Illustrator CS5 won't print Wysiwyg

So I
have a broschure that I have made that tri-folds. There are 3 columns of text. and a nice pad of untouched area all the way around the brochure.It looks fantastic while in illustrator. But do an export image or a straight to printer and it is as if the image has enlarged taking up every inch of paper. I've tried using the letter size, I've tried borderless printing. In the print dialogue My image looks larger than the bounding box. Speaking of which is not grabable and therefore not adjustable

Interesting about that dotted line. The printer is an HP Photosmart 7760 series that worked perfectly under XP. The printer is older thatn Win7. So. It could be that the Win7 drivers are just basic enough to sort of work in Win 7. That totally blows. Now, not only do I need to go get a new scanner But I also must get a new printer. @#&%!!!!!
I had already started a brand new doc making sure the artboard was letter size and I still got the same result. Now I know why.

Indesign CS5 won't print specific pages within document

I'm working on Indesign CS5. The issue is with a specific document, and just started happening on version 11. All previous versions of the file have printed with no problems. I have so far determined that it is a document level problem as I can print other documents in Indesign with no issues. I have also determined which pages are giving me an error message: I can print all but one spread of this 16-page document. For example, it will print pages 1-9 and 12-16, but will not print 10-11. It gives it a try, and then gives me an error message box that just reads "error: " with no code or explaination. Any one else out there experienced this or know what's going on? There's no overset text, unlinked graphics or missing fonts, if that helps. Also, I'm working on a mac.
Edit: I have also already tried different print settings, and repasting everything into a new document that I created.

If that doesn't work, move the pages from spread to a new document so you can play without risking the file you have now. First, try to print the spread as-is, then if it doesn't print remove half the objects and try again. If the file prints without removing anything, then move all the pages fromthe old file to a new one and save with a new name, then try again. If you have to remove objects, there is probably a problem with one of the objects on the spread. You'll bew able to isolate it very fast by dividing the group of things that won't print in half, then dividing the half that won't print, and so on.

Illustrator CS5 won't open after using trial version of CC

I tried the CC version of Illustrator and once it expired, I am now unable to open any of my files from my previous CS5 version . Message
I get is --quote: This is an Adobe Illustrator file that was saved without pdf content. To place or open this file in another application,
it should be re-saved from Adobe Illustrator with the "Create PDF compatible file" option turned on. This option is in the Illustrator Native
Format options dialog box which appears when saving an Illustrator file using the Save As command---end quote.
I am not trying to open the files in another application. I'm trying to open them in Illustrator CS5. Since I'm unable to re-save the files,
I can't turn on the Create PDF compatible file option. None of my files will open.
Can someone help?

The Illustrator file format is not downwards compatible.
You would have needed to save the files to the CS5 version.

PS CS5 won't print after uninstall of old printer

I am running PSCS5 and today I uninstalled my old printer and I am unable to print to my new printer. The printer works for all other apps so it is Adobe PS that has the issue. How can I troubleshoot this please.
Every time I try to print it just closes out and gives me a issue window. I installed the trial for CC thinking it would clear up the preferences or something maybe but CC only puts out blank pages with nothing on the paper. Is there a place that I can delet the old printer from my CS5?

What printer? What OS? Did you install the most recent driver after you uninstalled the printer?
Your post does nothing to help us help you...you want help? Give all of your info...

Updates for Illustrator CS5 won't install

Hi. I'm using Illustrator CS5 and I found a problem (a secondary problem here) with exporting PNG files (some weird white or black lines appear in the output), so I searched and learned that updating might help. I tried at first by going to Help > Updates... but it failed; then I downloaded the update manually and run it, but it failed too, with the error code U44M2P7.
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
Thanks in advance!

Also this is true for any of my / the kids apple products such as the ipod 2nd Gen Touch.

Illustrator cs5 won't draw ellipses

My Illustrator cs5 doesn't draw ellipses and rectangles, only perfect circles and squares. Don't know how to disable this... Please HELP!!

You might not see the connection but everything is connected on a computer. All applications share certain directories and one of the is the users Preference Folder and that can get corrupt. How that works is if there is something wrong with the code and it sends a message to the system that when performing this task you have to so do it in this way and if the code on one of these preferences tells the system enter here for instructions and instructions say copy and then sends the system back to illustrator and now the system sees it as if illustrator said copy…well it does jus that it copies even though it might have been a software for controlling the lights in your home.
As far as more than one person doing the same thing, I recall once being on a beta team for a small utility type software which required that you install it without any virus protection or firewall running. There was a tester who felt they could not risk turning off the firewall or the virus protection because of their valuable data.
Of course they had problems installing the application, they could not install it at all. But they did not tell us they had the virus protection or the firewall running
even though we asked several times, and surprisingly so did several other uses, all of course using Windows in this case, and all using the same virus protection and the same firewall and all failing to tell other testers who were trying for two months to assist them to install the application.
This one lead person finally confessed the situation and when told they were wasting everyone times because that was clearly against instruction and it was known it would not install their response was they should not have told us because they knew we would blame them instead of the obvious bug in the software even though hundred other testers had no problem installing the software on the same system by turning off the fire wall and the virus protection.
Of course the testers who told them they were wasting everyone times were all thrown off the testing team and the more than one psycho remained on the team even though they refused to turn off the virus protect. So not only were these users psycho so were the people running the testing program.
That has been my experience.
I'll explain about a different but similar issue that has been resolve in another response

Illustrator CS5 won't stay open it shuts down when started?

I have the CS5 creative suite and I bought it when it was first available. I have used it for several years with no major problems. In the past two days every time I start up my Illustrator program it goes through all the start up proceedures and as soon as it has come up it shuts the program down. I am on a MAC and I am experienced with the computer.

Hi again,
OK, I added a new user account and Illustrator opened just fine in the new account. Can you tell me why and what I will have to do in the original account to get Illustrator to work again?

Illustrator CS5 won't save as PDF

My first post.
Running AI CS5.5. All of a sudden, when I "save as" to a pdf file, the pdf content is not saved. Instead, when the file is opened, the actual document says "This is an Adobe Illustrator file that was saved without PDF Content. To place or open the file in other applications, it should be resaved from AI with the "Create PDF Compatible File" option turned on. This option is in the Illustrator Native Format Options dialog bos, which appers when saving an Adobe Illustrator file using the Save As command."
I understand what these directions are saying, and I can do it that way, but the file cannot be opened by someone without AI.
This used to work so easily! Save As, choose pdf in the drop down, it adds .pdf to the file name, done!
Can anyone tell me what made this change? Two days ago it worked fine, and I didn't change anything (knowingly).

Oh, probably just a distiller hiccup. Glad to hear it works now. I have had my share of Adobe background processes problems, too, and I wouldn't have thought to reboot right away either. Make sure to mark this question 'answered' when you get a chance.

InDesign CS5 Won't Print Duplex

Hi,
I have InDesign CS5 and a Laserjet 2605DN printer. I printed duplex pages using InDesign with no problem on my old computer (Windows Vista) but now that I have another computer with Windows 8, I not able to print duplex.
There's no two-sided option available in InDesign's print dialogue. I have to choose "Setup," where a popup states, "If the desired print setting is available in InDesign's print dialogue box, please set it there to avoid printing conflicts."
I can print duplex from Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Word... just not InDesign. I've searched for solutions, but haven't found anything related to InDesign. I'm hoping someone here can offer some help.
I don't understand why InDesign wouldn't have a duplex option available in its print dialogue box like other programs do.
Help, please...
Thank you.

Okay, I read through a couple of "More Like This" posts mentioned on the right-hand side of this forum and one post mentioned setting the paper size as "Defined by Driver." When I checked my setting, I saw it was already showing "Defined by Driver." So, I changed it to "Letter." And that solved the problem; I'm able to print duplex now, thankfully. I hadn't even noticed the paper size wasn't showing letter to begin with.
Hopefully this might be of help to someone else now.

Illustrator CS5 will not print full file

I'm trying to print drawings made in autocad that were modified in illustrator, when I go to print the file ends up stoping halfway through the page. This is infrequent, some times files work and sometimes they don't, aswell often times when files don't print correctly, the title blog will appear at the end of the page.
Specs:
Windows 7 64
Illustrator CS
Printer:
Xerox Work centre 7556

Is Print Tiling on (View > Show Print Tiling)? If not, turn it on. The printable part of the page may not be where you expect it to be.

Illustrator CS5 won't save pie chart

I created a pie chart in Illustrator 5 using a much-loved Veerle tutorial ... drew a square, entered my data, created pie, applied gradient colors and a 1 pt white stroke between the pieces. Hit save, and got this message: "Can't save the file." That's it. No reason, no funny sequence of numbers and letters denoting an error. Thought maybe my gradients used too large a spectrum of color, but even after I applied plain colors I got, "Can't save the file."
Is this a version 5 glitch, or am I doing something wrong? The workaround was to enter data and create the pie only, then move it to InDesign for the remaining steps. But, if anyone knows why I couldn't save a color pie chart in Illustrator, I'd appreciate knowing, too! Thanks.

I'm having similar problems, and can't seem to find any answers online anywhere - though I am seeing comments elsewhere that indicate I'm not alone. This thread is the closest I've come! I'm hoping somone can shed some light on this. (I am working in CS5 as well)
I've created my pie charts, and then cannot do anything else (except change the data numbers). I would like to do a 3D effect - and can't, all of my menus are grayed out. I couldn't even expand or un-group if I wanted to. I can't copy, paste or delete the charts either.
I've been using illustrator for many years, and haven't come across a problem like this before.

Mac OSX/CS5; Won't print

CS5/Mac OSX: Will not print on Canon d420 or Epson 1400. - other applications (Office) work fine. Adobe soft ware does not recognize printer connection. Nothing seems to work

Which Adobe software specifically are you referring too? Also what version of Mac OS are you currently using?

Hi, got myself into a pickle Adobe Illustrator CS3 won't print

it seems that when I go to print Ai simple keeps spinning until I get a message that Ai quit then the source page comes up and Ai shuts down.
I successfully uninstalled Version CS3. Wanted to also take out Bridge CS3 but didn't... pulled it out to the desk top then replaced it back in applications. Which did nothing for Ai.
Since I work primarily Ai and Photoshop (both CS3) I'm stuck. I did locate my startup disc's and I know how to open it "safe mode" I would like to re-install Ai CS3 ...(photoshop is working ok) don't know if I first have to disable or uninstall Ai? and, I'm not sure if this is the right way to go.. Any help is greatly appreciated - awaiting your brilliance Barb (oh and I'm a girl - old but a girl) haha

Hi Barb,
Try a simple Safe Boot first off...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
If that doesn't change anything...
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

i'm running cs3 on 64-bit vista. i can't get file to print to pdf. as suggested on other forums; I tried changing default printer to pdf, xps doc writer and my regular canon printer. I've even tried disabling automatic spooling but then all my printers disappear. does anybody have any suggestions/ solutions to this problem?

Illustrator CS5 won't honor my startup file in OS 10.8

It took me awhile to find the startup file so that I could empty out all of the swatches and stuff. So I finally found the Basic CMYK.ai file. I opened it and made all my edits to it. I saved the file and quit Illustrator. Now when I open Illustrator and create a new CMYK file none of the changes I made to the startup took, as in all my color swatches, brushes and everything like that are still there, but when I go back to the Basic CMYK.ai file it is correct. It is the way I left it.
I illustrate artwork for textbooks and I dont want to have to remove all those unneeded swatches everytime I create a new file. Please help.
Mac OS 10.8.2

Normally I would change the startup in users/NAME/library/application support
But in OS 10.8 there is no library visible in users. So I changed the startup that I could find, which was the one in the main library.
