How do I save an Illustrator CS6 document down to a previous version like CS2?

I thought I've seen a way to save down to previous versions before, but I can't find it now.
I Googled to find the answer, but everything I've found seems to be about previous versions of Illustrator because the screenshots don't match my Illustrator CS6 for Mac.
Some Google results say to try Export instead of Save as, but I don't see previous versions as options when I try either one.
I'm probably missing something obvious.

File > Save
then give the file a name
then hit the Save button.
This should bring up a box similar to the one below (that's from CS4). Choose the version from the drop-down menu circled in red.
Edit to add; Too slow on the keyboard again!

  • How do you save a circuit built in multisim as a previous version

    I recently purchased EWB multisim 10 to augment my course work.  The problem I am having is that the University that I attend has an older copy of multisim and while I can run projects built in class on Multisim 10, If I build a circuit at home I cannot run it in class and I do not see any method to allow me to save the circuit as a previous version so that I can run it in class.  Help!!

    Hi,
    Multisim in not backward compatible, you can use V10 to open any file created in previous versions but unfortunately, older version will not open the V10 files as the format have changed.  My suggestion is the same as Lacy, there is no other way to this.

  • How can I save pages as a document with the new Mavericks version of pages?

    Is there any way to save a pages document as a Microsoft document?  Additionally, is there any way to save a numbers document as an Excel document?
    Since I have downloaded the new Mavericks software with the new Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, I can't save anything as a Microsoft document anymore.  Can anyone please help?  I'm a student needing an answer because most institutions only use Microsoft.  This is an extremely upsetting fall back for Apple if there isn't a way to accomplish these activities.
    Also, if anyone has any information if Apple is going to provide new drivers for old HP printers and scanners, please inform me.  My multi-functional printer is obsolete (according to a phone conversation with HP).  Currently, I have to jump through hoops to get the scanner to work and Preview crashes most of the time (with the Mavericks update). 

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    iWork does not let you save a document as an Office document by default, so you have to do some extra steps. First open the document and go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Export to, and choose the Office app to create a document for Microsoft Office.
    Respecting to printer drivers, Apple does not provide newer drivers for an obsolete printer. Instead, see if Gutenprint works > http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php

    do illustrator cs6 document open in illustrator cs5?

    Yes, they do, but of course certain features will get converted/ expanded/ flattened and may not be editable. To increase compatibility, save it as a CS5 file from CS6.

  • How can i save a large pdf document in two parts

    how can i save a large pdf document in two parts

    i cannot figure this out, either. and i am also not able to set a custom page size to tile (in this case, tabloid/landscape). the dialog box defaults to my ppd for my epson printer (max size = letter) even when i select the drop down for "printing" to a post script file. I've been using illustrator since it's first release and i'm really surprised that this is rudimentary step in finalizing docs for release has been complicated.

  • How do I save a Pages 2012 document as an iWork '08 file?

    How do I save a Pages 2012 document as an iWork '08 file?

    Kev,
    The File > Save... dialog seems to be only available for documents that are in an "unversioned" state. (I don't know what the official title is for the condition of having a document that is unmodified from its initial naming, so I'll call it "unversioned", meaning that it hasn't had a version update to it's base state.
    If you start from a template your first save will be a File > Save... Right after this first Save, your document has no Version History. It's "unversioned".
    If you File > Duplicate you have created a new document in an "unversioned" state and your next Command-S will give you the option to save a copy to '08 format, the same option you had during your first document save.
    My understanding of this situation is that any file with a Version History is stored across two files, one with the base document and one containing the revisions, the changes you've made since the initial save. Save a Version updates the file containing the changes. File > Duplicate combines the base file and the revisions into one new base document, ready to be Saved. After saving, if you make some changes in this new document your option is again to Save a Version or Duplicate and the cycle continues.
    There are also Revert options that I haven't discussed, but I haven't studied them to know what the menu behavior is.
    I know it can seem confusing and I'm not defending it, but I will recognize Apple's right to try to move the technology forward and I accept that I can learn what's going on and move with them, or I can get off the bus and watch it go down the road without me. It's not the first time I've had to try to figure out what's going on, and I'm sure it won't be the last. If you think I have the logic wrong I'd love to discuss your observations. I'm not interested in discussing if Apple should be doing this or not.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS6 MENA (Middle East North African) version with support for Hebrew text

    Hello, I have a questions. I work for Kao USA. Currently a number of of our employees have Adobe Illustrator CS6 (all Licensed). How would we go about getting the Adobe Illustrator CS6 MENA (Middle East North African) version for Mac machines? Also, would this be included within the same license or would it require us to purchase new licenses altogether? Thanks

    In CS 6 this is stille a separate software.
    You better take the international CC, than you have the languages to.

  • How can I print a whole email document and not a "screen shot" like I get in the Print Preview option.

    How can I print a whole email document and not a "screen shot" like I get in the Print Preview option. I'd like to print from "file" and print" like I can on other browsers (IE, for example). When I try to print from Firefox it grabs all my info (file folders, etc.) from the left side of the page. I need just the email information, not the entire screen information. Thank you!
    -Bruce

    I agree; I should, but I can't :) I have an orange Firefox drop down that I go to to print, and it allows me to select "print", "print preview" and "print setup", where I can change the margins. It always defaults to a full screen shot (I use Yahoo) and does not show just the email. I don't need to print what is on the left side of the screen or anything other than the email (I can achieve these things by using file-print from IE, so I know it is doable, and I am still going into Yahoo and using their email when I do it).
    Hope this helps. I'm not a fan of IE, but I really don't like the print properties I'm getting here (I'm a long time Mozilla user, but I'm losing too much info with this option and can't afford that anymore).
    Thanks for the help!

  • The upgrade to Firefox 4 is causing massive problems with my computer. How do I uninstall it and go back to using the previous version?

    Firefox 4 is absolutely awful - it is causing massive problems with my computer. How do I uninstall Firefox 4 and go back to the previous version of Firefox?

    According to the instructions given on the Norton Community forum under "Other Norton Products/Comcast-Customers - Norton Toolbar Problem in Firefox 10", I have done everything necessary. And I do have a Norton toolbar (Safe Web and Identity Safe) when I open Firefox 10. As was mentioned in the previous posts here, you need to run manual LiveUpdate then reboot until you have version 5.2.0.13. Then reboot and run manual LiveUpdate again and reboot once more. One thing that I noticed is that Norton never told me that it had updated the patch for Firefox 10, so I didn't know. I guess if you have the toolbar when you run Firefox 10, then you have done it all.
