Illustrator CS4 file save problem

Recently, when I try to save an Illustrator file to a server or locally, instead of replacing the file, it shows this dialog and creates a duplicate with a "1" appended. Any ideas?

Ah, thank you! I never thought of that since I only have 1 artboard.
But I saved again under a different name and made sure it was unchecked. It worked!

  • Illustrator CS4 file save delay

    Hello,
    When I save a file out of Illustrator CS4 as an AI, EPS or PDF file it takes about 30 seconds for the Illustrator save options dialogue box to pop up. It does not matter how small or large the file is. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator with no sucsess. This just started happening within the last week with no changes to my system.
    Thank you,
    John Holland

    That was it! I changed my default printer back from the new network printer and the delay is gone! Thank you so much for your help.
    Sincerely,
    John

  • 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)?

  • Photoshop CS4 file saving problem...

    Photoshop CS4 file saving problem: When no file name is specified, Photoshop saves file to the root directory of the drive instead of the current folder. It auto names the image with the name of the folder that was active. Can this be fixed?
    BTW: I was using "save for web"--not sure if it that matters.

    Bug reports should go in the main forum.
    And yes, SFW has it's own file code so that is a very important detail.

  • PDF 'File Save' problem in Firefox

    Using Firefox browser, when I select a PDF file that opens in a new window [rather than a new tab], save it and close the window, the AcroRD32.exe process is not stopped.  If I then open another PDF file in a similar manner, it can not be saved.  Each time you close a PDF window, you have to go to Task Manager and stop the AcroRD32 process before being abl;e to save a subsequent document.  This does not happen with IE.
    Using Reader 10.1.1 and Firefox 8 on a Windows Vista32 system.

    Same bug i see in Opera browser. PDFs doesn't saves without stopping AcroRd32 process. And save dialogue doesn't appears when clicking links (even if web browsing function deactivated in adobe reader settings)...
    Apart from this File Save problem, there is more strange things while browsing PDF online, like "blinks", hangs, image dissapear, suddenly lags without any reason, browser crashing and more...
    So, because adobe reader prevents to download PDFs, and because it works very buggy with online browsing, especially if website uses adobe flash to show PDFs, the only right solution i found is uninstalling adobe reader. After that File Save problem was gone!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5m3TKrXE3g
    My AI file size was not going under 1 MB even by deleting extras so what I did is I opened a raster small image of 100 kb with Adobe Illustrator. then deleted the image and saved the file as AI. Then I Copied the whole vector content of original AI file that was bigger then 1 MB with ctrl+c command and pasted it in the new file created with raster image. and saved it. Wow the new file size is only 137 kb now.
    Thanks

  • Merge Illustrator cs4 file with new document

    Hi all,
    I recently got an 'unknown error has occured' with a file I have been working on in Illustrator CS4.  I remember there was a way where you could open a new Illustrator document and drag the file with the error into the new document, but from there I do not know how to merge this in where we can get back the layers and objects from the file with the error unto the new file.  Does anyone have some instructions on how to merge the document in?  Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I tried saving the file into a PDF after opening it up in Acrobat, but I got this error when trying to save "The document could not be saved.  There was a problem reading this document (109)."  But when I drag the file into a opened new document in Illustrator cs4, it would load up, however I don't know the steps to merge or group the objects and layers back into the new document.  Could anyone provide me the steps on how to do this?  Thanks.

  • CS4 files save to CS2?

    MAC
    OS 10.4.11
    CS4 InDesign    
    I am having a problem with saving files in InDesign CS4. Originally the computer had CS2 installed, then was upgraded to CS4 and ran fine. Recently I had to reinstall InDesign CS4 because of problems and ever since when I go to save it saves the files as CS2 files instead of CS4 (even though it says that the version is CS4 and CS2 can not open the files because of incompatibility error) I don't know if there are any real problems caused by this but it is frustrating and I was wondering what I should do.
    Thanks.

    Did you reinstall CS2 again after CS4? The icons on Mac really are meaningless -- it just shows the icon for the last version known to the OS.
    You probably should consider Soxy from Rorohiko.com

  • Premiere CS4 - File Linking Problems

    For some reason Premiere is mixing up my imported After Effects CS4 files.  For example, while Im working it will suddenly associate my After Effects file named "SceneA" with the file named "SceneB".  If I try importing "SceneB" again it brings in "SceneA" instead.  It will do this with several of my files and switch everything up.  Im only working with 4 After Effects files and am scared I'll have 20 or so files and it will start mixing those up, which will be a disaster.
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    I import several files straight into after effects for editing (multi tga, jpeg, psd, etc), then import the AE file straight in PrPro for ading text and organizing.  To work around the problem I had to put each AE file into different folders to keep PrPrp from mixing them up.  Never had this problem with CS3, but doesnt sound like anyone else is experiencing this, which leads me to believe its something with my computer, I dont know.
    I am running windows XP and have a second operating system (also windows XP) installed.  Had to work around a virus that took over my computer.  Could this be a contributing factor I wonder?  Would delete the 2nd operating system but it wont, so cant test that theory.

  • Illustrator CS4 File Not Found Issue

    I have always been able to Right Click and Open With Illustrator CS4 to open and edit PDFs.
    Recently I get an error window stating File Cound Not Be Found.
    I can open it with no issue going through the File>Open....preocedure.
    Ideas to fix?

    I deleted and attemped to recreate the file association.
    I had some success.  The file could not be found message is gone and Illustratro opens.  However, it open to a blank document with the start screen up.
    It is the same thing as if i had just opened Illustrator from the .exe icon, but the file I wanted to work with does not appear, so i then have to go through the open command and find the file.
    Suggestions please?

  • Saving Illustrator CS4 file to PDF for printing. NO FORUMS CAN HELP

    I have put threads on the PDF forum, they told me to put it on Illustrator forum and still know one has an answer, Tried to contact Adobe about this and just got a run around. Can anyone please help?
    My problem results from when I save my file from Adobe Illustrator to a PDF for printing. After saving from Illustrator to a PDF and proofing it on screen all my gradients and other elements are where I need them to be on the page. But when I upload them to my printing company template all the gradients and so on are not even close to be in the right spot. How can I solve this problem, Is there a new setting in CS4 I need to know? Because I never had this problem with Illustrator CS3.

    Hi Reggie,
    I'm far from an Illustrator expert, but let's see if we can gather som more information form you that might help me, or someone else, figure out what's going wrong. Can you post a screnn capture of the arwork in Illustrator so I can see what the gradients are and how they're positioned? Use the little camera Icon thing in the toolbar above the message editing space on the web page.
    Next, tell us about the printer's template. What application is it made in? What version?
    What version of Illustrator and what OS are you using to create your art?
    Is it only the gradients that are in the wrong place? Maybe a screen shot of that would help too.

  • Illustrator CS4 photoshop plugin problem

    Hi! I have problem with Adobe Illustrator CS4plugins: PhotoshoExport.aip and PhotoshopImport.aip. Illustrator cannot read it and I cannot work with graphics included links to external graphic files. What should I do? Does anyone know how to resolve this problem? Please help. Here is a screenshot below. This is a screenshot of alert shown after the application was started.

    Kris,
    I believe there are different experiences with CS4 and Yosemite out there. You can see, and follow, this thread about another issue:
    CS4 not running on Yosemite - requiring Java SE 6 runtime, but I've got Java 8. Help?
    According to Roaringapps,
    http://roaringapps.com/apps?index=a
    CS3 and CS5 are reported to work on Yosemite, while CS4 is greyed out; I guess that means inconclusive.

  • Adobe CMM and Photoshop CS4 File Info problems

    I installed the Adobe Color Management Module several days ago.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3618
    Today when I opened the File Info dialog in Photoshop CS4,I got a blank black window. Same went for the Kuler window and other extensions under the Window menu. Other panels such as the palettes and toolbox were fine.
    I went through reset prefs,reinstalled PS,and reinstalled my video driver.
    Same problems.
    Uninstalled the Adobe CMM and the panels returned to normal.
    I don't know exactly what happened,but something this forum should know about.

    Chris,I downloaded and reinstalled the CMM and the problem repeated.
    File Info: blank, as well as the Kuler, and Connect extensions under the Windows menu. Additionally,any custom panels installed via Configurator also went blank.(although I had uninstalled those on my first round of troubleshooting)
    Again as soon as I uninstalled the CMM,I got the File Info, Kuler, and Connect windows back.
    This is on a Toshiba A205-S5843 running Vista SP1
    I also tried the CMM on a Toshiba A75 (Windows XP)with a trial of CS4 Extended. There were no problems on that configuration with the CMM installed.
    I don't know what it is,but thought it should be passed along.
