Does Illustrator CS/CS2 plugin works in CS5?

I've an old Illustrator plugin which was created for illustrator CS (or CS2 can't remember). Just wondering would it work in Illustrator CS5?
If it will work, would there be any major/minor compatabiltiy problems?

Depends on the plug in, and you will have to run Illustrator in 32-bit mode for a 32-bit plug in to work. You can download a free trial of Illustrator and and test it out.
What plug in is it? Maybe one of us can answer this question for you.

How does Illustrator allign and distribute work

Hi
I am trying to understand what is happening behind the align and distribute functions in Illustrator.
I am working on a PC with Illustrator CS5
I have taken a photograph of a stone wall in to Photoshop:
Converted it to grey scale
Reduced it with levels to black and white
Then selected the black and converted the selection to paths.
Exported the path as an illustrator
Imported it to Illustrator ( I know I could trace it in illustrator but I prefer t work this way round).
All objects are un grouped and on one layer in Illustrator.
Select all objects
Open the Align pallet
Set Align To Artboard
Apply distribute Horizontal Center
Apply Distribute Vertical Center
The objects are distributed across the Artboard
Select all objects
Horizontal Align Center
Vertical Align Center
Apply distribute Horizontal Center
Apply Distribute Vertical Center
The arrangement is different
Do the same exercise with 15 circles of the same size and a similar redistribution happens.
What is determining or influencing the re ordering?
it does not seem to be size or the layer order.

Thanks to everyone who has replied to my question.
Some interesting information and comments.
I am still unsure as to what logic Illustrator is using. I can understand that layer or other orders might effect the order. I started thinking about creation order and if this is different to layer order. So I exported my dots test file as .svg so I could look at this. I then re imported it at the distribution was more predictable. If I align to bottom, left then distribute h and v I got a diagonal line of dots. This is what I would have expected to get. I still need to test this out more.
before svg
after svg conversion
My main problem is that if I am going to use the distribute I need to know and understand what it is doing.

Does macromedia FLV export plugin work with macpro (intel macs)?

i have a macpro, flash professional and quicktime pro. flash professional comes with a FLV quicktime plugin that lets you export to FLV from quicktime. the plugin is installed and is in the quicktime plugin folder but the export option does not appear in the export drop down.
i have the same set up on a PPC mac and i have no problems with exporting FLVs from quicktime pro.
i have the feeling that the plugin doesn't work on intel macs but don't know for sure. is there anyone here who is running an intel mac, quicktime pro and flash professional that can export to FLV from quicktime?
i can't find any information anywhere on this.
thanks

anyone? there's got to be a few of you who have macpro's that are using quicktime pro and flash 8 professional....
any help would be appreciated.

Does the Adobe Reader plugin work with Android browsers?

I have a Galaxy Tab and I'm trying to access an eBook in Chrome, but it opens each page as a separate file using one of my reader apps. It works on my desktop in Chrome, and I checked the plugins and it's using Adobe Reader. Does the mobile version of Chrome not support the Adobe Reader plugin? Does any mobile browser support the Adobe Reader plugin?

Hi,
When you open a PDF in chrome, you get option to open the file in other applications. If Adobe Reader is installed on your phone, you would also see an option to open the file in Adobe Reader. Can you please try that.
Thanks,

Want to open Kodak Photo CD files (.PCD) in Photoshop CS5. In CS4 i copied file "Photo CD.8BI" from an older version into the File Format folder. This does not work with CS5. Any fix?

I have several old Kodak Photo CD with PCD image files. I am now using Photoshop CS5. Some years ago while using Photoshop CS4 I copied a file: "Photo CD.8BI" from an older, CS2, version to the Plug-ins/File Format folder of CS4. This does not appear to work with CS5. Any fix?

It can be made to work, but you have to run the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5, and as I recall there's an additional DLL called pcdlib32.dll that's needed from the old installation.

Does Illustrator CS5 support LAB colors

Hi,
Newbie question.
Does Illustrator CS5 allow colors to be speficied using their LAB values? I have CS4 and know that it doesn't.
If CS5 does, and if I have my RBG and/or CMYK "Working Spaces" set up correctly in "Color Settings", can I expect the LAB values to be converted correctly when I output my illustration to screen or page?
Also, out of curiousity - are there any other major software programs commonly used by designers, photographers and graphic artists that don't allow you to enter colors by their LAB values? Any that don't allow you to edit your "Color Settings" or RBG and CMYK "Working Spaces"?

Illustrator allows lab values, you have to define this as a spot color first.
You can specify spot colors in lab, but you cannot make seperations in LAB, as they will be spot.

Compatibility problem - CS5.5 plugin doesn't work with CS5.5

Hi,
I have a problem with our CS5.5 plugin, it works without problems one my machine but the customer gets the errormessage "Adobe InDesign does not recognize JOURNALDESIGNERPLUGIN.PLN as valid plug-in. Please reinstall...."
I know this message from accidentaly putting a CS5 plugin in the CS5.5 folder - but this is a CS5.5 plugin. I tried exactly the same plugin file the customer used in my InDesign and it works here. We both use version 7.5.3 on Windows.
And ideas where the problem is?
Thanks
Klaus

Hello World plugin works in 32-bit, does not work in 64-bit

I created a simple "Hello World" plugin by following the instructions in Adobe's guide: Getting Started with Adobe Illustrator CC Development, which is available as a pdf here.
The plugin works in the 32-bit version of Illustrator CS6, but I get an error message while trying to launch the 64-bit version. "Error loading plugins. HelloWorld.aip"
How can I fix this error?

You need to build 64 bit version of plugin. Change the configuration to x64 in your visual studio (I am assuming windows) and build. It should work fine.

Is it possible to get a Plugin to work on CS5

For a number of years I used the superb Plug-in from Adobe Exchanage ..
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1044520
It installs 'Kedaffie’s filters' .. with sub filter "Bring back the reds"
Now upgraded PC to W7 (32 bit) and Photoshop CS5 extended, now when I try to use this on CS5 it crashes the app. On Adobe support pages it does say that many early plug-ins will not work with CS5.
Does anybody know how to get this to work under CS5 or is knowledgeable enough to upgrade the plug-in so it will work ?
Alternatively anybody know how to contact Eduard Winter the author.

appreciate that ... was hoping someone would have contact details of people who have accounts ... and someone while not passing on his contact details, would at least fwd a request or notification to him.
An alternative .. is there any group of gurus I could go to who author Plug-ins and maybe I could request someone to look at teh existing Plug-in and do whatever is necessary so it would work on CS5 ..... it was such a damn good feature.

This is an message when I open up CS4 in Illustrator. "Some plugins in additional plugins folder are conflicting with application or user plugins. It will skip loading plugins from additional plug-ins folder? What does this mean and how can I fix it.

Thanks Larry. I thought so. I will do this weekend. Again, I appreciate your help.
Trying to get updated software – I am not a fan of the cloud stuff. Nothing I can do about it.
Thanks again Larry!

Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

Why does Illustrator CS5.5 crash when opening 1.5GB sized vector layered files on my iMac OS X?

1.5GB for a vector file is very large. If you can ever open this file would recomend file >> save as >> turn off PDF compatibility.
Can you please tell us why your file is so large, you may have a problem such as deleted global swatches, or an exceptionally large number of items in your symbols, styles, brushes palette. For even the most complex illustration filling the entire 227.54" artboard, you should be under 20mb if you have no embedded or linked images.

Javafx Production Suite - does Adobe Photoshop plugin work for CS4 Extended

If not, does anyone have a link to download CS3? so I can try on installing javafx plugin CS3

do you use 32b or 64b version of CS4

I am working through a tutorial based on Illustrator CS6, but I am using CS5. The tutorial requests that I open "Image Trace" but I don't see this function on CS5... please could you advise what the equivalent tool would be? Thank you!

I think in CS5, it was called "Live-Trace." Whatever it's called, it should become available on the options panel (the context-sensitive control panel at the top) when you select a trace-eligible raster image on your artboard.

Upgrade CS3 custom plugins to work with CS5

Hello everyone,
I have several InDesign plugins developed with CS3 SDK, and now we'd want to make them work with CS5.
As the first step, I'd want to get some general idea regarding how large the scope of effort it would require.
So I'm wondering if anyone knows whether we have any tools help with such upgrades. Or if anyone could help pointing me at some instructions that would be great.
Thanks a ton!

Hi Jeff,
You could look into the programming guide for a complete reference into what all are the changes you need to make into your plugin for porting into CS5.
But i will mention some main points that hopefully will get you started.
1. You need to seperate your plugin into two plugins that i.e. model and UI plugins. For that what i suggest is consider placing things like persistent interfaces and commands, maybe selection suites and the same into the model plugin and the rest into UI plugin.
2. You could start by not linking against the WidgetBin.lib on the Windows proj and not using the "IndesignModelUI.framework" in the MAC project. The files giving compilation error would be a potential target to move to the UI plugin.
3. Next is when you have decided what all things are to be present in the model plugin, then use the CS5 SDK to compile this project, you will probably get some compilation errors which you can fix with the help of the Indesign SDK help.
4. Once the model plugin is compiled you can place all the other files and features from the original plugin not included in the model plugin into a new plugin(UI). This project will link against the WidgetBin.lib on the Windows proj and the "IndesignModelUI.framework" in the MAC project.
5. Once the UI plugin is ready and then you have made the appropriate API changes, you still might have some linking and compilation errors because of the code moved into the model plugin. For this you need to make a facade generally used for communication btw the model and UI plugin. Place all the functions of the model plugin that the UI plugin uses in the facade and replace the call of these function appropriately in the UI plugin.
6. Lastly you will have to make some changes in the project settings as well for CS5 to copy the resource files with the plugin as well, please refer CS5 porting guide.
If you follow these steps, you would be able to load your CS3 plugin into CS5. And basically the effort in terms of porting the plugin mainly depends upon the quality of code to be ported. If the original code is written with good insight and using good practices of design patterns, porting is not a very time consuming task.
Hope this helps.
