Problem opening Illustrator file created in a newer version

I am trying to open an image file that was sent to me by someone who uses a newer version of the AI, I.  I'm working out of CS4.  I also work out of Windows if it matters.

When I try to open it, a window pops up telling me she was created in a newer version and data loss can occur, I would like to import?  I click OK and then get a message which reads. "The document contains PDF objects which have been reinterpreted."  I click OK again, and it seems that the file is open.

Except when it is open there is no image displayed.  He was in the lower left corner reads as follows:

It is an Adobe Illustrator that has been saved without content PDF file.  Instead or open this file in other applications, it should be re-recorded in Adobe Illustrator with the option 'Create PDF Compatible file' lit.  This option is in the dialog box Options of Format native Illustrator, which appears when you save an Adobe Illustrator file by using the Save as command.

I know that the image is there I can see it in preview on my computer.

Someone at - it ideas about what I could try to get this file to open it?

When to open a new Illustrator file accesses the part file PDF.

Explanation (please look at to understand) https://vimeo.com/117691712

The preview of the file on Windows is something different. It is not vector data, but just a glimpse.

Ask the person who sent the file to downsave to CS4 for you. Will be the best solution, because the PDF content is flattened in every possible way.

    I use illustrator CS version 11, is it possible to open the illustrator files saved and created in a newer version of Illustrator?

    If you open it with Acrobat Pro, it opens as a PDF file. Then just go to file > export > PostScript > Encapsulated PostScript.

    Please do not. This is an unnecessary step and it effectively ruin your file still more.

    Create an Illustrator file, and place the other file I inside. This way, you will be able to preserve a little more than what is in the part of the file PDF.

    Best solution is to ask the creator of the file for a version of downsaved.

  • I can't open my Indesign file because it was created in a newer version of Indesign, how to open it?

    I have a 2015CC of INDesign file and I try to open it on my computer at home, and he won't let me not because it was created in a newer version of InDesign, what should I do to get this open file?

    InDesign

    You should be able to open a file created in a newer version of InDesign in a lower version of InDesign. If you carefully read the alert, it is said that it can convert the document you created in a newer version at home to the previous version of InDesign that you use at work.

    Why don't you try doing what the alert asking you to do & see what you get? -Sign in with your Adobe ID, restart ID and try to reopen the file - it should be able to convert. It is called Simple Save return service that allows you to convert higher version documents to lower versions of ID through IDML.

    Since it is a service, you must be connected to internet for availing this service.

  • do not download itunes open said the itunes library file cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes

    The iTuneslibrary.itl file cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes

    Hello

    This error prevents the launch of iTunes. The library file has been modified to work with the new version of iTunes, so it is no longer compatible with the previous version. The good news, however, is that Apple save the iTunes library file in a subdirectory that allows you to revert to the previous version.


    Method 1:
    You can try the steps to recover a previous version of the iTunes Library.itl file.
    a. open your folder My Documents\My Music\ (Itunes).
    b. we backup the current version first. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library.itl.bak to something.
    c. go to the My Documents\My Music\Previous of iTunes libraries folder.
    d. you can see several files that start with the iTunes library and have a date included in the name. Copy the new file into the folder.
    f. return to the my documents\Ma music and paste the file in the previous step. (The folder in step 1)
    g. rename the new file copied to iTunes Library.itl.
    Your library should now be restored to the previous version of iTunes, and the problem is solved,

    Method 2:
    If the problem persists then you can also uninstall and reinstall iTunes and check if it helps:
    Remove and reinstall iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • Problem opening EPS file

    Hi I was sent an EPS file. I'm running on Adobe Illustrator CS6. When I go to open this file it says I can't open it becuse he was created in a newer version of the software I have. Does anyone know a way around this so that I can open the file?

    Sue.

    Select it and then click on "embed" in the control bar. It might be a bit of a mess of traces of clipping subsequently. Ideally, to get the sender to downsave to your version.

    your CS6 is perhaps up to date, but it is not the latest version of illustrator, and it is possible that you are trying to open files created in the CC.

    I am XP user window (home addition) and have recently experienced a problem open a document created with Microsoft Word. I saved the file, he sent, and trying to open it it does not allow me to do. I get a pop up saying - bar FILE CAN BE USED BY ANOTHER APPLICATION, or FORMAT of FILE CAN NOT NOT BE supported BY any OF THE INSTALLED CONVERTERS OR THE FILE is maybe DAMAGED. After you click ok in the pop-up a white prosser page for Microsoft word opens. I'm trying to accomplish creating a coupon for my wife to be able to post to its customers by e-mail.

    It may be in a format that Word can not handle. They are files DOC, DOCX, XLS or or something else?

    There is an update available for the words to open the DOCX files.

    Or you may need the free viewer for Word or Excel Viewer.

    What version of Premiere Elements you are using and on what computer operating system is running?

    You cannot import a project file (.prel) in another.

    For now, generalize choice

    a. export your Timeline (your intro) content to a file saved on the hard drive of the computer. And then import that

    file in new projects by using the new project add Media/files and folders. See publish + Share/computer/and the other

    choices here to generate this file intro for later use in other projects.

    b. you can set up what is called a dummy projects - this is a project with nothing other than the intro file. And, at all times

    you want to use the intro, you open one of these saved dummy projects and add your media sources.

    A lot of things to discuss. Please fill in some details more and then we can refine the answer for your particular situation.

    Thank you.
