How do you save Illustrator 8 files in Illustrator 15.0.2?

I need to save a file I made in Illustrator 15.0.2 as an Illustrator 8 file so a friend can use it in another program, however, there does not seem to be a way to do this. When I click on "save" or "save as" I am given the options of ai, eps, ait, pdf, fxg, svgz and svg. When I click "export" I get the options for png, bmp, dwg, dxf, emf, swf, jpeg, pct, psd, tif, tga, txt and wmf. I do not ever get a dropdown menu to backsave to previous versions.

Just do a "Save As" and choose .ai. After you click OK, a secondary window will pop up where you can choose what version at the top.

  • Can/How do you save excel files to the cloud?

    How, if at all, can you save excel files to icloud?

    I think you need to upgrade your MacOS.  Mine is running MacOS X 10.8.4. 
    I am running Numbers '09 v2.3.
    Need to sign on to iCloud under Mac Preference Settings.
    When I start Numbers, I can view files stored on iCloud, or locally on the Mac harddisk.
    Hope it helps.

  • How do you save my files from the recovery HD.

    My Macbook keeps processing, so I went to the recovery hd amd mac os x utilitiles.  from this point i am trying save my files so i can erase disk using disk utility.  any ideas.

    If you have an external hard drive, you can use the Restore tab in Disk Utility to copy the contents of one disk to another.  Note that this will erase the destination drive, and may very well fail.  You could also use the command line in the Terminal from recovery mode and copy files that way, but that requires knowledge of how to use Unix filesystem commands.  You could also try connecting the Mac to another Mac via Firewire target disk mode and copy the data that way.
    Alternately, if your Mac won't start up, you could try just repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility and then installing Mac OS X on top of your existing system.  That will replace all the system files but leave your files and apps alone.  (Of course, things can go wrong in cases like this, so making some kind of backups would be a good idea.)

  • How do you save a file to ipad like resume then add it and post to a web sight

    how to save file to ipad then link to job post like reume

    Depends on the application you are using to create the resume. If you're using pages, it will save to ipad and icloud if you set that up.
    How to upload will depend on the web site, they typically will have there own way of uploading or submitting files. Usually a 'upload file' button somewhere on there page.

  • Where and how do you save 'recorded' files on iPad?

    Hello,
    I don't have iTunes (only on iPad), or computer, so anything to do with sync or similar is not an option.
    I will need to put files from my recording player (a separate dictaphone device) (which is can connect to iPad through camera connection kit) onto iPad. Where and how do I need to save it, so it does not mix with music files?
    Also, as a separate question- where do i save music on my iPad that I buy online? e.g. napster.co.uk
    P.S. I have those questions because the book I'm learning about iPad, is only talking about iTunes etc, and so the files are automatically downloaded and stored  where it has to be stored.
    Thank you for your help.

    only way to get files to the ipad is using itunes / app store
    and in limited ways using a computer
    believe with only an ipad your only source for music is itunes and other music providers who make an app in app store to handle it would think a company like amazon would have a player not sure about napster didn't even think they were really around anymore

  • How do you save EPS file to an older version in Photoshop CS6?

    Just upgraded to CS6 (I know...its a year old!).  Every logo I try to open in AI states the logo was created in a newer version of AI and it won't allow me to open it.  That is not true as the graphic designer sending them to me created them in CS6.  I open them in Photoshop, but I can't figure out how to save them in an older version which is needed for one of my clients.  Help!

    Just confirming...  You have a perpetual license (not a cloud subscription), right?
    Even if it was just installed, Adobe always makes a practice of delivering their .0.0 version initially and requiring you to update it.
    Choose Help - System Info in the Photoshop menus to get the exact Photoshop version number that's installed.
    Choose Help - Updates and follow the instructions to update to the latest, which I believe 13.0.1.3.

  • I can round edges of an object but how to I save the file and the logo will have rounded edges?

    Rounding edges of objects is easy but how to you save the file to have rounded edges?

    mercedesattig,
    If you round edges of objects, they should be rounded when you save the document, and when you open it again.

  • Why does Illustrator make you save every file 20 times or more?

    OK I exaggerate, but really, saving 3-4 times over and over is quite annoying...

    Tom:
    What you are referring to is when you save a file for the first time. I used to think "what the hey?" until I figured out why it does what it does...
    When you go to save, you type in the file name, but without appending the extension, because you're used to the program doing this, right? Try typing the extension on the end and hit save, it will skip a step, adding the extension is all Illustrator does the first click.
    The second main dialog window gathers all the pertinent info you want to save with the file, so that is kinda important.
    What more do you want?

  • How do you save a pencil preset in illustrator CC 2014 ?

    This seems like it should be an easy thing to do, but how do you save a pencil tool preset? I got the pencil the way I want it (after much tweaking) but can't find any way to save it. Have searched help as best I can but get nowhere. I'm sure it's very simple if you just know where to click!
    Thanks in advance,
    LL

    Sorry I never got back to you about this, Monika. Thanks very much for the info. Yes, I meant presets for the tool itself. It seemed like something I should be able to save presets for (like a brush), but I was going crazy that I couldn't figure out how to do it. Now I can rest easy knowing that I'm not just missing something obvious :-)

  • How to create a eps file from illustrator?

    I am new to illustrator and new to creating logos for print, I usually only do it for the web.  I am creating a logo for my team so that it can be printed onto a jacket.  I created an all white logo because the jacket is black.  I was asked to send an eps file.  I created the logo in illustrator and saved it as an eps file and as a pdf file thinking the printer could use the pdf for viewing.  When I open the pdf file, the only thing that's there is a soccer ball, my text and a few other things are missing.  When I open the saved eps file, the same thing, I have to go to select all to see all my other stuff in the eps file.  How do I save my file as eps and know that it's attaching everything I have within the illustrator file and how can I view the logo as a pdf?  Any help you can give would be greatly appeciated, thanks so much!

    How did you similate the black color?
    Since Illustrator does not have a background, you must create one with the rectangle tool, drag out a rectangle the size of the document and then move it to the back. That rectangle can then be filled with black.
    Also look in your layers panel and see what you have for objects. You can select them there and move them up or down to bring them forward or backward on the document. It can also make it easier to select when the object is below others.

  • How to open multiple artboard illustrator file in illustrator. Coz, whenever we open a multiple artboard file, illustrator provide an option to chose one artboard but does not allow opening of all artboards. Somebody may explain it

    Doug's got it right. It sounds like you are trying to open a later version file in an earlier version. This will always be handled as opening the PDF portion of the file. Try Googling AI_openMultiPagePDF for a script to open these or Resave from the newer version to the older.

  • IMovie crashed, lost project. How do you SAVE in iMovie? Where's the file?

    Just spent 4-5 hours building a complicated movie from a year's worth of footage. At some point, iMovie crashed. I think I lost all those hours of creative decision making, since I cannot see the file when I reopen iMovie.
    There is no "open" command in the file menu. There is no "save" command in the file menu.
    This would imply that Apple was autosaving for me to save me trouble. Hmm. I can save in almost every program I use, and revert, and save versions.
    How do you save a project in iMovie? I don't see save in the file menu, as has been the steadfast tradition of Apple applications since I purchased my first Mac in 1984. What in the blazes have you done with SAVE? It is so basic.
    Along the same line, where is the project file located on my hard drive? I would like to open it. Since I assume you have been autosaving to somewhere, could you please let me know where my file is saved.
    <Edited by Host>

    This just appeared to happen to me too.  I tried clicking on the file in Movies/iMovie Projects.  That didn't work.
    Then, I made a copy of the  file in a safe place.  I noticed it was 2.2 MB, so something had to be in there.  Next, I started iMovie and clicked the Project Library arrow.  The project was listed there.  I opened it and got back most but not all of the work.  It lost a lot of my audio changes.  Here's the thing.  I worked until about midnight, and then left iMovie up and running til noon.  You would think it would have autosaved the changes by the time I came back.  I suggest making your own copy of the file now and then, just in case.

  • Can you use Easynews to download movies etc to IMac and how and where do you save the files?

    Can you useEasynews to download movies etc to IMac and how and where do you save the files?

    From your Apple menu at the left end of the menubar, select "About this Mac." You get a window similar to this:
    1) The Mac OS version is just under the big "MAC OS X" line. Post what that says.
    2) We can start to figure out what iMac you have if you post what that the "Processor" line says.
    We need to find out because Apple's poor labling choices for this forum, intended for iMacs made before 2006, causes people with newer and much more capable Macs to post here by mistake.
    Without some info from you, it's much like your calling an auto mechanic and asking if you can use a certain part without telling him the make, model, or year of your car. Quess what his first question will be? Works the same here.

  • How do you save an iMovie project as a file?

    how do you save an imovie as a windows file?

    You first have to format the External drive as Mac OS Extended. This can be done with Disk Utility which is located in the Utilities Folder inside the Applications Folder. Once formatted as a native Mac OS drive, iMovie will allow you to 'turn on' the visibility of the external drive. Make sure to make the hard drive visible in the Events Library by going to the View Menu > Group Events by Disk. In the Projects Folder you should also see the same drive.
    Drag your Project folders to the external drive icon in the Project Library. Also drag your Event Folders to the external drive (but make sure to drag it to the icon that is visible in the Event Library, don't drag it to the Project Library drive icon).
    This dragging operation will 'duplicate' your Project Folders and Event Folders on the external drive. So to make space on your internal drive, always delete the original folders AFTER you make copies of them on the External drive. In the future when you are importing video into a New Event, make sure to choose the external drive as the location for the the New Event folder. Similalrly create a new Project Folder in the external drive location in the Project Library.
    iMovie doesn't have save menu, it auto-saves in the background continuously as you work on the Project. That way you don't lose any work by forgetting to save the project.

  • How do you save a jepeg scanned file to email it?

    I scanned a document and the mac saved it as a jpeg file in photosmart utility (colorsync utility?).  I could not email it as an attachment,  and I could not save it as a different type of file.  I could not copy the file to paste it as a word document.  How do you save a jpeg scanned file to email it?

    I scanned the document on an hp injet printer and it was all automatically done by the laptop.  I didn't use image capture, that I know of.  I don't know what that is, or how to utilize it to scan the pages.  I scanned about 10 pages and they went into a folder called scanner output.  I was able to attach that to the email, but then the email could not be sent.  The email tries to send it, then after about 7-8 minutes I get a message that says:
    "Sending the message content to the server failed.
      Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be delivered."
