7'x18' Mural Design, Illustrator CS4 will not produce as small printiable PDF to show client

I am designing a 7' x 18' Photo/Graphic mural for a client.  The output provider said to work in full size.  However, I need a pdf, or any kind of file that will print the image on 8.5x11 paper for client review.  I've tried opening the file in InDesign and Photoshop and re-saving but it always wants to be 7x18 feet no matter what format I take it to.  ANy suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Larry, Thank you so very much.  I was caught up in a "Save as" paradigm.  I did a print to PDF and it worked perfectly.  Sometimes we need someone to rattle the chains in our brains a bit.  Thanks.

    That is evil, is it not? Sorry, but you need to be more specific - operating system, system specs, what you have tried so far, error messages that may come up.

  • Illustrator CS4 will not open in XP Professional

    Hello,
    Although I am running Windows XP Professional AI CS4 will not open on my computer.
    Photoshop and InDesign work perfectly but Illustrator seems unable to recognize the XP operating system and gives an error message accordingly.
    Please see the attachment.
    If anyone has any ideas about how to cure this please tell me.
    Thanks for your consideration,

    If I recall correctly, the issue is introduced by an incorrect install/ update of .NET runtimes (one of the newer versions, 3.5 I think). I've seen the message myself on one of my systems, but I'm not really sure how I fixed it. Reason however dictates, that manually initiating a Windows Update or downloading .NET installers from Microsoft's pages, would be one thing to try. If the solution floats to the top from the murky depths of my brain, I'll report back.

  • Illustrator CS4 will not launch under Snow Leopard

    Hi there,
    I've just done a clean install of Snow Leopard on my Mac. Here's what I did.
    1) Installed Snow Leopard 10.6
    2) Installed all OS X updates (including 10.6.1)
    3) Installed Quark Xpress 8.12
    4) Installed Adobe CS4 Design Standard
    5) Installed all Adobe updates (no updates related to Illustrator)
    6) Installed Extensis Suitcase Fusion 2 (v13.2.1)
    Photoshop launches fine.
    When I launch Illustrator it crashes just after the splash screen appears.
    Any ideas please?
    Can't find anything on web really - if can't get an answer soon then I'll have to go back to Leopard .
    Thanks,
    Mike.

    I would suspect Suitcase and perhaps a corrupt font might be causing this issue and the data base is now corrupt.
    However before really pointing the finger at any software try this remove all unessential fonts then
    do this
    first quite Illustrator and then;
    I would go to Users/username/Library/preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder and trash that settings folder.
    then see if Illustrator is running fine. If not try a new user account if it is running fine under a new user then I would think it is font data base.

  • Illustrator CS4 will not install

    Win 7 64 bit, Photoshop CS4 installed.  Try to install Illustrator CS4 and runs into a problem updating Photoshop and stops the install.

    Not exacly sure what is said. Just that is was not able to update Photosope and needed to stop the install.
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    I have tried to update Photoshop CS4 and have had difficulty as it would never complete, just get 80% done and stop.  Caused by:
    Error: The specified module could not be found. C:\Program files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.0\VersionCue.DLL
    Workaround:
    Actually, I copied all of the files, not including the Dictionaries directory,
    VersionCue.dll
    VersionCueSDK.dll
    VersionCueUI.dll
    ExtendScript.dll
    that were not in the 4.0.1 directory.
    Now, I ended up with these 5 files,
    VersionCue.dll
    VersionCueSDK.dll
    VersionCueUI.dll
    ExtendScript.dll
    ScCore.dll
    and 1 directory, Dictionaries.

  • I've upgraded my Mac OS to Yosemite and now Illustrator CS4 will not open.

    I'm guessing I am too far behind to upgrade to the latest version of Illustrator and I also am not really clear on using Illustrator in the cloud but I need to work on my existing CS4 files so not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated!

    j,
    You may prevent/deal with the error message as long as Illy is open in the following way:
    1) Start up Photoshop first, then Illy;
    2) When the error occurs, click Don't show again, and click OK;
    You may close down Photoshop after that.
    If you get the error message without having Photoshop open, close down Illy and start with 1).
    By the way, I believe the right order/way is to update the OS, then reinstall the applications. Was that how you did it?
    Also you may need to update drivers (Wacom and others).
    If you run into the Java issue, you should be able to get round the issue altogether without the legacy version (and its security implications), by following this:

  • Photoshop CS4 will not refresh or update view

    Hello,
    My Photoshop CS4 will not update / refresh the viewport after any change to the layers or settings. The view will only refresh if the view is changed, such as the hand or zoom tool. This makes Photoshop nearly usesless. Did some looking around the net and have seen a few responses to situations similar to this but none of them are regarding a Mac. This is my work computer so you can understand my frustration.

  • Someone PLEASE help! Java SE 6 runtime -- I downloaded Java and Illustrator still will not launch!!!!

    I purchased this CS6 product and have been unable to use it. What's the problem with the error? I know I'm not the only one who has experienced this. I just got off the phone with Apple and they helped me install Java but Illustrator still will not launch. I'm a designer and have work to do. Someone, please help! Thank you.

    Hi,
    If you are on MAC 10.7 or 10.8. Try the following steps:
    Step 1.  Download Apple Java 2013-002 for OS X 10.7 and 10.8 from location:     http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/39490/apple-java
    Step 2.  Install this JAVA version using the DMG file.
                                    >>> Once the installation gets completed a “Software Update” dialog gets displayed which says that “To open ‘Adobe Illustrator CS6’ you need a JAVA SE 6 runtime…..”
    Step 3.  Click on the “Install” button on the “Software Update” dialog
    Step 4.  Launch AI
    Let me know the end results.
    With Best Regards,

  • Adobe Illustrator CS6 will not open.

    I have a problem: the illustrator app will not open. I get the pop-up: To open "Adobe Illustrator CS6" you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime. Click "More Info..." to visit the legacy Java SE 6 download website.
    Both clicking "More Info..." and "OK" only make the pop-up disappear, but lead absolutely nowhere.
    From Oracle.com I have already downloaded and installed 'jre-8u25-macosx-x64.dmg'. After install and restart i keep getting the same pop-up as before and i still can't open Ai. Any advice?

    hi,
    I updated from mavericks to Yosemite today which was a very bad idea. I had issues with my internal sound adapter and the system start is now very slow. I might going back to mavericks..
    However, I wish the above link you gave here would work. After clicking the blue download button nothing happens. Any other idea how I could go back from my actual java 8-31 back to java 6?

  • Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite.

    Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite. All the other CS4 apps open. I upgraded Java. Genius Bar could not get it to launch.

    Here's the fix I found, by way of an explanation...
    Snow Leopard prompted me on my first startup with the following error:
    "There is a conflict with the _______ font file. This font file contains a font name that conflicts with a system font required by Mac OS X to display onscreen text. You should move this font file to the Trash."
    The fonts it said were conflicting: Helvetica, HelveticaNeue.dfont, Lucida Grande, and Monaco. I figured Snow Leopard probably wanted to replace these fonts with newer versions, and so I clicked "Move to Trash" on all four.
    Apparently 10.6 trashed these fonts but didn't replace them. This was causing Photoshop to crash on load.
    So I restored my ~/Library/Fonts folder from a backup made just before upgrading and this time after a reboot I said "Allow Conflict" on all four dialog boxes and launched Photoshop... everything is back to normal!
    Not sure what kind of "conflict" it's referring to, but apparently moving these font files to the trash as OS X prompted me to do broke a number of apps. Should I report this as a bug?
    Thanks for the ideas!
