Can't paste from Illustrator to pshop as smart object / pixels

Whenever I try to copy paste a vector from Illustrator (CS6 64) to Photoshop (CS6 64) I get the following error:
I'm on Windows 7 and have my Scratch disks set to non-system drives. Have checked permissions and nothing is Read Only.
I can paste as Shape and Shape Layer but not Pixels or Smart Object.

I think the correct answer from this thread might be the issue:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4592865
I have an SSD for my OS drive that is low on space and so I move the temp/tmp folders to a different drive following these instructions: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/check-temp-environment-v ariable/b3f634ad-5649-4665-834f-b4c8570f9c34
I can't import a psd into AE either.
Is there a workaround to get Adobe software to work when temp/tmp are not on c: ?

  • Is there a reason why I can't copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop

    Before the last update, I was able to copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop, and now I can't. Which really suck. Is there a new way I would have to do it?

    I'm not privy to what impact the latest update my have had, but I believe Photoshop still has "its own" clipboard, and there may still be a tendency under certain conditions for it to become inaccessible from/to the rest of the system. Reboot everything and try again.

  • Copy & Paste from Illustrator to InDesign CS4

    Hi,
    I am aware that there are issues when copying/pasting from Illustrator to InDesign, in particular:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6bdda.html
    I have the following problems:
    1- I copy and paste text from Illustrator to InDesign on the same platform and some (not all) of the text is converted to outline in InDesign. The same font is available to both applications. Why this behaviour?
    2- I copy and paste objects containing text from Illustrator to InDesign and some of the objects appear to have moved respective positions when pasted into InDesign. Is this to be expected?
    Are there solutions to these problems? Note that if I expand everything in Illustrator prior to copying and pasting into InDesign, none of these issues occur, but everything is obviously in outline form, with the limitations it entails.
    My clipboard settings are as indicated in the link above, but I have tried other settings with no more luck.
    (Important: Before pasting a graphic, make sure that Illustrator is configured to copy as AICB (see Illustrator Help). In InDesign, make sure that Prefer PDF When Pasting isn’t selected in the Clipboard Handling preferences. If these options aren’t set properly, the Illustrator graphic cannot be edited in InDesign.)
    It is not practical for me to create an Illustrator file for each of the Illustrator graphics and import those files via Place into InDesign. I must use Copy/Paste.
    I use CS4.
    Thanks.

    You can copy/paste from Illy to ID by selecting the text with the type tool in Illy and then pasting it into ID. You will not be able to maintain the formatting. If you want to maintain the appearance the text will be converted to outlines.
    If you need to get anything other than very simple objects from Illy to ID then you should save as AI and use the file > place command to place those objects as linked graphics into ID.
    Your closing statement is irrelevant. Whether you like it or not, this is the way it is.

  • IDSCS5.5 How to determine if a pageitem was copy/pasted from Illustrator

    Hi,
    My flow is as follows:
    - Open document in IndesignServer
    - (XML)Tag every pageitem with our custom IndesignServer plugin (c++ SDK)
    - If pageItem is a group, tag every member separately
    - save/close the document
    My problem is:
    - If pageitem was copy/pasted from Illustrator and pageitem has a gradient fill => IndesignServer crashes while tagging.
    - Copy/pasted illustrator items with plain colorfills work fine.
    Note that:
    - Copy pasted pageitems from illustrator with a gradient fill are considerated as group in Indesign.
    - The gradient fill of Illustrator is not recognized as such in Indesign ( I could only test with Illustrator CS4).
    - The lack of color information in that situation is not enough to consider the object as "from Illustrator".
    My question:
    - How can i determine if the origin of the pageitem is Illustrator? (I have no control on the creation of the document).
    I know this is a hard one...
    Thanks in advance for any usefull input!

  • Trying to paste from Illustrator as smart object

    Is there a trick to pasting a pixel-perfect vector image from Illustrator into Photoshop as a smart object, and not introduce a bunch of anti-aliasing that was not in the original file? My images are perfectly aligned with the pixel grid in Illustrator, and the pixel preview shows them correctly.
    This page is helpful for dealing with vector shape layers, but the techniques he talks about don't work for smart objects. Strangely, he says he doesn't have a problem with smart objects, but I do.
    Here is an example of what I'm talking about: a simple 13x13 pixel image in Illustrator turns to crap in Photoshop when pasted as a smart object (I know an image as simple as this could be pasted as a shape layer, but the real images I'm working with are much more complex, and cannot be pasted as simple shape layers).
    I'm using Photoshop CS4.

    Good news, everyone! With the release of Photoshop CC 2014, this is STILL broken.
    Starting with an Illustrator document that is 50x50 px:
    Then create a 50x50 square, at x=0 and y=0:
    Create a 30x30 square over top of that, inset it (x=10 and y=10):
    Use Pathfinder to punch out the front:
    Paste that into Photoshop as a smart object. 100%x100%, at exactly x=0 and y=0.
    Expected behavior:
    The first ten rows and the first ten columns of pixels should have a solid color.  The pixels in the 11th row or column should be 100% transparent, right? We punched a hole with precise coordinates, and have the Photoshop document matching the document size as well as accommodate exactly 100% of the object.
    But instead, we get this:
    Zooming in further, you can see the 11th pixel, whether looking at the rows or columns, has a slight bleed of the color and opaqueness from the pixel immediately above/left:
    It is approximately 6% of the strength of the adjacent pixel that it is inheriting from. Interestingly, the effect can compound where a pixel is receiving color from BOTH the left AND the top.  Also interesting: the effect does not occur in reverse.  That is, opaque pixels do not "inherit"  ~6% transparency from the top/left adjacent pixels:
    So, my question to Chris, if he's still employed by Adobe, if this is intended behavior, how can I accomplish transparencies with solid lines that do not bleed?  Like.. what is the workaround (that doesn't involve flattening or touching up with masks)?

  • Can't Print from Illustrator Anymore

    just out of the blue, can't print from Illustrator CS3 or 4 to an epson 3800. Had the printer and computer for over a year, Vista 64, never had an issue, printed hundreds of pages with this printer and various Adobe products, then bam, out of the blue, this problem.
    Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, 4 times now!
    I can print test page from the Windows dialog in add/remove printers.
    From Illustrator I have tried different pdf and ai documents, same thing. Printing hangs, nothing comes out, and most frustrating, I can't delete the print job and have to reboot to print another page.
    I can print from the following with no problems:
    Photoshop CS4
    Microsoft Word 2004
    Firefox
    Sketchup
    Vectorworks (CAD)
    ect.
    Just never in Illustrator

    try dumping your preferences
    go to Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe Illustrator CS4 settings, drag this file out to the desktop and then try printing, also make certain the file is on your local machine and not a server.

  • Copy & Paste From Illustrator to Photoshop not matching document size

    I just recently reformated my computer and I've been having an issue with copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop. Before I could copy a 2"x2" vector box from Illustrator into photoshop making a new document and the size and resolution would match. That is the new document would say 2"x2" at 300 ppi in photoshop and the preset would read "clipboard". I would then hit ok and paste and it would match perfectly. Now since I've reformated, photoshop always creates a new document with the wrong size regardless of the settings I enter in Illustrator or photoshop. I have document raster and effects set at 300 ppi in Illustrator and I have the new document set at 300 in photoshop, but it always transfers the 2"x2" box as some other size no matter what resolution I change it too. Again this used to work before so I'm assuming there is some setting I forgot about. Does anyone know? The main issue is the clipboard preset is not matching the document size, its almost as if Illustartor is telling photoshop it's a different resolution when it's not. Copying to 72 ppi seems to have no issue, which makes me think Illustrator just isn't sending it out at 300 ppi, but I don't know why as I have the document set at 300 ppi.

    Have you found an answer that wasn't posted here yet? I have the same issue.

  • Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?

    Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?
    At the moment it just appears as "Vector Smart Object" in Photoshop and I have to take another step and change the layer name.
    Thank you!

    Not that I know. PS doesn't care for these kinds of things and uses its own naming system.

  • Unable to copy+paste from Illustrator CC 2014 to Fireworks CS6

    It seems to me like Illustrator CC 2014 is riddled with bugs and compatibility issues. The latest one I have found is that I am unable to copy+paste directly from Illustrator CC 2014 to Fireworks CS6. However it does work when I copy+paste from Illustrator CC 2014 > Illustrator CC (previous version) > Fireworks CS6. Anyone else have this problem?

    View in Illustrator
    Create file in Photoshop CC
    Paste in Photoshop CC
    Create file in Photoshop CS5

    it's a magic!
    I paste always as Smart Object
    And special for you, create big file in Ps CC
    Paste
    Looking good but
    white 1-Pixel edges are still there, in Cs5 there are no white edges

  • When I copy and paste from illustrator to PS regardless of option choosen the original shape size is lost, instead of true size shape tries to fill entire width. Fix?

    When I copy and paste from illustrator to PS regardless of option chosen the original shape size is lost, instead of true size shape tries to fill entire width. Same happens when using the new library assets.
    Fix?
    Thanks

    Can't always make sense of its effect, but I suspect what your seeing comes under the influence of Photoshop > Preferences > General > Options > Resize Image During Place

    Paste from Illustrator to Edge Animate (CC 2014) has stopped working. Gives an 'Error Loading Image!' Any suggestions?

    Hi SujaiS
    I am using both Illustrator and Edge Animate CC 2014.

    Thanks.

  • Pasting from Illustrator to Photoshop is a frustrating experience

    If you paste something from Illustrator to Photoshop, its size won't be at 100%. Why the heck? And why is the "Keep aspect ratio" in Photoshop turned off by default? I have to click that every single time when pasting from Illustrator.
    And why would Photoshop not start ignoring crap outside a mask. I mask stuff in Illustrator for a reason. I want the bounding box to be the mask, not the extent of its contents.
    How hard could it be to finally fix this? How many more versions with more useless new features to be shoved down our throats?

    Hello. Check this settings:
    Photoshop
    Preferences > Units and Rulers > Screen Resolutions: 72 pixels/Inch, Point/Pica Size: PostScript;
    Image > Image size > Resolution: 72 pixels/Inch;
    Illustrator
    File > Document Setup > Preset > Custom > Line Art and Text Resolution: 72ppi, Gradient and Mesh Resolution: 72ppi;
    Effect > Document Raster Effect Settings > Resolution: 72ppi;

  • Pasting vectors from Fireworks to Photoshop as smart objects

    I'm trying to copy a vector object from Fireworks CS5 to Photoshop CS5, I want to past it as a Smart Object.
    I tried:
    - Normal copy and paste to PS: gives me a bitmap in PS
    - Copy as Vectors in FW > paste in PS gives me the paste option palette. When selecting Smart Object, I get an error:
    "Could not place because the parser module cannot parse the file."
    - Pasting the Fireworks vector object in Illustrator, then copying and pasting it in PS works fine, I can paste it as Smart Object.
    This should be straighforward, and used to work in CS3...
    Can anybody confirm this bug/problem?

    Doesn't work for me either. You can report bugs here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

  • Why can't I copy and paste from Illustrator to Flash?

    I have this silly but frustrating problem. I've drawn a
    series of objects in Illustrator and have copied and pasted many of
    them into separate frames in Flash and all of a sudden they won't
    paste. There are 3 objects I'm trying to paste onto each frame and
    2 of them will paste, but 1 won't. I don't have anything locked and
    I have no clipping masks in Illustrator. They will copy and paste
    in Illustrator. I've tried copy and pasting them separately, I've
    tried opening a new Flash document and pasting, I've tried
    restarting my computer. Does this sound like just another freak
    thing or does anyone have any ideas? Is there some keyboard
    shortcut I might have bumped in Flash to change some hidden
    setting...? But then why is it just 1 of the 3 objects that won't
    paste?
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I think I tried all the options and none worked. Even so, the clipboard options say "Clipboard on Quit". That sounds like it has nothing to do with between active programs.
    I'm able to paste from CS5 TO CC though.
