Illustrator CS4 can't open the illustration?

I tried to open an Illustrator CS4 file that was saved successfully a couple days ago and it popped up with this:

Please help!

Joey,
It seems the file has been corrupted.
You may try creating a new document and placing the file in it (having ticked Paste remembers Layers in the Layers panel flyout) and see how much may be saved that way.
And/or you may start reading here and here:

You may be able to assess the amount of damage by the file size before and after.
Edit: What about backup? Rereading, I realized the answer.

I just purchased the new Canon SX60 camera. Despite downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I receive an error message saying that Photoshop CS4 can't open up/convert raw files (.CR2). This is the same file format as used by

I just purchased the new Canon SX60 camera. Despite downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I receive an error message saying that Photoshop CS4 can't open up/convert raw files (.CR2). This is the same file format as used by the SX50, with which I never had any problem. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this problem? Thanks.

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras I do not see that SX60 as supported. Just how new is the SX60 when was it announces. Its support is not even listed in ACR 8.7 RC

Illustrator CS2 can't open new file with network printer installed

It seems that with my network printer set up I can't do much with Illustrator, I can't open new files and I can't print without opening up the printer setup menu in Windows.
Photoshop CS btw, I can't open it at all.
I take the network printer offline and everything is fine, except then I don't have a printer.
Windows XP SP2
Illustrator CS2 12.0.1
Any fix for this?
Thanks,
David

Creating a Dummy Generic printer fixed the issues of opening a new file in Illustrator and being able to open PS at all.
However Illustrator is still taking several minutes to print something as simple as a test circle.
The menu I was referring to is Printers & Faxes under control panel, though I realized later that may not have had anything to do with it. It may have simply been coincidental timing. I opened the P&F window about 10 minutes after hitting print and just after opening P&F the print window popped up. It simply may have been taking 10 minutes for the print window to open.
With the network printer set up as the default printer if I try to open Photoshop a window opens but just stays a grey blank screen, no credits box, nothing. Then if after a few minutes I hit ctrl+alt+del it says Photoshop not responding.
What I was doing to take the printer offline was to completely delete the network printer from Printers & Faxes.
I'll see if they have an updated set of drivers, but I think I have the latest ones, as I updated them a month or so ago.
Thanks,
David

Need help! I have a plug-ins issue in illustrator CS4 after updating my MAC OS from Mavericks to the new YOSIMITE

Hi,
My Adobe CS 4 ran perfectly find up until I updated my MAC OS from Mavericks to the new YOSIMITE. When I launch illustrator CS4 I get a window message the reads "some plug-ins in the additional Plug-ins folder are conflicting with application or user plug-ins. It will skip loading plug-ins from additional plug-ins folder." there is a OK button that I must click on to close the message window and then illustrator will continue loading process, then a second window will appear reading "Error loading plug-ins. PhotoshopImport.aip" there is a OK button that I must click on to close the message window and then illustrator will continue loading and launch.
The problem is when I open a current file that has a psd link I will get a window message reading "could not find a plug-in to read the link file _______ choose repair to locate the missing file, replace to select another file, or ignore to leave the link unchange." When selecting a psd link /file it is greyed out which I cannot select it. I can not select, choose, import or open any files/links that is a psd.
Would someone please help me resolve this issue please!!!

I have the same issue! Did you get a solution yet?

Illustrator CS4 won't open

I recently got a brand new 27 inch Imac, and put CS4 on it. Every program in the suite and even Lightroom work great, EXCEPT illustrator.
The load screen some on, and when it gets to initializing plug ins "PDF suite" it ALWAYS crashes.
I've created new users, i've trashed all corrupt and duplicate fonts, i've opened in safe mode and downloaded 3rd party files to clear the font cache, i've deleted the settings folder and the com.adobeblahblah.pls file. I've repaired file permissions. I've installed, reinstalled, and done the same with multiple different dmg files. NOTHING I've read so far works. One thing it HAS done however is make my Airport rather unstable.
Needless to say, it's insanely frustrating to buy a brand new computer, just to have to still use the old mac book for all designing needs.
please, any other tips someone has would be incredible. I'm about to throw this off the roof.

This is what I would do under these conditions.
deactivate the suites
go to Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers and use the removal application to uninstall the suite
I would then wipe the sytem and reinstall it
I would then update the system using the software updater
I would then before installing any thing else install the suite
then launch Illustrator all should be fine, unless of course you decide not to follow the instruction which means you cannot load your fonts or third party plug ins or system utilities or hacks etc.
You have to launch Illustrator first. And do nothing else.
Your third part y stuff and or fonts are causing the problem more that likely after you have successfully launch Illustrator you can load the other stuff. after you load or install a software launch Illustrator to see which one causes the problem then uninstall that app or font and all should be fine.
That is what I would do.

Illustrator CS4 Slow to open and save

Hi
For the past couple of weeks, I've been having big problems working in Illustrator. Opening and saving files are the main issues, sometimes I can work within the program without problems, but at other times, other windows, such as Safari or Bridge are active instead of Illustrator.
When opening a file, it generally takes a couple of minutes, first nothing happens, and then the wheel of doom appears.
The files are not large - I have tried opening a blank file and saving a simple square, and still have the same issues.
The computer spec is
Mac OS X
Version 10.6.8
Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB
Capacity on Hard drive 500 GB, used 73.5 GB
I use a nas box to store my work, but am not working directly from this.
I have tried fixing disk permissions
Secure emptying trash
Running Onyx
Software update
Having fewer programs open
Deleting Illustrator preferences
Rebooting in safe mode
Identifying fonts with error in fontbook and removing them
Other programs seem to work OK.
I'm not sure what else to try, and help would be very much appreciated, thank you.

I'm not sure Adobe would like this, but it seems to be working for us on Mac OSX 10.9.3 and Illustrator CC 2014
Go to your user Library > Preferences folder and open com.adobe.mediabrowser.plist using TextEdit.
Select all the text and delete it.
Save the file
Get Info and lock the file.
I also removed the com.adobe.mediabrowser.plist.lockfile from the Preferences folder.
So far doing this really improves performance in Illustrator CC 2014. Opening and saving files happens at a reasonable rate; however there is a down side. Preferences no longer save. Changes made to pallettes, etc. have to be redone everytime Illustrator is opened.
Other posts mention having Verdana and Trebuchet installed. I didn't find this to help at all.

Illustrator CS4 stürzt beim öffnen einer PDF ab / Illustrator CS4 crashes while opening a PDF

Hallo liebe Community,
leider kann mir der telefonsiche support nicht weiterhelfen (Produkt ist zu alt), deshalb seid ihr nun meine letzte Chance!
Nun zu meinem Problem:
ich benutze seit einigen Jahren erfoglreich den Adobe Illustrator aus CS4 um PDF-Datein zu editieren.
Vor kurzem musste ich zusätzliche eine Software namens "FontExplorerX" installieren und seit dem habe ich das Phänomen, dass ich keine PDF-Dateien mehr mit Illustrator öffnen kann.
Der Illustrator startet ganz normal und ich kann mit anderen Dateiformaten ganz normal arbeiten, aber sobald ich eine PDF-Datei öffnen will friert das Programm ein und ich kann nichts mehr machen. Das erstellen von PDF-Dateien funktioniert hingegen normal.
Natürlich habe ich diesen "FontExplorer" dann wieder deinstalliert, leider blieb das Problem.
Auch eine Reinstallation des Illustrators, inklusive löschen der Voreinstellungen, brachte keine Abhilfe.
In der knowledge-base stand, dass man die Voreinstellungen löschen kann , was ich auch probiert habe, leider ohne Erfolg.
Nun weiß ich nicht mehr was ich noch probieren kann. Vielleicht hat jemand noch eine Idee was man ausprobieren könnte!?
Hier noch ein paar Infos zum System:
- Win7 x64
- Adobe CS4 Design Standard
- Illustrator CS4 Version 14.0.0
Vielen Dank im voraus für Anregungen und Tipps!
Fabian

Dear community ,
unfortunately the phone support can not help me (product is too old ), so now you are my last chance !
Now to my problem :
I have been using for several years Adobe Illustrator CS4 to edit PDF files .
Recently I had to install "FontExplorerX " and since this moment I have the phenomenon that I cannot open PDF files with Illustrator.
The illustrator starts normally and I can work normally with other file formats, but when I try to open a PDF file the program freezes and I can not do anything. The creation PDF files works normally.
Of course, I uninstalled the "FontExplorer", but the problem remained .
Also, a reinstallation of Illustrator, including deleting the preferences did not help.
The knowledge-base says that you can delete the default settings of Illustrator, which I also tried, unfortunately without success.
Now I do not know what else I can try. Maybe someone has an idea what else you could try?
Here is some information about the system :
- Win7 x64
- Adobe CS4 Design Standard
- Illustrator CS4 version 14.0.0
Thanks in advance for suggestions and tips!

I repaired permissions using my computer disk utility AND from my install DVD. Still not working! I also did a PRAM, that I read about on the internet...

Illustrator CS4 won't open any files since installing CS6

Every since I installed CS6, whenever I try to open files in Illustrator (all files, not just the new downsaved from CS6 files), the program goes into "Not Responding" and I can't do anything until I crash out. It also will not let me create new files.
I've tried deleting my Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder as I saw suggested in another discussion, but it did not help.
Since my CS6 trial is ending soon and I'm not sure about upgrading yet, I really need my CS4 to be functional.
I'm running WIndows Vista 64 bit. Never had any problems with Illustrator before this.
Any suggestions?

Ok, so I uninstalled Illustrator CS4, ran the CS Cleaner Tool, which messed up all my other CS4 programs, reinstalled the whole CS4 Suite, and Illustrator CS4 STILL won't open files (or allow me to create new ones). I only have two days left on my CS6 trial and I'm not sure if I'm upgrading right away, so I really need to figure out a way to make my AI CS4 work soon!

Illustrator CS4 makes invisible open paths with the 3D tools. We need a close paths feature.

Illustrator CS4 (mine is for Windows) is faulty in the 3D effect tools because of the invisible open paths it creates upon saving as EPS (or expanding the appearance). This is very dissapointing. My only hope of correcting this that is a free plugin and script that may or not be created by Graffix. Adobe probably can do this. : (
I also had this problem in CS.

Illustrator cs6 Can't open the illustration. Could not complete the requested operation.

Hi guys
I'm struggling with my Illustrator CS6. I hope you will help me.
When I try to open my project it says "Can't open the illustration. Could not complete the requested operation." After clicking ok my project is loaded WITHOUT one layer. I sacrificed a lot of time doing it and i don't want to start it over again. None of the ways to open it as older version of program work. I know that it can be recovered, because when I open the same project in After Effects all layers are loaded properly. If somebody know how to solve this problem please let me know asap.

Thanks, Monica, Ryan, and Mike. It helps to know that this is the best I'm likely to get, so I don't waste more time looking for a better solution.
I was able to place the file, then simply redraw or retype the broken parts on top of the placed art. Often, I could click into the placed art and copy contents from it. For type, though, I had to retype whatever got broken.
Since I posted my 1st comment here on Dec. 5, it happened to me again. Again, I had to reconstruct parts of it, the same way.
Sometimes, I save a file without PDF compatibility enabled, just to make it save more quickly. I'm glad I didn't do that with this file.

Illustrator CS4 can´t sometimes use some fonts

Hello I have a strange issue with illustrator CS4 under Adobe Creative Suite CS4 Design Premium, which is driving me really crazy. If I am trying to write some text using for example Titilium Font, Olijo or some other ttf and otf fonts, I can see them in font selection, but whe I change to them Illustrator automaticaly switch to Myriad Pro. Few minutes ago I have sucesfully written a text with Olijo font then I restarted computer and Illustrator refused to use the font next time. I do not know what is causing it because other programs Word, Excel, Photoshop, InDesign, Flash can use them font without any problems. This issue is happening randomly with random fonts only in Illustrator. It also happened once with Myriad Pro font Family. Anyone knows how can I solve this?
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and my custom fonts (bought and downloaded) are in the folder C:\Fonts, system fonts are in the folder C:\Windows\Fonts. For font managing I am using Bitstream Font Navigator.

You could check these knowledgebase articles on troubleshooting font problems:

Solved my Illustrator CS4 (Can not save file) issue (same as with Illustrator CS3)

Using Illustrator CS4, if the OS default printer is turned off, Illustrator will crash when saving the file to a name/format other than what it was opened as. I tested this and it's true, the bug exists in Illustrator CS4 (and was referenced in a ticket in this knowledge base on the CS3 product).
You'd think ADOBE would figure out how to DOCUMENT this feature!!
Set your default printer to ADOBE.PDF and all will be fine!

You do have to have a default printer how you were able to run Illustrator is a mystery unless they change this behavior in CS 3 which I was not aware of but perhaps it is something I forgot.
But I for one am glad you discovered the cause and cure and that you posted it, I don't have the problem but thank you.

Illustrator CS4 will not open in XP Professional

Hello,
Although I am running Windows XP Professional AI CS4 will not open on my computer.
Photoshop and InDesign work perfectly but Illustrator seems unable to recognize the XP operating system and gives an error message accordingly.
Please see the attachment.
If anyone has any ideas about how to cure this please tell me.
Thanks for your consideration,
cobaltgreen

If I recall correctly, the issue is introduced by an incorrect install/ update of .NET runtimes (one of the newer versions, 3.5 I think). I've seen the message myself on one of my systems, but I'm not really sure how I fixed it. Reason however dictates, that manually initiating a Windows Update or downloading .NET installers from Microsoft's pages, would be one thing to try. If the solution floats to the top from the murky depths of my brain, I'll report back.

Illustrator CS2 - can't open ANY .ai files

I am receiving the following error message when opening any Illustrator .ai files.    I can create one, close it and attempt to re-open and receive this message. I am using Illustrator CS2.
Can't open the illustration.   The illustration does not have the correct number of operands for an operator.
Offending operation: ","
Context:
% 0 /Real (/attributes/cppr.height),
% /Real (/attributes/ppr.image.bottom),
I have tried removing and re-installing Illustrator.   I removed my profile and re-added it...same problem.
Help!

Do you run any security tools (virus scanners etc.?) If so, either turn them off temporarily to test, create an exception rule to never scan AI files or at least configure them in such a way, that they scan files only when reading, not writing them. Additionally, simply do a little housekeeping. Download CCleaner and have it remove any temporary files you don't need anymore and clean out otehr garbage. After that, run a defragmentation (select your drive in Explorer, right-click --> Properties --> Advanced). That may help.
