"generated by a newer version of illustrator"

I just got a warning or error message I've never seen before. It says "the file xxx.ai was generated by a newer version of Illustrator. Would you like to import this file? Some data loss may occur."
I made the ai in Illustrator cs6, and was opening it in cs6 when this occured. Anyone get this? When I did choose to open it, it looked like everything was there, but all my layers were gone (everything was now on an unnamed Layer 1)
Illustrator CS6 v16.0.0
Mac osX 10.7.4
-- Jim

THe "Adobe Application Manager" says all my stuff is up to date... You have v16.0.1? It's part of CS6's Master Collection, Mac. This file was made on the same machine I tried to open it on.
Anyway, I quit Illustrator and opened that file again and it was ok (should have done that first!). But here's a screenshot of the error for future searchers:

  • File generated by a newer version of Illustrator-..

    I have Adobe Cloud, but sometimes when I'm opening a clients file I get the message, "this file was generated by a newer version of Illustrator. Would you like to import this file? Some data loss may occur. All my software is up-to-date according to the Application Manager. What gives?

    Are you running AI CC 17.1? My ACC menu app incorrectly told me I was "up-to-date" until I closed and reopened the app. You might try that.

  • Generated By a newer version message

    Why am I still getting a "generated by a newer version" message when I open some files in Illustrator even after I have downloade the latest update using the creative cloud app manager (I did restart the computer after the download)?

    Whoever has the higher version can save it to a lower version (see the manual on saving files).
    Handing files back and forth between different versions is not a recommended workflow. You'll need a thorough knowledge of which function can be downsaved and which one can't. And then you'll have to avoid some functions or use them in a specific way in order to stay editable.

  • I just started using a new version of Illustrator and the text I am creating has a pink box behind, looks to be about the depth of the normal linespace, it is not visible in outline view, only in preview. What is it and how do I get rid of it?

    Hi Larry. I see. It is a file I have worked on previously, and the font is Myriad which I though came with the system. I just changed to Myriad Pro and the pink box disappeared. Thanks for the assistance, I know a new thing!

  • Opening files created in a newer version of Illustrator

    I use illustrator CS version 11, is there a way to open illustrator files saved and created in a newer version of illustrator?

    If you open it with Acrobat Pro, it will open as if it were a PDF. Then just go to File > Export > PostScript > Encapsulated PostScript.  As soon as you choose "Encapsulated PostScript," you will be offered a chance to Save As an .eps file. If you save it in the same file you stored or received it in, it will override the original .eps file as an older version that you can use.  Note that if the original file was an .ai document, it will still save it as an .eps, then you would just use your older Illustrator to save THAT file to override the original .ai document. 
    Some .eps files may not export perfectly, especially if whomever created it used a lot of the most recent tools on it, but most of them will.  Good luck!

  • New version of Illustrator

    Is there going to be a new version of Illustrator CS3 coming out before the end of 2008?

    CS3
    might be updated by a decimal point, but I would bet against it. Adobe won't announce an update until they make it available. The next version, Illustrator 14 (also stupidly named CS4) is in development. Betas of other CS4 applications are currently available, but not Illustrator. This suggests the entire suite will be updated soon, but nobody will know until there is an official announcement from Adobe. Traditionally, Adobe provides free upgrades (e.g. from CS2 to CS3) for purchases made after the announcement.
    If you are waiting to buy, don't. If you need the software, then you need it so you buy it. Besides, Illustrator "upgrades" have a lot in common with recent Windows "upgrades". That is, new features seem worthwhile, but the execution sucks. Illustrator keeps getting a little bit better
    and a little bit worse.
    IMO it's worth the upgrade cost to have the software now, and as a bonus you get to keep two versions of the program, which is a very good thing.

  • Is it possible to open AI files created with newer version of Illustrator?

    I am still using AICS2; I've noticed that files created in newer versions without PDF content will not open; is there any workaround for this? I'm missing out on lots of nice stuff....

    >is there any workaround for this?
    Open them in the appropriate version. You can download a 30-day demo of Illustrator 14. You can also ask the supplier to down-save for you.

  • Maintain PDF layering when opening in older version of Illustrator?

    As the title explains, I was wondering if it may be possible to avoid data loss upon opening a PDF in an older version of Illustrator. I have a client who is still using CS5, and needs to have editable PDF files that maintain their hierarchy.
    Currently standing, I get the "This file was generated by a newer version of Illustrator" error, which flattens the artwork into a single layer. Is there a workaround for this, or am I out of luck?
    Thank you in advanced for your help.

    Have you tried saving as CS5. There's a drop-down menu for choosing a version. It will still flatten some things that are not available in the older version, but you may have better luck keeping the layers intact that way.

  • Can't Open File (Newer Version)

    I have Creative Cloud Illustrator CS6 Version 16.2.0.  I keep gettin a message saying The file can't be opened because it was generated in a newer Version of Illustrator.  How can it be a newer version?

    CS6 and CC are not the same program. Illustrator CC is the latest version.

  • Generate DDL works in old version of SQL Developer, but not in new versions

    Hello all,
    How to generate DDL in new versions of Oracle SQL Developer for production Oracle database?
    For production database, the generate DDL feature works fine in old versions (version 1.5.5) of Oracle SQL Developer, SQuirrel, Toad and many other similar tools, but not the new versions of Oracle SQL Developer (such as 2.1.1.64.45).
    The SQL tab for a table is blank for me in production databases. Of course, it works fine in development Oracle database.
    I did some research that many articles describe SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE as the required read-only role in production database. Our DBA did a test to grant me this role temporarily, and it worked for me to generate DDL using new Oracle SQL Developer. It is pain for me to ask for this role.
    Is there a plug-in or work-around, so the new versions of Oracle SQL Developer can have this generate DDL feature in production without the mentioned SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE?
    I could not find the answer in older forum threads.
    For now, I will have to install older versions of Oracle SQL Developer.
    Thanks

    I've seen a couple posts about people not being able to generate DDL for other users. To date, I've never seen a anybody post a workaround, nor have I seen one of the developers post a response, nor have I seen anybody say they've submitted a SR.
    I think I remember reading somewhere that the new version of SQL Developer uses dbms_metadata.get_ddl to generate DDLS, rather than some custom query built on top of catalog views...which could explain why it use to work, but no longer does. But whether or not this is true, I don't know.
    You could try submitting a SR and see if Oracle responds saying that it's a known bug and will be fixed in the next release. Until then, unless you get the role, you're stuck using something else for DDL generation.

  • I'm back in CS3. What's the extension (acronym) newer version users have to save Illustrator files for me to open?

    Saving new versions of Illustrator files so I can open them in CS3...what's the extension?

    There is no specific other format. They are just AI files. They just have to take care to pick the right version, though inevitably you are going to lose data one way or the other.

  • Need some info about newest version of Illustrator

    I'm currently using my CS3 version of Illustrator, but wondering if Illustrator has grown to take in more of the great features that we used to have in Freehand. Here are the features I miss most from Freehand:
    1.) Able to name artwork and modify globally through search and replace function for artwork (change outline width, fill color etc.)
    2.) Here's the big one I need: Able to select multiple pieces of artwork and modify each in place. In other words, if you select three items and choose 'rotate each' they will each rotate by the specified amount, each in their place and not as a whole group.
    If the new version of Illustrator has taken on these or even just the number 2 need above, I will spring for the new CS5 package.
    Thank You,
    Ken

    1) No. But you can save selections and reload them. Create selections via Select > Same. Or save artwork as symbols, then edit the symbol. (All possible in CS3)
    2) You can already do that in CS3 (Object > Transform > Transform each or Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform Each)
    So, really, you can do everything you've mentioned already. CS5 hasn't made any new strides in these areas specifically.

  • How to Generate New Version of Enhancements done to Std WebDynpro ABAP obj

    Hi Experts,
    We have enhanced a SAP Std WebDynpro ABAP component (HAP_DOCUMENT_BODY) using Enhancement framework provided by SAP. Multiple enhancements were done on the same component for different requirements. Now, under the Enhancement Implementations folder of this component, you can see 5 enhancements of the component each referring to the 5 different changes done (most of the changes were done to the same view ).
    These changes has now been transported to the Quality System. Now, the client wants one of the changes to be removed. I am not sure of the impact of removing, for eg: the 3rd enhancement,  on the other changes done as multiple enhancements were done in a mixed manner.
    What i want to do is to generate a new version of WebDynpro component on Dev which has all the enhancements done so far using Utilities -> Versions -> Generate new version. Then try to delete the 3rd enhancement folder, so that if something goes wrong, I can always revert to this newly created version on DEV which has all changes available.
    Questions:
    1)  Before that, I would like to know if I can generate versions of the enhancements done of WebDynpro ABAP using enhancement framework by using Utilities -> Versions -> Generate new version ?
    2) If yes, I want to generate one version which has all the enhancements done so far using enhancement framework. For doing so, where should i do the click or selection (Is it Std Main Component or is it Enhancements in the enhancements folder-if so, there are 5 of them, and which one??) before i go to  Utilities -> Versions -> Generate new version. I am not clear where i should select or keep the cursor selected on before generating a new version? 
    Please guide with step by step details.
    Thanks,

    I am guessing you are using Rh11 as you have a trial copy. I have some instructions for Rh10 and the only difference should be the script used. See the contact page on my site and request those details. Include a link to this thread.
