Adobe Illustrator CS5 - Fonts not found

We are changing our user from a Mac to a Windows (7) based computer and we are running in to issues with files that she created on the Mac version of Adobe Illustrator. She used some fonts (AGaramond-BoldItalic for example) and it works great on the Mac. I copied all the font files to the windows computer and made sure they work (opened Illustrator and created a document with the fonts).
The issue now is that when we open the old documents from the Mac on the Windows computer it gives an error "Font not found on the system; missing font has been substituted."
I am not sure how to tell the file that the fonts Are there because when it opens all the fonts are to a default Arial.
So far I have tried:
Removing all Adobefnt*.lst files
Resetting adobe settings by holding ctrl+alt+shift and opening the program
Testing the file on a brand new user account
uninstall and reinstall the program
None of these have worked.

There are more cache files than the adobefnt files. See here for more detailed instructions on cleaning your font caches. That said, it sounds likely that the issue is that your fonts are mac only, as Larry said above. You should be able to use Type -> Find Font... to replace them with whatever version you have on the PC but watch for formatting/flow changes. Also, my condolences to your designer. ;-)

Adobe Illustrator CS5 does not show PDF thumbnails when browsing

When I am browsing through PDF files to open one of them in Adobe Illustrator CS5 it does not show the thumbnail. When I am browsing in Adobe Acrobat it does show the thumbnails. If I have Adobe Acrobat open and am browsing through files and the thumbnails are showing then if I open Adobe Illustrator and browse for a file the thumbnail does show up.
How can I get Illustrator to always show the PDF thumbnails. I have to frequently browse through thousands of PDF files and it is imperative that I can see the thumbnail for these PDF files. I primarily use Illustrator to edit PDF files.
The computer is Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit edition. Thumbnails barely work when browsing files through Explorer. Some thumbnails will show, but not very many of them and it is extremely slow to load the thumbnails that will display.

Bob,
So I am assuming you are talking about viewing the files using this method first:
To use the 32-bit version of Windows Explorer, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type the following in the Open box, and then click OK:
Drive_Letter:\windows\syswow64\explorer.exe /separate
Note The placeholder Drive_Letter represents the drive where the x64-based version of Windows is installed.
Please let me know if I am missing what you are saying here.

Upgraded to Yosemite (10.10.1) my Adobe Illustrator CS5 will not load.

When I open my CS5 it says "to open 'Adobe Illustrator CS5' you need to install the legacy Java 6 runtime". Don't know what that means or how to find it and I've tried.
I'm somewhat compter saviez but this I cannot figure out.
Please help!

jl,
It is here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572
Some have found that the page may turn up blank to start with, so it may be necessary to reload the page.
Others have found that it may depend on browser. Specifically, a switch from Safari has solved it in one case.
Apart from that, I believe the right order/way is to update the OS, then reinstall the applications. Was that how you did it?

Adobe Illustrator CS5 will not open in Windows Vista

All I get is "Adobe Illustrator has stopped working"
Then i get "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"
I've tried reinstalling 6 times now, and it still wont work. I dont know where to start. Please help ASAP I have a presentation to submit!!

I beleive you are looking at the right place ,
Click the start Button
At the bottom serach box , type "amt3.log" , does the file show up in the list , if no
then I would say contact Adobe support ,and get this fixed.
The problem could be either at the time of installation or launch.
also can you share the install logs:-
1 .Navigate to the log files in one of the following folders:
Windows 32 bit (XP, Vista, 7): \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\
Windows 64 bit (XP, Vista, 7): \Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers
The log filename includes the product name and install date, followed by ".log.gz." The extension .gz indicates a compressed format.
Use a decompression utility such as Winzip or StuffIt to decompress the .gz file. Once uncompressed, the log file is a plain text file.
Open the .log file using WordPad (Windows)
copy and paste the log file in the pastebin.com

Adobe Illustrator CS5 SDK not working with Xcode on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1

I recently was interested in developing an illustrator plug-in. I downloaded all the required files listed on the adobe site, including the pdf files.
I was following the "getting started guide" while working on Xcode 4.1 when I saw that it required a "Carbon Bundle", since there wasn't one. I did my research and found out that I could download the bundle, which would only work on Xcode 3.2. However, when any of the sample files which are Carbon-based are loaded, Xcode 3.2 crashes while Xcode 4.1 notifies me with "Base SDK Missing".
I would just love to have the sample code running, and I'm pretty sure I can handle it from thereon.
Thanks in advance!

I can get it to build on Lion with Xcode 4.1. The steps I went through were to first set all the "Build Settings" > Base SDK to Mac OS X 10.6 like below:
Then when I built I found it would get stuck on TwirlFilter think there is a problem with Xcode as after force quiting and restarting the computer it was able to compile successfully.
If you get any LLVM errors like error: extra qualification ... to do with AIPlatformFileDlgOpts then you just have to go to the line with the error and delete AIPlatformFileDlgOpts:: though I think that only happens if you have not done a clean before you built and there are still projects with Base SDKs set as 10.5
Let me know how you get on,
Robert

Opening Adobe illustrator CS5 file in CorelDraw X5

I was totally new to graphic design and the best I could do was resize images in MS Paint or use Word 2010. Than I discovered Adobe Illustartor as I needed to make a logo and Letter Head. After breaking my head against my monitor (does not hurt any more) and learning it for 2 weeks, I became sufficiently good enough (if I can be excused to say that) and designed the logo and letterhead. Now it has to go to print.
The problem is that all the commercial printers and the people who use them, HERE use CorelDRAW and not only that but also older versions from 9 to 15. They refuse to take Adobe Illustrator files or even CorelDRAW files above version 12 such as v15 or X5. They refuse to work with PDF files also. No Word 2010 files either. Simply and Only CorelDRAW files of version 9 to 12.
The Adobe Illustrator CS5 does not have options of saving the files in ".cdr" format. And when I import or open the ".ai" file in CorelDRAW X5, many things happen. Color changes of text as well as objects. Some objects do not get displayed. Alignment and positioning gets changed, and many others.
I have taken some steps after reading on the net to make it easier for CorelDRAW X5 to import the ".ai" files. And also tried many things. These include, but are not limited to..
Uncheck/disable the "compression" when saving the file in AI-CS5.
Uncheck/disable the "Embed ICC Prile" when saving in AI-CS5.
Convert all text to outlines.
Saving in "SVG", "PDF" all different versions.
Saving in older AI-CS5 Legacy versions.
Exporting the file from AI-CS5 in different file formats.
Importing the file from CD-X5.
Working in RGB Color Mode.
... And many more.
Please note that I can not be expected to fresh learn CD-X5 and abandon AI-CS5 and design from the begining, if that is a "sole" answer. Also my design is simple enough. Attached are 2 pics. One of the logo and the other of the letterhead. Just 3 rounded rectangles filled with 2 color gradients and vectors of animals with styles applied to those animals and with text at the bottom.
The Logohttp://oi44.tinypic.com/ieqs0m.jpg
The LetterHeadhttp://oi41.tinypic.com/1zzj03s.jpg
Please further note (yes! I know, you have heard that many times) that although I was successful in designing (the asthetic beauty of the design is another matter), I am still new to designing. So Color Theroy or Font theroy have not made past me. And I wonder what's the point of having a standard of "SVG" If these so called "Vector Editing Applications" can not handle the files uniformly?
I guess my question is how to either
Export/Save/Save As/Place the file from AI-CS5 to CD-X5
Import/Open/Open As/Place the file in CS-X5 from AI-CS5
Without changes being made to it. My objective to to hand over a print ready file to the printing guys.
Thanks in Advance.

Not CS3 but version 3 like this

Adobe Illustrator CS5

My Adobe Illustrator CS5 will not open as a new Ai file/art board. It opens up as a new PDF and even opens a AI file as a PDF. What can I do? This is new to me.
Example: Open>New>set my dimensions
This is the same with even opening an Ai file it just converts to a PDF
The header of the Art board says PDF
Thanks

Missing Fonts in Adobe Illustrator CS5 Version 15.1.0 Agenda Bold and Agenda Black

Hi,
We are using Adobe Illustrator CS5 Version 15.1.0 to re-create Points of Sales (PoS) that our 3rd party company sends us. But when we open the PoS from the 3rd Party we get a message saying we are missing 2 fonts. The names of these are Agenda Bold and Agenda Black. Are these Fonts from a newer version of Illustrator or are we able to purchase/download these?
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Thanks,

These are not standard system or Adobe fonts. You will have to buy them from whatever type foundry that produces them.

Pattern file does not function properly in Adobe illustrator CS5

So I learned Adobe Illustrator CS5 (Say 10%). I have these two files which I downloaded from the net. They are patterns files for animals skins.
The first file is named "Animals_skins.ai" and is taken from htthttp://www.adobe.com/uk/web/tips/ill10qtpatt/p:// and can be downloaded from the same page ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/magic/special/illustrator/win/pattern.zip and has 10 Animal Skins patterns. When I
Open the file directly in Adobe Illustrator CS5, I get the contents of the file as well as they are added directly to the "Swatches Panel" on the left. When I hover over the individual boxes/Thumbnails/rectangles in the Swatches Panel with the mouse, I get the titles like "Jagur" or "Tiger" telling me the name of the patterns.
The same is the Case when I load the file using the "Open Swatch Libary" > "Other Libary" and browse to the file and open it. Works perfectly. I can apply the patterns to any shapes and it works like a charm.
The Second file is named "skins.ai" and is taken from http://www.vectoropenstock.com/4416-Animal-Skin-Patterns-vector and can be dowloaded from the same page http://www.vectoropenstock.com/descargar.php?id_vect=4416 and has 35 Skins Patterns. When I
Open the file directly in Adobe Illustartor CS5, I get the contents of the file showing me the patterns. However they are not added to the "Swatches Panel" directly as the first file does. Insted I get some other colors in the swacthes panel and when I hover over the individual boxes/Thumbnails/rectangles in the Swacthes Panel with the mose, I DON'T get the titles.
The same is the case when I load the file using the "Open Swatch Libary" > "Other Libary" and brose to the file and open it. Does not work. I CAN't apply the patterns to any sahpes. Even If I select the patterns from the main windows by clicking, selecting and draging to the swatches panle and add there. When I apply the same to any shape it applies them but it's all messed up and lines appear around the single/individual pattern if the shape to which it is being applied is big enough.
Can't figure it out that why the first file works and the second files does not. I am new to Illustartor (How many times you have heard that?) and any solution would greatly aid me in my learning process. I need the patterns for a logo design.
I have another 3rd file which has Cow Patterns and it behaves exactly the same way as the second file. Opening it shows me the pattern in the main window but it does not get added to the swatches panle either by adding it using the mouse or opening it using the browse libary method.
Thanks in Advance

you have to read the tutorial in the same page you downloaded the swatches from. It tells you exactly how to make the tiles match.

Adobe Illustrator CS5 - Missing required plugins.BrS pencil tool/will not open program

Hi!
We hve downloaded a trial version of Adobe Illustrator CS5 and we are not able to open it. We followed Step 1 and Step 2 and then opened up the Zip version.I also have Windows Vista Home Premium Copyright 2007.
Would anyone know how I can access it?
Jana

Reinstall the app with proper admin privileges and also do run it that way. Sounds very much liek mundane permissions issues where some things don't get installed and/or the program cannot establish its user-specific configuration...

Adobe Illustrator CS5 Not Remembering Last Settings & Crashing

Hello
I am using the latest version of illustrator CS5 on a MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo, the rest of my Master Collection work ok except illustrator
Firstly, when ever you quit illustrator it crashes and asks to send a crash report
Second, when you reopen and go to File > Open Recent, there are no previously worked on documents in the list
Thirdly, when i set up the units in inches for example then reopen it the next day, it goes back to milimeters??
Does anyone know how to amend this problem? Apart from that it seems to run fairly smooth
Thanks

To add to this in case your trash the settings folder and it still happens you have to right or control click on the settings folder in the preferences and go to Get Info and look for Ownership and permissions and you can change it there to read/write.
But when you do so click on the lock icon at the bottom of the Get Info window and then enter your username and password at the bottom of the Get Info there is a gear like icon with an arrow head facing down it will allow you to apply the change to all the contents in the settings folder to read/write.
To find the Settings folder
1. Quit Illustrator.
2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe illustrator CS5 Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.

I am trying to install adobe illustrator CS5 from cd but it will not install

When I install it the message 'installer has failed to initialize' appears. It then advises to download the Adobe Support Advisor. I have done this but the advisor will not respond (I have already installed Adobe Air). I have also successfully run the Adobe cleaner tool.
Any help please?

Try downloading it and then run the installer.
1. Navigate to Illustrator CS6 Downloads page : http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=illustrator
2. Sign in with your Adobe ID.
3. Copy and paste the following links on the address bar one at a time and hit enter :
Adobe Illustrator CS5 English Windows
http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/ILST/15/win32/Illustrator_15_LS1.7z
http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/ILST/15/win32/Illustrator_15_LS1.exe
4. Save both the files.
5. Run the .exe file
In case you still face issues
Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and clean out the temporary files created during install in your temp directory. Additioanlly, check your task manager and terminate any instances of setup.exe and msiexec.exe that may still be running

"Font not found on the system" for work logo font

I just started a new job and every single AI file I work with in illustrator is using VTypewriterRoyal - the company logo.
It automatically defaults to Myriad with the msg:
"Font not found on the system; missing font has been substituted."
I've spent way too much time changing it back from Myriad once in AI + scouring the web for answers. Haven't come up with any.
No one else at work seems to have this problem. I've tried installing and uninstalling the font.
Redownloading as OTF instead of TTF.
Nothing is working, so I really really hope someone can help me since I'm going to be considered slow if I keep having to take the time to change every ******* file I open.
Adobe support is seemingly overly complicated and this issue is making me crazy!!!
Someone please help. I'm on a brand new iMac 27" using 10.6.8....
Thanks.

check your spelling/spacing
I see
VTypewriter Royal
and
VTypewriterRoyal
They are different names...one has a space, the other does not
They must match exactly to work correctly
