File Recovery System in Adobe illustrator

I have some problem with my UPS i am using. In the middle of the work if the electricity goes off then i lost all of my design work. And also while using my navigator tools sometimes my illustrator stops working. So i think illustrator should add more care about the file recovery system like Microsoft word document

Windows 8 backup (Win7 File Recovery system image) creation to NAS device fails with error 0x807800C5

Hi,
I have a ZyXEL NSA310 NAS device on my network that I use for backups (as well as a media server). I have been very happy with it as, amongst other things, it has a gigabit Ethernet connection. I recently upgraded my home laptop from Win7 Pro to Win8
Pro. Under Win7 the NAS device worked perfectly as the backup target. I could back up file sets and - most importantly to me - create a system image on the device should I need to restore the system in the event of a full disk failure.
When I upgraded to Win8 it kept the Win7 settings and it looked like it was just going to work, then as it came to create the system image it failed with error code 0x807800C5 and message "The version does not support this version of the file format".
I have searched the internet and seen that others have had similar issues on Win7 and Win8 with NAS devices where they have had to hack the device to get it working - though it isn't clear that this has been successful for everyone. This isn't an option
for me as the NSA310 is a closed device and in any event I don't see why I should have to hack the device when clearly this is a Win8 issue (since Win7 worked perfectly).
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this issue so that I can create the full backups I require?
Thanks,
Phil

Thanks willis! I will look into the iSCSI route. A quick Google search and I can see some mention of the NSA310 and iSCSI so maybe it does support it.
One question: Have you ever attempted to restore a system image from a NAS iSCSI device with a Win8 Restore Disk? Is it easy? I just want to be sure that it is possible to do so in case the worst happens and I need to restore the entire image onto a
new disk.
Hopefully Microsoft will fix the issue with the standard NAS setup with an update in the future, but I don't want to wait for it.
Thanks again,
Phil
Hi Phil, No I have not had to do this yet, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work as the iSCSI disk looks just like a regular hard disk to the OS. I agree that Microsoft should fix the direct NAS support as the iSCSI approach does have the downside
of dedicating a fixed chunk of your NAS drive to the iSCSI disk that you have to choose when you create the disk whereas the direct NAS just uses the actual space currently needed by the backup. Also I had some trouble getting authentication (access rights)
to work so I left the iSCSI portal as open access - which is OK for a home solution but not a good idea in general. I will revisit this for my own setup and see if I can get it working but just wanted to mention it in case you have the same issue. It manifests
itself as not being able to connect to the iSCSI portal due to failed authentication when running iSCSI initiator setup.

How to customize or create new file menu items in Adobe Illustrator CS 6?

Hi all,
I have developed a script to perform some Custom action in Illustrator. I want to make this script run from a a File Menu Item so it can be invoked easily. Is there a way to customize Illustarator to add a new menu item or modify the existing menu tems functions. For example if the script needs to be invoked when the user click "Save" is there a way that could be done.
Thanks

Thanks Mark,
When you mean by limited menu location does it mean a plugin could be added under "File" as options or AI only allows it under "Window" where you launch the plugins from normally.

Can i create program, using Adobe Illustrator SDK, which would understand *.ai file format (cs versi

I need to write converter from cs ai files to my own format.
Can i use Adobe Illustrator SDK for creating such a program?
Is there in SDK libraries, which would be used for reading by program cs ai file format?
Must Adobe Illustrator be installed for such a program would work?

Well, if Idraw can do it you would need to figure out which format it likes (probably tiff would be my guess), save in that format and open the image there and proceed with however it works. The only useful advice I can offer is that jpg is a poor choice for any image that includes text. It will be fuzzy.

Not all export options are showing in Adobe Illustrator Draw app!?

I downloaded the Adobe Illustrator Draw App. Did a test run on the features. Meaning i just doodled. Then i went to export However only two choices show. A copy of image to Creative Cloud and one other. There is no way to put actual file with layers so i can open it in illustrator on desktop.
i deleted the app and re- downloaded the app. But still only 2 options show, which do not help.
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know!!!
Also, if can, please ket me know if this app is only for CC files on desktop?
i have CS6 programs on desktop not CC.
Thank you,
Joleen

Hi dkendall-ks,
The "Send to Illustrator" functionality sends the file to your CC Adobe Illustrator desktop (Mac or Windows) application. For this functionality to work you need to :
1. Have the latest CC Adobe Illustrator 18.1.0
2. Be signed in with the Creative Cloud desktop app with the same account you are signed in your iOS Adobe Illustrator Draw app.
Once you have completed the steps above, the artwork you send from Adobe Illustrator Draw will be opened in your desktop CC Adobe Illustrator app as vector objects (except for images that you had imported).
Hope this helps,
Jose

Adobe Illustrator Export to JPEG (*.JPG) vs ICC Color Profiles vs Behance

Hi,
I work with Adobe Illustrator CC 2014. When I export my projects into *.JPG format (using both: 'Adobe Illustrator > File > Export' and 'Adobe Illustrator > File > Save for Web') I use ‘Embed ICC’ profile option. Every common image viewer I use (including web browsers and Adobe Bridge) respects those color settings and displays exactly what has been embedded. But when posting on Behance, my color settings are converted into something else! The only solution is to place my Adobe Illustrator file into a new Adobe Photoshop document , then export it into .JPG (with embedded color settings) and then post it to Behance. With this workaround my colors look pretty correct.
Did someone experience the same and could explain why Behance doesn’t respect the Adobe Illustrator export with embedded ICC profile settings?
one thing more – even if my *.JPG produced with Adobe Photoshop (the correct one) is displayed correctly, the cover photo (taken from the original) is still converted into different (Behance’s default??) color space. I believe this shouldn’t work this way. Is there any workaround to this? Is there any way my covers (miniatures) display the 'true' colors?
Please advise
Best Regards,
Pawel Kuc

ok. I give up. It seems that Adobe Illustrator can export only to the JPEG File Interchange Format (JFIF) and Behence doesn’t fully support this format (for example it cannot read its icc color data correctly):
(JPEG) Formally, the EXIF and JFIF standards are incompatible. This is because both specify that their particular application segment (APP0 for JFIF, APP1 for Exif) must be the first in the image file. In practice, many programs and digital cameras produce files with both application segments included. This will not affect the image decoding for most decoders, but poorly designed JFIF or Exif parsers may not recognize the file properly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG_File_Interchange_Format#Exif_comparison)
I’ve analyzed my files using JPEGsnoop 1.6.1 (really cool app by Calvin Hass, http://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/) and here is what I’ve found:
A) *.jpg produced with Adobe Illustrator > File > Export > JPEG > ICC profile embedded:
*** Marker: SOI (xFFD8) ***

B) *.jpg produced with Adobe Illustrator > File > Save For Web > JPEG > ICC profile embedded:
*** Marker: SOI (xFFD8) ***

*** Marker: APP0 (xFFE0) ***
OFFSET: 0x00000002
length     = 16
identifier = [JFIF]
version    = [1.2]
density    = 100 x 100 (aspect ratio)
thumbnail = 0 x 0
C) *.jpg produced with Adobe Photoshop > File > Save As > JPEG > ICC Profile embedded
*** Marker: SOI (xFFD8) ***
OFFSET: 0x00000000
*** Marker: APP1 (xFFE1) ***
OFFSET: 0x00000002
length          = 1320
Identifier      = [Exif]
Identifier TIFF = 0x[4D4D002A 00000008]
Endian          = Motorola (big)
TAG Mark x002A = 0x002A
EXIF IFD0 @ Absolute 0x00000014
Dir Length = 0x0007
[Orientation ] = Row 0: top, Col 0: left
[XResolution ] = 720000/10000
[YResolution ] = 720000/10000
[ResolutionUnit ] = Inch
[Software ] = "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 (Windows)"
[DateTime ] = "2014:08:02 17:21:15"
[ExifOffset ] = @ 0x00A8
Offset to Next IFD = 0x000000D4
EXIF IFD1 @ Absolute 0x000000E0
Dir Length = 0x0006
[Compression ] = JPEG
[XResolution ] = 72/1
[YResolution ] = 72/1
[ResolutionUnit ] = Inch
[JpegIFOffset ] = @ +0x0132 = @ 0x013E
[JpegIFByteCount ] = 1006
Offset to Next IFD = 0x00000000
EXIF SubIFD @ Absolute 0x000000B4
Dir Length = 0x0003
[ColorSpace ] = sRGB
[ExifImageWidth ] = 200
[ExifImageHeight ] = 200
So unfortunately the only option to produce the EXIF JPEG from an Adobe Illustrator project is to: Export *.ai file to JPEG (under Adobe Illustrator) > go to Photoshop > Create new project > Paste the *.jpg > and Sava As JPEG with icc embedded.

Third Party File Recovery

I was currently working on a video project, using FCP with a few friends. When I woke up the next morning the project file was in the trash. I removed the project file from the trash and put it back on the computers HD and an external that I am using for the video project.
When I open up FCP to start working on the project a bunch of the video files were not connected anymore. Not sure how this happen, I cant find the files anywhere!! I have heard about third party file recovery systems that allow you to get back files that were deleted. Can anyone shine some light on this topic for me.. I need the media that is missing badly.
Thank you

Hi Eric, Hmmnnn, If you never deleted them then they should be there someplace. Try the Spotlight and / or *Cmd f* is all I can think of.

.ai Files will not open when Illustrator CS5.5 is already launched

Greetings,
I have a user using Windows 7 Pro 64-bit having issues with Adobe Illustrator CS5.5. When the user attempts to open .ai
files stored on her local machine, the files will not open if Illustrator is launched. It will show an hour glass briefly as it is
about to open, and then nothing happens. If she closes Illustrator and tries to reopen the same file, it will launch Adobe
Illustrator and the file will open. She can also open files through illustrator. It just wont open .ai files when illustrator is
already launched. This is happening when she is running illustrator as an adminitrator, and as well as when she is not an adminitrator. Any ideas?

Any specific security tools running? Team/ workflow management software? Virtual desktops? License managers? Sometimes this stuff simply blocks local ports or wants files to be opened from within once certain things are running... Otehr than that this could be something with group policies or mundane user privileges issues with different contexts, i.e. your AI also has permissions for a specific server-side user/ policy, which the local user otehrwise doesn't have and then it's not allowed to open files into that secured loop...

Clipboard Management in Adobe Illustrator Draw

How do I erase items from the clipboard in the Adobe Illustrator Draw app?
While learning the app functions I created a couple of junk images on the clipboard and it appears there is now no way to erase them. I tap the scissors icon and nothing happens. I find I can delete images from the favorites file in the clipboard, but this doesn't permanently delete the file. I have searched for the clipboard files in my Creative Cloud, but I can find no access to the clipboard.
While I am new to using Adobe Illustrator Draw, it seems there should be some intuitive process to manage the clipboard feature.
Can anyone help me with understanding how to delete images from the clipboard. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Roger

Macbook Air 11" i7 corrupt files problem with Adobe Illustrator CS4

Hi
this problem may not be entirely related but maybe someone could help anyways or knows how I can proceed...
I'm running Illustrator CS4 on a Macbook Air 11" (latest 2011 model, with i7, 4GB, 128SSD), and lately some files are getting corrupted. specifically, adobe illusrator CS4 files with weeks of work. interestingly, the time machine backups are also getting corrupted.
its like I'm working on a file for a few days, backing up with time machine as well
closes the file, after a few days returns to it… (normal behavior)
then when i try to get back to the file then sometimes it says "Cant open the illustration, could not complete the operation" and opens a blank canvas.
restoring the file via time machine also gives the same error (its like all versions get corrupted simultaneously), even 4-5 versions backwards, even though they worked before when the file worked
it happened quite a few times, ruining weeks of work.
I tried the following:
reinstalling CS4 - didn't work
Opening the files on CS5 - still don't open
doing the file recovery thing and then opening it in a notepad - didn't work at all
using Time machine - the files are still corrupt
it only happenes with AI files, not photoshop files, for example.
I thought maybe it has anything to do with SSD? since my previous macbook pro (15", 2007) never did these errors…
please help
Eido

If at all, this would be I/O performance and bandwidth issues with Time Machine, but I don't think that's the problem. More to the point I think that it's a case of Preview opening the files to genereate thumbnails and icons and something going wrong there. I'd look up some guides on how to edit the relevant plist and conf files to exclude your AIs or turn off the behavior to generate these previews globally. This may help hugely...

I am trying to update Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 So my files are compatible.

I am trying to update Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 So my files are compatible.
I get an error message when I try to update saying:
Updates could not be applied. The error log file may help you in identifying the problem. Then, try updating again. If the problem persist, contact customer support for further assistance.
Error Log: Premiere Elements 9.0.1 Updater There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U43M1D207
What do I do with information? I tried updating several times. None of my Adobe products will update.

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. And I fail to see what compatibility issues you are trying to fix. Illustrator allows to save to a variety of formats, including older versions of its own AI files...

My Adobe Illustrator is CS6 and it corrupts the file if I save it using accents

My Adobe Illustrator is CS6 and it corrupts the file if I save it using accents. How do I fix this?
I mean, if I save a file called "crachá" I'm using an accent on "a" so it showed as "á" but if I do this Illustrator says the following error:
"The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different foulder"
and when I try to open it says:
"The file "Crachá.ai" is in an unknown format and cannot be opened."
So, my solution is to create a new file and call it "Cracha", without the accent. But it never happened before. How can I fix this legitimately?
Thanks.

As for the resolution problem: upsampling an image doesn't improve its quality, because there's simply not enough information there.
As for the warning you get: it's most likely caused by RGB color mode or by placed RGB content that interacts with other content in the file (e.g. because you applied transparency)
In English it's this one:
As far as I see it there's no alternative to learning the basics of printing, color management and transparency. This is nothing that can be done by some forum posts.
Printing:
http://rufus.deuchler.net/2011/06/adobe-publishes-a-new-creative-suite-555-printing-guide. html
You need to understand what's happening on conversion of RGB to CMYK color space, which will happen when printing to offset presses. When you print on office printers, something else happens and all kinds of color may come out, because these machines sometimes do their own color correction and everything depends on how you set up the machine.
Provided you check the PDF in Acrobat: you need to set up color management there as well. This might lead to the differences (greenish) you're seeing.
Find a good book on color management and read the manual:
Creative Suite * Understanding color management (there's more about the subject)
As for transparency:
http://partners.adobe.com/public/asn/en/print_resource_center/Transparency-DesignGuide.pdf
http://partners.adobe.com/public/asn/en/print_resource_center/TXPGuide.pdf
Before sending files to a print service provider you need to get information on how they need the file. Most providers won't accept PDFs generated with "No color conversion". Or they won't guarantee for the output.
What you see on your monitor won't necessarily match the printed result unless your system is correctly calibrated and color management set up. And even then there might be differences.
Can't you contact this former colleague, pay him an amount of money and let him teach you the tools of the trade?

Adobe illustrator window gets minimized when saving custom file type.

I had created a new file type . When I try to save a document in the newly created file type the Adobe illustrator window gets minimized (restored).

I tried ringing Adobe and after creating a new user account on my system and logging into that, I was then able to use illustrator. This is okay but not ideal as I don't want to have to switch between accounts each time I want to access my files. Any ideas on how to solve this? I have tried uninstalling and deleting preference files again but still the same problem...?

Adobe Illustrator CS6 (Windows 7 64 Pro) File Save Anomaly - video link included - HELP?!

When I save a Illustrator file, all my toolbars blink, flash, and turn 'black'.... and the files take an unusual amount of time to save. I have inlcuded a video link so you can see exactly what it is doing...
Wondering what is causing this, and how I can fix it.
The file shown in the link is 64 mb.... and has about 4-5 Photoshop placed images.
I have Extensis Suitcase Fusion 4 installed.... someone said that might be an issue???
I believe all my system fonts are intact..... at least Fusion shows them as 'protected from deletion.'
Illustrator crashed a lot too and I have no choice but to 'Close the Program.'
Any ideas?
System has a Intel i7 920 processor, 12 gb ram, dedicated GeForce GTX 660 video card, and speedy hard drives..... what the heck is causing the chaos?
Thanks.
Here's the link.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENpTpn6so5E
PLEASE SELECT 'HD' IN THE YOUTUBE VIDEO OF MY ILLUSTRATOR PROBLEM.....

Todd,
I believe the message,
This file has been moderated outside Illustrator. Do you wish to continue?
may hold the key.
This old but time extended thread has a discussion about possible reason without any conclusion, but font management (including Suitcase) and working on a network both seem to be ruled out:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1272708
Does it also occur when all other applications (including browsers) are closed, so nothing can interfere or disturb and confuse Illy?
I believe the toolbar strangenesses may simply be owing to the effect of Illy struggling to save with heavy use of RAM.
I wonder whether one of our forum staff friends may contribute an explanation, and maybe even a cure (when they return (it is Saturday afternoon over there, and Sunday morning with them)).
