Is There a Manual for Illustrator CS5 and Where Do I Find It?

I just got Adobe Illustrator CS5. Aside from downloading the trial and playing around with it, I'm new to the Illustrator CS5 product. Most software tends to come with a manual on the CD-Rom/DVD, but for some reason, all I can find is a short readme file.
Am I missing something? Does this software not come with a manual? If it does, does anyone know where in the CD/DVD directory I can find it?

It does not come with a manual but you can purchase books that will guide you as well as a manual.
Real World Illustrator or the Quick Start Series.
But the help files are good and there are video tutorials available on Adobe TV which are very good.

There are no viruses for iOS currently.
iOS employs security features built into it-mainly sand boxing.
You can not download apps from the Internet, apps cannot make changes to the core system or system wide, apps can access data inside the app itself and a very limited set outside itself.
Sand boxing also prevents AV software from working in iOS.
You can't scan the device from the AV software because it can't access the other apps or their data.

Are user manuals available for download for Encore CS5 and Premiere pro

I've been told that there are user manuals for Premiere Pro and Encore CS5, but I've spent considerable time trying to locate where to download them from. I've found then from what appear to be third party entities, but I have trouble trusting many of them. Doesn't Adobe offer them? I've tried searching their website, but come up with nothing. I don't doubt that it is in there somewhere, but they don't exactly manke it easy to find.

Is there a manual for iOS7, and how it pertains to th iPhone 4s?

Is ther a manual for the new features in iOS7 and how to use them on an iPhone4s?

Yeah that was as bad as Kappy telling everyone that apple was releasing ios7 in phases across time zones. He said he had a source and I had to remind him that it was rumor yet he kept telling people that and then it turns out he was wrong because it came out the same time for everyone.

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.

How can I get a serial number for Illustrator CS5?

How can I get a serial number for Illustrator CS5 when I have a complete CC subscription?
I have a GCC Expert 24 plotter running on OS X and the direct cut plugin is only compatible with CS5 or earlier.
I have tried asking in support chat but it never actually works, my next option is to ring or get a cracked version but i'm trying to avoid both of those options if I can.
Thanks.

xdmg,
In addition to what Lutz said, unless you buy a CS5 that is still new and unused, you will need a licence transfer through Adobe,

and the application must be deactivated on any machine it has been installed on.

I'm working with Illustrator CS5 and am having trouble with basic graphics textures.

I'm working with Illustrator CS5 and am having trouble with basic graphics textures. The illustrator drawings look fine with the pattern fills and when I bring the drawing into quark 9.1 they are still fine. When I print the quark file to lo res pdf drawing is still fine, but when I print to hi res pdf (press quality for print) the patterns disappear. I cannot figure out what the problem is.
just a note. Other textures and artistic fills work fine. It seems to be just the basic ones. I'm wondering if for some reason they may not be saved completely in my libraries?

Its just a drawing in black and white with some basic graphic texture to show “dirt” The pattern consists of a bunch of small lines. I save the file as an eps. And bring it into quark. When I print from quark I say print to pdf as press quality. I don’t think the problem has to do with acrobat because I’ve never encountered these problems before CS5. These drawings have been around for years and all of a sudden they don’t work.
Does this help?

charmi,
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Illustrator CS5 and Cutting Master 2 (Craft Robo V1.94) plugin

I have a problem with Illustrator CS5 and a Cutting Master 2 (Craft Robo V1.94) Plugin for a Graphtec Craft Robo Pro vinyl cutter.
When trying to plot from Illustrator the dialogbox that normally appears does not show and after sometime I get a message Cutting Master 2 timeout.
Until this appears, Illustrator is Unresponsive.
I have tried to uninstall the plugin, restart my PC (windows 7 - 64 bit) and reinstall the plugin without success.
It has been working earlier, the problem recently appeared - any suggestions on how to overcome this very annoying problem?
Message was edited by:Skilteskoven. I have now been investigating the problem further, and it seems that an automatic update of windows (I have disabled that feature now!!) - Internet Explorer 11 for windows 7 is causing the problem. I have tried on two different PC, one windows 7, 32 bit and the other windows 7, 64 bit. On both PC the problem as described above occurs when Internet Explorer is installed - anyone who could give me a suggestion on what is going on? How can IE11 cause a plugin in Illustrator to stop working?

Hi
Me too.
You can go back to ios 10.8 providing you have a time machine back up. Thats what I had to do.
Graphtec are updating drivers and a schedule is here;

Are there required fonts for Illustrator to run properly?

Yes, there are. There's a problem related with missing Verdana (search for layers not displaing properly). And maybe others.

How can I sync my photo contents in iPhoto on my iMac to my new iPAD's iPhoto? I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but I cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help! Thanks!

I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but after physically connecting iPAD with iMac with USB or via WiFi I still cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help! Thanks!
I have been creating a photo book using a lots of photographs on iPhoto, and then I took another photos by using new iPAD which I want to integrate with the original album/book on iMac. I was able to import them from iPAD's iPhoto to iMac's iPhoto. However I cannot import or transfer or sync anything from iMac's iPhoto to that of my iPAD.
So my iPhoto page on iPAD contains only 3 or 4 newly created albums, and no other info. That means no syncing....
I am supposed to be able to work on this project on either of these iPAD and iMac, correct?
I am puzzled. I appreciate for your advice and help.
Thank you!

It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
And then on the right-hand side :

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
System: Windows 7
Adobe CS5
Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
Epson driver up to date
After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling: Printer manages color. Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create?
Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
I hope this may help...............

Applescript, Illustrator CS5 and Saving as a PDF

Hello,
First I'm not sure if this is the best spot to post this but I figure I would start here! I'm a rookie applescripter and can find code and piece it together to get things done. The issue I've recently come across has to do with saving files as a pdf with Illustrator CS5 and the file type and creator. In the code below, if the code is changed to save as pdf (no options), the type and creator end up being question marks. I changed it to save with options and backed the pdf version to Acrobat 5, then the type and creator were correct.
set fileTypes to {"EPSF", "PDF ", "ART5", "TEXT"} -- file types available to resave as Illustrator
-- get a sourceFolder that holds the files to resave as AI
set sourceFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder with files to resave as PDF:") as text
-- get a list of files of the defined type in the sourceFolder
tell application "Finder" to set workingFiles to (every file of folder sourceFolder whose file type is in fileTypes) as alias list
-- now you have your fileList argument
-- get a destinationFolder to hold the eps files
set destinationFolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder to hold the pdf files:"
SaveFilesAsPDF(workingFiles, destinationFolder)
on SaveFilesAsPDF(fileList, destinationFolder)
set destinationPath to destinationFolder as string
repeat with aFile in fileList
tell application "Finder"
set fileName to displayed name of aFile -- get displayed name
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "."
set newFileName to text item 1 of fileName
set newFilePath to destinationPath & newFileName & ".ai"
end tell
tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
open aFile
tell current document
set selected of every page item to true
do javascript "var docRef = activeDocument;docRef.fitArtboardToSelectedArt(0);"
end tell
save current document in file newFilePath as pdf with options {class:PDF save options, compatibility:Acrobat 5, preserve editability:true, color resample:bicubic downsample, color downsampling:20, color compression:automatic JPEG medium}
close current document saving no
end tell
end repeat
end SaveFilesAsPDF
-- END CODE
The two questions I have are:
1. Is this an issue with Illustrator or something in my code?
2. Is this the proper spot to report the issue?
Regards,
John

Hey gregery,
Please let me know what Acrobat version are you using.
Also, go to File> Properties> Security and check whether form filling is allowed or not as shown below:
