CS5 Illustrator to CS4 Illustrator

I need to save a CS5 Illustrator file down to a CS4 Illustrator without loosing any data or flattening any work.  Is there a way?

CS5 Illustrator file down to a CS4 Illustrator without loosing any data
That's an oximoron in terms. You will always loose data in the strict sense. Per se, however, that does not mean you will loose any data that makes up the visible parts, but naturally things like Perspective Grids or 9-slice scaling will be reset or expanded as will gradient meshes with transparency for instance, 'cos naturalyl those features do not exist in Cs4. otehr than that it's as simple as doing a File --> Save As... in CS5 and picking the correct version to save down to.

    If you didn't have the opportunity to deactivate the installations then you should contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations for all the serial numbers involved.

    With CS5 you must have registered, hopefully under your present Adobe ID.
    I am afraid the chat and phone support are off until the beginning of January.

  • CS5 Illustrator images can no longer saved as a PDF

    My CS5 Illustrator images can no longer be saved as a PDF.
    Possible cause is because my .ai work got saved as CS6 version at school. Do I need to upgrade to CS6 in order to have my images saved as PDF?
    Thanks -- 3x expensive class, given probable need to upgrade.

    DC,
    Possible cause is because my .ai work got saved as CS6 version at school.
    On the same computer? If you still have the original CS5 document(s) on your computer, whatever happened at school should have no consequence in this connexion.
    If you saved the actual document(s) as CS6, you may have some issues, but that would include difficulty in opening with CS5; maybe you are only able to open as PDF.
    So its sounds as if the expected issue would be the opposite of what (I believe) you describe.
    Is it posible to clarify?

  • Recently my CS5 illustrator and Photoshop is not responding frequently. How to rectify?

    Recently my CS5 illustrator and Photoshop are not responding frequently. keep crashing. Any solution?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Mylenium,
    My imac processor 2.66GHZ intel core i5
    Memory 8G 1067MHz DDR3
    Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Lion)
    When I try to launch CS5 illustrator, sometime it is not responding. It also happen after I launched illustrator and I was just doing some basic design, change type and zoom in and out.
    If I opened both CS5 illustrator and photoshop, while I was working on illustrator and when it start not responding, photoshop also become not responding and vice versa.
    I hope this information is adequate for you and troubleshoot for me what's wrong with my mac.
    Thanks
    Mike

    My AI program (CS5 Illustrator 15.1.0) will not open some PDFs. It was working just yesterday, but now will only open a PDF if the graphics of the PDF is visible in the box that appears in the lower left corner of the dialog box after you click Open. The file size does not seem to matter. Any ideas?

    Hello Kathie,
    Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
    Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
    Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
    Let me know if this converts fine.
    Hope to hear from you.
    regards,

  • Issues with CS5 Illustrator .ai files

    I just recently purchased CS5 Illustrator. After creating the file as an .ai file, I am having an issue with reopening the file. I get an error. Any suggestions?

    Post in the general forum… Your question is at a very small audience here in the scripting forum… Thats all of us… not enough to throw a party…

  • CS5 Illustrator - trying to create bleeds for a pdf?

    Hello:
    I am in CS5 Illustrator and I am setting up a greeting card for press. In the same document I set up two pages for the front and back. Two panels for each page. I put 1/8" bleeds. How do you have the bleeds show up in the pdf? I know how to do it in InDesign but in Illustrator is it done differently. I can make trim marks but no bleeds show up, I even specified document bleeds in the pdf dialog box. Do you have to make the page bigger to compensate for the bleeds.
    Thanks in advance.

    File >> Document Setup
    Then when you make the pdf keep use Marks and Bleeds >> Bleeds >> Use Document Bleed Settings checked

  • Can anyone tell me if you can back save from CS6 to CS5 Illustrator, Indesign and Photoshop OK?

    Can anyone tell me if you can back save from CS6 to CS5 Illustrator, Indesign and Photoshop OK? Want to upgrade to CS6 but must I must still remain compatible with work. They are using CS5.

    To clarify your answer for Illustrator.  The option is not in the "Save As" dialog box.
    The correct answer is
    Open you CS6 Illustrator file.
    File>Save As 
    The Save As dialog box opens
    Type your file name (DIFFERENT THAN ORIGINAL PLEASE!) and the Save as Type is still going to be Adobe Illustrator (*.AI)   **This is where the above instructions threw me, as the Save as type drop down does not list anything about versions to save fo)
    Click Save
    Once you click Save, the Illustrator Options dialog box will come up.  The first option is titled Version and has a drop down menu.  Select the version of illustrator you want to save your file as here, then click ok.
    Your done.
    I strongly suggest you give this file a different name than your original CS6 Illustrator version as you may lose some parts of your design in the conversion.
    Hope this helps.  Enjoy!

  • Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5

    I recently upgraded from mac cs4 to cs5.5. Due to a bug? with cs5 ai illustrator 'Pixel Preview' won't show 1 bit tiff files as it did in cs4 (the workaround is time consuming/wasting). This is a problem for me as most of my files contain them, GGrrrr. Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?

    Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?
    Yes, either set the file type association in Bridge prefs for 'ai' at CS4. But it seems somewhat difficult when having newer versions, sometimes whatever pref settings in Bridge or Finder/get info/ open with/you try it keeps opening in the latest version.
    In that case either drag and drop the files on the CS4 icon in the dock or with right click mouse menu choose open with and select illustrator CS4.
    Although you can only have one version of Bridge open at the time you can have the other suite applications from different version open at the same time.

  • Using Dreamweaver CS5 with other CS4 programs

    I want to purchase Dreamweaver CS5 for my work computer because it is the same version I have on my personal computer, and I want the two to be compatible. However, there are other Adobe CS4 programs on my work computer (InDesign, Illustrator, etc.). Will any problems arise by having Dreamweaver CS5 and other CS4 programs on the same computer? Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Are you intending to purchase a standalone version of Dreamweaver CS5?
    Your work computer has probably got a CS4 Creative Suite installed (Design Premium CS4?).
    You won't be able to upgrade Dreamweaver CS4 (from the Suite) on your work computer to standalone Dreamweaver CS5. It's not a valid upgrade path.
    Tip: CS6 is due to be released very soon.
    http://store.adobe.com/store/en_us/popup/offer/cs55_cs6_faqchannel.html
    Although free upgrades from CS5 (purchased after 26 March 2012) are available, there is some paperwork involved. In your position, I personally prefer to wait until CS6 ships - unless CS5 is really the version you want, of course.

  • CS5 project to CS4

    Are we able to continue editing project created with CS5 in Premiere CS4?
    Thanks.

    Photoshop and Illustrator have had similar over the years. Now, a PrPro Project is far more involved than a simple PSD, or AI image file, so much more would have to be done to make that happen.
    Historically Pr/PrPro has never had backward compatibility.
    Maybe file a Feature Request.
    Good luck,
