Illustrator CC slow when opening files

I recently upgraded to a full CC subscription. I really love it. But it takes Illustrator CC a long time to open a simple AI file. Even if it's just a simple file on my desktop. I know it takes a while when you open files that contain a lot of embedded/linked images or if the file is on a network drive, but that's not the case here.
Anyone happen to know a solution?
Thank you!
Kind regards,
David

David,
Just to make sure (not knowing whether you had the trial CC before this) are all the faces of the Verdana and Tahoma fonts installed and enabled/activated through the OS (not font mangement) as TTF (not OTF)?

  • Dreamweaver very slow when opening files with external links

    Is there any way to fix Dreamweaver CS5 (Windows 7, 64bit) when opening files with external references?
    For example, I have a very simple CSS file, and toward the top the file has a line that says:
    @import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu:500,700");
    This causes the file to take around 20 seconds to open in DW. If I comment out the line or remove it, the file opens almost instantly. This behaviour is also present in files that contain an SSI.
    DW often crashes before being able to open the file and I need to restart the app.
    Can I disable DW from attempting to load the references?? It's obviously what is causing the issue IMO and would love to make DW workable again!

    "Enable Related Files" isn't the fix for this issue. It's slightly different - I wanted to still load related files, but only the ones local to the file I was editing.
    The fix was to use DW's Resolve To IP Address feature. It required adding a registry value - it fixed the issue straight away

  • Lion Preview and Textedit very slow when opening files from Leopard Server

    My small office (about 10 users) recently upgraded our iMac's, Mac Mini's, and Macbook Pro's.  We are experiencing a big problem with Preview opening super slow (1-2 minutes) when trying to open JPG's, PDF's, etc from our 10.5.8 Leopard Server.  We have deleted numerous plist files related to Preview, completely deleted Preview.app from one iMac and reinstalled it via Pacifist and still no change in performance.  One of the new iMac's does open much faster than the others, but we cannot figure out why this one machine works well and the others don't.
    All machines are showing the below error (dozens of times) in Console when trying to open files directly from the server...
    sandboxd:  ([###])  Preview(###) deny system-fsctl
    We have searched the internet for a solution but have not come up with anything that works.  This problem exists with Textedit as well.  We did try opening a file from one Lion machine to the other and it opened very fast.  We also can open files very quickly from older 10.4.11 Tiger machines directly from the server.  So the best we can determine right now is Lion and Leopard Server are not playing nicely together.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I have pasted (one of) the console log files below for reference.

  • Why does Illustrator CC crash when opening files from Windows 7 64x file manager?

    This does not happen with any of my ogher CC applications; and the files open just fine when opening from directly within Illustrator. It doesn't matter if it is an AI, EPS, or PDF file. The program just crashes. What I thought was a glitch a few months ago, seems to keep happening, and despite at least one (1) update, it still isn't fixed.
    Am I the only one having this problem? Thankfully, Illustrator is about the least used of my programs so I'm not ready to pull out my hair just yet.

    UPDATE:
    I have since updated all of my CC applications to 2014, and this issue has ceased. I am marking this issue as answered, but it is not truly resolved.

  • CS3 Illustrator: Extreme slow with opening file

    Hi all,
    I have the following problem on a Win XP desktop pc with 2Gb RAM:
    When opening a file in Illustrator it takes up to 2 minutes before the file opens. During that time the program hangs (not responding).
    The problem started last week, but before there were no problem with it.
    I already browsed around a bit on the internet for a solution. I removed all the offline printers. But no change. At this moment there is only one HP officejet 7400 installed and connected.
    Any thoughts on what goes wrong here?
    All help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hello Harron,
    First of all, thanks for your reply!
    In the beginning it seemed the problem was with several files but not all files. After further investigation this morning (with the user by my side) it seemed that all the files who have the problem are versions of eachother. Other non-related files open fine, so I guess we can conclude that the problem is file related. For now, this is ok for the user, if it is only this file, as she will only have to edit the file a few more times before finishing it.
    Opening Illustrator without opening a file was no problem.
    Thanks again.
    Roel

  • Reader 9.1.0 Crashes or slow when opening files over a network

    Hello all.  I am having a problem with Reader 9.1.  I have files that are on another computer that are accessed on other computers on the network.  There is a need for up to 21 of these files to be open at one time.  As we update the information on them we close them.  At random times and intervals, Reader either is very slow to open up the file, around 5min. and other times it just locks up the computer and a restart is required.  Is this a limitation of the program to work with files on another system?  I do not know much about Reader it's self, but do windows.  Any help with this matter will be greatly appreciated.  I have included the System Paramaters and Installed Plug-ins reports generated in Reader.  I have also tried updating Reader with the lates patch, but that just makes it worse.

    Sorry, my email got cut off. I'll post it again...

  • Illustrator CS3 crashing when opening file

    Whenever I open any AI file the file instantly closes before I can do anything to it.
    It started when I was working on a project and tried to save it and it said "an unknown error has occured" and I'm pretty sure its because I had the Zune software open and Zune and AI don't get along
    So I lost all of my work, but now I can't even open what I already had done because it crashes
    I heard that fonts can cause this issue, I worked on my project on a Mac with different fonts then transfered it over to my PC and of course it couldn't find them so it just replaced them with a font that my PC knew
    could this relate to anything?
    What can I do so that AI will be able to open my files? thank you!

    Jet,
    Have you tried creating a new document and placing the troublesome file in it (ticking Paste Remembers Layers in the Layers flyout options)?
    Otherwise, you may try to Move the folder or look at the Other options

  • Illustrator CS6 Freezing when opening existing files. Need Help ASAP.

I've uninstalled illustrator multiple times. no progress.  I need a fix not a band-aid. I am on a mac running OS X 10.8.3. Is this a known issue? I have a co-working having the same issues.
    Any suggestions??

  • EXTREMELY slow to open files - Illustrator CC 2014!

    Hi,
    I just updated from Maverick to Yosemite 10.10.1

    I have a big problem everytime I try to open a file from within Illustrator CC!
    When try to open a new folder (with few or meny files) it TAKES FOREVER for Illustrator to render the files in the folder. (Aprox 2-5 minutes...).
    Everything on the machine freezes - it's like a big hang! - but after the loooong wait the hang kind of releases and I can see all files in the folder and can open and go on with the job...
    When I do exactly the same but from within Photoshop CC (2014.2.2) everything works smooth, quick and fine!
    I have turned of Yosemite transparance, checked that I have Verdana installed.
    What more can I do???
    Please help - this problem is extremely tedious to have!

    Hi Evil Lair Bear,

    It's impossible fur us at the studio to reopen all old files and embedding pics...
    Now we alla have to have to do the annoying work around "find and open the files in finder"...
    This is driving me nuts...
    Any help would be magic! ;-)

  • Freehand crashes in Snow Leopard when opening files

    If you have the problem of Freehand MX etc crashing when opening files in Snow Leopard then this is for you.
    In the Freehand application folder is a application callled (Freehand Clip Art Viewer) open this and use it to navigate to you file location, have Freehand open. Then just double click on the thumbnail of your file and it will open without any crash report.
    Would pay to add this to the dock beside the Freehand Icon.
    After an hour on the phone help desk advised me that freehand has been upgraded to Illustrator... Some people dont want this and i hope its helps a few hardcore Freehand nutters :-)

    Thanks for the tip. I'll add another.
    I've come across a few old-version FH files with missing fonts that would crash FH.
    I use FontAgent Pro, with auto-activation turned on, as my font manager. Usually there's no problem. FAP activates unactivated fonts and the file opens properly.
    However, I think that Snow Leopard sometimes incorrectly deals with font info in old FH files, and this can lead to a crash. 
    I find that if I open the FontAgent Pro application window first, and then open the problem file in FH, there's no crash. I get Freehand's 'missing font' dialog and am able to select an alternate font.

  • Preview When opening files not showing up in PS6!

    Hi,
    I've recently upgraded from Photoshop 5 to Photoshop 6. When opening files in PS5 a preview was available when selecting PSDs and image files.
    This made it extremely easy to view files and PSD's without having to fully open them. But this feature is not showing up in PS6.
    I'm not sure if this is actually an Adobe problem but I appreciate any and all help.
