Adobe Illustrator CS5 - Missing required plugins.BrS pencil tool/will not open program

Hi!
We hve downloaded a trial version of Adobe Illustrator CS5 and we are not able to open it. We followed Step 1 and Step 2 and then opened up the Zip version.I also have Windows Vista Home Premium Copyright 2007.
Would anyone know how I can access it?
Jana

Reinstall the app with proper admin privileges and also do run it that way. Sounds very much liek mundane permissions issues where some things don't get installed and/or the program cannot establish its user-specific configuration...

dahlberg,
This is the second report about that issue today.
I am unsure whether the suggestion in the first case will help, but you may try:

CS5 - Missing required plugins error

Hi,
I have completely new installation of Windows 7 x64 on my harddrive and I have installed trial version of Adobe Illustrator CS5. However, when I launch it, it gives me this error:
when I click ok, it gives me this:
and after clicking ok: Adobe Illustrator CS5 has stopped working...
how to fix it? I have already tried this http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331889.html but anything there was helpful
thanks

Just re-install wont help.
You need to:
1) uninstall AI with the oprion checked to remove preferences in uninstall options screen(This is important, you need to check the option otherwise you may have to do it again.)
2) go to C:\Program Files\Adobe and delete the left over Adobe Illustrator CS5 folder
3) Install AI again. now go ahead and launch AI.
Thanks,
Anirudh

Illustrator "missing required plugins, PDF SUITE"

Is this a liscencing issue with creative cloud? It started happening after acrobat started to not work because of that liscencing bug. However I'm currently signed into the cloud, acrobat is working, illustrator still isnt
hmm: that plugin was 0kb in the required folder. I just copied it from the x86 folder and the same error on the PDFformat plugin. I'm currently uninstalling it. ho hum

reinstall seemed to work, I wonder what that was about?

When I try to open my AI CS6 "missing required plugins" and "PDF Format.aip" comes up I click ok and the application stops. Not opening What can I do?

Matilda,
You may need to reinstall, using the full three step way:
Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

HELLO ALL, I HAVE A POP UP ON ILLUSTRATOR SAYING MISSING PLUG IN SAYING MISSING PDF FILE FORMAT AND THIS IS STOPPING ME OPENING ILLUSTRATOR PLEASE HELP

Hello all
Trying to work on illustrator but pop up states i have a plug in missing called pdf file format cannot seem to sort problem, please help, working on mac

Reinstall the program. This is caused by incompatible updates to Acrobat/ Adobe Reader that introduce new versions of the globally shared PDF libraries.

Error message: "Missing required plugins" - Illustrator CS4 will not load OS X 10.4.11

The install went fine but when I go to load the program I get the an error saying I am missing required plugins (artconverters.aip, pdf format.aip, & rasterize.aip). If I open the package content in finder I can clearly see these files there. I am running OS X 10.4.11
Any insight would be great. I have tried a full uninstall & reinstall, the problem is still there. I would really like to be able to run my software.

Did you do a search this was recently posted and there was an answer to this as well.

Error message: "Missing required plugins" - Illustrator CS3 will not load

I am running CS3 Web Prem on Vista, dual core Athlon with 2g Ram.
Illustrator has stopped working - gives error message: "Missing required plugins. Pathfinder Suite." Or it says "Missing required plugins. ArtConverters.aip PDFformat.aip Pathfinder suite.aip Rasterize.aip"
I have tried the suggestions from knowledge base article - I have tried deleting AIprefs; I have also tried in new user account - initially worked but not on opening program a second time. I have also re-installed Illustrator.
Any other solutions?

Glad to hear it.
Not sure what possible nuances to performance or memory management there may be to running in compatibility mode. Since I can't run in any other mode, it is hard to make a comparison.
It seems to run fine though, for me.
There should be a Windows Update that came out in the last day or so that is supposed to address this issue (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947562). At least thats what it says.
BUT, after that fiasco with SP1, I am real reluctant to do any more updates.
SP1 toasted my ability to connect with network resources, external and some internal hard drives, ALL my USB equipment failed to connect anymore. I removed SP1 (uninstalled it per the instructions on the MS KB) but that process trashed the OS and required a complete clean re-install of Vista. A week later I am pretty much back to where I should be (see, my system backups were with SP1. Brilliant, eh?).
Still have to run many so-called "Vista Compatible" applications in this compatability mode though.

Missing required plugins BRS Pencil Tool ExpendS. Anyone

Hi all,
My Illustrator CS5 cannot open anymore because the required plugin BRS Pencil Tool ExpendS is missing.
Is there anyone who has occurred the same problem before? Where can I download the missing plugin? Is there a fast way to get it up and running?
Thank you for your help, I am not an expert and shall appreciate your suggestions on this forum.
Best wishes,
Simone

Not sure it exactly the same (this mentions CS2/3) but...

When I try to open one particular file, I get the following message:
"Acrobat pdf file format is having difficulties. Object label badly formatted."
I've seen some discussions about this error msg previously, but only when using CS4, and everyone was referring to some type of "suitcase fusion", which I am not using.
Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated

I created the file in Illustrator CS5 and saved it as an .ai file.
It does not open in Acrobat or Reader... not sure what other programs you think I should try?
It's basically a bunch of lines and some text... the text is a Font that we use here at the MTO (FHWA)
This is the first time I've ever had this problem.
The weird thing is if I try to open the file in Illustrator by clicking "File", then "Open..." and then highlight the file in the "Open Dialog Window", I can see a preview of the file. But then when I finally click "open" in the dialog window, I get that error message?

Statement of Accounts Output to PDF file format and email to customers

Hi,
Would appreciate inputs from contributors on the issues/requirements below.
I have two requirements regarding the output of Customer Statement Of Accounts (form):
1. The output is to be in Adobe PDF file format;
2. The file has to be emailed automatically to customers based on the email address maintained in the Customer Master;
I envisage that the program would be executed online (on demand) or in the background via scheduled jobs. Due to complexity of the customer's requirements, we will be using a customized program to generate the form.
I am not familiar with both requirements. Would appreciate contribution on how to set up the above.

Acrobat PDF FIle Format is having difficulties...

I've got an error that appears pretty reliably. I open a multi-page PDF file in Illustrator, choosing one page to edit. I save that page with a new name as a PDF file, and that works fine. Now, if I edit the file at all and save it again, I get "Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties. Bad parameter." And there's no way to save the file.
If I close without saving and open the single-page PDF file again, it usually behaves well. But any time I get that message I lose all of the unsaved changes and have to repeat them.
I'm using CS3, version 13.0.2. OS 10.4.10. Any assistance is appreciated...

I've had the same problem in various versions of Illustrator on the Mac, up to and including CS3. Based on the previous comment, this appears to happen only if your Illustrator document starts life as a generic PDF file. So this is my solution (which worked today for me).
Make sure all layers are visible and unlocked.
Copy all your artwork to the clipboard (Select -> All then Edit -> Copy, or cmd-A then cmd-C)
Create a new document with the same dimensions as your original one.
Show the layers palette, and choose "Paste Remembers Layers" from the popup menu.
Paste your artwork into the new document (Edit -> Paste or cmd-V)
Save the new document.
You should be able to edit and re-save the new document whenever needed after that, although you may find that the file is larger than the original one.
