Merge Illustrator cs4 file new document

Hi all

I recently got an "unknown error occurred" with a file that I worked on in Illustrator CS4.  I remember there was a way where you could open a new Illustrator document and drag the file with the error in the new document, but from here, I don't know how this blend in where we can get back layers and objects of the file with the error for the new file.  Does anyone have some instructions on how to merge the document?  Thanks in advance.

I tried with a file. What happens is that you get a linked file. Go in the links Panel and then select Image Embed. This will put the objects of the original file into the new file but IF effects any multiple appearances of the original file will be returned under the grouped objects, and are difficult or impossible to obtain as soon as they were. They printed probably OK, but what happens is that the file is re-created from the PDF of the file part that has been flattened so that the effects are more alive.

  • Illustrator CS4 files can't open photoshop CS4, Tiff files or RAW files, Photoshop file is too big for the export to PDF

    Hello

    I am running CS4 on a Mac mini to 2014 with Yosemite. I've worked on enough large photoshop documents Save as ".psb" and ".psd". My Illustrator will not open these files as well as TIFF or photoshop RAW and I am unable to export them to PDF in photoshop because they are so big. I do not have the opportunity to downgrade my OS to Mavrick and also cannot afford CC everyone found a way to solve the plugins for photoshop documents open in illustrator?

    Thank you

    Anna,

    This patch of Raul Alvarez and Benjamin Fleisher should solve the problem with the error message "error loading Plugins. PhotoshopImport.aip. "

    https://github.com/ralvarezt/aics4_yosemite_fix/releases

    See this thread, especially #6, 8 & 9 messages:

  • Why am I a '-01' after my export named differently in Illustrator CS4?  i.e.: JPEG and PNG files.

    Again, the files I'm export are assigned different names than the Illustrator CS4 file or other files in the destination folder.

    THX.

    It doesn't sound like it's automatic numbering due to several work plans. Unfortunately, there are only a few options... to rename the files of the operating system, use 1 plan of work per file.

    I just tested the behavior in CS5, CS6 and CC and it's the same thing. If you check 'Use work plans', you'll get automatic numbering.

  • 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.

  • Moving from Illustrator > Acrobat 7 > Illustrator flattens files though...

    I have Illustrator CS4 file as a .pdf file.

    I have open in Acrobat 7.1.4 Standard and add a cover sheet.

    If I reopen it the .pdf file in Illustrator file has lost its layers.

    This does not happen if I do not add a 2nd page in Acrobat.

    However Acrobat 7 always shows the layers in the layer tab and has an icon of cake saying "this document contains layers" but Illustrator does not pick up the layers.

    Is there a setting in 14.0.0 Illustrator that prevents this flattening?

    It is actually logical - by adding a page you edit or destroy the custom data section that contains native data to HAVE and cause Acrobat to rewrite the internal structure of all. Without doubt, there should be a smart way to deal with this, especioally, since many applications Adobe uses this method to store the modified data in PDF files, but it really seems to work as expected...

  • Unable to open the illustration Illustrator CS4?

    I tried to open an Illustrator CS4 file that has been saved successfully a few days ago and she appeared with this:

    http://i269.Photobucket.com/albums/JJ59/wutupjoey/Untitled.jpg

    Help, please!

    Joey,

    It seems that the file has been damaged.

    Try to create a document and by placing the file inside (after checking the paste remembers layers in the layers Panel dialog box) and know how much can be saved like that.

    Or you can start reading here and here:

    http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/500/cpsid_50031.html

    http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/500/cpsid_50032.html

    You should be able to assess the amount of damage by the size of the file before and after.

    Edit: What backup? Rereading, I realized the answer.

  • Color problem of LABORATORY so that create new Document?

    Color problem of LABORATORY so that create new Document?

    its is possible to open a new Document with the CMYK color Mode

    Screen Shot 2016-06-15 at 12.13.46 PM.png

    You can create a new document with tasks defined in CMYK profile and save it here:

    /Users/ [username] / Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator 19 / fr_FR / New Document profiles

    Why would you do that, though? The laboratory is the best way to represent a blot of ink, if you print with the tones, and if you're not, it is best to not use them.

  • default new document?

    How can indesign (CS6) to ask the end user to choose from a group of default documents on new?

    InDesign does not size 'sets '.

    I created a series of default documents or the master documents which have sizes registered as master spreads.

    for example: document master "PR" has all the formats associated with ROP registered in the master spread.

    If the end-user tried to create a new document POR it would open the corresponding master doc and select the format of the master spread

    My focus is on file > new > document CS6 could prompt the user to select/open one of master documents and open the file

    If no / cancel it would return to the end user to the new document set up the screen.

    is it feasible?

    I have the following text that prompts the user to select a master document / by default, but I did not understand how to integrate it into indesign. I thought that the event listeners would work but not luck (well it works just creates a new document as well as opens a document master/FAULT lol)

    Tell application "Finder".

    the value theMastersFolder of the files of the folder ("Macintosh HD:Users:rickg1:Desktop:testMasters")

    tell the end

    game theMastersList to {}

    repeat with thisInDDmaster in theMastersFolder

    the value theMastersList to the theMastersList & (name of thisInDDmaster ()

    end repeat

    the value chosenDoc to choose from the list theMastersList with prompt "choose a master doc:

    Hello

    I don't dare using Applescript here so here's a proposal of Javascript:

    #targetengine "onNew"
    var showDialog = false;
    var ma = app.menuActions.itemByID(257);
    
    var dlg = function(fo,files) {

        var n = files.length;
        while (n--){
            filesInList[filesInList.length]=decodeURI(files[n].name);
        }
    
        var w = new Window("dialog", "Test");
        w.preferredSize.width = 200;
        w.alignChildren = ["fill","fill"];
    
        var st = w.add('statictext',undefined,fo.toString() );
        var ls = w.add('listbox', undefined, filesInList,{multiselect:true});
        ls.preferredSize.height = 200;
    
        var ob = w.add('button', undefined, "Open Selected" );
        ob.enabled = false;
    
        ls.onChange = function(){
            ob.enabled = ls.selection!=null;
        }
    
        ob.onClick = function() {
            w.close(1);
        }
        var ab = w.add('button', undefined, "Just a new doc please" );

                while(n--) app.open(files[ls.selection[n].index]);
            }
            else {

            ma.invoke();
        }
        else {
            showDialog=false;
        }
    
    }
    
    var onBeforeNew = function(event) {
        var filter = function(f){return /\.(ind[dt]|idml)$/i.test(f.name);};
        var fo = Folder ( Folder.desktop+"/Templates" ),
        files;
    
        if (showDialog) {
            showDialog=false;
            return;
        }
    
        if ( !fo.exists) return;
    
        files = fo.getFiles(filter).reverse();
    
        if ( !files.length ) return;
    
        event.preventDefault();
        event.stopPropagation();
    
        dlg(fo, files);
    }
    
    var main = function(b){
        var ev= ma.eventListeners.item ( "onBeforeInvoke" );
        b && !ev.isValid && ma.eventListeners.add( "beforeInvoke", onBeforeNew ).name = "onBeforeInvoke";
        !b && ev.isValid && ev.remove();
    }
    
    main(true);
    

    That should behave like this:

    (1) new call to doc:

    (2) If you click on "just a new doc please", retrieve the original dialog box

    (3) If no record found or iwthin files this folder, the original dialog box appears.

    Pablo,

    The following is a general list of things you can try when the question is not in a specific file (you tried/made some of them already). 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically preferences might be corrupt); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer (you can do that up to 3 times);

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

    4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);

    5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

    Even worse, you can:

    (6) uninstall, run the vacuum cleaner tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and then reinstall.
