Fuzzy Logo/Artwork when saved in Illustrator CS6

Is anyone else experiencing an issue when saving artwork in Illustrator on newer Macs?
I have spent the past 3 hours trying to figure out the issue. I have Saved to Web, Exported. I have tried png and gif files. The original file is fine, but when I go to resize it to fit my web and blog formats, it pixelates it and it looks terrible.
Please help!

allyandtuck,
Always create the raster image at the exact size(s) in pixels by pixels that it is going to be used at.
You will always have fuzzy/jagged images when you resize (apart from halving the size and similar reductions).
The safest way is Save for Web where you can set the Image Size. That window is also where you tick Art/Type Optimzed.
You should find out the right size for each website.
It may be noted that some websites have some strange conversion/resizing which destroys any quality you have obtained, whatever you do. That also applies to the Profile Images here in these forums.

When saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. How can I fix this?

when saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. Even some text is hidden. I have flattened the artwork so everything is in one layer. How can I fix this?

Hi John
I have indicated on the attached jpeg where the problem is, basically a line of text is missing at the top and part of the feeding diagram is missing. I created the artwork in different layer and then flattened. All text has been converted to outlines, however the areas being affected have no transparency, I have used solid fills or no fills. I get the same result when I export the file as a jpeg. Hope you can help.

Google it and find some temp fix. run the illustrator by using "Run as admin" mode and fix the problem, but when use run as, can't see all the original user's mapping drives.
So still need it fixed.

Groupings are lost when saving between Illustrator CS5.1 and CS6

A PDF that was created with Illustrator CS5.1 is opened in CS6 and then saved. When this said PDF is opened again in CS5.1 all groupings are lost. Any way of preserving this when saving?

When you convert from .ai format to .pdf, that is where your groupings are changing. You could turn on preserve illustrator editing capability to preserve layers, but you want to look at your worklflow. You should be saving as .ai file whenever you can, and only to .pdf as a final copy for distribtuion to someone who does not illustrator.

Blurry Images When Saved In Illustrator CC

Hi,
I've been trying to figure this out for weeks, but can't figure it out. I'm trying to create a new logo and now that I've created it, I try to save it and once saved, It looks very blurry/fuzzy. But in illustrator it looks excellent! It's just in the saved copy that looks horrible. I'm new to using Illustrator, and still in the process of learning, I know it's probably something simple to my problem however I've read every forum related on the internet and even on here and all the solutions that have helped others don't work for me... I'm just metally drained and don't know to do, Any help to solve this problem would be helpful.
-Illustrator CC
-Macbook Pro Retina -late 2013
If there's anything else that you would like to know please let me know. I've tried every possible format just about for the logo to be saved as. Even in the browser preview mode in save for web, it looks horrible. I'm needing this logo to be saved as jpeg, png, or something relative.
Thanks in advance!
-Michael

It isn't really something that requires a 'fix' as such - sadly the number of people with Retina displays is still quite small and most of the time devices use some clever upsampling jiggery-pokery that makes the graphics look better.
I have another question for you, now - when you are exporting your image file from Illustrator, are you changing the anti-aliasing settings to Art Optimised? If this is all news to you, are you using the Export for Microsoft Office option? Or Save For Web?
Sorry to have to ask but it helps in helping you.

Metadata not saving in Illustrator CS6

I have come across multiple users with this same problem and have found no solution. I am creating files in illustrator and saving them as jpegs using 'save for web'. However, none of the user generated metadata is saved with the file. For example, Headline, Description, Keywords and Creator. Any suggestions???????

The files I am testing with are .jpg's. They ultimately need to be opened with Illustrator which is why I posted. I only tested with Photoshop to see what would happen and was pretty surprised to see the data there. Like I said, it works in CS5 Illustrator, CS6 Photoshop, but the data just doesn't show up in the CS6 Illustrator (in the advanced nor the raw tab), and when I view the .jpg with textedit the data is difinitely there. Pretty weird.

Error 5 when starting up Illustrator cs6

Hi, after many install/uninstall on different PCs (I'm testing a silent install procedure for a future deployment), i always get a "5" error code when launching Illustrator cs6.

Lemmy.K I would recommend that you review your installation logs. It should help point you to the cause of the install failure. You can find details on how to accomplish this at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.

Error when installing Adobe Illustrator CS6 (64bit)

Hello everybody,
I've been trying to install all packages inside Creative Suite 6 Design Standard CD but the installation fails, then decided to install one by one and noticed the error comes only when installing Illustrator CS6 (64bit).
My PC is runing windows 7 64bit and the error it appears says: win32 cabinet self-extractor stopped working.
Could anybody give me a hand with this issue, I already look on the web but couldn't find something that really helps me.

Images Issue when saving an illustrator file as pdf

Hi,
I have been suffering these couple of days with the pdfs I save from my illustrator CS5 multi page file. It is a brochure that I designed using many images that I adjusted in Photoshop to CMYK & 300 dpi & embedded in ai. I used some drop shadows for some images & have some transparent vectors & gradient fills in the pages.
The pdfs I save open very normally on my pc, but the issues appear for the client. He gets some images missing in some pages (the ones that got the gradient transparency). The pages also tend not to load completely & stay blurred. He also got the “drawing error” message.
I tried to make sure all color modes are the same_ used the US web coated SWOP (default)
He still gets missing images!
The same file I sent to a friend of mine, it opened normally! but informed me that Adobe considers the file with “special features”.
I had to export the pages to jepgs so that he gets to see the design.
I tried to flatten the gradient transparent vectors but also used the downsampling for the images when saving the pdf & used the “Zip” for compression to reduce the size… what did he get??? no images at all in all the pages.
I started seeing pdf nighmares last night :S really.
Please help :’(
Thanks

Problems saving in Illustrator CS6

Strange thing with Illustrator CS6. When I try to open or save a file I can only do this from dropbox??? But not from my harddisk.
I work with a Mac book pro, with Maverick, but everything worked fine until now this morning.
I can start a new document...but not save it.
When I try and click op the documents folder, the window closes.
Only when I hold; command, control, s and quickly choose dropbox, it works.
Has anybody the same problem?
I restarted already a few times.
Thank you
Paula

Thank you for your reply. I checked that and there was no problem.
In the end I unplugged my computer and all connected devices and restarted after a cup of coffee. And that helped.
As I was able to work in Illustrator and save it to dropbox, my conclusion was also it had to be something with the disk and not with the programm, although Photoshop did not show the same issue.

When saving work in CS6 as CS4 what characteristics/formatting will I lose?

Considering purchasing Illustrator CS6 to use with my Web Standard CS4. I understand that I can "save as" CS4 in Illustrator. Is there information somewhere that will tell me what formatting/features I will lose in the process?

I've written one in German: http://www.vektorgarten.de/illustrator-cs6.html#runterspeichern
Maybe translation services help understanding it.

When saving my Adobe CS6 InDesign document, why does it save as an Adobe Illustrator document?

When I click "Save As" it looks as if it will save it as an indd document, but in fact it saves as an AI document. However, when I double click the icon, it tries to open in Illustrator, but then I get an error message stating it cannot open the document.

It means that your file associations in Windows are messed up - all .indd files are assigned to open up in Illustrator. Shutdown InDesign, open up any file that you know is an InDesign file, right-click and select Properties, and it'll say "Opens With: Illustrator." Click on the CHange button, then choose InDesign from the window, and make sure that the "Always Open With" box at the bottom is checked.
That's how it's supposed to work, anyways, When file associations are messed up in Windows sometimes it takes a lot more work to fix it. But give that a shot first.

Unexplained white edge on eps when placing into Illustrator (CS6)

I'm manually stepping CS3 or CS6 generated eps files inside a master Illustrator file. The EPS looks perfect when I make it, i.e. no white edge. Also when I close and reopen the EPS then view it- no white edge. As soon as I drag or file/place the eps file into an Illustrator file, the white edge appears. This happens in CS3 or CS6. This white edge actually prints "as is". Can't get rid of it. See screen shot.

Good morning Will,
I tried placing ai files into my master imposition files this morning and all went very well. Thank you again enlightening me on importing files.
There is one file that I'm still having problems with, even using the ai import. This is the file that generated my eps white edge issue.
When I bring the masked ai file into the imposition file I get about a 1/8" white area on the left and right sides. And I noticed the file width changed from 8.75" to 8.8+. So somewhere during the placing of the file a .25" edge is being aded to my incoming ai file. I've checked my preferences and such and do not see where I could be adding white to the sides of my placed file. My masked file seems to be exact at 8.75".
Also, I tried importing other masked ai files and all did well--- no white edges. I then created a new imposition file and the white lines appeared again on the masked ai file when I placed it.
Now I think there's a problem with the original art file itself. If you could offer any help, I'd greatly appreciate it as it would help me in the future if (when) this issues arises again.
I've attached my impo file, the original art file and the masked ai file I used for placing.

SVG is being resized when saved from Illustrator CC

Hello All!
I am encountering an issue that has arose since the latest update for Illustrator CC (64-bit). When I come to save a file as an SVG (from my original AI file) the artboard's proportions change, and the size of the SVG changes. I am using Windows 7.
Any suggestions as to what's going wrong would be welcome!
Thanks!

Hi rcbmoose
Yes, I too am saving out from an original AI file.
I've located the issue within the SVG code.
The file should be defaulted to 30x30px, but when the SVG is opened, the image fills the parent space. Here's the SVG code for the problem file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg version="1.1" id="Main_Window" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px" viewBox="0 0 30 30" enable-background="new 0 0 30 30" xml:space="preserve">
<rect fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" fill="#E8E8E8" width="30" height="30"/>
<path id="tst_x5F_eml_x5F_scss_x5F_win" fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" fill="#3D3D3D" d="M26,9.625L15.261,20.375l0,0 l-2.759,2.762l-2.759-2.762l0,0L4,14.627l2.759-2.762l5.742,5.748L23.241,6.864L26,9.625z"/>
</svg>
I've found a temporary work around. Here's the file sized correcly:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg version="1.1" id="Main_Window" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px" width="30" height="30" viewBox="0 0 30 30" enable-background="new 0 0 30 30" xml:space="preserve">
<rect fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" fill="#E8E8E8" width="30" height="30"/>
<path id="tst_x5F_eml_x5F_scss_x5F_win" fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" fill="#3D3D3D" d="M26,9.625L15.261,20.375l0,0 l-2.759,2.762l-2.759-2.762l0,0L4,14.627l2.759-2.762l5.742,5.748L23.241,6.864L26,9.625z"/>
</svg>
The width and height values are missing from the first svg tag (highlighted in code above). You can save your SVG file, and then add these values into the tag yourself via a text editor (i.e. Notepad if you're using windows, or the equivalent on MAC)
This works, but it's not right that we have to do this. This wasn't nessessary before the latest update.
Hope this helps.
Zac
