Help: artboard resizes when saving to svg in illustrator cc

I am on a pc (windows 8) using illustrator cc and trying to save from an .ai file to an .svg file. I've also taken a previously saved svg and manually fixed the artboard, then saved. Still resizes the artboard. I've done this multiple times with sucess, but after updating the software last week, the artboard is expanding when I save. I thought I must have changed a setting, but don't think so. I've read lots of posts and tried all kinds of settings but here doesn't seem to be a solution out there. Wish I could go back to the older version!

I have an artboard approx: 612px by 390px. I save file as svg (w response off) and no artboards chosen (or with 1 artboard chosen). I close the file and then I open it again. The artboard is now letter size and the artwork is the same.
But now what is happening is the artboard remains the same size but the artwork is offset below (negative y) and looks like a second artboard, but it isn't. I can correct this by going to objects> artboards> fit to selected art, but it still won't save (hold the correction). I have hundreds of files to save, so fixing manually even if I could, is not an option.
Thinking these 2 problems are related?

Saving an SVG with Illustrator CC Not Working

I am attempting to save an SVG with the new version of Illustrator (Creative Cloud) and it's not working. It seems the code that's output is quite different than that of the old version.
Just to give you a bit of a background on my project, I'm adding a new icon to an existing AI sprite file.
I hacked a solution to the problem by pasting the new bit of code for the new icon from the creative cloud-generated svg into the old CS6 file, and added fill color code to three different places in the new icon code to set the icon color - it was showing up as black and should have been white (it is white in the AI file).
I tried saving the SVG many different ways to no avail - how I can properly save the svg file directly from Illustrator CC? Why isn't it working the same way it did in the previous version?
Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

Another thing to note - I was advised previously to check the "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" checkbox, but that did not work for me. I have tried a number of different SVG settings and nothing seems to work.

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.

Getting an error message when saving my artwork in Illustrator 10. (Some images inside)

So, I was working on this picture just finely, saving the progress...well, last night, when I went to save what I did before retiring for the night, I got the following error.
I don't know what the deal is, it forcs me to rename the darn file, so I end up with two copies of the same project, and I can't even delete the old one, because it gives me some jibber-jabber about the file being used by some program
And on a side note, I have another problem...you know when you have thumnail pictures of your .ai files in the My Computer while exploring the files in the folders? Well, I notice that sometimes that some of the file's thumbnails are scrambled and glitchy and look like this;
rather then this
I will load the scrambled one in, save as a new name, and try to delete and will get the error message as shown on the 2nd image of this post. I'm totally baffled! Even when I close the program, it still says it's in use....by what? I only use .ai files with Illustrator 10....and am tired of seeing my file's thumbnails go scrambled like that...makes it hard to see what the image is, if I don't recognize the file name.
Please, I need help.
Thank you kindly.

Hi cristinar,
By default, Ai CC is installed at below locations:-
Win64 -"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC (64 Bit)"
Win32-"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC" (on a 64bit machine) / "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC" (on a 32bit machine)
Just navigate to the location where AI is installed; right-click shortcut for AI and select 'Run as Administrator' to rectify the issue. You need to follow this step only once and not on every launch of AI CC.
Thanks.

Intermittent Bug when saving pdf files in Illustrator CS6

I save a pdf file in Illustrator CS6 with a specific art board size. When I open it in Acrobat the size is off. When our print's RIP's the file, it is off the same amount. I will re-open it in Illustrator and re-save it and just change the name, the artboard is then correct. This is very intermittent. It has happened on two copies of CS6. Both prograns are current with the updates. I am on a iMac running OS 10.6.8.

Document size is: 36.01 x 98.12
I can open up both documents in Illustrator and they are identical.
We have been using these presets for a couple of years without issue. The problem started happening about 3 weeks ago on 2 seperate computers. We have not seen the problem with CS5.5 and earlier.

Double file extensions keep showing up when saving a file in Illustrator CS3???

I just installed the CS3 suite and when I am saving files in illustrator I keep getting double file extensions. For example if I save a file named "filename" as a .eps file it shows up in the save window with filename.eps.eps Also, if I click through the possible file types to save it keeps adding them one after the other so if I click. say pdf eps and ai the file in the "Save As:" window looks like this " filename.pdf.eps.ai.ai" Any ideas why this is happening? I keep having to mouse click in the "Save As:" box and delete the extra extension. This is really annoying!!
I am running the design premium CS3 on OSX 10.5 on a mac pro.
Thanks.

>Wade... I've seen it... and reported it originally to Adobe. I've since realized it's a 10.5.1 issue. It doesn't happen with 10.4.11, just 10.5.1
I've seen extra periods (.) and extra extensions.
then you and Dave have the same conflict with a third party software, corrupt font, corrupt preference or the like because it is not happening o my Mac Pro and I have the same model Mac as you do and I am working fine in 10.5.1 and only problem I have had with AI CS 3 is when I tried to place a 3D CAD file with the extension .dxf which is not really supported.
I have not seen this even once. Would you like to see screen shots, it honestly is not a 10.5.1 or Illustrator issue on its own. This has to be user specific.

How to keep 300dpi resolution when saving a jpeg from illustrator

I have an illustrator cs4 file set up in 300 dpi. when I save it into a jpeg, it automatically downsizes it to 72 dpi and the quality of the image is really bad. how do i keep a 300 dpi resolution when I save my document to a jpeg file from illustrator?

Use file >> export >>jpeg>resolution >> custom 300
Sounds like you were using save for web.

My other shared computers in my network don't show up the side panel when saving or opening in Illustrator after upgrading to OS X 10.10

When trying to save a file to the computer I use for printing, the entire "Shared" section does NOT show up on my side panel. If I open up a Finder window, they are there and I have no issues accessing them. I just can't get them to appear to select them inside of Illustrator.

Understood, but that's not the issue here, the "shared" section disappears from open/save dialog boxes within the Adobe applications.
I've been testing this with Mavericks and so far have been unable to reproduce the issue, I think this is a Yosemite exclusive issue.
61446 - I'll let you know the final results of our testing, but it looks like downgrading to Mavericks may be the solution here.

Error messages when saving as PDF in illustrator cc

Since the last adobe update;
Every time I save as a PDF I get 2 error messages:
This file does not have a program associated with it to perform this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the default program control panel.
Then this comes up after as an additional message;
This service does not have sufficient privileges, please reinstall.
This has only started happedning since the adobe update.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Without system information and details like what PDF preset you use nobody can even begin to guess.

Need help with info about the possibility of altering images when saved in a different format

I am very new to the design world. I have a printing business and received and image to be printed in Adobe Acrobat (I think). I needed to resize the image to be printed and took it into Photoshop CS6 where I cropped the edges. I then resave it as a PDF and took into a printer software, Fiery. Fiery has an Impose function where you can repeat an image to layout it on the correct paper size. It essentially just copies the original image several times depending on the layout. This particular image I repeated to 3 up and 1 across. When printed it came out with a magenta streak through the center image only. I have had the machine checked and they are adamant it's not a printer issue but a software issue. That once I altered the original image by resizing it that I altered the image and that I can't expect it to come out as seen on the screen. I've printed it all sorts of different ways and it only occurs with the 3 up 1 across image. I know that images can be changed when saved from program to program but this situation does not make sense that it is only the one area and layout that this shows up. I would appreciate any help, input, answers that anyone has. Again, I'm new to this and would like to understand if this is a potential for further printing jobs so that I can do what I need to avoid this situation.
Thank you for your time.
Jessica

Jessica,
Without knowing how the original graphic was created it is hard to tell you how to handle it. What is the name of the file? (Only the file suffix is important). If the file's origin was in a drawing program and/Or InDesign, then the document should be handled differently if the document is a raster image best handled by a program like Photoshop.

Saving as SVG (w/out AI editability) changes artboard size ...why?

Saving as SVG (w/out AI editability) changes artboard size ...why? ai saves the artboard dimensions as the frame, unless it decides to expand the frame to accommodate extraneous material. what is weird and disappointing is that ai does not read these frame values back in to recreate the artboard; you have to use preserve ai capability which attaches huge code. How to get it to retain the chosen artboard size? Thanks, Rich.

I have the same problem. When I save as AI and reopen it the graphics are crisp and align to the pixel grid. When I save as SVG and reopen it the graphics are no longer crisp and no longer align to the pixel grid. It looks like the artboard shifts .5 pixels right and down. That's just odd.
Here's the screenshots (sorry 144dpi).
AI File:
SVG file: (do you see the .5 pixel shift?)
This really concerned me because I am designing SVG's for the web - so they would look crisp on the pixel grid. I tested the SVG in html and it looked crisp on 72dpi and 144dpi displays. So the problem is only how Illustrator imports the SVG, which is very weird. Any thoughts why this happens?
Also, i'm using Illustrator CS6.

HELP! When saving a pdf the objects on the page appear offset of the page boundries.

This happens mostly in illustrator but it just happened again to me while printing a .ps booklet out of indesign and converting to a pdf using distiller.
See the image below:
The left shows my InDesign Document. On the right is the pdf that results from the save. As you can see the page boundaries are being completely disregarded when saving the pdf and everything is equally shifted down and to the right.
Here is an example of me having the same problem in illustrator:
As you can see there is sometimes zero correlation between what is on the artboard and what page the objects end up on in the pdf.
This problem also has another strange symptom, it seems to have to do with dragging images from firefox onto an artboard in illustrator. The image is place automatically in the center and all objects in the file move together in one direction. see before and after photos below:
Before:
After image dragged in:
You can even continue to drag images in and it will move in the same direction the same amount every time:
I'm running Adobe CS6 on OSX 10.9.1. Please let me know what other settings you might need to know to help solve this problem.
Thanks in advance!

In so many words: We can't know. You have not provided any details about your exact settings, what version of Acrobat, your placed images, color settings, color profiles and a million other things including perhaps providing your test fioles for inspection by other people. That aside simply ask in teh relevant ID/ AI/ Acro/ PDF forums. This place here is a dead place and only meant for general sales, install and activation questions, not specific workflow questions.

When I have resized and saved an image in Photoshop (CS, version 8.0 for Mac) using image size, why is it so large when I open it in preview or another image viewer? Has it actually saved according to the size I specified?

When I have resized and saved an image in Photoshop (CS, version 8.0 for Mac) using image size, why is it so large when I open it in preview or another image viewer? Has it actually saved according to the size I specified?

You want to view the image at the Print Size, which represents the size that shows in the Image>Resize Dialog.
View>Print Size
Since screen resolution is almost always lower that the print resolution (somewhere between 72 and 96 usually), images will always look bigger on the screen, unless you view them at print size.
(apple Retina displays have a much higher resolution than normal screens, closer to the average print size resolution)
