Illustrator CS4 3D text saving problem !! HELP!!

Hi,
I am creating 3D text in illustrator but when I go to save it as an EPS it saves with lines all over the text, I'm wondering why its doing this !!
Any ideas?
Evan

EPS is a flat file format. When you save as EPS you are flattening the artwork.
You may want to look at the Flattener Preview Panel and possibly expand artwork and adjsut it before saving as EPS.

  • Illustrator CS4 wont save files, please help?

    You can edit a file, go to save, close it down, then when you re-open it the changes made have not been saved?? No error message or warning pops up, and it all looks ok like it has saved properly, until you open it up again. This also happens when you use 'save as' command if you use the original file name. If however you type in a different file name - it saves ok. But obviously that is not great as you cant now trust or rely on the save mechanism of the programme, to make sure any changes to artwork have been stored!! I have never seen an issue like this, it is worrying, I hope somebody can help?
    Thanks.
    We are running CS4 on windows7 - yes PC!!!

    We save in EPS, and its not just one file, its a variety of different files and it seems to be random as to which files it does it on, some work fine - some don't. And it can be anything from a minor text change to a colour change, it doesnt seem to matter on the change made, it reacts the same.
    The files are saved over a network connection to a large external hard drive.
    Its really puzzling and now starting to cause problems as we do a fair bit of work in it, and can't trust one of the most important features, and that any changes that have been done have been saved and stored!
    Hope maybe you can help with any thoughts at all.
    Cheers.

    What file format do you save it in?
    What kinds of changes did you make in that file?
    Where do you save the file (removable or network media)?

  • My blends in Illustrator CS4 are not saving or printing correctly.  Why?

    Why are my blends in Illustrator CS4 not saving or printing correctly???
    SPECS:
    Adobe CS4
    MAC 10.5.8
    I got a outlined Text blend with a drop shadow.  And another text with a drop shadow on top.  Not too complex at all.
    Heres some screenshots of the problem.
    (1) Adobe Illustrator Screenshot
    (1) Screenshot of my saved TIff file.  I saved as a PDF as well and still no luck.
    Any suggestions?

    Mylenium,
    Thanks for you time and suggestions!  You helped alot!  My layers panel was crazy.  I re-arranged, re-organized and stacked according to the graphic.  Solved my problem first try.  Not used to making sure the order is right in illustrator, only in photoshop.
    Thanks again man!

  • Illustrator CS4 crashes when saving. (OSX)

    We currently have a few users at my company that are experiencing problems saving specific documents in Illustrator CS4. Most of the documents that they save work just fine and can be edited on other machines with no flaws.  But a handful of the files crash everytime they go to save and is causing quite the headache over here. It also seems to happen when they copy a certain part of the document over to a completely separate one. Currently this is happening on a 10.4.8 & 10.6.1 system along with a single Windows 7 machine. Here are some of the things that I've tried to fix the problem:
    -Cleaned OSX Cache
    -Repaired permissions
    -Deleted the com.adobe.CSXPreferences.plist (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1901414)
    -Reinstalled the entire CS4 Suite
    -Fully update Mac/Adobe software
    -Cleaned/Repaired fonts by using FontDoctor
    If anyone has any suggestions on what could be causing these random unexpended problems I would be very thankful,
    -Matt

    I've been having the same problem on and off - Try starting your Print Spooler! Control Panel - Anmin Tools - Print Spooler - Start....
    Let me know if that works

  • Illustrator CS6 opening and saving problem. Please help

    Hello
    I have Illustrator CS6 installed on windows 8.1. Every time I save a file as ai. format, it will automatically create a copy on the desktop. When I deleted the copy and try opening the original file, the error message "The file is an unknown format and cannot be opened" pops up. I've checked that the file is not "read only", deleted the pref files and even reinstalled Illustrator CS6 but none of these have solved the problem. I have also noticed that I cannot copy or rename the file as the same error message pops up. Any solutions? please help

    (1) When I go to open files, raw or jpeg, I now need to enter a value for 'enable' on the open dialog.  That never was necessary before.
    Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels/Dialogs visible?
    (2) When I go to save as jpeg, the file type defaults to eps. 
    So you select jpg from the dropdown list and it switches to eps?

    Hi Moni,
    The problem as I had replied in your earlier post is with the MODIFY statement.
    MODIFY TABLE ITAB FROM ITAB. This statement will do the modifications based on the table key. When you have character fields as editable, then some problems are to be anticipated. In such a scenario, you must update the internal table based on the <i>index</i>, rather than based on <i>key</i>.
    So consider using
    MODIFY ITAB FROM ITAB INDEX TCL-CURRENT_LINE.
    Where TCL is the name of the Table Control. Also observe the difference in syntax here, don't use the TABLE keyword for the MODIFY statement.
    Please try it out and let me know.
    Regards,
    Anand Mandalika.

  • Illustrator CS3 freezes when saving! HELP!!

    Hi guys. I was in the process of finishing my exhibition presentation boards 2 weeks ago for school. As i was doing that, i dont know what happened, but Illustrator CS3 stopped wanting to save!
    When i click the save or save as button, the browse screen appears for a split second, and the disappears. The software is still in the save mode, on which i can't click anything else.. the only way to close it, is by CTRL-Alt-delete.
    I can't save blank pages i just created or old files i saved a while ago..
    Iv tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing..
    any ideas on what it may be.

    Worked for me too, cheers lads, just come on the forum and problem solved already

  • Illustrator CS4 saving vector art for Microsoft Word

    I have a logo created in Illustrator CS4. I saved the file for use in Microsoft Office using the "save for Office", exporting as a .wmf, and even saving the vector art in Photoshop as a .png. I can get a variety of formats to work well in Word documents.
    Here is the problem. The Word document will eventually be saved as a PDF. When the file is saved as a PDF document (from Word), the color is changing in the PDF file. How can I correct this? I've tried saving in both rgb and cmyk color modes, but the color changes once it hits Acrobat and is printing differently than the Word file. It is driving me crazy and I cannot figure this out.
    Thanks for any help!
    Mary

    The type is not vector it is raster it is no longer outline.
    Check to see if you can select the individual letters in AI if you cannot it has be rasterized and is an image not vector.
    If you open my files you will see that they are selectable in Acrobat and AI.
    You seem confused and I do not understand why.
    Attached is a word file with vector art and type make a  pdf from that and see the difference.
    Also make certain you have Illustrator editing capabilities turned on when exporting to pdf from AI.
    Can you attach one of the eps or the esp you made the sample file from.
    Do not rasterize the outline text art.
    It won't let me attach a word document.

  • Guys ,i have encountered a problem with my adobe illustrator cs4

    i am using illustrator cs4.i have a problem with type along the path feature.i have made some changes to it which i dont remember.so now the text is appearing one below the other rather tha appearing one after the other.how do i reset the settings.plz help!!!!

    Hi teja1995,
    I suspect that you need to adjust the in and out points of the text on the path. Try watching this tutorial, "Putting type on a path," in the Illustrator CC Creative Cloud Learn show to learn how to do this successfully.
    Hope this helps!

  • Illustrator CS4 Text & Shape logo is pixelated when placing as smart object in PS

    I made a Logo in Illustrator CS4 containing text & shape. The lines are crisp and clear at 100% & 200%+. I save my file as an ai and also another version as outlined. But when I copy & paste it into Photoshop CS4 as a smart object it becomes pixelated when I zoom in more than 100%. Is there a way to fix this?
    When I use to do this in CS3 it worked fine, but now it doesn't work. The Photoshop file, placed as a smart object is the one on the left at 200%. You can already tell the pixels are distorted. The one on the right side is Illustrator file at 800% and is still crisp & clean. I've saved as eps, tiff, jpeg from illustrator and when opening it in photoshop and zooming in it's pixelated....and yes AA is turned on in Illustrator and nothing happens when I view as overprint either.
    First, I'd like the logo in jpeg crisp and clear when zoomed in.
    Second, I'd like to resolve the smart object issue in PS. I know a smart object will hold it's quality no matter the resize of the image in PS, but I can't get it to work... Can someone offer any suggestions

    What is the ppi of the Photoshop file?
    And for what it's worth, any raster image will never be as crisp and clear as a vector image, smart object or otherwise. Photoshop shows raster previews even if the actual object is vector. If you zoom in on any raster iamge, you'll see pixelation.

  • Text knockout CS4 - white text on black urgent

    I am having problems with some white text (converted to paths) which is placed on a black background.. When viewing the pdf in Illustrator (CS4), the text shows up fine. When viewing in Acrobat (which the printers will print from), the white text has disappeared. This only applies to some of the text  the rest is fine.  I need to set the white text not to overprint, but in the attributes box it isnt giving me the option to uncheck 'overprint'. Its grayed out. Where can I do this?
    many thanks!

    I don't think that's case, Peter. It looks the OP violated Dov Isaacs' first rule of PDF: Thou shalt not utilize Illustrator as a general purpose PDF editor.
    The text, if I'm right was converted in ID.
    If I'm wrong...well, nevermind.

  • Navigator-Window doesn´t function using big sized Disigns over 3 meters (Illustrator CS4)

    Hi all,
    I think this is a bug. Perhaps you have a solution for me.
    I need a flag in the  dimensions 1.2 meters (wide) and 3.0 meters (build up). In "Setting up document" I entered the values in centimeters.
    The problem is when I  want to move the red rectangle in the Navigator, the desktop, canvas layer moves  completely uncoordinated only in one direction.
    The only thing I can do is to scroll with the scrollbars or the mouse-wheel. As I have to zoom in, this kind of workarround is realy bad for me.
    Who knows the problem and  has a solution?  I use Illustrator CS4.
    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards,

    Hi Laary,
    thanks for your answer.
    Problem is, that I can´t reset AI with the shortcut: Shift+CTRL+ALT+Double-Click as Windows opens the register for relation to the AI.exe.
    I´ll upload the file. Perhaps you can check it for me.

    Or could you let me download an ai-document of you with 120cm 300cm?
    My colleague has the same problem with the file. We both use AI CS4 14.0.0
    Thanks a lot and best regards.

  • Illustrator CS4 does not save an action set

    In Illustrator CS4, english, under Windows XP SP3, english, I created a new action set and wrote some actions. It works. Later, I selected in the Actions menu the command Save Atctions... It opened a system' Save window, let me choose a folder and press OK, but does not do anymore else: without any word, it doesn not save a file. It does not hang, let me select folders, edit name... It seems, what Illustrator forgets about action.
    How to nuge Illustrator CS4 to finish saving actions?

    sana,
    You may try to Move the folder.
    Just deleing it may not be enough.
    If that does not help, a reinstallation of Adobe Acrobat/Reader may.

  • Problem saving files to PDF in Illustrator CS4 [Mac]

    Hi all,
    I'm having a problem with saving files as PDF's in illustrator CS4 - something I've happily done for years until about a week ago.
    It seems to be something to do with the "Save As" command. When I select Save As and then select PDF, the PDF saves as a copy of the current file rather than it saving as a file itself. It also doesn't rename itself properly. Saving a file in the .ai format seems unaffected.
    The multiple page function also seems to be affected - I can create multiple pages no problem, but upon saving the PDF reads as a single page PDF in both Acrobat and Preview. Reopening the same file in Illustrator reveals that the extra pages are there, but not showing in the PDF.
    Any thoughts? I've trashed preferences and repaired permissions, but no joy....
    Any help greatly appreciated

    Have you entered specific artboards in "use artboards"?
