Illustrator files are fuzzy

I've created my drawing in Illustrator and then in AE I did an import of it. I set the option to composition when I imported it, and it looks great. Right up until I scale the image up, and then it starts getting blurrier and blurrier. I'm not doing any animation of it, just trying to make it a bit bigger when it appears on the screen.

You need to enable continuous rasterization. The switch looks like a little sun. It's in the timeline.
Sounds like you need to go over some of the basics. Please do so. After Effects is not a program that you can just open up and use. You need some training.
Start here.

I created a file in Photoshop CS5 (a photo) and another in Illustrator CS5 (a graph) to place in my InDesign CS5 brochure. When the Photoshop and Illustrator files are placed in InDesign, they look blurry - whether viewed in InDesign, printed, or saved as a PDF. Can anyone give me some tips on how to fix this? Thanks!

Our illustrator files are not showing up when uploaded to creative cloud.

Our illustrator files are not showing up when uploaded to creative cloud. They are visible sometimes when we turn on and off the layers. Please help thanks.

If you feel that you have enough evidence of the symptoms, use the feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html to let Apple know. The "feedback type" of "bug report" has been removed from the iTunes feedback, so I suggest you use use "Other".
You will not receive any feedback from them, but they do read the submissions and act upon them. It can take a while, and more than one iTunes update before the issue is resolved.

Older illustrator files are 72 resolution when opened in new version

Hi,
My high resolution illustrator work wants to save as 72 pixels per inch in IllustratorCS5, is there a setting somewhere to only go to 72 if I want a save for web gif?
Also, I have a hard time getting from sign in to the forum. Is there a more reasonable route than through the confusing jargon of the corporate marketing page?
Thanks,
Garrett

Packaging an InDesign document with Placed Illustrator Files which contain PLACED GRAPHICS!

I've got an InDesign document 215 pages long. Each page contains a placed Illustrator document... and each Illustrator document contains a placed TIFF.
When I package the InDesign Document the Illustrator files are gathered into the new location, but InDesign does not gather the TIFFs. I need to get this material to the book designer, but relinking 215 pages is going to be a very risky and time consuming process--one that will have to be done OVER and OVER again as the project moves from one location to another. Can anyone recommend a solution? Why doesn't InDesign look for nested files?
Does anybody understand what I'm talking about?
--Jay

The reason behind link (.psd in layers) means in the future it can be edited.
If the person receiving to package needs to edit the layers of a PSD placed in an Illustrator file, then yes you would have to manually include the layered PSDs. But if it's just a matter of ensuring full res and color managed output downstream then saving as PDF does that and preserves the links to layered files locally. So if I save as PDF trash a link and reopen the PDF in Illustrator it will look for the link:
If you save as .ai with the links embedded, the users downstream would be able to unembed and edit a flattened version of the placed art.

How to view Illustrator File Version in Windows XP Explorer windows

On a Mac (Leopard or Snow Leopard) I can add a Version filter to the Finder Windows List Views so I can see what versions my Illustrator Files are saved at and I can see the version and the application that created it if I Get Info on the file.
In windows XP however I cannot see any Version info even if I right click on the filter bar and add the Version Column to filter by. I also dont see any version of the files if I go under a files attributes. The only thing I can see is File Type which will only show me whatever the version of Illustrator on the machine that will open it.
The problem is that I dont want older machines that dont have CS4 to open up CS4 files but there is no way for me to tell which files are CS4 and which are saved down to CS2.
Thanks in Advance,
J

Things might be different in the most recent versions of AI, but you can always look at your .ai file in a text editor, such as Wordpad or Notepad. (I keep desktop shortcuts to both onto which I can just drag and drop files for quick looks.)
You'll have to scroll down a bit if you save with the PDF option, but you should come across some text that tells you what you want to know. It'll typically start off with the text string %!PS-Adobe-XXX.
In this particular example, the application used was AI 12.0.1 (CS2), and the file was retro-saved to version 8. (Yes, the variable name "Creator" is somewhat misleading.)
If you have the DTs or are otherwise prone to hitting keys unintentionally, open a copy of the file in your text editor to make sure you don't accidentally modify the original file.
Where did the Info that you had in the .png file come from?
I think that's a Command+I from within a Mac OS Finder listing, Larry.

Illustrator files automatically changing permissions to read only

My Adobe illustrator file are changing to read only by themselves. This becomes annoying because i'll have to unlock the file, change my own permissions, and then try to re-save the file. Otherwise... I'm stuck with the "Error -54" code every time i open up a file and try to save it.
using cs3 on latest leopard build.

In disk utility I had a look. I cannot verify or set permission (greyed out). The data coming back from info. How can I change this??

Illustrator CS6 crashes when 40 or more files are open at the same time

Windows 7 SP1, Illustrator CS6
The end users spends 7 hours of their 8 hours in Illustrator. As part of the job, they have to have over 40 different files open at the same time because they are working on several jobs at the same time as well as working forward. So the answer is not "they have to close some files". This, unfortunately, is not an option.
We recently upgraded them to CS6. They said that version CS5 was fine and didn't crash like this. But Illustrator CS6 crashes on them, closes itself, and obviously they lose all unsaved changes (saving the changes isn't a choice either, because the files are shared and have to stay original).
The only modification we've done to the program is to UNcheck "Append" in the preferences.
This happens on all 3 computers for all 3 users, so I don't believe it to be end-user related.
Does anyone out there know of a way to get Illustrator to stop crashing?
Is there a specific limit on the number of files that can be open?
Thanks,
Spencer

No, they aren't working on the same files. All 3 employees are working on different files.
They are all on Dell Optiplex GX745 with 4 Gb of RAM.
The crashes are at different times, not all 3 crashing at the same time. Therefore, I don't believe network is the cause of the issues. Also, it didn't crash on CS5, but now it does on CS6.
What I'm looking for are possible settings within Illustrator CS6 that I can tweak to make it a more stable program.
Thanks

When saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. How can I fix this?

when saving my illustrator file to a pdf it doesnt show all the artwork ie boxes are hidden in the pdf or only showing part of them. Even some text is hidden. I have flattened the artwork so everything is in one layer. How can I fix this?

Hi John
I have indicated on the attached jpeg where the problem is, basically a line of text is missing at the top and part of the feeding diagram is missing. I created the artwork in different layer and then flattened. All text has been converted to outlines, however the areas being affected have no transparency, I have used solid fills or no fills. I get the same result when I export the file as a jpeg. Hope you can help.

I am trying to update Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 So my files are compatible.

I am trying to update Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 So my files are compatible.
I get an error message when I try to update saying:
Updates could not be applied. The error log file may help you in identifying the problem. Then, try updating again. If the problem persist, contact customer support for further assistance.
Error Log: Premiere Elements 9.0.1 Updater There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U43M1D207
What do I do with information? I tried updating several times. None of my Adobe products will update.

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. And I fail to see what compatibility issues you are trying to fix. Illustrator allows to save to a variety of formats, including older versions of its own AI files...

My Old Illustrator 8 files are being seen as text files..help

Help...I am needing to go back to some old Illustrator files to update them.
The problem is that they are are only being seen as 'text' files, and i cannot open them.
I am running CS3 but have access to CS2 also.
I have updated to Mac OX version 10.6.6...could this be the problem?

Add .ai to the filename
CMD I on the file
Change open with to AICS3
While here take a look at the file size (eg:1.6mb in that above screenshot) is it really small?
If that don't work try creating a new user account and see if you can open the file.

CS6 InDesign - Default display is high-quality. Four placed images are Illustrator files. Three images look the way they should - high-quality. One image looks pixelated. Why?

InDesign CS6 - Default display is high-quality. All four placed images are Illustrator files. Three images look the way they should - high-quality. One image looks pixelated. Why?

Not sure if this will help, but what is your inDesign file's "Transparency Blend Space" set to? It's under the edit menu.
Also, when you are placing your images, are you selecting "Show Import Options" and making any selections there?
