[CS4] Default new document profile

If I create a New Document Profile, how do I make it the default? I did it in
CS3 but can't remember how.

Now here's a strange thing. I installed AI 14 on my laptop and set up a new
Document Profile exactly as I had done on the G5. On the G5 when I request a
new document it defaults to "Custom" albeit with the settings I had
specified. On the laptop it defaults to my named New Document Profile. So why
is the Profile name not displaying on the G5? Mystery. In a minute someone's
going to advise me to trash the preferences!

By default new document/templates start with above, How I change to be Strict 1.0 XHTML ?

by default new document/templates start with above, How I change to be Strict 1.0 XHTML ?
Tell me for Dw MX2004 & CS4 ?
If I start with Transitional 1.0 XHTML and want to change to Strict 1.0 XHTML the only way is modify code or make a new doc ?

Using CS4, there are a few ways to do it:
1. when creating a new document - you can select the doc type preference.
2. In your preferences, you can set up which document type will be opened when you select a new document.
3. If you start with one doctype and want to convert it to another use:

Creating a New Document Profile CS5

I have created a New Document Profile that I want to use as a base when starting Ilustrator work. I cleared pallettes colors, brushes, symbols etc and created 3 new common layers etc. When I select my file from the New Document Profiles pull down menu the Layers pallette opens with only a blank Layer1 .The work on my custom Layers that I would like as masters is gone.

Where did you save the new file?
Looks like you're right. Seems only way is to Save the file as a Template file and use New from template from the file menu.

How can I change the format of the default new document?

Hi, I've recently upgraded to Pages 5.1 and am wondering how I can change the formatting of the default 'new document' template. Any suggestions would be most welcome,

How do I set up new Document Profile with custom page sizes?

I see that different profiles have different sets of page sizes. I need a set of page sizes which I use often, and I would like to create a set of these sizes in a new profile, or at least somehow add them to the very minimal set of page sizes which can be selected when setting up a new document. Can this be done?

Thanks Jerron, I have done this but it only adds one document at one size to the list of presets. The list of sizes that comes with it is the same as the preset it was created from originally. What I would like to do is add to the list of sizes which comes with any one of the document presets or create a new one with a new list of sizes.

Trying to save default new document window location.

When you open up a new document (not from a template) it opens up (at least on my computer) in the upper left corner of the screen.
I would -- like -- it to open when I want it to open (bottom middle and smaller window).
What I do in other programs is open up the new document, position and size the window, then save it as a new template and set that template as the default document when opening a new document.
It isn't saving the window position. Any ideas?

After all the complaining many of us did about Pages 1 & 2 tiling new documents, they now open in the upper left if there are no other documents open. I agree, that when you set up a template, you expect new documents from it to open exactly as you saved the template. You need to leave feedback for the Pages team as ask for this. I ask not only for window position, but also window size. Every template of mine open to just one page even though most of mine are more than one page.

CS4 When I open new document I get a swatch pallet full of colors.

CS4 When I open new document I get a swatch pallet full of colors. Is there a way to open a new document with no colors in the swatch pallet?
Thanks

Search for New Document Profiles. Open each file that you regularly use and from the Action panel run the default action Delete Unused Panel Items. Save the file. You should now have empty swatch panels.

Illustrator CS4 opens but won't create a new document

Hi,
I've got an Illustrator CS4 problem. I can launch Illustrator CS4 and it launches quite happily. However, when i create a new document nothing happens. When I open a document nothing happens. I'm a local admin on my PC. It's running Windows XP SP3. I've re-installed Illustrator to see if that fixed the problem but it didn't. I have Photosop CS4 on and it opens documents etc without a problem.
Cheers
Steven

If you cannot create new docs, it doesn't see its templates, most likely. For whatever reason they are either really not there or simpyl blocked by the operating system due to permission issues. At least one of them must exist or else the dialog won't open up. Check the program directory (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4\Support Files\Required\New Document Profiles) and your user home directory. Other than that it could of course always be more generic graphics card problems...

Delete default document profiles

Im trying to delete unsued document profiles, but after deleting they are recreated every time i start Illustrator. Any ideas how can i delete them permanently ?

There are two sets of New Document Profiles. One is in HD/Applications/Adobe Illustrator CSX/ (right click on the application and choose Show Package Contents) /Required/en_US/New Document Profiles. The other is in HD/Users/<yourname>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS5/en_US/New Document Profiles. The Users/<yourname>/Library file is a hidden file on OS10.7.x and 10.8.x

Changing the CS3 AI default startup document in Mountain Lion??

Everything you read says that to change the default AI (CS3) startup document you use this path:
Users > (User Name) > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator CS3 > New Document Profiles > *.ai
The problem is, under Mountain Lion that path doesn't exist. When I go to my user name, there is no "Library" folder at all. Under "Shared" there is an AI Library folder, but it has nothing of any value in it.
My AI startup document (that I've been using for ages) is found here:
HD > Applications > Adobe Illustrator CS3 > Plug-ins > filename.ai
However, if I navigate there and make changes, then quit Illustrator and re-launch it, nothing happens. I'm using the same old defaults as before.
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing here? I know I need to upgrade to a later version of CS, but the prices have become so outrageous there's no way I can justify it as long as AI and PS are working. You need a mortgage to buy new Adobe products these days.
Tks
Butch

The location of startup files has changed in version CS3.
The lirbary folder is hidden in Mac OS Lion and above, you can access it like this: http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/22/access-user-library-folder-in-os-x-lion/

Default New File Type In Files Panel

Hello...in DW CS5, when I right click on a directory in my local root folder and select New File, the default extension for the new file is php. The default new document type in the Preferences dialog box is html. Doesn't the Preferences dialog box new document type define the default extension when I right click to create a new file in the Files Panel? Thanks for any help.

Randy,
I set the server model to "None" as you suggested and the default extension when I right click to create a new file in the Files Panel matches up with the default in the Preferences diaolg box.
Thanks for the help!

My Open 'New Document' function is not working properly on Illustrator CS5

When I open a 'New Document' a message pops up saying 'Print.ai' is not working, I wanted to open a custom 'New Document Profile' not print. The custom option is grayed out and I cannot select it. What do I do?

If you can create a new document by any means, then set up the document the way you want the preset to be, and save the file here:
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS5/en_US/New Document Profiles
You might need to delete/replace the faulty Print.ai file.

Customised new document?

Is it possible to alter the basic 'New Document' settings so that every time I create a new document it retains my personal settings, i.e colours/page size etc, templates are not the answer as I simply want to hit 'new' and start working.?
In effect I suppose I want to create a template and then make that the default 'new document'

Yes.
First, any colors and styles you create with no documents open will exist in every new document. Second, within the New Document dialog, you can adjust page size, bleed, slug, margins and columns. From there, you can save a preset, and it all settings will be there every time you want a new document. (I'm pretty sure that your choice in that dialog is sticky, so if you choose a preset, it will be the only selected by default the next time you need a new document.)
EDIT: the above mention of document presets is from InDesign, and is not available in Illustrator. But the colors and styles with no document open will work.
