Import Template from Adobe Illustrator CS4

Hi everyone,
I would like to import a template (a letterhead that i made) from Adobe Illustrator CS4 into Pages, which I use for writing documents. So far I had no success in doing so. The formats supported by Illustrator are png, bmp, dwg, dxf, emf, swf, jpg, pct, psd, tif, tga, txt and wmf. Furthermore there are Illustrator formats ai, ait and eps and fxg, pdf, svg and svgz.
I hope theres someone who can help me...

The advantage of a vector format (such as PDF) over a bitmapped format (such as PNG) is portability. Right now, for example, you might be using your letterhead to print to an inkjet printer. Some time in the future you may choose to have a professionally printed stationary printed using the same graphic and at that point the PNG file may not produce high quality output whereas the PDF would. Also, in many cases the PDF file not only creates higher quality output but also results in smaller file sizes.

Importing Microstation SE DGN files into Adobe Illustrator CS4

Hello,
New to the forum and was hoping someone could help answer what is likely a very basic question: Can Adobe Illustrator CS4 import DGN files (containing point, line, text, shape, fills, cells and other complex elements) created in Microstation SE? If so, is it an easy process, and what if any data is lost during the conversion? Is the original projection and master units/sub units maintained? I am not familiar with any version of Illustrator, so please be kind (lol). Tks for any help!

If you intend to zoom in or pan on your graphic, you might make it say, twice the size of your FCP sequence's pixel dimensions.
If it is static, paste it into the appropriate video template at the size you require.
Illustrator and Photoshop are far better at scaling when compared to Final Cut Pro.
The pixelization is probably because that section of the Timeline needs to be rendered.
This indicated by a colored bar at the top of the Timeline. A green bar indicates that you can view that area but it will not be at full quality until rendered.
Make sure all render options are checked on:
Consider also: your image is rendered to the pixel dimensions of the FCP sequence and the Canvas always shows a lower res proxy image to better enable real time playback. To view the output of Final Cut Pro as it really is, you need an external calibrated monitor or at the very least, an excellent TV.

Can't import Adobe Illustrator CS4 .ai files

I recently upgraded to Adobe Illustrator CS4. When I attempt to paste an .ai file into iWeb I see only a black rectangle. This was not the case with CS3 AI. It seems that I must now first convert the AI CS4 file into a .pdf or .eps before importing to iWeb. Also, QuickLook does not display either CS3 or CS4 versions of AI.
Have others encountered these behaviors?

Are you referring to a Photoshop file with an alpha layer? iWeb and iPhoto do not support those. Nor does several other Apple applications like Preview, Quicklook, etc. Send a feature request to Apple via:

Cannot reinstall Adobe Illustrator CS4

Hello!
2007, I have bought Adobe Illustrator CS4 from your website.
I used it few months and then I put it aside. First, the cd kept asking for a serial number and the one I still had since 2007, did not work. One must buy a new serial number, i have heard. How is that even possible or fair in any way? SO THE 170 Euros were payed for a time-limited product? Is this milk!?
Anyhow, now the cd doesn't even "run". It keeps showing that "the Installer database is corrupt", after have clicked "run" and then "install".
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely R.A.A

Whatever you heard regarding having to buy a new serial number is false information - your license remains valid as long as you paid for it yourself. If your disc is not loading properly you can download the installation thru the page linked below.

Problem with reinstalling Adobe Illustrator CS4 on new pc

Using a new PC with Windows 7. Upon reinstalling and inputting serial number, prompt appears..."We looked inthe default locations for qualifying products installed on this machine but none found. You may verify upgrade eligibility now by completing fields to the right." Choices given do not include Adobe Illustrator CS4. What next? I appreciate the help.

I have a disc in the same box that says CS3. I thought that was an older version. Should I try installing that disc first? It seems to have a different serial number. Thanks so much for your help. I appreciate it.

It is looking for the qualifying product which entitles you to use the Illustrator CS4 update. Did you have an older version of Illustrator which upgraded from?

Export from Adobe Illustrator to Wissen Castop Plus 99

Hello
We have a DGI Omega OM-130 Plotter. I can only find drivers to run this from Windows XP, using Wissen Castop Plus 99.
While this works for sending flies to plot, the software isn't up to much in making the artwork, so the machine is hard to use.
Ideally we need a way to export files from Adobe Illustrator (MAC) to Wissen Castop Plus 99 which uses WMP or WPF file types.
We have tried the CoCutPro2 plugin for Illustrator, but this only exports HPGL files and I've no idea what they are.
I'd also be open to non-obvious ideas for getting the plotter working with anything other than Win XP, even command line if it will plot any standard file type.
I'd also consider scripting in Illustrator.
thanks.

Whose file formats are WMP & WPF? Have never heard of these unless they are for Windows Media Player & Word Perfect Forms, which are not graphic formats.
What other file formats can Castop Plus 99 accept? Below is form their website.
Designed for compatibility, Wissen Castop Plus 99 includes import filters for 23 different file formats and as an OLE client, your jobs can contain links to work in other OLE server applications.
You should be able to import 23 different file formats. PDF would be great cause you can make a PDF from nay software and bring that into Castop. Does it come with Traceline, that is their software to convert bitmap to vector, so I would assume these WMP & WPF are vector formats.

The preferences file is corrupt: adobe illustrator cs4

greetings!
every time i start illustrator i encounter a new error.
"the preferences file is corrupt and has been reset to the default settings."
"the corrupt file will be backed up as Adobe illustrator Prefs.err"
this problem manifested after i added some more .ai and .ase files to my swatches directory. i do not believe anything else changed.
not sure how to diagnose the problem. is there a debug mode or something? perhaps an offending file.
an option would be to try remove each added swatch file or folder individually, but this would e a very very time consuming process for me.
i use cs4 on a Macbook pro running Snow Leopard - 10.6.2 and would appreciate your advice.
thank you

The problem is that you're not getting rid of the corrupt Illustrator preferences. To do that, go to User/Library/Preferences and drag the entire Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder to the trash (or to another drive if you want to keep it for some reason). Illustrator will then create a new Preferences folder the next time it's started. It's unlikely the problem was caused by swatches files, but if the error comes back after deleting prefs, then you'll need to determine which swatch file is causing it.

Converting Templates From Adobe Fireworks to Joomla

Do anyone know how to transfer templates from Adobe Fireworks to Joomla or another CMS's . Cuz i wanted to create an ecommerce site ,so i'd like to create a template by myself...

No you can't transfer templates from FW to Joomla or Wordpress or Drupal or any other CMSs because the themes/templates for these packages have to be constructed in a specific way to make them work correctly.
I suggest go to Joomla's Forums and ask them how to create templates for their package. There are other forums for Wordpress and drupal as well to deal with questions like yours.
Good luck.

Exporting to PNG from Adobe Illustrator cutting off edges

I created a 40px x 40px image in Adobe Illustrator CS4. I saved as an .ai file and then tried to export as a PNG.
Adobe Illustrator automatically crops the background and tightens the export to a rect around all the objects which if fine. In this case, I am not working edge to edge so my image is not quite 40px wide.
But, unfortunately, Illustrator is not exporting the entire image. I end up with an image that is 34px wide. Indeed, the icon I draw starts on the left hand side but the right edge of my object cut off.
Any ideas why this is happening? I can't imagine Illustrator CS4 can't correctly to export to PNG.

Can't necessarily explain the reason for the cutoff without knowing more, but you might be able to solve it by adding a 40 x 40 square with no fill or stroke and including it in the export.

Will adobe illustrator cs4 work on a macbook retina?

i'm considering buying the macbook pro with retina display. but will my main application, adobe illustrator CS4, display correctly on the machine? does anybody have experience with this? i'd be very thankful for you replies.
best,

The question is really will CS4 work with the Mac OS X 10.7 operating system. As long CS4 is compatible with Lion it should work on the new systems.

Adobe Illustrator CS4 Low resolution

Hey all,
When I launch adobe illustrator cs4 it opens in a very low resolution.
I'm running Adobe Illustrator CS4 it on my Lenovo Y510P, Windows 8 (64bit), screen resolution set to 1920x1080
Running Photoshop CS4 on the contrary opens in full hd resolution.
I was unable to find a working solution on the web, all solutions i found were not relevant in CS4.
I would very much appreciate your help.
Screenshots:
Photoshop is sharp and HD, Illustrator is blurred and low resolution

I see no difference in sharpness/crispness between the screenshots.
Actually there is. It's not really loss of resolution, but rather some sort of secondary antialiasing. This would normally happen with specific color management settings or application specific graphics card profiles that are unsuitable. I'd look into that.
