    Hi codfather33,
    Please downsave your Ai file from AICS6 to Illustrator CS5 version and then open this file in AICS5. This would ensure that any content is not dropped or expanded unwantedly.
    Thanks,

    It's always a good idea to supply platform and AI version info.
    How are you "converting" the file? Are you choosing "Save As" and selecting PDF from the file format options? This will bring up additional save options. I would suggest "Illustrator Default" setting unless you have specific needs.

  • How do i use illustrator cs6 classroom in a book

    how do i use illustrator cs6 classroom in a book?

    Do you have a copy of Illustrator installed?
    Then just begin at page 1, read it and practice what you read. Step by step.
    If you don't understand parts of it, dive into the manual as well or ask a question in this forum. But mind that not everybody has a copy of the Classroom in a book. So you need to ask your questions precisely and post screenshots of your artwork.

  • MetaData in file not shown in Illustrator cs6 file info panel

    I have a command line application that puts meta-data into files.  It was created using the 5.1.2 xmp toolkit.  The metadata is in the file.  I can see it if I just use TextEdit to look at the file.  I can also see the custom metadata in the Illustrator CS5 File Info Panel AND the Photoshop CS6 File Info Panel.  The information doesn't show up in the Illustrator CS6 file info panel.  Any clue why?

    The files I am testing with are .jpg's.  They ultimately need to be opened with Illustrator which is why I posted.  I only tested with Photoshop to see what would happen and was pretty surprised to see the data there.  Like I said, it works in CS5 Illustrator, CS6 Photoshop, but the data just doesn't show up in the CS6 Illustrator (in the advanced nor the raw tab), and when I view the .jpg with textedit the data is difinitely there.  Pretty weird.

    Very carefully. 
    Seriously, there are few things Photoshop CS6 does that Photoshop CS5 doesn't understand and in most cases the file should just open right up.  Are you having a specific problem?

    When I saved an Illustrator CS6 file to EPS format, I got "could not complete the requested operation. unknown error."
    Google it and find some temp fix. run the illustrator by using "Run as admin" mode and fix the problem, but when use run as, can't see all the original user's mapping drives.
    So still need it fixed.

    It is win 7 64 bit system and same error on Illustrator x86 and x64.

  • Illustrator CS6 File Disappeared

    I was working in an Illustrator CS6 file and saved it into a folder on our server.  Another user tried to open it to work on it and her Illustrator CS6 hung and then crashed.  Afterwards the file was missing from the folder into which it was saved and there were two PDFs that had been created.  This happened to another user and both of us had to recreate all of our work on the file.  Has anyone seen this happen before and know of a solution to prevent it?

    Don't write or read directly to a server from Illustrator.

  • How do I disable Illustrator (CS6) from recognising TIFF paths inside placed TIFF files?

    Hi all,
    I have recently output a job to print that was supplied .AI with a simple .TIFF image placed on an artboard at its desired crop.
    After referring to the original TIFF file I have realised whilst inside illustrator my image suddenly has a clipping mask attached to it, and a lot of it is missing. (however in outline, illustrator only see's a single TIFF bounding box)
    Looking more closely at the TIFF in Photoshop, i've found it has x3 paths inside it!)
    Illustrator is picking these up and masking my photo. Is there a default function or process that can stop this from happening in the future, so it ignores any paths within the file?
    It's concerning how many jobs may be ruined because of this auto feature.
    I look forward to your response
    Thanks
    Matt

    haha, it's not an easy one to describe.
    So when checking the TIFF initially, it is a flat locked image: (image below)
    when placed into Illustrator CS2 and outputting a PDF, I get this correct result: (image below)
    When placed into illustrator CS6 and output to PDF I get this incorrect result: (image below)
    Close up detailing masking effect: (image below)
    When looking more closely in photoshop at my TIFF, it has this inside of it: (image below)
    However, in illustrator there is nothing I can release anywhere as it still treats it as a flat image: (image below)

  • One of my Illustrator CS6 files will only zoom in increments of 100% -- how do I make it normal again?

    I have one Illustrator file that will only zoom in increments of 100%, regardless of whether I use the zoom tool to select the area or I enter an specific zoom level. 
    How do I tell Illustrator to return to its normal zoom behaviour??

    niblettes,
    If it is only one file, you may try to rebuild it as follows:
    1) Select all Layers in the Layers palette and Ctrl/Cmd+C to copy everything,
    2) Create a new document and tick Paste Remembers Layers in the Layers palette and Ctrl/Cmd+F to place everything in place and order,
    3) Utick Paste Remembers Layers in the Layers palette.

  • Illustrator CS6 - File Links Lost & Multiple Users Can Open File Simultaneously

    Hi,
    We've been using Illustrator for years, working off of a local file server for storing all Illustrator and support files.
    But  we've been noticing with Illustrator CS6 some frustrating behavior:
    A) When a user creates a file and attaches a number of images, if a separate user then opens that file all links show up as missing. If nothing is changed or saved, then the original user will still see the links OK. But if another user fixes all the broken links and saves, then the original user shows missing links.
    B) When a user has an Illustrator file open, another user is able to open the file as well (no warnings). This is dangerous and never happened with previous versions of Illustrator.
    We did test to see if either of these issues occurs with InDesign CS6 and they do not. Linked files are kept between users, and only 1 user can have a file open at a time.
    - What changed with Illustrator CS6???
    Thanks. This is maddening for us and wastes a lot of time.

    Hi,
    I think we can use the locks shared or exclusive locks concept here
    you can find examples in this section on how to implement them -
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/41/7af4c5a79e11d1950f0000e82de14a/frameset.htm
    There are two types of lock in the R/3 System:
    Shared lock
    Shared locks (or read locks) allow you to prevent data from being changed while you are reading it. They prevent other programs from setting an exclusive lock (write lock) to change the object. It does not, however, prevent other programs from setting further read locks.
    Exclusive lock
    Exclusive locks (or write locks) allow you to prevent data from being changed while you are changing it yourself. An exclusive lock, as its name suggests, locks an application object for exclusive use by the program that sets it. No other program can then set either a shared lock or an exclusive lock for the same application object.

  • Invisible Illustrator CS6 files

    Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this;
    About two days I ago I purchased, activated and installed Adobe Illustrator CS6 as part of the
    Master Collection on my Macbook Air (Version 10.8.2). At first I was pestered by the infamous
    "Unable to set maximum number of files" error whenever I tried running the program.
    Luckily I was able to resolve this thanks to the 'LaunchAI.command' file.
    - My guess is this has nothing to do with the following problem
    though I thought it couldn't hurt mentioning this beforehand as it isn't supposed to happen either. -
    The problem I'm experiencing now is that whenever I save a file to a certain location (let's say my desktop)
    the file will be saved normally, and is accesible at a later time whenever I use Illustrator but it will not show up
    on the location it is saved to, as if it were hidden.
    I've had this problem trying to save '.eps' files as well as '.ai' files.
    I hope someone can help me out with this quickly seeing as these files have to be handed in on Monday and I'd be very
    grateful knowing how to solve this.

    What happens if you save the files to your documents folder?
    Are you running any system enhancing apps?
    Are you saving to a remote volume?
    Do you have admin privileges on that computer?

  • Help recovering a Illustrator CS6 File

    When I tried to open a big project I been working for many days, I get this error message:
    I Need help urgently to fix this issue, since I cannot see most of my layers on the file after it opens.
    I am using Adobe Illustrator CS6, on a macbook Pro device.
    Any help will be appretiated..

    S,
    You may try to plunge into the code of the file to recover what is hidden in it.
    This instruction by daxxter is quite good (you may also look at the posts there):
    http://daxxter.wordpress.com/2009/04/16/how-to-recover-a-corrupted-illustrator-ai-file/
    Apart from that, you should never end a single day of work without saving it in a way that is independent of the fate of what is on your computer/server/cloud/whatever you rely on for current work. It is also advisable to save versions of long ongoing work under new names from time to time to have something to fall back upon.
