Adobe Illustrator CS4 [TAdd] Error HELP NEEDED!

I recently restored my HP Workstation and began the process of installing Adobe CS4. Everything seemed to be going smoothly until I clicked both Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Acrobat.
Adobe Illustraitor presents the [TAdd] Error while it is loading up the font menu during it's opening.
I've been looking all over for answers and so far haven't found any. Please help!
Thanks

I'm not sure about the [TAdd] error, but if it's crashing while loading fonts, it's likely to be corrupt font caches.

If that doesn't help, then you can always try deleting your illustrator preferences, as they get corrupt from time to time as well.

  • Illustrator CS4 [TAdd] error

    This keeps popping up everytime I open Illustrator. It's preventing me from using keyboard shortcuts. Does anyone know how I can fix this? It's really annoying

    designcrave,
    It could be a normal preference corruption, so you migth try to Ctrl/Cmd+Alt/Option+Shift during startup, or to Move the folder.
    Or it could have something to do with a corrupt font since it stops during font updating. If you have installed new fonts recently, you may try to move them out of the fonts folder and see.
    There could also be other reasons.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 Installation Error

    I'm new to this site and my computer has Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1.
    After I installed Photoshop CS4 trial, it failed to install Photoshop, but the rest were successful. I went to get more information and this is the message:
    Adobe Fonts All
    Error:
    Error 1603. Error 1907.Could not register font . Verify that you have sufficient permissions to install fonts, and that the system supports this font.

    If there is a topic similar to this one, then I shouldn't be here!

    I have been using Adobe Photoshop CS4 for a few months now without any problems or errors.
    But last week.. i had a virus problem and decided to do a Clean Installation of my Operating System.
    I was not too worried because I have done this millions of times already... and know the process like the back of my hand.
    Well.. after the clean installation was complete, i started to load my applications.
    To my surprise.. Adobe Photoshop CS4 would not install. Nor would Adobe Illustrator CS4.
    It would get to the screen "Adobe is beginig the installation process" and would stall ..
    At first... i thought it would eventually complete on it's own.. but after a few attempts and hours of the same screen with no progress.. it was obvious Adobe was no longer responding at that stage.
    I searched high and low, night and day, over a few days trying to figure out the problem.
    I was trouble-shooting everything.
    In the middle of trouble-shooting, i took a break to surf the Net and see if i could find any suggestions when i ran into this Forum.
    Someone mentioned disabling your Internet Security & Windows Defender.. and i thought.. no way.. it can't be that easy.
    Well.. what do you know.. it was my Internet Security (Kaspersky Internet Security 2010)
    After disabling Kaspersky Internet Security 2010, Adobe flew right pass the part where it was stalling, and finished installation without incident.
    Adobe Illustrator CS4 also installed without any problems ...
    I just wanted to share my experience as i know how frustrating it can be when software refuses to install.
    Good Luck to everyone.. be patient.. trial & error. .. and im sure you'll figure it out.

    @ ApologetX
    I had a similar problem when i extracted the contents of my Adobe DVD and made an ISO file out of it so i would no longer need the DVD for installation.
    But what i realized is that.. Adobe will not install if it's installed from the ISO.. and during installation.. an error would pop up.. and ask for the DVD
    You probably have done something similar.
    Here's what i did to fix:
    - Extract the contents of Adobe Photoshop CS4 into a Folder
    - and install from that ..
    After i extracted the contents and installed from "setup.exe" .. the installation completed without error ..
    DVD
    - If you're having problems from the DVD .. then try to extract the Contents of the DVD on to your Desktop..
    and install from there ..
    Trial Installer
    - As for the Trial you are referring to .. im not familiar with it ..
    but try to extract the contents of it to your Desktop .. and go from there ..
    Good Luck

  • The preferences file is corrupt: adobe illustrator cs4

    greetings!
    every time i start illustrator i encounter a new error.
    "the preferences file is corrupt and has been reset to the default settings."
    "the corrupt file will be backed up as Adobe illustrator Prefs.err"
    this problem manifested after i added some more .ai and .ase files to my swatches directory. i do not believe anything else changed.
    not sure how to diagnose the problem. is there a debug mode or something? perhaps an offending file.
    an option would be to try remove each added swatch file or folder individually, but this would e a very very time consuming process for me.
    i use cs4 on a Macbook pro running Snow Leopard - 10.6.2 and would appreciate your advice.
    thank you

    The problem is that you're not getting rid of the corrupt Illustrator preferences. To do that, go to User/Library/Preferences and drag the entire Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder to the trash (or to another drive if you want to keep it for some reason). Illustrator will then create a new Preferences folder the next time it's started. It's unlikely the problem was caused by swatches files, but if the error comes back after deleting prefs, then you'll need to determine which swatch file is causing it.

  • Importing Microstation SE DGN files into Adobe Illustrator CS4

    Hello,
    New to the forum and was hoping someone could help answer what is likely a very basic question: Can Adobe Illustrator CS4 import DGN files (containing point, line, text, shape, fills, cells and other complex elements) created in Microstation SE? If so, is it an easy process, and what if any data is lost during the conversion? Is the original projection and master units/sub units maintained? I am not familiar with any version of Illustrator, so please be kind (lol). Tks for any help!

    If you intend to zoom in or pan on your graphic, you might make it say, twice the size of your FCP sequence's pixel dimensions.
    If it is static, paste it into the appropriate video template at the size you require.
    Illustrator and Photoshop are far better at scaling when compared to Final Cut Pro.
    The pixelization is probably because that section of the Timeline needs to be rendered.
    This indicated by a colored bar at the top of the Timeline. A green bar indicates that you can view that area but it will not be at full quality until rendered.
    Make sure all render options are checked on:
    Consider also: your image is rendered to the pixel dimensions of the FCP sequence and the Canvas always shows a lower res proxy image to better enable real time playback. To view the output of Final Cut Pro as it really is, you need an external calibrated monitor or at the very least, an excellent TV.

    Hello,
    I just downloaded trial version of Adobe Flash CS4 (Englisth|Windows) but after unpacking the archive and starting setup.exe I am getting error msg (see att). Are there any error logs with more information??
    Text is in czech language so here's translation:

    An error occured while installing. Ask for help at Adobe support.

    Thanks for any help!

    There is no fix. Flash Pro is not compatible with Win 8 even in CS6. There are dependencies with Flash Player components and the way it's handled in Win 8 prevents it from working liek the app expects.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS4 Low resolution

    Hey all,
    When I launch adobe illustrator cs4 it opens in a very low resolution.
    I'm running Adobe Illustrator CS4 it on my Lenovo Y510P, Windows 8 (64bit), screen resolution set to 1920x1080
    Running Photoshop CS4 on the contrary opens in full hd resolution.
    I was unable to find a working solution on the web, all solutions i found were not relevant in CS4.
    I would very much appreciate your help.
    Screenshots:
    Photoshop is sharp and HD, Illustrator is blurred and low resolution

    I see no difference in sharpness/crispness between the screenshots.
    Actually there is. It's not really loss of resolution, but rather some sort of secondary antialiasing. This would normally happen with specific color management settings or application specific graphics card profiles that are unsuitable. I'd look into that.

  • Import Template from Adobe Illustrator CS4

    Hi everyone,
    I would like to import a template (a letterhead that i made) from Adobe Illustrator CS4 into Pages, which I use for writing documents. So far I had no success in doing so. The formats supported by Illustrator are png, bmp, dwg, dxf, emf, swf, jpg, pct, psd, tif, tga, txt and wmf. Furthermore there are Illustrator formats ai, ait and eps and fxg, pdf, svg and svgz.
    I hope theres someone who can help me...
    niels

    The advantage of a vector format (such as PDF) over a bitmapped format (such as PNG) is portability. Right now, for example, you might be using your letterhead to print to an inkjet printer. Some time in the future you may choose to have a professionally printed stationary printed using the same graphic and at that point the PNG file may not produce high quality output whereas the PDF would. Also, in many cases the PDF file not only creates higher quality output but also results in smaller file sizes.

  • Illustrator CS4 [cant] error message when opening

    Hi all,
    I've just installed Illustrator CS4 twice and still get this error. i'm running it on a Dell 745 with Windows XP SP3.
    When I open Illustrator I get the following error message
    "adobe illustrator cs4 operation cannot complete because of an unknown error [cant]"
    tried to google it but can't see anyone else having the same problem.
    any ideas?
    Cheers

    Well, it hangs on Updating font menu, according to the splash screen. Ergo, the most likely reason is, that you have a "bad" font on your system. Remove it and AI should launch. And before you ask: Yes, remove all fonts that are not system fonts. You can add them back step by step later to find out which one exactly caused the problem.

  • ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CS4 MAC pierde la ruta de las imágenes enlazadas

    Hola,
    ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CS4 MAC pierde la ruta de las imágenes enlazadas, en cuanto lo gravas para originales. Si lo abres desde un cd tienes que volver a vincular, y puede crear confusión al proveedor ¿existe alguna solución? gracias

    Hola creo que no me explicado bien,
    Tu tienes una raíz de trabajo con archivo .ai y sus imágenes en una carpeta, lo gravas en un cd para el proveedor.
    Abre el cd y el .ai no encuentra las imágenes, que siguen estando en la misma carpeta que hemos gravado. Por lo tanto tienes que tener desperdigadas
    dentro de la carpeta de .ai, si no se pierde el enlace. También pierdes el enlaze se mueves la carpeta con todo el contenido. Es un error de programa los
    demás programas no dan este problema. Se tiene solucionar.
    Gracias

    Buy the Snow Leopard retail installer (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA).
    That will take you to 10.6.3.
