Acrobat 7 - Illustrator CS2 - Touchup-Object - Save-Failure

Hello!
We use Acrobat 7 in combination with Illustrator CS2. All applications got the latest updates installed.
Now, an pdf-document is openend in acrobat. In this document are letters as objects. We now open one of this letters with the touchup-object-tool in Illustrator CS2. After the changes are made, we save this changes but in the pdf-document, nothing changed, it is still the old version.
We tried it with a trial of Acrobat 8 and in this all went fine. Could it be a problem of Acrobat 7 and Illustrator CS2.
Regards
Chris

The same thing will happen, on occasion, in Acrobat 8 (and probably 9). It is a question of refresh time and the Temp file finding the original to correct. It seems less prone when using Photoshop to edit an image in a PDF, although I have noticed some "lag time" between the temp file and the original.
One trick is to save the Illustrator/PDF temp file under a similar name (you cannot overwrite the original PDF when it is still open). Then just substitute the old file for the new file. Make a copy of your work before trying this method, just to be sure.

  • Illustrator CS2 Can't Save EPS Files

    I'm running Illustrator CS2 on a PC with Windows XP, and while I can save Illustrator files in AI and PDF formats with no problems, and export files also without problem, when I try to save an EPS file it brings up an alert box that says "Can't save the illustration". For obvious reasons this message is not helpful in determining the problem or going about a solution. I would greatly appreciate any help as this is a problem at my workplace and I have some time sensitive projects I need to finish. Thanks in advance.

    Most likely some color separation or transparency flattening thing. Could also be the order of your groups/ shapes. Just hard to tell. For testing, I would save a PDF and do a preflight check in Acrobat or other such tool. This usually reveals any problematic stuff...

  • Adobe illustrator CS2.. Save As..

    Dear Mac illustrator user.
    I tried to SAVE AS in illustrator file (ex: 0000.ai),
    then this small box appears..
    (Acrobat PDF file format is having difficulties. Bad font object or font descriptor object.)
    Then it automatically saves as PDF file, not .ai file.
    What shall I do???

    I am not sure if you can a lot of response here about Illustrator, try posting in the Adobe Community.
    I am a very light AI user, more of a Photoshop user. The only advice I can offer right now is try re-installing AI and see how...?
    Cheers

  • Acrobat 9.5 - use Touchup text Tool to edit PDF. Updates do not display. But, if I "save as" Word doc, the edits appear in Word. This feature worked in earlier versions of 9.x patches.

    I have a suspicion you're working with a scanned document that has had OCR run to recognize the text. The recognized text may be stored on an invisible layer above the image of the text, and that is what you're toucing up. It's invisible, so you don't see it, but retains the changes, so exporting produces the new edits.
    When you run OCR to recognize scanned text,, try using the ClearScan option, instead of Searchable Text. See this help page on Acrobat (this is for version X, but still applies):

  • Strange files appearing when I save in illustrator CS2

    Hi all,
    I recently upgraded my OS to leopard and since i did this i have been having this strange problem?When I save a file in illustrator (CS2) it is also creating some kind second archive file (Acr1860018314.tmp for example) does anyone know what is causing this it is really annoying.

    When running Apples latest operating system with an older version of Adobe applications you are likely to encounter issues that there will be no fix for. Illustrator CS2 was released over a year before Apple's OS10.5 hit the streets. Adobe engineers can not predict what will or will not work in a new OS when writing an application.
    Unfortunately, the solution may be to upgrade to the latest version of Illustrator to solve your problem. I'm NOT stating that is the only solution, merely that it may be needed.

  • Touchup Object tool not available to colleague with Acrobat 9

    Is the TouchUp Object tool only available in Acrobat 9 Pro? A colleague who has Acrobat 9 Standard doesn't appear to have it in his Advanced Editing options. Is there something that can be done to make that option available? I looked at the comparison chart and it didn't indicate there was any difference.
    Thanks in advance.

    It is not available in Acrobat Standard:

  • Illustrator CS2 "Save for Web" not functioning properly.

    Illustrator CS2, OS X 10.4.11.
    I am creating graphics for the Web with Illustrator CS2. When I go to Save for Web, the Save for Web window opens properly but the original graphics and type (even though the type is converted to outlines), become pixelated therefore my Web images are pixelated.
    Attached is an example of a jpeg saved at maximum 100 quality.
    I am not umderstanding why my originals become pixelated when doing Save for Web. It used to work until yesterday.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Can anyone help?
    Much appreciated and thanks in advance.

    Mom,
    I figured there's nothing wrong with my native file as a co-worker did the same and Save for Web worked.So why is it that when I do Save for Web, the native file pixelates when previewing the "original"?
    That's what I can't figure out. One minute it worked fine, the next... bang!
    That, and gprobst also being save correctly, imply that there is something wrong with your preferences.
    No time to wait for the server. Here is an extract of the most important part:
    THE CURE:
    Up to Illustrator 10, almost all the preference settings were included in the  aiprefs file, and almost all issues with corrupted settings could be solved by  deleting or moving it; in some rare cases, moving or deleting the folder holding  the settings was required.
    From Illustrator CS on, the preference settings have been spread over a  number of files/subfolders so in many cases deleting the aiprefs file is not  enough: the easy solution is to move the whole folder rather than trying to  figure out which file(s) may be corrupted; just deleting the folder without  moving it first has proved fruitless in some cases.
    Therefore, the cure all consists of the following steps:
    1. Close Illustrator.
    2. Make a Windows search including hidden files and  folders and including subfolders for the  folder holding the preference files; the name of the folder depends on the  Illustrator version, and the position of the folder depends on the OS version.  There is one folder for each version and for each user so it is important to  find the relevant one.
    Up to version 10, the name of the folder is Adobe Illustrator  [X],
    From version CS on, the name of the folder is Adobe  Illustrator [X] Settings.
    [X] is the version number; as standalone versions, CS (Creative Suite) is  called 11, CS2 is called 12, and CS3 is called 13, but the version numbers with  CS are used in the folder name.
    3. Either:
    a) Create a subfolder and move all the contents into it; or
    b) Move  the whole folder to the Desktop.
    With both you may recover the contents of the folder by moving it back if the  issue is not solved and get your preference settings back.
    a) requires creation of the subfolder, but it makes recovery easier,  especially if you create a shortcut to the preference settings folder, and you  can skip the search if/when corruption occurs again.
    You may delete the folder/contents subsequently.
    4. If you have Windows Vista, restart Windows. If not, continue  to 5 without delay.
    5. Restart Illustrator, and see whether the issue is  solved.

  • Illustrator CS2 Save Issues - Random Hexadecimal Naming

    Hello folks,
    I have a weird one for you. I have a user running Illustrator CS2 on a Windows XP SP3 system and has recently developed strange issues when saving changes to existing AI documents of which he is the creator and owner.
    When the user makes a change to the existing file that he has opened, if he goes to file and save, it creates a file with 7 hexadecimal characters followed by a tilde. If the document is then closed, the old file name is lost and the file only exists as the new Hex named file. If he makes another change, without closing the file, and hits Save again, it retains the original file name.
    I have yet to uninstall and reinstall, because I wanted to see if there is a setting that has been thrown out of whack.
    Please advise.
    Thank You,
    Jesse W.

    If you have not yet updated to 12.0.1, do so.
    Are you saving to a network-accessed file server, and, if so, were any changes made to the system recently? In any event, it's best not to work directly on files across a network.
    Finally, always try trashing prefs before resorting to an all-out uninstall/reinstall. (See FAQ #2.)

  • Acrobat Update 8.2.3, Illustrator CS2 won't launch.

    Updater updated Acrobat to 8.2.3 this morning, now Illustrator CS2 won't launch.  Illustrator crashes during launch - seems to get past initializing plug-ins then.....

    @AlllForumMembers: Is this a generic problem experienced by all users who have Acrobat 8 and Ilustrator Cs2? I know someone who has the same combination and it is working well for him.
    @amwilke: Does reinstaling CS2 help?

  • Illustrator cs2 creates pdf with anomalies

    I have Illustrator cs2 (12.0.1) and I create pdfs with it and send these to my clients for proofing. When I view the pdf in acrobat standard 6 it looks fine. When my sales people and clients view it in reader 8 they get a color break down that is incorrect. For example they see a color that should not be there (in the pdf below it is the blue cyan in the logo). So I need to figure out how to fix this problem. Also it does not happen on every pdf.
    here is a link to a pdf
    www.ebfchurch.org/usb3.pdf
    In the link is a pdf that has a problem, and a jpeg to show what it should look like.
    When I save the pdf I have tried turning illustrator off ill. editing capabilities and saved as a V.7 pdf. Not sure what else to try besides making the logo a jpg. Would upgrading to reader 8 help? Would this add that to my selections in illustrator?
    The other anomalies are I's and some lines becoming a dotted line. This one is rarer and is easy to fix (somewhat). I simply rotate the object by a super small portion that no one would notice.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS2 OLE Library

    Does anyone know where i can find a library to
    access (from Visual Basic) the object model of
    Adobe Illustrator CS2 ?
    With adobe illustrator 9 there is a scripting plug in
    which installs a .tlb library
    Is there something similar to that ?
    Please help me ...

    Short answer: download a non-activation version of CS2 from Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    Longer answer: Adobe shut down the activation server for CS2 (and earlier versions) a couple of years ago. For CS2 owners, they've made available a non-activation version of CS2 at the above link.
    Download the non-activation version and use the new non-activation serial number provided there. Your existing CS2 serial number will no longer work.

  • Saving as DWG in Illustrator CS2 - help!!!

    I'm trying to save a file as a .dwg or .dxf in Illustrator CS2. Everytime I save, it creates two files, a .bmp or .jpg and the .dwg or .dxf
    Does this always happen, the two file situation? Because then the files can't be separated from each other if you intend to open them. I need to send these to part of our parent corporation, and it was my understanding that it shouldn't be two documents. I'd never saved as a .dwg or .dxf before, so this is new to me, I'm not sure what is considered "normal."
    Can someone help me understand what's going on here?

    It's normal in case your Illustrator file contains rasterized objects or objects which are rasterized during the export process.
    You can choose which raster format to use in the Auto CAD export options (in Illustrator 14 it's .png or .jpg). Any raster object in the Illustrator file is separately exported to the same folder the .dwg file is exported to. When you reopen that .dwg in Illustrator the raster files come in as linked files.
    Just send them the whole folder including the .dwg and the raster files.

  • Illustrator CS2 extremely slow open times?

    Hi. I have a 23MB file I am opening in Illustrator CS2 and it takes over 14 minuets. The file is not complex but is the largest of the ones I open on a regular basis. I am opening the file from my hard drive, not from the server, and not using any font programs. I'm using Windows XP/Pentium 4/3Ghz/2 MB... Does anyone else have this problem or do I need to upgrade?
    Thanks

    It has to kind of "regenerate" all the layer when you make any action with it (even select)an save it on the sratch disk. So, do not have too much text in one layer (same for graphics)!
    Making sity maps I have to make several layers for buildings and even more for their numbers (depends on the objects/letters count)
    Faster scratch disks help, but you have to have either a full-staffed hardware RAID 5 (preferably 5 VelocyRaptors array) or at least 32 GB onboard memory (for some 26-28 GB RAM-disk) or several (4-5) i-RAMs Boxes in RAID 5 or RIndMA disk (see http://hardwareforall/ww/serverRAMdisk.html) or something else starting at about $20 000).

  • File format differences between Illustrator CS2 and CS3

    Does anyone know the difference between the file format of Adobe Illustrator CS2 and CS3? Is there a document that documents this? Can someone send a link? The reason I am asking is that I have written a plug-in which saves the current CS3 document back down to CS2 so that users who are still using Adobe Illustrator CS2 can open it. However, if the same document is opened by a CS3 user, what objects, constructs or data structures are likely to be lost because the file has be converted down to CS2? Most things seem to be retained and I have yet to find a problem but if yo save manually from CS3 to CS2, Illustrator puts up a warning stating "Saving to a legacy format may cause some changes to your text layout and disable some editing features when the document is read back in". Does anyone have any more detail on this?
    Thank you

    There are new features in CS 3 as opposed t CS 2 and the text engine has been improved some what in CS 3. If you have text on a path that is say curved you are going to see a loss in the spacing and way it is oriented. fixed in CS 4.
    I forget some of the new features in CS 3 what was not a feature in CS 2 will be flattened when saved back.
    Or the feature will simply not be available.

    The AI File Format is not publically documented, as far as I know. I'm sure there are plenty of differences between CS2 & CS3's file formats, but you're not likely to find anything official on the subject.
    What you lose saving back you're more likely to get help on, assuming someone's actually investigated this. I haven't, unfortunately. I wouldn't mind knowing either if someone has information on this.
