Anybody tested Illustrator CS4 with OS-X Mavericks yet?

Anybody tested Illustrator CS4 with OS-X Mavericks yet?
Will it run? It runs fine in Mountain Lion.

Simple basic testing CS4 with 10.9 DP3:
- no problem with Illustrator (open, save, export, export to web, tools, basic work)
- photoshop unworkable (starts, but basic tools like pen or brush are not working properly)
- some problems with InDesign (cmd-space for zoom does not work, can not quit properly, just with force quit)
In DP4 (under Parallels):
- InDesign now quitting OK, Photoshop still unusable
Ups, when installing 10.9 GM direct on external HDD (no virtualization), Adobe CS4 Design Standard (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat with Distiller) work OK for me, no problem.

Adobe Illustrator CS4 keeps crashing on Mavericks

Hello I have a copy of Adobe CS4 Illustrator. every time I view the fonts it always crashes. I have a second computer with the same software installed with no problem although i have not upgraded tht computer to Mavericks yet, so I am beginnning to think that Mavericks is to blame. My current computer is a mac book pro 2.6ghz i7 16gig. Is the operating system too new to work with the older software? If so is there a patch to sort out the kinks?

This solution solved my crash problem today!!!!
Couldnt for the life of me work out why my file kept crashing, on save, selecting anything even just moving around the screen it would crash.
Tried all of the solutions on the Adobe forum, nothing worked, until....
Relinked the one JPG file i had linked in my file to a PSD instead and it has'nt crashed once. The offending jpg had a clipping mask applied to it.
Not ideal (to have to not link JPGs) but least its stable now.
Thanks so much for the tip comicstar, I lost about 6 hours trying to get my file finished, sorted in 5 minutes after it stopped crashing.
Cheers,
Dooda
ps. I'm posting on a few posts as this problem seems quite widespread. D

Compatability of Illustrator CS4 with CS3

I am trying to find out how to create a file from CS4 in CS3 format. Can someone point me in the right direction?

paul tech wrote:
Has anyone had any type reflow or file problems to be aware of when opening CS3 in CS4 or downsaving CS4 to CS3?
Only Type on a path should reflow. CS3 and CS4 use the same text engine so there shouldn't be any reflowing. Type on a Path was updated in CS4 and improved, so there may be some shifting there.

Anybody tested iPad Air with 1080i ts files?

Hey there,
my 3rd gen The New iPad wasn't able to play these files from my sat box with AV Player HD. Anyboday tried to do that with iPad Air? Bitrate is about 17mbit.
I really need a solid reason to upgrade beside the weight.
Thanks a lot, I appreciate real experience!
Egor.

I was going to suggest not to use the Guest Network settings, but I see how the android is connecting to your FTP. But there again, idk of the Guest Network settings will allow that or not.
I just know if you have a Guest Network wifi enabled, any one attached to that network can not see anything else. It can only connect to the internet, even a printer can't be seen.
So your other wifi network must not be set to Guest Networking, in other words it's a total different wifi router right?

Creating spot color in Illustrator CS4 js

Hi,
I need to create spot color in Illustrator CS4 with js, with assigned name and color values. Here what I have:
myColor = myDoc.spots.add({name:"FOIL", colorValue:[10, 0, 100, 0]});
But it comes out as process instead of spot and the color is not assigned.
Thank you for your help.
Yulia

the add function has no parameters, you have to add them after
addSpot ('FOIL', 10, 0, 100, 0);
function addSpot(name, c, m, y, k) {
    try {
        swatch = app.activeDocument.swatches[name]; // if swatch exists....
        addSpot (name+='1', c, m, y, k); // ...add 1 to swatch name
    catch (e) {
        var newSpot = app.activeDocument.spots.add();
        newSpot.name = name;
        var newColor = new CMYKColor();
        newColor.cyan = c;
        newColor.magenta = m;
        newColor.yellow = y;
        newColor.black = k;
        newSpot.colorType = ColorModel.SPOT;
        newSpot.color = newColor;
        var newSpotColor = new SpotColor();
        newSpotColor.spot = newSpot;

Hi,
My Adobe CS 4 ran perfectly find up until I updated my MAC OS from Mavericks to the new YOSIMITE. When I launch illustrator CS4 I get a window message the reads "some plug-ins in the additional Plug-ins folder are conflicting with application or user plug-ins. It will skip loading plug-ins from additional plug-ins folder." there is a OK button that I must click on to close the message window and then illustrator will continue loading process, then a second window will appear reading "Error loading plug-ins. PhotoshopImport.aip" there is a OK button that I must click on to close the message window and then illustrator will continue loading and launch.
The problem is when I open a current file that has a psd link I will get a window message reading "could not find a plug-in to read the link file _______ choose repair to locate the missing file, replace to select another file, or ignore to leave the link unchange." When selecting a psd link /file it is greyed out which I cannot select it. I can not select, choose, import or open any files/links that is a psd.
Would someone please help me resolve this issue please!!!

Illustrator CS4 crash with Mac OS X.10 Yosemite

Hello, after installing Mac OS X.10 Yosemite, my Illustrator CS4 doesn't open and block with this message below. I run the latest version of Java. Anyone has an idea or a solution to fix this bug ? ?

Could you please tell me how you reinstalled CS4? I have uninstalled CS4 and followed the instructions to download a trial version to reinstall but all I get is this:
How do I use this to reinstall? Going mad as I had exactly the same issues when I bought a new iMac last year with Mavericks. I can't afford to shell out £1,000s of pounds on CS6 nor can I afford £50 a month for something that was working fine before I made the error of upgrading to Yosemite.

User can't open a PDF created with Illustrator CS4

I'm creating a PDF in Illustrator CS4, and I save it on a server where the user can get it. User is not able to open the file, it says acces denied. When I email that same file to several users, they can open it without a problem. I have checked that there's no restrictions on accessibility on the folder or the file. I wonder if it has to do with windows user permissions...
Our IT guy couldn't find any problem ....
Any clue?

Try saving locally and copying to the server.

Macbook Air 11" i7 corrupt files problem with Adobe Illustrator CS4

Hi
this problem may not be entirely related but maybe someone could help anyways or knows how I can proceed...
I'm running Illustrator CS4 on a Macbook Air 11" (latest 2011 model, with i7, 4GB, 128SSD), and lately some files are getting corrupted. specifically, adobe illusrator CS4 files with weeks of work. interestingly, the time machine backups are also getting corrupted.
its like I'm working on a file for a few days, backing up with time machine as well
closes the file, after a few days returns to it… (normal behavior)
then when i try to get back to the file then sometimes it says "Cant open the illustration, could not complete the operation" and opens a blank canvas.
restoring the file via time machine also gives the same error (its like all versions get corrupted simultaneously), even 4-5 versions backwards, even though they worked before when the file worked
it happened quite a few times, ruining weeks of work.
I tried the following:
reinstalling CS4 - didn't work
Opening the files on CS5 - still don't open
doing the file recovery thing and then opening it in a notepad - didn't work at all
using Time machine - the files are still corrupt
it only happenes with AI files, not photoshop files, for example.
I thought maybe it has anything to do with SSD? since my previous macbook pro (15", 2007) never did these errors…
please help
Eido

If at all, this would be I/O performance and bandwidth issues with Time Machine, but I don't think that's the problem. More to the point I think that it's a case of Preview opening the files to genereate thumbnails and icons and something going wrong there. I'd look up some guides on how to edit the relevant plist and conf files to exclude your AIs or turn off the behavior to generate these previews globally. This may help hugely...

Illustrator CS4 problem with server

Hi,
I'm currently using Illustrator CS4 on OX Snow leopard (10.6.2). While I'm connected remotely to a server using VPN tracker 6, Illustrator will freeze whenever I try to open or save a file. It only does this when connected to this specific server and no other adobe application is affected (Photoshop, InDesign). If I disconnect to the server while Illustrator is frozen when opening/saving, it will immediately resume whatever its doing like nothing was wrong.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem? I could just run Illustrator while not connected to the server but thats very inconvenient.

One of my users is having a similar issue. If he is connected to our VPN from home, he can't fully launch Illustrator. I would assume that Illustrator would cease to work if he connected to the VPN after launching. He is running 10.5.8 and CS3 with a cisco VPN connected through a web interface. The work around to use one or the other is there, but you're correct saying it's inconvenient. Anyone know a fix on either the Mac end or Illustrator?

Setting up Dreamweaver CS4 with PHP testing server... Live View doesnt work

Hello,
Im trying to setup Dreamweaver CS4 with a php website im
making. Ive setup the site information, and provided a testing site
(XAMPP), and i can see the fully rendered .php pages in the Live
View tab. However, say i change some of the text in the .php file
(say from Hello to Hi) and
then click in the Live View tab - the page does not update. It
seems to do something, bit just returns the same.
How do i set it up so, like with plain .html pages, you can
make a change to the source code and instantly see the change in
Live View?
(At the moment i have to make the change to the source code,
save it, click Live View to cancel it, and then click Live View
again).
Background:
Ive setup XAMPP (G:\XAMPP\)
Ive setup vhosts in apache.
Ive stored my websites in G:\Websites
Ive set the testing server to G:\Websites\site, where "site"
is setup as a vhost and correctly displays when entered into a
browser.
Ive set the url prefix to
http://site/
Ive set local root to G:\Websites\site
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Did you try using F5 to refresh the page? If that doesn't
work for you,
then you'll have to drop and restart Live view. No need to
save and reload
the page.

Test: Using Crop marks in indesign CS4 with Epson 3800 Mac 10.5.7

Jun 19, 2009 9:35 PM
Crop marks using indesign CS4 with Epson 3800 Mac 10.5.7
My crop marks and pages are printing larger than my document sizes. My paper size is 13x19, so I should have crop marks at the exact corners of the page sizes. But indesign is printing the entire document larger. So my document which is 11x14.75 is now printing 11.25x15.5. All my settings are correct. So, is anyone else using an Epson 3800 with CS4 indesign having issues such as the above? And can I ask (beg) a few of you to do a test print with crop marks and let me know the results?
My workflow has been completely stalled because I can't get my pages to print the right sizes with the crop marks at the right measurements. I'm printing a photo portfolio on the Lumijet double sided paper and "when" it did work awhile back sometime several months ago, the finals looked great. I've already reinstalled both the Epson 3800 driver and the Indesign CS4 software, but the results are still the same.
So, here are my settings:
document size: 11x14.75
in the print panel:
Printer: Epson 3800
Setup: Paper size: Super A3/B13x19, scale 100% width & height, page position Centered
Marks & Bleed: Marks: "Crop Marks" checked. offset: 0, weight: .25, Bleed and Slug: Use Document bleed settings, include slug area. The bleed is 0 for top, bottom, left and right
Color Management: Document profile: Adobe RGB, Options: Indesign handles colors, Printer Profile: (A custom made profile using Xrite for the 3800 with Lumijet paper)
The settings on the Epson 3800
Epson 3800 Printer
Presets (set for the profile mentioned above)
No Color management
Sometimes, on a whim, the printer and indesign cooperate together like good little children should. But not often. And I can not conclude why they are nice to each other sometimes, but given the same detailed data at other times, they fight.
If anyone could run through a similar process using indesign with a photo layout and setting up the printer settings for both the Epson 3800 and in the indesign program and let me know their results, I would value your conclusions very much. You don't even have to waste paper or ink. Finally, after wasting so many pages of paper and of ink. I deleted the photos from the page, and printed it blank with only the crop marks for me to measure if it was coming out right or not.
Thank you for any response. And feel free to call me if you want to vent about Epson 3800's or about Indesign CS4 anytime! I'm up late.... 646 256 8853.
Thaddeus

I specified the paper size as strictly 13x19, no boarderless, no retain size. Same problem. I also did as you suggested below. The pdf document does remain true to the document. As a pdf doc. I changed the color mgmt to Adobe rgb 1998. It looks okay, but not as lively as I get when printing correctly with my color mgmt working and in sync.
Your final question about simply using photoshop. Well... I might go back to it and give up on Indesign if this is the case that it won't simply crop my documents to the sizes that I input them to be cropped as. But, I am using Indesign so that I can create a page layout that I can't do in Photoshop. My folio is about 25 or more pages with double page spreads. I am printing on a two-sided Lumijet paper and my folio was custom designed to be cut out at 11x14.75. If and when it is printed correctly, I am printing on both sides of the paper and trimming it to exact size.
It sounds as if you have exhausted the potential problems and don't have a clear explanation for why the doc isn't printing correctly in Indesign either with the color mgmt. or the document sizes. I'll try one more print using a different color profile similar enough to get at minimum, an okay print. If it doesn't print at least okay, then it isn't most likely my profile..... Okay done. Crazy. The color is inaccurate, but for some reason or another, the document size printed correctly. It measured exactly 11x14.75. What I have done during this period of time is:
First) I did as you suggested and turned the Print to Adobe PDF 9 and created a print there. I measured it and it did measure correctly. I didn't love the color, but... at least it is measuring correctly.
Second) I turned the Printer back to Epson 3800 (I'm beginning to think that this simple gesture was what caused the printer to print correctly) I didn't change any settings, but I did make sure that they were set correctly as before. The paper size was set to 13x19. When I make sure this setting is right in the "printer" dialogue for the Epson 3800, and then switch back to ID, the printer dialogue in Id changes to "Define by Printer." But I changed nothing, other than the profile to an older one that I used before. The color is still inaccurate, but at least for two prints just now back to back, the measurements were correct. What to do? Lol.
Thanks again for all of your time spent trying to resolve this issue.
Sincerely,
Thaddeus

Why does Illustrator CS4 save pdfs with clipping paths and make rasters of gradient areas

I am on a IMAC and upgraded to 10.6.8 Jan 2014. I am using CS4 Illustrator to create with. When i save my work as a pdf then reopen the pdf in Ill to make changes, the whole page has:
A.) Multiple clipping paths around it
B.) Most text has now become outlined. Not editable anymore.
C.) Gradient areas have multiple clipping paths of the single gradient area
D.) The gradient areas now become rasterized.
This is very frustrating as now all of my marketing files, some 300+, are worthless. I don't know where to look anymore to find the problem.
Please help.
Thank you very much

John,
I have the presets as you have shown. I had been editing the supplied items as you suggested. Then figured i should ask the questions of those who are better than I.
But still a bit confused as to why the new save places clipping paths around the document.
Thank you John and Monika for your help.
why does Illustrator CS4 save pdfs with clipping paths and make rasters of gradient areas
created by John Mensinger in Illustrator - View the full discussion
I do a save as "pdf" in the format pull down tab. I save to a folder on the hard drive. Where is the "Illustrator editability" check box? I presumed it is in Acrobat some where
but i seem to be lost.
It is in Illustrator's Save Adobe PDF dialog, which pops up before the saved file is written.
https://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-6439399-644928/450-397/Untitl ed-1.jpg
Sorry i didn't mention this, but this seems to have occurred when using images and text from provided pdfs.
That's a critical fact. If you didn't do the original save, the above is moot, and it's too late to exercise any control over the save process. Someone else failed to save for editability. The only thing you can do is clean up/repair the content, (release clipping masks, rebuild rasterized elements, expand objects, etc.), and save correctly as AI. Then, if necessary, re-save as PDF with the correct settings.
