CAN'T SAVE CS3
I have been running CS3 for a while now and have never been able to save in it. All I get is an "unknown error has occured" message. I have reinstalled numerous times, but nothing fixes the issue. I have to save down in Illustrator 8.0 in order for my files to save. I would REALLY like a solution to this problem, as I purchased the CS3 full package, I would love to be able to use it to it's potential.
I have been looking in forums and have made several posts, but no one seems to know an answer.
I am running on a PC, Windows XP Professional, Adobe Master Collection CS3
Well, looking at your post history see that you never posted this question in the AI forums. So why not try there? also it would hugely help to know what other (Adobe) software is on the system, what printer drivers are installed etc.. This kind of error usually boils down to either trying to embed specific print or or color profile options or something with the globalyl shared PDF libraries being awry. It simply works as the legacy format, because it doesn't use any of these options...

"Can't Save the File. Can't Print the File" error in Illustrato CS3
I get the error "CAN'T SAVE THE FILE. CAN'T PRINT THE FILE". In Illustrator CS3
According to adobe this is an issue of having more that 28 spot colors, so I went to the swatch palette and pulled the fly-out menu out and told it to remove any unused swatches which took me down to 6 spot colors, but I still get the error when trying to save it to EPS format, which is the format I have to have for the ripping program for the vinyl printer in my sign shop. Saving it in AI format causes no issues.
Is there still something I am missing?
Thanks
RogerI appreciate your comment, I see what your saying.
However...my issue is...I am making a vehicle wrap on a full size van for a radio station and it consist of pictures of a clouds for the background with two pictures of music artist that are associated with the kind of music this station plays, then there is a big round logo of the radio station that involves three spot colors (Purple, white and one of which is technically the black "K" ribbon) along with the web address of the station but it is of the same colors of the radio station logo...then there is the corporate logo that utilizes another spot color (blue)so as you can see I need the spot colors that I'm using.
So just to make sure I'm clear...I can only have 28 different individual colors, even though I have photos involved in the rendering? How can I make that work because photos obviously have more than 28 colors in them. It doesn't make sense because you can do a live trace on something in literally hundreds of colors.
Would it help if I flattened the photo work from photoshop before I move it to Illustrator? The reason I ask is because when I go to save and choose EPS the next save dialogue that comes up...down at the bottom there is two exclamations that one says something about embedding fonts, which I'm not concerned about and the other is something about there is some artwork that needs flattening.
Please bear with me here cause I am definitely a newbie!! My boss threw to the wolves on this adventure and I am learning by reading and trial and error.
Thanks

I can't save illustrator CS3 in my Toshiba Satellite laptop P4(M) 1.7 GHz with memory 1.5GB under Window XP Service Park 2 (Home Addition) and alot of HD free space. When I save CS3, can't save illustrator CS3 error massage dialog box appear. Follow are I can read from that error massage window.
AppName: illustrator.exe
AppVer: 13.0.128.0

C:\DOCUME~1\HTAYWI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\4228_appcompat.txtMmh, yeah, sounds familiar but for the life of it I cannot reme,ber the solution. I believe it's documented in the knowledgebase on the support pages and hinges on some VersionCue stuff being wrong. Other than that I could only imagine Acrobat Quick Launcher or Windows own preview generating functions having a hold of the file, when you save it as PDF compatible...

Illus CS3 error CAN'T SAVE ILLUSTRATION after second save
Illustrator CS3 on XP, 4gigs of ram, and 2 drives with program on C and files on D. Working on a 400 meg map file with some transparency. After 2 or 3 edits to file and one (rarely two) successful saves, I start getting message "Can't save the illustration". I shut program down, restart and problem starts over after very few mainipulations to file. My IT reloaded program with a new user profile, and today I trashed my Aiprefs file as suggested in your FAQ forum. It's taking me all day to make very few edits to my map. The file contains some vecotr and raster data from ArcGIS and images from FreeHand 11 (pasted and placed).
Any suggestions?Can you please provide more exact detail, as this could be a number of things, and your post could be interpreted in a number of different ways as to exactly when the message is coming up. Also what version and platform are you using.
After you save once, the save command is greyed out and you should not be able to save again. If you have trouble saving try resetting your prefs, doing any dot update to your version, and temporartily removing any nonstandard plug ins. -
How can you save a file with CS4 so that it can be opened with CS3?
I fave a file that I have sent someone, but they can't open it because they don't have CS4. How can I save a file, using CS4, so that the file can be opened with CS3?

This just started Saturday. Has worked for a long time. I did not change anything as far as I can tell.
Win 7 x 64
Intel I5 with 6gigs of ram
I have a few drives that are mapped and I though this was the issue but when I am using Photoshop any time I click "Save As" and navigate to network drive, mapped or any shared folder on the network the Save button instantly gets greyed out. When I navigate back to any local hard drive the grey button turns back to normal (aka active).
I am at a loss as I can't find any information on the internet.
Strange that it has been working fine until 2 days ago.
The only option now is to save to local HD then manually move files to networked computer.
Any help would be appreciated.Can you save to a UNC name? E.g., \\SERVER\SHARE\Folder\File.ext
If so, this can possibly serve as a workaround.
Has your network admin changed any of the file, folder, or share permissions recently?
FYI, I just tried saving to a mapped network drive with Photoshop CS5 12.0.2... No problem.

I edit my RAW photos in Photoschop CS3, save as jpeg then import back into iPhoto 11. If I add text in Photoshop I can't save as jpeg but as psd. Is there any way I can change to jpeg in iPhoto?
Terence Devlin wrote:
Yes you can. But you need to flatten it as jpeg doesn't support layers.
While the final JPEG can't have layers, it is not necessary to flatten the original Photoshop file to create a JPEG. There are two ways to make a JPEG while not losing the flexibility of preserving layers, and they both flatten on the fly while saving.
I just tried this in Photoshop CS3 myself. When I add a text layer, and choose Save, the Save As dialog box comes up and defaults to PSD as was described. But... that is just the default! Go ahead and choose JPEG from the Format pop-up menu down below the file list. JPEG is in there. So what happens to the layers? Notice when you choose JPEG, the Layers box grays out and the "As A Copy" box grays out and is checked (i.e. you cannot uncheck it). What is going on here is Photoshop will gladly make a JPEG of your layered file, but it will force the JPEG to be a copy, so as to not overwrite the original layered file. This is good, because your Photoshop file with its editable text layer is preserved, and you get a JPEG copy to put in iPhoto.
The second way is, instead of doing Save or Save As, choose File/Save for Web and Devices. This will also give you a JPEG choice, and also create an exported copy. Because this way makes files for the Web, they will be smaller than JPEGs from Save As because they will lack built-in previews (which you don't really need these days) and other extra metadata that take up space.
Either way you get a JPEG you can toss back into iPhoto.

Only by exporting.
The Export menu in Photoshop CS3 does not have any direct choices for JPEG. -
Illustrator cc 2014 can't save files
Hi!
I Have a lot of problems with the Illustrator CC 2014. And it freaks me out. I have no idea how to reach Adobe. I've tried another Adobe forum but haven't heard anything.. I would appreciate some sort of help. Or if someone knows where to post the question?
1) First of all can't save files… I wish this could be the number one feature in a design app but apparently not..
I got "unknown error " and all work spent is gone forever. This happens a lot.
2) also lagging problems. when moving graphics and zooming in illustrator. it is SO stressful.
I have Two computers, with the same problems.
Imac 27 " mid 2011

If no brighter suggestion comes up, you may try the list, see below.
Did you install fully on both computers (after upgrading the OS if relevant)?
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. 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), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
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 you save Canon RAW files as TIFF in iPhoto 6?
I was just wondering...
Can you save imported Canon RAW (.cr2) files as TIFF files in iPhoto 6? I know you can view RAW files in iPhoto, but I need to edit them in Photoshop CS, which I don't think supports Canon RAW.
Thanks!
eMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9) Photoshop CS, not CS2 or CS3, etc...Robert:
Yes, you can export them to the desktop and select
tiff as the format to save as.
Have you tried opening the cr2 files with CS2? PSCS3
can open and edit them.
Do you
Twango?
I am stuck with Photoshop CS, and have not chosen to upgrade to CS2 or CS3 at this time. For now, I will use iPhoto to export RAW files as TIFF and open them in Photoshop. Thanks for your help! -
I have Photoshop Elements 6.0, I bought it last year and untill now, it´s OK. Now I´m beginning working with .RAW files, but I can´t save them as .JPG after I modified them with the "camera Raw" software. I can only save pictures in .DNG. ¿Could someone please tell me how to save it as .JPG?
I consider this is a basical function wich, for example, Photoshop CS3 does.
Bye.Thank you very much for your answers.
Daniel.

The Save button in the raw converter is the DNG converter. To save in any
standard image format, you must open the image in the editor, then save it
there.

Can not save because of a program error
I am using leopard. I just upgraded to CS2, This is the error message I am getting. Not every time just sometimes. Which is bad if I am working for a client and I have put so much work into something I can't save.
Doreen,
Be aware that CS2 does have issues running on Mac OS X 10.5.x that will not be "fixed" by Adobe. You should be running CS3 on that OS.
