what I mean. I created this schematic in Illustrator CS4 and saved for the web with a transparent background and, as you can see, it seems pixelated everywhere.
jskopinsky,
It shouldn't look like this as a GIF, but what happens if you save it as PNG24?

Embed fonts by Save to PDF in Illustrator
I have a problem with embedding fonts using Illustrator using the PDF file "save under". I know that this can be done by describing fonts before you save your PDF file. Even when the fonts embed is check in the presets it always shows the fonts being active in the Acrobat before the flight. You can also see them active in the document properties window in acrobat Pro. I played with it for hours and I want to see evidence that there is no active fonts when publishing PDFs to clients.
Thank you!
It is confusing to me because the fonts are embedded in a PDF file when they are available, as seen on another system and no font substitution takes place. Your screenshot shows that the fonts are included. Problems occur when the fonts are not embedded. In any case, Acrobat is not a function that converts fonts to outlines, which results in a different set of problems.

Illustrator javascript save them to PDF - issue defining the values listed as a variable
Hello
I'm trying to figure out how I can use a variable as the target for a save as PDF option in Illustrator javascript. the work of fine variables where there is no value listed for the property that is opts.generateThumbnails but I can understand how to run opts.compatibility or other properties with the values using a variable as the definition listed.
Example code snippet below will always give an error "The enumerated value should" during the opts.colorCompression option even if the string is correct.
If I define chose him as opts.colCompression = compressionQuality.AUTOMATICJPEGHIGH then everythings works
Does anyone know how I can set the compressionQuality.AUTOMATICJPEGHIGH as a variable will work
TKS
Code snippet
OPTS = new PDFSaveOptions();
OPTS.Compatibility = PDFCompatibility.ACROBAT5;
opts.generateThumbnails = thumbnailValue;
opts.preserveEditability = editingValue
OPTS. Optimization = optimizationValue;
opts.colorCompression = colCompressionDefault;
default value is defined at the beginning of the script like: -.
var colCompressionDefault = "compressionQuality.AUTOMATICJPEGMAXIMUM";
Alert ("Options of Compression of color =" + opts.colorCompression);
for (x = 0; x < doc.artboards.length; x ++)
{
doc.artboards.setActiveArtboardIndex (x);
var artboardName = doc.artboards [x] .name;
If ((artboardName.match (/ ^ imprimé / i)))
{
opts.artboardRange = x + 1;
expFile = file (destFolder + "/" + "stringname" + "-" + doc.artboards [x] .name + ".pdf");
doc.saveAs (expFile, opts); It is the privilege which fails
}
}
Close the open document
sourceDoc.close (SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
If you have information on how I should set...
I do it, I showed you how, in my previous post, Javascript is case-sensitive,
It does not exist
compressionQuality.AUTOMATICJPEGMAXIMUM
This is done
CompressionQuality.AUTOMATICJPEG2000MAXIMUM

How to save a pdf page 2 (created in Illustrator) to be used in a web site?
How to save a pdf page 2 (created in Illustrator) to be used in a web site?
When I save my Illustrator file in pdf format, it is about 2600 k, my website admin will allow only storage of 5000 kb. I tried to 'save for web', but that only saves the first page of my document. Any suggestions other than payment for more storage?
What predefined pdf do you use? Try to file more small size rather than default illustrator.
Save for web doesn't PDF, so not a multipage control.

Illustrator CS4 PSD files import problem
I suddenly have trouble cleaning importing Illustrator CS4 files in Photoshop CS4. I use these products for years and have done this hundreds of times without difficulty. But all of a sudden, the resulting files are not smoothed.
Illustrator files are saved with the PDF compatibility option checked. I tried to place them (and by engaging - I know they're looking bad but clean after validation) and I tried to paste from Illustrator. Not here are the relatively simple files with no font - text only - and no transparency or effects. I also tried to save as EPS files, but without success. I took to export PNG since Illustrator files and import that.
I'm short on a recent Mac tower with a lot of everything. OS x 10.6.7 and everything is up-to-date. Adobe Creative Suite CS4.
Could something has been corrupted? Something might be interfering? Is there a setting preference-"Import Illustrator files nicely" which must be marketed?
Thanks for all the ideas.
When you place an EPS, PDF file or HAVE - there is an option in the options toolbar that says "smoothing". Make sure it's on.
If you open a file in EPS, PDF or AI - there is a checkbox in the first dialog box that asks you the page number, resolution, etc. that says 'Anti-Aliasing (in the Page Options group). Make sure it's on.

HAVE CS4 - multiple pages, PDF format
I just upgraded to CS4 and can understand is no longer how to create a pdf from multiple page from Illustrator. The option has been deleted or moved from the pdf save menu.
Currently, I'm saving up to CS3and opening again in CS4 to create existing work plans which then translate into multi pages in acrobat. I'm sure that there is a way easier and more efficient. Does anyone know?
Thank you!
Each work in the CS4 plan is equivalent to a PDF page. Simply save to PDF and make sure the option 'Use work plans' is checked.
