  • Illustrator CS6 won't open.. Help!

  • Illustrator CS6 Saving to PDF Gradient Problems HELP!!!

    Im trying to export an illustrator CS6 document to PDF but whenever i export it the gradients within the document turn nearly sold. On the screen it looks fine. have changed the transparency in the document set up to high res but still, nothing changes. Does anyone have any idea?

    Here you can find adjusted file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/275719/FTPlinks/test.ai
    Keep in mind i did not have the links, so it is without the links.
    Problem was buildup of your file.
    Black in your backround was in 4 sepparations and the circular gradient is black only. I adjusted background to black only.

  • New Image Trace in Illustrator CS6 | Visual Design CS6 | Adobe TV

    Product manager Brenda Sutherland Convert shows how to convert raster images to editable vectors using a completely new tracing engine in Illustrator CS6.
    http://adobe.ly/IKo2Vu

    While the Help videos are fun to watch, they are NOT AT ALL helpful.  Imagine yourself as a new user  (or a user migrating up from CS3-CS5 to Cloud CS6) who wants to learn how to use Illustrator Image Trace (or find where it was moved for this release) .   Now, watch the videos currently posted.  Where is this command located?  Where are the presets located?  Where are the tools located?  It seems the demonstrators are right clicking on the mouse and  using keyboard shortcut commands. which do not "show" on the video.  Do we really need 12 minute videos? 
    As a long time user and sometime trainer, text instructions are much faster to search/read/refer and easier to remember than flashy graphics, loud music and a talking head.   
    The Adobe website forces users to be caught in a Contact Us loop when looking for help.  For example, I spent 20 minutes looking for a printed version of a help file, 20 minutes in a chat session with a customer service rep who eventually gave me a number to call, then 57 minutes on the phone with a technician who was not familiar with the issues or the software.  He did, however, help me find the PDF help file but we were unable to search for the words Paint or Trace ... until he looked it up (Ctl F).  In fact, the only way to search the PDF file is to download it to the user's hard drive and use the Find command (Mac/PC).  This was only for Illustrator.  Same story for Photoshop (issue resolved by reinstalling) and In Design.
    Honestly, the entire Creative Cloud experience has truly been frustrating - from download to support.  If cars were like computers, we'd still be driving horse and buggies.

  • Illustrator cs6 Can't open the illustration. Could not complete the requested operation.

    Hi guys
    I'm struggling with my Illustrator CS6. I hope you will help me.
    When I try to open my project it says "Can't open the illustration. Could not complete the requested operation." After clicking ok my project is loaded WITHOUT one layer. I sacrificed a lot of time doing it and i don't want to start it over again. None of the ways to open it as older version of program work. I know that it can be recovered, because when I open the same project in After Effects all layers are loaded properly. If somebody know how to solve this problem please let me know asap.

    Thanks, Monica, Ryan, and Mike. It helps to know that this is the best I'm likely to get, so I don't waste more time looking for a better solution.
    I was able to place the file, then simply redraw or retype the broken parts on top of the placed art. Often, I could click into the placed art and copy contents from it. For type, though, I had to retype whatever got broken.
    Since I posted my 1st comment here on Dec. 5, it happened to me again. Again, I had to reconstruct parts of it, the same way.
    Sometimes, I save a file without PDF compatibility enabled, just to make it save more quickly. I'm glad I didn't do that with this file.

  • "Output to Swatches" feature in Illustrator CS6

    Hi. Can you tell me if the "Output to Swatches" feature is still available in Illustrator CS6 (image trace options)? The online help states that it should be but it's not there anymore.. http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tracing-artwork-live-trace-or.html#tracing_option s
    Thanks

    Hi Relaxtension
    The online help which you have listed is for Illustrator CS5 and Illustrator CS4. In Illustrator CS6 this option is not available and to achieve this you have to expand the traced art and then create "New Color Group" using the Swatches panel from the selected artwork (expanded artwork).
    Regards,

    Only creative cloud subscribers get the new features. If you were a Cloud subscriber your version would be 16.4.0 not 16.0.4.

  • Illustrator CS6 wont open, stops at loading fonts - MAC OSX

    I have a MAC OSX 10.8.5. My Illustrator CS6 wont open anymore. It keeps stalling while loading the fonts. I have uninstalled and re-installed the program twice and also tried deleting the font that it stalled at but then it would just stall when trying to load the next font. I did notice that it seemed to be stalling on fonts that AREN'T OTF format.  I also wasn't sure to delete the fonts out of the SYSTEM, LIBRARY, FONTS folder or the other fonts folder location in LIBRARY.  I really need to get this program working, please help!!!!!

    thank you, already did that

  • Illustrator CS6 help!

    I have a lace swatch that I need to add a background color in Illustrator CS6.  How do I do that and keep the background color within the confines of a complicated lacy edge?  This probably has a simple answer but I can't figure it out.

    rionorte,
    Depending on the exact nature of the lace structure, you may try the following (some additional steps may be needed):
    1) Group the whole lace structure if not already;
    2) Object>Path>Offset Path by a positive amount sufficient to close all gaps within the lace structure, then hide the original Group;
    3) Pathfinder>Unite or Merge, and apply the desired colour(ing);
    4) Object>Path>Offset Path by the same amount as in 2), only negative;
    5) Show the original Group hidden in 2).
    This should give you a coloured background filling the lace structure in the form of a path. You may wish to adjust the shape of the path where it covers the gaps/openings between the outermost parts of the lace structure.
    It corresponds to the somewaht similar suggestion in this thread about a contiguous background behind letters:

  • My iphone 4s sometimes wont show voice mail,sometimes wont ring just shows missed call,sometimes wont receive a text till next day. can anybody help me???

    My phone sometimes wont show voice mail,sometimes wont ring just shows missed calls,and some text messages wont show received till next day. Can anyone help?

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Try reseating or replacing the SIM card.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). 
    Has any of the above been tried?

    Hi Monika,
    I have spent the last two or three days trying to do what you suggested.  I uninstalled Adobe 6 from Windows.  Some files that CS6 placed on my system during installation remained, including fonts and .dll files.
    I had to abandon the Cleaner Tool you suggested because in one screen it allowed me to specify removing CS6 only, but on the following screen it only gave on option to remove ALL Adobe programs.  I could not do that because I didn't have the serial number handy for CS3 in case I want to reinstall it at some point.
    I tried to get technical help with the Cleaner Tool problem but no definitive help was available, so I reinstalled CS6 again without having the benefit of the Cleaner Tool.  I tried to get the serial number for CS3 so I could use the Cleaner Tool but spent 2 wasted hours in chat.  Even though I had a customer number, order number, order date, place of purchase, the email address used AND 16 digits of the serial number, in two hours the agent couldn't give me the serial number.  After two hours I had nothing but instructions to wait another 20 minutes for a case number.
    Illustrator CS6 is still trying to open some backups as Text and otherNone of the problems have been fixed.  I have tried to open/use the .ai files in CS6 installed on another system and am getting the same result, so I don't think the software was damaged by the cleaner.  The hard drive cleaner is well-known and I've run it many times without any problem to previous versions of Illustrator or any other programs.
    When I ordered, the sale rep promised good technical support and gave me an 800 number, but after I paid the $2000, I learned that the 800 number she gave me doesn't support CS6 and hangs up on me.  Adobe doesn't call it a current product even though they just sold it to me about 3 weeks ago.
    Would appreciate any help you experts can offer.  If I can't solve this, the last backup I can use was from June and I will have lost HUNDREDS of hours of work and assets that I cannot replace.
    Exhausted and still desperately in need of help...

    Sure thing bro, no problem. I assume your running Windows 7 or 8? So for me I had to update the iphone drivers.
    First, open Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound then devices and printers look for your apple iphone under the "Unspecified Devices" tab, Right click on it, choose properties, after that you'll choose the hardware tab to the right of the box that opens. When you click on hardware, choose properties again toward the bottom. Then you'll choose settings, after that you should see the Driver tab, 2nd one. Click that and choose update driver, then browse my computer for driver software, after that you'll want to navigate to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers and click Ok. The driver should update and all should be good after that. Matter of fact, here is the article i used. Good luck dude!!
