How to export to an Illustrator CS5 file iin CS6

I am working on a project at school which has Illustrator CS6 Installed and my friend has CS5 on his computer, and his computer would not read a CS6 file. Is there a way to export from CS6 as a CS5 file?

Do a Save as .ai and take a closer look at the options you can choose there (AI CS5 compatibility).

  • Issues exporting gradients from Illustrator CS5 files to EPS 8

    Hello everyone, I'm having problems exporting illustrator files to EPS, mainly with gradients that aren't rendering properly. These fills are appearing as small sliced objects rather than complete shapes. Any advice?
    Thanks!

    Illustrator 8 is over a decade old. I expect that Adobe has significantly changed the way gradients are saved in Illustrator files since version 8. So, in order to preserve the appearance of the gradient Illustrator just expands it, rather than continuing to support a legacy format that’s so old. This is unfortunate but understandable.
    Perhaps there are other options. Why are you saving as an Illustrator 8 EPS file? Surely you are not sending the file to someone who has no more recent version than 8? If the file is not meant for use exclusively with Adobe Illustrator 8 then it will be converted to some other format when the person you are sending it to opens it. When that happens, expect the gradient to be converted anyway.
    My point is I doubt this Illustrator 8 EPS file will need to be edited, so it doesn’t matter that the gradient is expanded.

  • How to open InDesign CS3 or CS5 files in CS6?

    I know I should be able to open earlier versions in CS6 but when I try, it opens and the InDesign pages are blank. I also have idml files that will not open as showing anything in 6. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    Ask in the ID forum and provide more info on what you actually have on the pages, system info and all that.

  • Layer Pallet issues with CS5 files in CS6

    Opening Illustrator CS5 files in CS6 causes the visibilty icons, layer names, and layer thumbnails to disappear  from the layers pallet. Objects are still there as are the layers and sub layers but I am unable to identify them in the layers pallet (see screen shot of CS6 panel and CS5 layeers panel). Have tried changing Panel Options. Have also tried changing the file names which it lets me do but disappear as soon as I leave the pallet. Also have tried pasting into a new document with "paste remember layers" but they arive in the new document the same way. The only thing that seems to work is pasting one layer at a time into a new document, and naming it at that time. This also provides the layer thumbnail. This is not a small issue as I have thousands of CS5 files which I will need to work with.
    I am on a iMAC, running OS X 10.6.8

    Try turning off the "Do not print" for this layer
    Do you have the Verdana italic font properly installed on your machine?

  • Opening Adobe illustrator CS5 file in CorelDraw X5

    I was totally new to graphic design and the best I could do was resize images in MS Paint or use Word 2010. Than I discovered Adobe Illustartor as I needed to make a logo and Letter Head. After breaking my head against my monitor (does not hurt any more) and learning it for 2 weeks, I became sufficiently good enough (if I can be excused to say that) and designed the logo and letterhead. Now it has to go to print.
    The problem is that all the commercial printers and the people who use them, HERE use CorelDRAW and not only that but also older versions from 9 to 15. They refuse to take Adobe Illustrator files or even CorelDRAW files above version 12 such as v15 or X5. They refuse to work with PDF files also. No Word 2010 files either. Simply and Only CorelDRAW files of version 9 to 12.
    The Adobe Illustrator CS5 does not have options of saving the files in ".cdr" format. And when I import or open the ".ai" file in CorelDRAW X5, many things happen. Color changes of text as well as objects. Some objects do not get displayed. Alignment and positioning gets changed, and many others.
    I have taken some steps after reading on the net to make it easier for CorelDRAW X5 to import the ".ai" files. And also tried many things. These include, but are not limited to..
    Uncheck/disable the "compression" when saving the file in AI-CS5. 
    Uncheck/disable the "Embed ICC Prile" when saving in AI-CS5. 
    Convert all text to outlines. 
    Saving in "SVG", "PDF" all different versions. 
    Saving in older AI-CS5 Legacy versions. 
    Exporting the file from AI-CS5 in different file formats. 
    Importing the file from CD-X5. 
    Working in RGB Color Mode.
      ... And many more. 
    Please note that I can not be expected to fresh learn CD-X5 and abandon AI-CS5 and design from the begining, if that is a "sole" answer. Also my design is simple enough. Attached are 2 pics. One of the logo and the other of the letterhead. Just 3 rounded rectangles filled with 2 color gradients and vectors of animals with styles applied to those animals and with text at the bottom.
    The Logohttp://oi44.tinypic.com/ieqs0m.jpg
    The LetterHeadhttp://oi41.tinypic.com/1zzj03s.jpg
    Please further note (yes! I know, you have heard that many times) that although I was successful in designing (the asthetic beauty of the design is another matter), I am still new to designing. So Color Theroy or Font theroy have not made past me. And I wonder what's the point of having a standard of "SVG" If these so called "Vector Editing Applications" can not handle the files uniformly?
    I guess my question is how to either
    Export/Save/Save As/Place the file from AI-CS5 to CD-X5 
    Import/Open/Open As/Place the file in CS-X5 from AI-CS5
    Without changes being made to it. My objective to to hand over a print ready file to the printing guys.
    Thanks in Advance.

  • How to export data to multiple csv files?

    Hey Scripting Guys,
    As stated by the name I'm a novice at scripting.  Typically I'm able to resolve most of my scripting challenges by reading through your site or scouring the internet.  This challenge I haven't been able to resolve.  Please help!!
    I'm running a script (posted below) to grab data and export it to a csv file.  My challenge is that I want to run the script daily via task manager and have it create a new csv file either daily or weekly.  I'm having trouble with the scripting
    creating a new csv file.  How do I resolve this?  
    It would be beneficial to append the date to a standard file name, ex. c:\exportedcsv7-11-2014.csv; the next day it would be c:\exportedcsv7-12-2014.csv; and so on.
    Thank you in advance to any assistance.

    Thank you for the information and the tip.  I took your advice and did some research on Strings, something that I do have trouble grasping.  I'm familiar with variables already and feel comfortable using them.  I also need to study .Net which
    I totally don't understand. 
    Since I appreciate your advice and guidance I'd like to know if I'm on the correct track.  Please look at my breakdown to see if I'm explaining it correctly.
    $d=Get-Date
    Here a variable is being created using the Get-Date cmdlet, if we execute $d the date will appear
    $d.ToString('dd-MM-yyyy')
    This converts the date into the format dd-MM-yyyy.
    I took the information and tips you provided then came up with this after reading about strings.
    export-csv -notype "c:\folder\vmds_$($d.ToString('MM-dd-yyyy')).csv"
    The double quotes evaluate the variables.  The single quotes do not evaluate anything they just show what's inside of them (a.k.a. literal string). The $() evaluate the expression in ('MM-dd-yyyy') before writing it.
    You are correct I definitely need to strengthen the foundation of my basics.  Thank you for the direction and advice.

  • How to export  sequence of  identical audio files?

    Adobe Premier Pro CC 7.2.1
    I have a big audio mix on the soundtrack consisting of many short different  same duration audio files. now I need to export a sequence of identical files into separate audio track for further processing in to the DAW. the best way to do it is change the color of each identical audio, but I have not found this function or mute from project or just see titles or set up so that when I add  new audio file  it created a separate channel in the mixer not available for other or something like this... otherwise I must push each audio to see title to drag sequence of identical audio file to separate channel and mute others. my mistake is that from  beginning I did not put the identical files to separate channel and now everything is mixed. is there any solution?

    Sorry, but the previous answers are not quite correct. Consolidate tracks will only merge all your edits and fades and make a new audio file out of it. It wont consolidate any automation or insert effects. The same is true for exporting audio from the regions pane. Therefore you still have to perform a "bounce to disk" in order to consolidate properly. So no it doesn't have the "Export All Tracks as Audio Files" option......
    Christian,
    When "exporting" from one DAW to another, it's generally understood that automation and plug-ins will not be included.
    Exporting from Pro Tools does indeed bounce the files to disk. We aren't talking about a stereo mix here. We're talking about exporting all the individual tracks. Are have I misunderstood you?
    .... which leads me on to this question. How long has logic had the "Export All..." function as I have been performing "track lays" (i.e. getting my logic stuff ready for a pro-tools mix) for films that can often take days to perform and am embarrassed to stumble across this option on this forum as I fear I may have cost myself several weeks of my life working the long way round!!!
    "Export All tracks as Audio Files" was introduced in version 7.0.
    Don't feel too ashamed though. I have a good friend, who has been using Logic daily as long as I have (8 years or so now), who only 3 months ago, saw me utilizing that feature, and his jaw dropped. He too, had been wasting "weeks" of his life, doing it the way you have been doing it. : )
    You're gonna absolutely LOVE using that feature from this day forward...!

  • How to export report output into excel file

    hi friends,
    i would like to get the solution from you for how to export the report output into a .xls file. i know how to convert it into .rtf and .txt files but i think it's difficult to do this .xls way, could you help me to comeover this problem?
    thankyou very much.

    The official answer is "delimited", which
    generates adequate comma or other delimited
    text. No formatting, and without extra
    effort no support for non-ASCII characters.
    Might be sufficient for you.
    Note that Excel can read html files - we
    built programs to generate html files with
    name of "blah.xls" and some Excel-ish
    extensions, so Excel is automatically opened
    and the document is all nice and pretty.
    (Oracle html output has some odd logic about
    choosing number of columns, we didn't use
    it.)

  • Let me choose which font(s) to substitute when opening an Adobe Illustrator (CS5) file

    Hello!
    I have an illustrator Windows file, created by someone else, and one font is missing.
    When I open the file, Illustrator says a font is missing and it will substitute the missing font.
    How can I tell Illustrator to use a specific font instead of Illustrator automatically making that decision for me?
    Thanks!
    Rowby

    Rowby,
    I am afraid it is impossible.
    You will need to see which font it is substituted by, and then you may change it with Type>Find Font.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS5 File sizes are huge!

    Try this:
    open a new Illustrator document
    create a simple box, black stroke, white fill
    save the file
    you're looking at something like 1 Mb for these 4 anchor points and the fill and stroke definition!
    now, back in Illustrator, downsave to Illustrator 3 format
    file size is in around 6Kb - much better!
    Okay, I know we can disable ICC profile embedding, PDF compatibility etc, but none of that even comes remotely close to the "correct" file size of < 10Kb.
    C'mon Adobe, what are you putting in that CS5 file that's so darned important? This isn't a complex illustration with gradient masks, 3D transforms and thousands of points.
    I get it, everyone has terrabyte drives and high-speed internet. Is that an excuse to make really inefficient file formats?

    hmmmm......
    As Monika pointed out... deleting the defualt library items will make files sizes drastically smaller.
    I'd guess that version 3, since it lacked the ability to work in preview mode, didn't save file previews with the file either... that could easily account for 50kb.
