ILLUSTRATOR CS3 EXPORTING PROBLEM

HELLO, I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE COULD TELL ME WHAT IM DOING WRONG. IM TRYING TO EXPORT A SELECTED GRAPHIC FROM A CS3 ILLUSTRATOR FILE TO PHOTOSHOP. WHATS HAPPENING IS, INSTEAD OF EXPORTING JUST THE SELECTED ITEM, ITS EXPORTING THE WHOLE PAGE.? I CANT WORK OUT WHAT IM DOING WRONG.

Yo kev, I found the crop area comand in the object menu, on your menu bar at top of screen. I've worked out a crude way of using the "crop area " command to localise objects for exporting.
1. draw a rectangle roughly the size of graphic you want to export.
2. go to, object menu, crop area, make. this should make crop marks over the rectangle youv'e just created.
3. move your graphic ontop of the rectangular area, with crop marks youve just created.
4. file, export.
so far i havent had any problems with this method.
give it a go.

Viewing large Illustrator CS3 files problem

I use bridge to browse through previous work in created in Illustrator CS3.
Problem - when viewing these files in Bridge some files (whatever their dimensions) show as large thumbnails and others (with the same AI dimensions) are small and do not seem to stretch in Bridge?
Can anyone explain how to stretch the thumbnail in Bridge.

Sorted - I need to save the CS3 file with 'create pdf compatible file' checked in the options, and it then opens as a large thumbnail in bridge.

Illustrator CS3 saving problems

We have recently integrated our MAC's with a new mini MAC sever. Still authenticating on a windows domain and all home areas are network locations on a win2k3 server.
All my Adobe CS3 programs work as you would expect with the exception of Illustrator. I can make a new file under any user name and save it. However if I load that same file up or any other saved file I get errors - some of the errors are on loading the file, ie, plugin's and Parm errors. These all allow me to continue if they show up (not all the time), but no matter what I cannot save the file if I edit it or not. I just get 'UNEXPECTED ERROR SAVING'. I can't save anywhere not to a USB pen, network drive or local HDD. I can save as an eps file but when I go to the location to see what has saved ther is no file there.
I have tried loosing the parameters files and saving as an admin but still the same problem 'Unexpected error saving'. Installed Illustrator and re-installed still the same problem.
Can anyone give me any clues at all please??

I am also having problems with a new trial version of Illustrator CS5. Been working fine for several days of trial version, but got a message to run Application Manager today, and had to update/install a new 30 day trial. I cannot save anything, new work, previous work. Am on a PC, window XP, plenty of memory, power,etc Not a great introduction to someone thinking of buying the new program.

Illustrator CS3 - Export all layers to Individual jpgs

Hi everyone
Is there a way to Export all layers (within Illustrator) to Individual jpgs/png/emf?
e.g.
Say I have 50 layers and I want each layer to be a different .jpg file, I don't want to have to export each layer one at a time.
I know you can do this in Photoshop CS3
Is there is a script for this?
Thanks

As for .jpg and .png, you can do that by using the Save for Web command, assuming you are talking about main layers.
Other formats require scripting and I believe there are a couple of sample scripts in the Adobe Studio Exchange.

Trust tablet + illustrator CS3 + pressure problem

Hi guys,
I've get recently trust slimline tablet for mac. Using Mac OS X 10.6.2 with adobe cs3. I've installed the tablet, and it works ok with photoshop and does recognize brush pressure and everything. But illustrator doesn't seem to see it - I still can draw and use the pen, but when I'm trying to change calligraphic (or any other) brushes settings to pressure sensitive it's impossible: the only variables working are fixed and random. the pen icon in right bottom corner is crossed. Have contacted trust - and there is no special drivers for illustrator, anyway have installed the newest drivers, have installed illustrator update. restarted everything and so on - and still no result. and photoshop still perfect. Any advice? Maybe I should turn on something different than just brushes settings? Have been trying to find any solutions on forums, but no luck there
Thanks in advance

I got the one for mac. [Slimline design tablet for Mac, 15908, 'Fully compatible with Mac OS tablet']. If it was to be working with windows only would expect it to not work with photoshop and other things as well....

Illustrator CC export problem

Someone gave me a file created in illustrator CC; I have Illustrator 6 and cannot open her file. I need a path she has on a layer from it. How can she save it for me to be able to open/edit? Should I download CC version; is it just newer or different?

You don't need to open in Acrobat and save. Just create a new Illustrator file and place the AI.
Or ask your colleague to downsave it to CS6

Premiere Pro CS3 Export problem. help please.

is it normal when i try to export in H.264 Blu-Ray format, there's 3 files created when finished?
Sequence 01.m4v
Sequence 01.m4v.xmpses
and Sequence 01.wav.
and when i try to open m4v there's no sound?
maybe its really for Blu-Ray.
there's really no way to export it with good image quality for youtube and ESPECIALLY, best sound quality ( at least PCM 16-bit 48-Khz or higher )
im REALLY surprise it can't export in AVI.

Welcome to the forum.
In your Export setting, go to Multiplex Settings, and chose anything except "None." Then, you will get a multiplexed file, with both the Audio & Video Streams in one file. See this article for more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3557964#3557964
Good luck,

Illustrator CS3 printing problem

When I print something on illustrator there is always blocks which have a brighter colour on the work and it doesn't seem to be random. I have an inkjet printer, has anyone got any ideas?

Olithe,
To print (reasonably) correctly from Illy you should have a PostScript printer (driver, or at least an emulation of one). Some (older) versions simply refuse to print non PostScript.
You may Save As/Print to PDF and take it from there; You can see whether there are issues on screen.

I already had Unicode added, just added SSPBlocks with the same result.

Illustrator CS3 problem

Hi,
I've been having a bit of what I believe is a problem with Illustrator CS3. I created a graphic layout using Photoshop CS3 and saved the finished product as a jpg to open up and "slice" in illustrator to code it, but every time I open up the image it comes up about half the size of the actual image. At first I thought I had saved the jpg as a smaller size than what it's supposed to be, but when I looked in my files it's the size it should be. I also tried exporting the finished work from photoshop to illustrator, but it did the same. I've also searched around online, including search engines, adobe help, faq, and forums, and have found nothing on this.
If you want/need specifics on my computer, I can give them, but I am running Windows Vista.

How exactly would I go about doing that? I edited the resolution and it made the image smaller/larger overall. I've never had to mess with resolution or DPI before because I've never had this problem so I'm quite green about it.

Problems illustrator cs3 on windows 7 64bit

I've got a problem with my new computer, its a new hp workstation with windows 7 64 bit. Illustrator cs3 uses just a smal part of my virtual memory and is not stable. When i try to export to psd or jpeg it runs out of memory. My computer got a quad-core processor with more then 6 gb installed RAM.
Is there a way to avoid or to cure this problem?

My computer got a quad-core processor with more then 6 gb installed RAM.
Of no relevance whatsoever. As a mostly single-threaded 32bit app, AI doesn't care for any such things. assuming, bloat features would not get in the way, you could probably run it on a 10 year old machine and get the same performance. Anyway, CS3 is not safe on Win 7, even more so the 64bit version, so this is probably all that needs saying. You can toy around with compatibility modes and all that, but whether this will help you in any way, is anybody's guess. so at the risk of sounding like big red A's marketing department, giving the CS4 trial a spin and then upgrading might be worth your time and money...

Illustrator CS3 - problems saving as pdf (or pdf-compatible)

Hi,
My office are trialling Illustrator CS3 as we're getting some business card type work and we'd like to be able to send the proposed designs to the client as a multi-page PDF.
Unfortunately, I'm having a terrible problem when saving a particular file i) as .ai format, if PDF compatibility is checked, &
ii) as a PDF.
In both cases the progress bar goes half way and then Illustrator hangs, eventually saving after 3 hours, at the last try!
The multi-page document consists of 7 x A4 tiles, I know this sounds big but actually there's not that much stuff in it: on each page there's a bit of text, a gradient, 3 monochrome logos and two drop-shadows. There is also a spot colour and a linked image (500kb). If/when it eventually saves the pdf is <150kb and the .ai is <2mb.
I've tested various options when saving to try to trace the problem and it ONLY hangs when PDFing is involved; it saves with compression really fast.
Obviously the time it's taking isn't practical so I'm hoping someone can suggest what might be wrong. The PC is a decent spec: WINXP sp2 / 3GHz P4 / 1mb ram / 256mb gfx / 1.5Gb swapfile / 5gb defragged space on HD. I've looked at the Windows Task Manager as Illustrator is trying to save - the CPU is only up to 50% and the swapfile usage is 300mb - if it's taking so long why isn't it maxed out?
Hope someone can help, thanks in advance.

I can't save a 1.4 meg .ai file as .pdf. Program freezes.

Image Link Problems in Illustrator CS3

Am running on Mac OS 10.4.11. Mac is a Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5. File server is an IBM x3650, running FullPress Software and Xinet and Flashnet.
When saving files in Illustrator CS3 with preserved image links to hi-res images on the server, other users who later open that ai file, have to manually relink to images on the server. If the file is opened on the Mac that created it, images link automatically when opened again. The problem is that other Macs do not see the links/paths to the images.
It is frustrating and time-consuming. The problem seems to be isolated to just 2 specific Macs. One with the spec as above, and the other is a 2x2.66GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon, running on the same Mac OS.
All software installs are same on all macs in my studio.
The overall problem is : 17 Macs. 15 of these can open files created on each others Macs without issue. However, if files were created on the 2 "problem Macs", link issues arise. The 2 problem Macs have link issues with ANY other mac when opening files saved on any other Mac.
Sorry for long winded nature of this, but can anyone help? Have tried all sorts and have run out of ideas on this. URGENT help needed! Thanks.

Thanks Ian and Jim.
Have solved the mystery.
Opened files in Text edit, and the links defined section, did show ghosted volumes on problem macs.
So, went to desktop > From the Go menu, select Go to Folder >then entered "/volumes"
This brought up the volumes and highlighted some anomalies. Folders appearing with same name as my server, meaning when the server mounted it added a suffix of -1, -2 etc.
MANY THANKS Gentleman.
Tim.

Weird Z and Y key swap and arabic filename problems in Illustrator CS3

Hi
I am having some very weird problems with Illustrator CS3.
At completely random times, the software starts to think my Y and Z keys have swapped places. i.e. When I type anything or use any shortcuts, the opposite letters appear and are used.
Also from time to time, when I save a file, the filename is written in Arabic and I have to rename the file again in Explorer to correct this.
Both of these problems are random and a restart or Illustrator usually fixes both of these. But what a pain and waste of time.
Anyone else getting problems like this?
Oh, I'm using Windows Vista.
Thanks
Mr M

My guess is, it is related to Windows. Try to press shift and ctrl at once if the problem occurs. The keys should be switched back...
You have probably installed more than one keyboard in Windows. Shift-ctrl is the standard way to switch between them. You can change this in the Windows keyboard configuration file.
I had this problem with a German and a VS keyboard installed.
