Can I Save in Illustrator v8 format with CS4?

Hello,
I am using Lightwave 8.5 and trying to import an Illustrator file, but Lightwave says it needs the file saved in Illustrator v8.
Is there a way to save a file from CS4 to the older version?
BTW, I also have Ill. CS2 if that would work?
Thanks

File > Save As. Choose Illustrator or Illustrator EPS. In a following dialogue you can specify version number.

Try to save .ai file as EPS it says "Can't save the illustration. Can't print the illu

Windows 8. Adobe Illustrator CS6
I create an illustration and saved it as an .ai file. Now that I'm ready, I want to save it as an EPS file, but a window pops up saying "Can't save the illustration. Can't print the illustration." I tried saving it under older formats, doesn't work. Help!

I don't think it is a Win8 issue per se. I export to EPS from both CS5.1 and CS6 on Windows 8 64-bit. It may well be a user account issue or the CS6 installation itself.
Try creating a new user account on the Win 8 computer and try it. Only takes a few minutes with the reboot.

Error -54. Can't save the illustration. (very annoying)

I get the following error multiple times a day:
Can’t save the illustration. The file may be read only, or the file is in use by another application, or you do not have the required permissions. Please save the document with a different name, or in a different folder or directory. -54
Sometimes I will work on a file for an hour before this erorr will randomly show up, but when it does I can no longer save the file unless I Save As or Save As Copy. This is frustrating. Does anyone have any idea what the issue could be? I have been unable to isolate a single action that might be causing this.
This is completely new for me. I have never ran into this error before. I'm running Windows 7 and saving locally to an internal hard drive with no other users. I am running Illustrator as an "administrator."
Thanks!

Hi Mike,
Thank you for your reply. I am editing an .AI file and it is not open in any other program. This error is occuring on very file I work with. Sometimes the error will go away within a minute or two, and will allow me to save. Other tims it does not and the only way to save is to mkae a copy.
Thank you for your advice. I did as you suggested and found that "Administrators" was already incldued in that list. When I tried to add Local Administrators, the system did not recognize it and wouldn't allow it.
Unfortunately, this issue persists.

42nato,
You may try the list (skip 5) in this case).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Can't save the illustration. The requested transformation would make some objects fall completely off the drawing area

Thanks for the response but that still didn't work!! it has to be a setting or something in illustrator when dealing with large files, this is a PC not a MAC, we were originally having problems saving files with the .eps ext to it with illustrator CS5, from other bloggers that responded to those post recommended to upgrade illustrator as CS5 is only 32 bit and it we might be maxing our on the available ram for the program.this computer is built with a I7 Processor, 32 gb ram 500 gb WD raptor hard drive 10000 rmp, 90 gb samsung SSD (scratch disk)
any other ideas that come to you please let me know
Thanks!!

Can't save the illustration. The file may be read only, or the file is in use by another applicatio

Getting error "Can't save the illustration. The file may be read only, or the file is in use by another application." The file is not read only and is not in use by another application.

The same thing may happen in Windows Explorer, specifically if it is a very big file (physical size), so preparing the preview may take a lot of time.
In that case it is used by "another application", that is: Explorer.
By the way, which version of Illustrator are you using, Tetons?

Can't save in Illustrator CS2

Hi Group,
I posted on the 25th Oct:-
"Have updated to CS2, everything fine except in Illustrator.
When saving work in the "Save as" or "Save a copy" I get "an unknown error
has occurred"
Even if I open work made prior to the upgrade from CS and then amend it, I
get the same "an unknown error has occurred", when I try to save it
I can save in other formats without problem, but I can't save my work in the
Illustrator format to return to later.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled without success.
Please has anyone else come across this, or can anybody advise a solution to
this problem?
Thanks in advance to all those that take the time to reply.
David "
Since then I have checked the Adobe forum for Illustrator and there appears
to be considerable traffic on this apparent "BUG" in illustrator, it also
seems to be hitting CS as well as CS2.
I find it amazing that Adobe can release software with problems such as
this. How can their credibility withstand issuing software that can't even
save in its own natural format.
It would appear that this bug was evident way back in March, yet here we are
still suffering in November, more that 8 months and still no word from
Adobe.
Any self respecting company would have pulled the offending software from
the shelves until they had a solution, yet Adobe seems not to have even
responded to the problem.
I'm sure there must be thousands of us out here that paid for this defective Adobe software and received a load of junk for their money.
If you feel as strongly as I do about it, how about a mass mailing to the
Adobe forums and let them know how you feel.They might eventually get the
message.
David

Shane,
Might I suggest some additional questions?
Does your file contain text? If so, does the problem occur with files that don't contain text?
What other Adobe applications and versions do you have installed?
What version(s) of Illustrator were you using before you installed your current version?
Did you install a tryout version of Illustrator before you installed the regular version?
What version of Windows are you on? What service packs have you installed?
Are you an administrator of your machine?
Are you using any font management utilities? If so, which ones and what version?
And whatever instructions you usually give for finding out about relevant Adobe common files. (I don't know what those instructions are.)
The only common pattern I have noticed in the forum posts is that the saving difficulties seem to be related to text, and that the only reliable solution is to manually remove all Adobe software including the Common Files and the registry entries from the machine and reinstall all the Adobe applications. This "solution" is daunting and undoubtably overkill; most likely there are just one or two PDF-related conflicting files and/or registry entries that must be removed, but there is insufficient data to identify which ones they are. Simply uninstalling and reinstalling CS or CS2 does not work.
(For more than a month ever since I upgraded to Microsoft Office 2004 as part of Adobe's Exchange migration I have had the same kind of problem with Microsoft Entourage, that it will not access my Exchange account. Nobody else here at Adobe is having this problem, and it is almost certainly is due to the fact that I had previously been using a very early version of Microsoft Office X, one that was released concurrently with OS X itself, and had not updated it for many years. The installer for Office 2004 apparently left some incompatible common framework on my machine, which it is not prepared to correctly detect and remove or update because nobody at Microsoft had such a stale environment.)

This error is reported when attempting to save an illustrator file over an existing file with the same name. Yes saving it to the desktop and then copying it over the file on the shared drive works. This is not a solution for us. Full access has been granted to the user on the network share being used.

Can you try saving a second time after the error, as that may let you save in some situations, though usually that is with Photoshop, sometimes with Illustrator when PDF compatible is on.

How can I save pages as a document with the new Mavericks version of pages?

Is there any way to save a pages document as a Microsoft document? Additionally, is there any way to save a numbers document as an Excel document?
Since I have downloaded the new Mavericks software with the new Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, I can't save anything as a Microsoft document anymore. Can anyone please help? I'm a student needing an answer because most institutions only use Microsoft. This is an extremely upsetting fall back for Apple if there isn't a way to accomplish these activities.
Also, if anyone has any information if Apple is going to provide new drivers for old HP printers and scanners, please inform me. My multi-functional printer is obsolete (according to a phone conversation with HP). Currently, I have to jump through hoops to get the scanner to work and Preview crashes most of the time (with the Mavericks update).

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iWork does not let you save a document as an Office document by default, so you have to do some extra steps. First open the document and go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Export to, and choose the Office app to create a document for Microsoft Office.
Respecting to printer drivers, Apple does not provide newer drivers for an obsolete printer. Instead, see if Gutenprint works > http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php

Can't save file on iOS device with low free space available

Hi,
I was using SharedObject to save settings in my game. However, recently I discovered on one of our devices it doesn't work. I've found somewhere on this forum discussion that air can't save sharedobject when available space is lower than about 300mb (link here: Bug#3711301 - sharedobjects fail when available storage is low). On my iphone it's about 40mb, but file, which I want to save is just 2 variables.. persistenceManager doesn't work too (well i've looked at source and it's just using SharedObject). So i've decided to just write file by myself:
declarations:
public var mute:Boolean = false;
public static var fullId:String = "";
then in constructor:
flash.net.registerClassAlias("Settings", GameSettings);
load();
and finally save() and load() functions:
public function save():void
try {
log("begin save()");
var file:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("settings.txt");
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open(file, FileMode.WRITE);
var settings:GameSettings = new GameSettings();
settings.fullId = fullId;
settings.mute = mute;
stream.writeObject(settings);
stream.close();
log("end save()");
catch (error:Error) {
log("[ERROR] " + error.name + ": " + error.message + "\n" + error.getStackTrace());
public function load():void
try {
log("begin load()");
var file:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("settings.txt");
if(!file.exists){
log("settings.txt does not exist, created new one..");
save();
return;
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open(file, FileMode.READ);
var settings:GameSettings = stream.readObject() as GameSettings;
mute = settings.mute;
fullId = settings.fullId;
log("loaded mute = " + mute);
log("loaded fullId = " + fullId);
stream.close();
log("end load()");
catch (error:Error) {
log("[ERROR] " + error.name + ": " + error.message + "\n" + error.getStackTrace());
My GameSettings class:
package
public class GameSettings
public var fullId:String;
public var mute:Boolean;
public function GameSettings()
This works on desktop, android. Works on my ipad too, which has 10gb of free space. However, like I said, it doesn't work on iphone5s with 40mb free memory.
Here's a log:
begin load()
settings.txt does not exist, created new one..
[ERROR] Error: Error #0
     at Autumn/save()
     at Autumn/load()
     at Autumn()
It's clear that AIR can't open or write to 'settings.txt' file. What can I do to solve that issue (other than making more free space on iphone)? Is there any workaround for that?

Any help please?
