Illustrator CS4 - saving to FXG version 2

I have Illustrator CS4, which saves as FXG version 1.
Is there an update for CS4 that allows me to save as FXG version 2?

Thanks for your response. I looked but doesn't look like there are updates for this.
Yeah, I participate in the Adobe Flex forum, so I know how it works. Many questions go unanswered or under-answered, but I know often its not because no-one knows.
I know its a user forum, but Adobe employees do often provide answers others do not address. Its not their obligation, but it certainly helps. I worked at Adobe 9.5 years, so I know they sometimes try to do great things.

  • Illustrator CS4 - Saving Buttons Created in Illustrator CS4

    How do I save a created button in Illustrator cs4 without the whole page - just the button - it was straightforward in illustrator CS3.

    I don't understand your question. In all version of Illustrator you always save the whole page. Do you mean Export? What format? How are you exporting? Are you using Save for Web? Did you turn off Crop to Artboard? Have you tried resizing the artboard to the size of hte button?
    Also, the whole purpose of this forum is to provide help for users of Illustrator. Please try to include some hint about your problem in the title of your post. Imagine if everyone did what you did, calling their posts "Illustrator CS" or "Illustrator CS3". How much fun would it be to go back and check your responses, when there are dozens of posts with the same title?

  • 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!

    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.

  • Illustrator CS4 saving two copies of EPS each time

    Hi all. My copy of Illustrator CS4 for Mac has recently started saving two copies of every EPS file that I save – eg. if I create an illustration, then choose "Save as" and save my file, I get "name.eps" and "name-01.eps". Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi Scott,
    "Use Artboards" was checked, and unchecking it has solved the issue – although I was only using one artboard.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Illustrator CS4: Exporting as cropped image, unable to define Crop Area or Crop to Artboard

    Preface: I am using Adobe Illustrator CS4 Design Premium, Windows version.
    I am currently designing some projects in Illustrator CS4. I am NOT using multiple artboards, only one. On previous versions of Illustrator, users could simply Export> an image as a JPG, and the image would be appropriately cropped to either the Document size, or predetermined Crop Area marks which were easily chosen in the Object dropdown menu.
    Since the ever useful Object > set cropmarks function was removed with the advent of CS4, I am unable to Export an Illustrator file as a high-res JPG or TIF using the supposed Artboard as the cropmarks. In other words, when trying to export my project, the saved/exported image includes all content placed in the document, even material that extends beyond the Document size or Artboard size. Why is this? What am I overlooking?
    In the Artboard dialogue or settings, I cannot locate any option to set the Artboard as the default crop area for Exporting, saving, and printing, etc.
    After doing a bunch of research trying to find a fix, I have only discovered that there are thousands of other people posting on various forums regarding this same issue, so I think a detailed and complete explanation or instruction on how to do this would be very helpful and appreciated.
    Other than in the Save For Web & Devices settings, there seems to be no options to Export using cropmarks, or export a file to be properly cropped to the Artboard dimensions. Again, I know this function is possible when Saving for Web, but not with a normal high resolution Export as a flattened image such as a jpg... or at least I can't find out how.
    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Yeh this is pathetic and in my opinion a bug or false advertising. Since they haven't fixed it i believe this is false advertising and misleading for users who may have upgraded for this "feature".
    I do know some CS2 users who are holding out from upgrading for this reason!!
    I wonder what CEO's or higher ups would say if they heard or could understand this issue...How does program loose features meanwhile Adobe has how many billions in resources to fix these type of issues for their users who paid a pretty solid chunk for software that should work properly.
    Need some competition to fire them up! (any alternatives to illustrator anyone actually using?)

  • How can you create a swatch from a jpeg in Illustrator CS4?

    I am trying to create a jpeg image into a swatch in Illustrator CS4. In previous versions you could simply drag the image into the swatches toolbar and it would convert it automatically. Now when I do that nothing happens. When I click on new swatch it creates a colour swatch instead of the actual image itself.

    When you say you would drag the image itself into the Swatch Palette and it would show the image itself? How would then use this swatch? Can you give an example of what you would apply a jpeg to as a swatch? The only palette that I can think of off the top of my head that you can drag a jpeg into and have the icon appear as the jpeg is the Symbols Palette. Is is possible that you were using the Symbols Palette in the past and not the Swatch Palette?

  • Export CMG from Illustrator CS4

    Is it possible to export a CMG file format from illustrator CS4 or any earlier versions of illustrator.

    Describe EXACTLY (step-by-step) what you are doing. Your description is ambiguous.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    aren't pixels  the same?
    Depends. If you are talking about "pixels" in reference to Illustrator's page rulers, no. Setting Illustrator's rulers to "pixels" does not set them to pixels. It sets them to Points. For example, if you..:
    1. Import a 100 x 100 px PNG file into Illustrator.
    2. Scale it to 50%.
    ...then Illustrator's rulers, set to "pixels" will indicate that the PNG "measures" 50 px. Illustrator's rulers are displaying an object measure, not the number of actual pixels contained in a raster object.
    If you are talking about exporting an Illustrator file as a PNG, then its number of pixels will depend on the settings you use when you export.
    So again; describe fully and precisely what you are doing.

  • Can files created in cs5.5 design premium be saved so they open in Photoshop CS2 or Illustrator CS4?

    Can files created in cs5.5 design premium be saved so they open in Photoshop CS2 or Illustrator CS4?

    Yes, you can save compatible files as long as you obey the rules like not using unsupported features such as nested groups, per group clipping masks, smart objects and several other things in Photoshop and use the "Maximize Compatibility" option. Illustrator will simply expand the appearance of objects or rasterize/ flatten them when going back to older versions if a feature is not available or changed in those old versions.

  • 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!

  • Why does Illustrator CS4 merge layers when saving document?

    Woking in Illustrator CS4, I have a document with four layers.  The first three contain (1) Background (2) Background effects (3) Pictures and the (4) contains text.  When I save the document and then re-open it, all the layers have been merged into the latest, 4th layer.  All the previous layers are empty.  It's as if everything has been grouped into the text layer, no element can be independently selected, and it is therefore impossible to do further work on the document.
    Can anyone tell me why this is happening?  Am I not saving this correctly?
    And even more important, is there any way of restoring the different layers once this has happened?

    Can anyone tell me why this is happening?  Am I not saving this correctly?
    Well, to what format are you saving? The native AI format should always retain layers. Other formats such as EPS or older PDF Levels may indeed enforce flattening. also make sure you are not confusing layers with groups/ objects. There's a crucial difference between the two.
    And even more important, is there any way of restoring the different layers once this has happened?
    Well, you can manually add new layers and drag&drop your objects and groups into the new layers in the layers panel, but if you save it again to the wrong file format, that is wasted effort, so for the life of it make sure you get that figured out first.

  • PDF Forms + Illustrator CS4 (losing form functionality after saving in Illustrator CS4)

    I have a form set up that I use to keep information about various projects. The form was created in Illustrator CS3 and Acrobat Pro 8. Previously, data could be entered on the form by another Acrobat user, then opened in Illustrator CS3 by the artist to add artwork to the document. While open in Illustrator, none of the information entered on the form would be visible (the form would appear blank), but after saving the document and opening it in again in Acrobat Pro, both the artwork from Illustrator would appear and the information in the form fields would still be present as well as editable.
    Now I take the same form, I can fill out the data fields in Acrobat Pro 9, save, then add artwork in Illustrator CS4 and save it, all form data is lost and I'm not able to add anything to it in Acrobat Pro 9. (Illustrator seems to be breaking the form and wiping out any info that was previously entered onto the form).
    Any ideas on how to get around this? I tried taking the original document and running it through the forms wizard to sort of re-make the form in Acrobat 9, but I still lose form functionality and information once I save it in Illustrator CS4.

    Actually found a SOLUTION!
    I guess in Adobe infinite wisdom and my lack of formal training in adobe acrobat
    i was unaware of the TouchUp Object Tool (Tools>Advanced Editing>TouchUp Object Tool) it allows you to delete images and Place new images (although doesn't allow placement of .ai or .eps, just compressed images)
    Can also nudge and remove other objects.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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"?

  • 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
