How do I back save from Illustrator CC?

I need to down save a file that is created in ai CC. How do I do that????

Let me just add to Larry's correct answer that you need to do a Save As...
Then you can select which version of AI to save in. Be aware that if you used a feature that is available in CC but not in CS6, you may have issues. Fortunately those issues are more likely in any subsequent editing of those features in CS6.

    Hi James
    Kindly post the screenshot of Creative Cloud app,
    In case you are not able to see any of the new app, here is what you can try:
    Disable startup items, services | Windows and check if you see After effect
    Start your computer in safe mode - Windows Help If you see After effect in safe mode, you can try to create another Admin user account

  • Can anyone tell me if you can back save from CS6 to CS5 Illustrator, Indesign and Photoshop OK?

    Can anyone tell me if you can back save from CS6 to CS5 Illustrator, Indesign and Photoshop OK? Want to upgrade to CS6 but must I must still remain compatible with work. They are using CS5.

    To clarify your answer for Illustrator.  The option is not in the "Save As" dialog box.
    The correct answer is
    Open you CS6 Illustrator file.
    File>Save As 
    The Save As dialog box opens
    Type your file name (DIFFERENT THAN ORIGINAL PLEASE!) and the Save as Type is still going to be Adobe Illustrator (*.AI)   **This is where the above instructions threw me, as the Save as type drop down does not list anything about versions to save fo)
    Click Save
    Once you click Save, the Illustrator Options dialog box will come up.  The first option is titled Version and has a drop down menu.  Select the version of illustrator you want to save your file as here, then click ok.
    Your done.
    I strongly suggest you give this file a different name than your original CS6 Illustrator version as you may lose some parts of your design in the conversion.
    Hope this helps.  Enjoy!

  • What happens when I back-save from ID5 to ID4?

    First, I am the person with ID5, on a PC using Windows 7 Pro.  I'm sending to a Mac that uses ID4, and don't know the operating system, maybe iOS 10?  I am hoping the ID version matters more.
    I am frustrated because I am sending articles to a small magazine that keep getting messed up by the graphic designer, who knows nothing about grammar, spelling, punctuation or layout.  Via Ctrl-E, I am then choosing .idml to back-save it so that the Mac can open the file.  I have no idea what is seen on the other end, so here are a bunch of questions:
    How much difference is there in letter kerning between ID4 and ID5?  (I suspect the other party is pressing Alt-left arrow to scrunch the letters closer together, which he doesn't have to do because I'm sending a laid-out article.)
    Do fonts I have that are not on the Mac carried over by a back-saved file?  Or does the Mac use a default font?  I used ITC Quorum, an Adobe font, which in print was transposed to Times Roman.  Plus, I put a "southwest shadow" behind the type in the font; the shadow appears in print at "northwest."  (I mean, come on: I'm duplicating what's on my new book's cover and they have to re-design it?!)  I have sent pages to my book editor via Ctrl-E and Adobe Print .pdf, and every time she's printed pages that have ITC Quorum, it comes through; there is no default.  My book editor has a Mac with OSX, and she doesn't own ID, so obviously there isn't a problem there.
    Finally, because of my frustration, I would like to know if there is a way to lock down everything in my article in such a way that the other party cannot format anything; his only option would be to copy and paste into the magazine whatever I send.  This would have to be a function well beyond Ctrl-L.  I am not getting any communication from this person and any time I challenge what's going on, I get blamed instead.  It's a very dysfunctional situation.
    In a couple weeks, I hope to meet in person with the person in charge about these issues, with hard copy in hand.  That person knows nothing about ID, and so it will help me to know what the other end gets when it comes to sending a back-saved .pdf.
    Many thanks in advance for anyone's thoughts.

    my advice is in relation to THAT! and judging by the OP's comments--the magazine appears to not have the newest version of INDD or even a decent RIP (hence the font replacement) additionally--they are opening his INDD file and changing it.
    Yes the changes you described can happen--but the original query was 'how to lock down everything'--that's what my recommendation is based on!
    You need not to have the newest version of InDesign to place an PDF/X-4 file. At least with CS2 you can place it, if not with 2.0 or CS.
    Converting to outline IS NOT locking down everything, it is destroying everything, and yes the described changes will happen.
    tman69 schrieb:
    Also--where I work--we never use Indesign to convert color space upon export--we use a rip profile to convert RGB to G7, but from the OP's description--the magazine in question, doesn't have a 'decent' rip.
    They have InDesign CS4, so they can handle  RGB PDF/X-4! So any profile conversion is possible on PDF EXPORT! But to avoid a CMYK-CMYK convertion it is better to use RGB images.
    tman69 schrieb:
    one more thing--you said "Embed fonts, that is enough!" last time I checked, you cannot embed fonts in an IDML file (which is what the original query was referring to)--however--perhaps the best solution is to just send a 'PDF'--but, I think the magazine in question is not using a PDF workflow (from what's described in the OP they are rotating pages in Indesign and do not have 'modern equipment)--so--I feel that your statement "Please don't make such dangerous recommendations!" is unfounded.
    Hey, I am not an idiot. I know that it is impossible to embed fonts in IDML. Fonts can only be embedded in a PDF and have to be embedded to get any PDF/X file.
    This magazine is using InDesign, so they are using PDF based programs. And when they work with InDesign, they need a rich PDF, so I recommend a PDF/X4. What else do you want to place? You cannot place any IDML file, you could place also an INDD file, but not from a future version.
    No, it is founded. With your recommendations a destroyed and changed file is delivered.

  • How can I permanently save my Illustrator CS6 preferences?

    Each time I open Illustrator, I have to open preferences and go through changing everything back to the way I like it and it's getting really old. How can I permanently save these settings? I've read this article: (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/illustrator/cs/using/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-630ca .html) but I think it's for older versions because I couldn't find the Adobe Illustrator Preferences file, and even if I did I wouldn't know what to do with it. I'm on Mac OSX.7. I previously used CS4 and it saved my preferences the first time permanently. Help!

    Can you check the permission on the following  folder :-
    <startup drive>/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/
    Make sure you have the read and write permission on the "Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings" folder with all the enclosed items.

  • How to get color group from illustrator into flash

    Hi,
    I have difficulties with the color management between Illustrator and Flash.
    I have the original vector files in Illustrator and would like to use the color groups, I have in Illustrator, also in Flash.
    One way doing it is using the Kuler.
    But I can not get the colors from Illustrator into Kuler.
    Can someone advice how to manage that process?
    Many thanks in advance!

    I'm fairly new to this having only recently started using these tools again after six years, but will try to help! Go to "Explore", find a theme you like and click the "Edit" selection when you mouse over it. From there you can edit it or save a copy of it as is as whatever name you wish. In Photoshop or Illustrator, they will now show up in Adobe Color Themes (Window > Extensions > Adobe Color Themes) under "All Themes" in the drop menu. In these apps (and others that are Adobe Color Theme aware), any themes that you favorite on the site will show up under "My Favorites".
    If you're using Fireworks, it's different as it still uses Kuler (Window > Extensions > Kuler).  Themes you save or favorite on the site don't automatically show up there, however you can search for themes by name, and if you select "Custom" from the theme group dropdown, you can enter up to four names that will show up in that dropdown menu and produce as many results as the window can hold for an individual term. For instance, I saved a theme as "Copy of Industrial Calm" which if I enter in the search box, the "group" is a group of one. However, if I just type "Industrial", the window fills with options, yet there are MANY more results on the Adobe Color site and you would have to be specific to get the right one in that window.
    Hope that helps.

  • How to delete back up from MacBook Pro?

    I recently gave my old MacBook Pro to my daughter. To make sure all the APPs etc stayed on it I simply created her a user account  with admin rights and deleted my user account. The problem is now half of the hard drive seems to be full of back ups which I am assuming are from my old account. I had always backed up to an external hard drive via Time Capsule.
    How can I delete these from the old computer to free up space for her ?

    Those are 'local snapshots'... they will 'self-delete' after one week, so there's nothing to worry about. When you delete data, the snapshots of that data remain for one week and then they're gone (along with the data that you trashed).
    It's just a TM 'safety net'!

  • How do I save from Illustrator to a manageable, smaller file.

    My illustrator file size is 1.2gb and I need it smaller to send to the printers. What should I do.

    Fred,
    Illy is unable to help you to get a higher (apparent) resolution.
    Only vector artwork is resolution independent, and unless you patiently recreate with the proper tools such as the Pen Tool, you cannot vectorize and get anything as good as you have already; for photos, hand drawings, and the like, Live/Image Trace is the obvious way to vectorize, but that will not give any better appearance and therefore give you no advantage when you scale up.
    But the required resolution depends entirely on the viewing distance, and it may be limited by the printing process in any case.
    Have you asked the printer about the final resolution at the final size?
    To assess whether the resoltution is sufficient, you may print the whole thing at a moderate size and then view it at the same ratio of size to distance, in other words at the same viewing angle.
    Going from A4 (297) to 2,000 mm is 1 to 6.734, so if you print it at A4 and view it at 1/6.734 times (between 1/6 and 1/7) the viewing distance for the final sheet, you can see how pixelated it will appear (presuming your printer gives you the full resolution inherent in the images).
