Illustrator CS6 saving issue!

Hi,
I(and my colleagues) am having an Issue with CS6 when saving files. This has only happened over the past week or so yet we are unable to find a solution and need some help.
When saving a file using the 'Save' option (not 'Save As') the file is not staying at the size of the artboard as it should, it is however being aurtomatically cropped down to the actual artwork size. This is causing issues with the Process we work with as we need the file to stay at the artboard size.
If I click 'Save As' and change the Adobe PDF Preset to 'Press Quality' then this works, however this means that every file we save(which is quite alot in a day) means we have to go through the 'Save As' option and manually change each save.
Does anyone know why this has suddently started to happen with our Illustrators and do you know how to fix this so that it stays at the Artboard size when 'Save' is used?
I appreciate any help anyone can give on this.

Having the same problem with artboards and pdf's. Here is a screen shot of the issue.
PDF in Illustrator CC
Same PDF opened in Acrobat.
Any ideas?

Illustrator CS6 Keyboard Issue

Only in Illustrator, when I try to type a question mark, instead I get an 'É'... in fact I cannot seem to get the following characters at all:
/ is é
? is É
' is è
" is È
[ is ^
{ is ¨
] is ç
} is Ç
\ is à
| is À
and there are a few others as well. Have in inadvertently turned on glyphs from somewhere? As mentioned, this is only happening in Illustrator and before I trash my preferences I'd like to know if there is a solution.
Windows 7 Pro, Illustrator CS6 64-Bit
Thank you.

Harv,
It is amazing how many strangenesses may be cured by just that, the next step being to restart the computer, before trying the more serious things like resetting the preferences and worse.

Illustrator CS6 - saving to jpeg (distored)

Hi
I am new to Illustrator. I have designed a new logo using Illustrator CS6 to the best of my knowledge. I now need to create business cards etc for printing but when I save it to jpeg it becomes very distorted after the file is uploaded to the printing site. Even if I cut and paste to another artboard it become distored as well.
If anyone can please help me I am getting desperate to have this finished by today for a client.
Thanks.

Hi thank you for replying ... I used the default settings - added the text then drew the two figures - grouped and exported to a jpeg ... I am a total novice in Illustrator I normally use photoshop but need to make business cards, postcards and will upload the jpeg to vistaprint ...
the colours aren't the same as my original file (above) ... but when I upload to vistaprint it looks distorted ...
If you need more information can you let me know ... thank again

Illustrator CS6 color issues when saving JPG

I have recently gotten rid of the Pantone+ color books and replaced them with the old color books, using the "Workaround 1: Replace Pantone Plus with older Pantone color books" help from Adobe. Followed all of the instrauctions and had no issues until two weeks ago. Then suddenly when saving PDFs I had to start changing the output Color Conversion to ' convert to destination'. I never had to take this extra step before. Now if I do not do this it saves some colors as black. Whatever, I got over that and take the extra step.
TODAY, now I can't even save JPGs without color issues. Some JPGs save correctly. Then I use the same color in a different file, and it saves completely different. Same color profiles, swatch options, blah blah blah.
Someone help me. I am extremely fed up with these issues. Like everyone else, this is my job and now it is making a huge impact on my work...

What program are you using to view the PDFs?

Illustrator CS6 Stability Issues- crashing every 5 minutes

Hi All,
I've been having serious stability issues with Illustrator ever since I upgraded from CS5.5 to CS6. It crashes like every 5 minutes, mostly when I use the "nevigator" tool to pan to another area of the artboard. The windows messsage was something like "the program has stopped working".
I am really sick and tired of that and this is seriously affecting my productivity. Furthermore, does Illustrator has any auto recovery function?
Does anybody know what might be wrong? I am using Windows 7.
Grateful for your help.
Best,
James

I keep having the same problem. It would be half as bad if there was at least an auto recovery function.
Also on CS6 / Windows 7.

Photoshop cs6 saving issues

I recently updated photoshop CS6 and now I can only use the "save as" option. What did I do wrong?

Good day!
Please provide the potentially relevant information (exact Photoshop version, OS, hardware, saving across network vs. saving locally, error message, …).
When confronted with strange behaviour in Photoshop one can always try trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences one has changed.

64-bit Illustrator CS6 Print Issue

I'm having a major lag issue when printing directly from 64-bit Illustrator on Windows 7. When I try to print, the program locks up for 30 seconds before sending the print job. Not to mention that once the file does print the fonts get messed up as well. If I switch over to 32-bit Illustrator and print the same file, it's instant and everything is fine!
Any ideas? The printer is HP Color LaserJet CP4520 Series PCL6, and I'm pretty sure the drivers are up-to-date, but I'm printing over a network and HP support is a bit confusing.

After looking at some brief product copy from HP; it appears the driver supports 64-bit and works with Windows7. The lag and font corruption could be a network problem, perhaps how the code is interpreted and stored en route to its destination. You've stumped me.

Illustrator cs6 brushes issue - smudges

How can I change the brush settings to avoid the smuding of brushes at the bottom? Hard to describe but the way the line goes into a thick curvy part.
Easier to see what I mean from this picture, whilst im drawing it its ok, then it changes into smooth lines, even with no smoothing on? What can I do?
First image is complete, second whilst drawing:

PDF Saving issue in Illustrator CS6 (Mac)

I have trouble saving Acrobat 4 compatible PDF files in Illustartor CS6. The problem does not affect every file I try to save, but when saving from AI to PDF, heavier files tend to be hard to save. I select the "Save as" option, click PDF, choose my location, then in the dialog with the settings I choose the ones I need and hit enter. A progress bar appears and after a while it freezes on about 80% and never moves further. I am running Illustrator CS6 on a MacBook Pro Retina, 2.6 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, 8 GB RAM, OS X Mountain Lion. I have tried reinstalling Illustrator, saving to a different location and changing the settings. the only thing that worked for me was saving a Acrobat 5 or 6 compatible file, but this is not a solution, since I need the Acrobat 4 compatibility for a client. Thanks in advance.

You can open the PDF in Acrobat and save to Acrobat 4 compatibility, either through optimize or preflight. I would also ask the client why they want Acrobat 4 compatibility.

Illustrator CS6 is not saving files properly.

I'm having issues with Illustrator CS6 (16.0.0) saving my files properly. Let me give you some background here.
I work for a company that manufactures fishing lures. I have to create the product cards that these products are to be packaged. I use Illustrator CS6 to create my cards and I save a master file that includes the original text. From there, I save the file as an Illustrator CS3 file since most printers I dealt with don't have anything versions higher than CS3. I take these cards and convert the text to an object so that no one has to deal with fonts or mismatched font errors. After this, I create a PDF of that same file so that my contacts at the print shop can see the card files and keep a reference for themselves. On several occasions now, I've gotten emails from my clients saying that they need the necessary fonts to print these cards. I check my files that should now be all objects and its back to being font text again. I double check these files beore sending them but if I should have to close out these files and work on another project, then come back to files I've working on. The objects are now back to fonts again. All the while, I'm saving my progress. I've been bitten too many times on this in the past, so I'm a saving freak.
I'm using an iMac (2011) 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7 with 16 gig of RAM, 2 gig AMD Radeon HD 6970M graphics, several hard drives (most being network drives) including the 1TB HD that came with the computer, MacOS 10.8 (Mountian Lion) - the same occurs with any flavor of MacOS 10.7 (Lion) too.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Wayne

Wayne,
You have used Type>Create Outlines, with no live Type left behind (after saving the original artwork, of course), no?
What if you Save As PDF, thus embedding the font(s), and they take it from there?

Intermittent Bug when saving pdf files in Illustrator CS6

I save a pdf file in Illustrator CS6 with a specific art board size. When I open it in Acrobat the size is off. When our print's RIP's the file, it is off the same amount. I will re-open it in Illustrator and re-save it and just change the name, the artboard is then correct. This is very intermittent. It has happened on two copies of CS6. Both prograns are current with the updates. I am on a iMac running OS 10.6.8.

Document size is: 36.01 x 98.12
I can open up both documents in Illustrator and they are identical.
We have been using these presets for a couple of years without issue. The problem started happening about 3 weeks ago on 2 seperate computers. We have not seen the problem with CS5.5 and earlier.
Below are the preset settings summary:

Illustrator CS6 hangs saving files to local HD while having multiple server share points mounted

Mac OS 10.6
Illustrator CS6
Illustrator CS6 hangs (spinning beach ball) when saving files to the computer's local HD while having multiple server share points mounted.
I am NOT opening or saving the file to or from a server.
The server is mounted so that I can move my saved file to it once complete.
Unmounting the servers fixes the problem and Illustrator CS6 returns to being normal (not causing a spinning beach ball).
This is repeatable, not intermitent.

We were having similar issues working over a network. I believe it's a Mac OS 10.6 issue, something to do with the Mac finder searching for file dates or metadata on the servers. From what I understand, this has been fixed in OS 10.7. We can't yet move to 10.7 and after trying many possible fixes, found that a Mac finder alternative, Path Finder, fixed most server delays. It's not free, but you can give it a 30 day trial to see if it fixes your issue. Here is a link to discussions about other suggested fixes:

Issue with Illustrator CS6 - can't get it to run

Since a couple of weeks ago, I have an issue with Illustrator CS6 - can't get it to run When starting the application I get the following error:
"The procedure entry point ?AcquireVarient@ImageInterface@drawbot@dvaui@@QBE?BV?$intrusive_ptr@UImageInterface@drawb ot@dvaui@@@boost@@V?$rational@J@5@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library D:\Program Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe."
I'm running it on Windows 8 (x64). I have multiple other Adobe applications installed, which are running fine. I've tried solving the issue with reinstalling Illustrator - multiple times. My GPU driver is updated to the latest version.

I have this issue as well on my Mac and called tech support 4 times and they can't fix it. Adobe has really gone down hill in a short amount of time!!
Only thing that worked (as a temporary fix) is to create a new user and toggle back and forth between two users which is very annoying. Adobe has tried uninstalling, reinstalling, taking over my computer remotely, trashing plugins, verifying permissions but the fact remains that we bought CS6 four weeks ago and Illustrator doesn't work.
I'm going on Facebook to let others know.....don't buy Adobe, it doesn't work and they don't know how to fix.
