Can't save illustrator documents

iMac 3.6 GHz Intel Core i5
OS X 10.9.4
Whenever I try and save a document just recently, I get this message
"Can't save the illustration. You do not have enough access privileges. ID: -5000"
HELP

Then you have an iMac Intel, not a PPC.    Now, since you haven't installed a security update, and you are sure you haven't the only reason the documents may not save is that the installation was not good.   Be sure first your data is backed up.  Try to run the installer for Office inside the Installer folder, and to be doubly certain, download the latest Office v.X patch.  If it still doesn't work, you may want to try an Office alternative such as NeoOffice, OpenOffice, Google Docs, or Zoho Writer.

  • Illustrator Can't Save Illustration

    I am using Illustrator 10 and I get a message that says "Can't save illustration" sometimes. This does not happen all the time. I can save the file as an EPS file when I can't save it as an illustrator file. Today I got another message after trying to click save when the can't save illustration message appeared. This message said that "You are saving this document in Adobe Illustrator 1.0/1.1 format. Saving this document in an older format may disable some editing features when the document is read back in. I was trying to save it in Illustrator 10 as an Illustrator 10 file. The only versions of Illustrator that have been on my computer are Illustrator 9,10 and CS. I did try uninstalling everything and just installing 10, but the problem still persists. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Diane

    Diane,
    The issue may have a number of causes:
    If it is corrupted preferences, you may may try to
    Move the folder. The strangeness of Illy versions may indicate something like that.
    It may also be something about fonts, in which case removing type should change it, or that the artwork extends outside the workspace.
    Can you save to PDF, keeping Illustrator editing capabilities?

  • Illustrator CS4 - "Can't save illustration." Error

    While working on a website mockup I ran into a rather worrisome error - "Can't save illustration."
    I can export as .png, .jpg but cannot "Save" or "Save As" regardless of the file type.
    The particular document/file contains 1 graphic made in Photoshop and a few downloaded vectors, but removing those particular items does not seem to help.
    I read that the error can be caused by fonts so I changed all fonts to Arial(standard system font), and even tried changing type to outlines.. again, nothing helped.
    I've also tried copy/pasting everything to a new document to no avail.
    All content is on single layer, if it matters.
    My system(osx 10.8.5) is running on little available memory, but even removing what I would assume to be the more taxing files doesn't help - the "Can't save illustration." error persists. Needless to say, I'm very worried.
    Any thoughts/ideas on how to remedy this problem?

    Tried printing to PostScript file (did not see specifically PDF printer), and received an error stating there was not enough memory, or object too complex. I tried reducing the object and artboard to 1/4 it's original size, problem persists.

  • Can't save illustration. Can't print illustration. HELP!!!

    About a month ago in CS4 I randomly got the message "Can't save illustration. Can't print illustration." I had no changes to software or hardware. After searching to no avail, we decided we would upgrade to CS5 (however CS4 is still on the computer). Now with a new install of CS5, using Illustrator CS5 I'm getting the same error message. Even when there are no fonts present in the file and it is only a basic square the error message still pops up and Illustrator will not save anything to an EPS file.
    The ONLY answer I've seen offered from Adobe on this problem is "outline the text", well that's not the problem because as I've said I've tried saving a file with just a simple path and it won't save to EPS.
    I really need to save a file as an EPS and send it out to a vendor asap. Does anyone at Adobe have an answer to this problem?!
    I'm using:
    CS5 Designer Premium
    Windows 2007 Professional, 64bit
    Quadro FX 2800M
    Dell Precision M6500
    Thank you,
    Jen

    I am having the same problem in Illustrator CS5. Saving as .ai without PDF editable doesn't correct the problem. In the file there is outlined text (no fonts) with a gradient added. It file originated as an Illustrator document. I have been able to export as TIFF, etc. I'm getting the same cannot-save-or-print message.
    There are no fonts in the file. When I tried to convert this RGB file to CMYK the listing for Convert To CMYK ( Edit/Edit Colors/Convert To CMYK) is grayed out. The 2 colors in the file originated as PMS but have been converted to process, CMYK in the Swatch Options dialog menu. I really need the file as an Illustrator-editable EPS other wise I can convert the TIFF to EPS in Photoshop.
    Anyone have any idea about what's going on here or below?
    Also,When I successfully save as a PDF the file looks fine reopened in Illustrator
    but when it is opened in Acrobat 9 Pro, the gradient is modified unacceptably:
    I betting that both problems are related.

  • I can't save *new* documents back to SharePoint

    I can’t save *new* documents back to SharePoint. We have a SharePoint 2013 development environment, running on Windows Server 2012 and a Windows 7 Client Computer with Office 2010.
    Every time I click „new document“, SharePoint opens the corresponding template file in the client application (Word, Excel,…) So far, so good. When i select „Save“, the client application brings up a local save path on the client computer, not the SharePoint
    document library.
    I did some research and tried many approaches, but none of them worked.
    I installed the Desktop Experience Feature on the Windows Server 2012, added the server address to trusted sites, gave the user farm-administrator rights (to make sure it is no security problem) and switched the authentication mode for the web application.
    Does anyone know this problem and found a solution?

    Hi,
    For troubleshooting your issue, you can try to add a registry value to your local registry (on a machine with Office Applications installed through which you are accessing SharePoint sites):
    Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
    Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
    On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Multi-String Value.
    Type AuthForwardServerList, and then press ENTER.
    On the Edit menu, click Modify.
    In the Value data box, type the URL of the server that hosts the Web share, and then click OK.
    Note You can also type a list of URLs in the Value data box. For more information, see the "Sample URL list" section in this article.
    Exit Registry Editor.

  • I CAN'T SAVE PDF DOCUMENTS

    Hi, After installing Adobe Reader 10.1.10 can't to do several actions. I saw that since version 9. I can't save PDF  documents provided by internet companies. The options that appears below, like  to save, print, + or -, are flashing all the time and can't do anything. If I click right button in the name of the document, the option save destiny like...is deshabilited too. What can I do? pls urgent. My operative system is Windows 7.

    Best to keep the replies in the other post, but I wanted to comment on something you said "I was told that Adobe X is a 32 bit program and that could be why it's running slow." Yes, it's a 32 bit program. No, it's complete nonsense to say that 32 bit programs run slow. There seems to be a general belief that 64 bit is better because, well, because, um, because it's a bigger number so it must be, right? Sorry, I'm not mocking you, but there is such nonsense about this, that I think software makers are having to put a lot of effort into making 64 bit software for no good reason at all.

    I made a dumb decision to 'Erase Free Space' on my drive. I now have no free space, I realize because it wrote 0's over all my free space. Is there a way to undo this??? Help please I can't save any documents now! Thanks in advance all, it is truly appreciated. how can find the hidden temporary files using the terminal what do i type in?

    It's more likely a failed Erase Free Space, which creates a huge temporary file; that's why it looks like you have no more available drive space. You can recover from this. See these links

  • I just had my old operating system reinstalled, and i can't save pages documents, don't know how to install word

    i just had my old operating system reinstalled after a breakdown, and now i can't save pages documents. i don't know how to install word.

    What was your old system?
    What is your new System?
    What version of Pages?
    How did you install it?
    I don't know if you can see what's on my screen, but I definitely can't see what's on yours.
    To Install Word, buy it and follow the instructions.

  • How to close a frozen warning: I am unable to close the "charicter boarders aren't supported and were removed" warning on my pages. Untill warning is closed I can not save my document. How can I get my document saved?

    I have an unsaved document open in pages but can not save it because the, "charicter boarders aren't supported and were removed" warning is open and I can not close the warning. How can i get the warning to close so I can save my document? Can I save the document without closing the warning?

    Probably not, but as you will have been unable to make any changes to the document with that warning window open, you're not going to lose anything by quitting (or force quitting) without saving. You'll still have the original document you were trying to import.
    I would suggest attempting to open the document in one of the open source Office applications, LibreOffice, Apache OpenOffice, or NeoOffice, each available for download from the linked sites. Once open there, remove the attributes that are causing the warning, save the file (as an MS Word document), then try opening that version in Pages.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Can't save illustration

    After I saved my file once, then I noticed the disclaimer of - can't save illustration in Adobe Illustrator when saving it again. What seems to be the problem about this?

    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.

    Illustrator keeps saying "Can't save illustration" and this assignment is due tomorrow - I'm worried

    I ended up on the phone with Adobe support last evening.  They told me due to the theft of subscriber / customer information from Adobe I needd  to reset my password and reboot my computer.  I ended up loosing the data in the clipboard however resetting my password and rebooting solved the problem.  Rebuilding my work always seems to go smoother the second time through so I finised my homework none the less.  As for equipment, I use a Sony Vaio SVS15127PXB iCore 7 Laptop and a Dell 23" Touchscreen Monitor.

  • I can not save my documents in Pages...

    I can not save my documents in Pages 09 4.0.5. "Save as" gives me the message "Can not save ´xxx´ Invalid agrument"
    The problem just occurred and does not seem to go away. What to do?

    It's very unlikely that the Pages program is corrupt. Corruption of the Pages preferences would be much more common & does not require reinstalling the program to fix. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences, delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist, empty the Trash & then restart Pages.
