Pixelation issue resizing jpeg Logo - Illustrator CS5

I'm working on a file where they've supplied me with their logo only in jpeg format. I'm trying to lower the size for the small artboard (to approx 15% of it's original size) but can't find any way to make it even the slightest bit smaller without noticable pixelation - let alone an 85% reduction. This will ultimately be print ad so I'm trying to keep resolution in mind.
I'd appreciate everyones expertise! (Illustrator fixes only please as I do not have photoshop)

I wasn't looking at it in overprint preview but did since your message and it makes no difference. It is for a small newspaper ad 2"x3.5" so I of course need the logo to been even smaller than that.
Here is the provided jpeg image:
Here it is at 15%:
As for looking at it in 100%...(perhaps is my lack of advanced illustrator knowledge)....I've always found at 100% it is not true to scale - somewhere around 155/156% I find is true to scale when printed.

I have opened artwork created by someone else. We are both using Illustrator CC. This particular issue shows up in Illustrator CS5 also. Issue: in the links pallet a weird gray gadient keeps replicating. I cannot identify it in the artwork. It is an embed

Hello,
I have opened artwork created by someone else. We are both using Illustrator CC. This particular issue shows up in Illustrator CS5 also. Issue: in the links pallet a weird gray gradient keeps replicating. I cannot identify it in the artwork. It is an embedded image. I cannot get rid of it and it keeps reproducing. WHAT is it and why can't I delete it?
Thanks for any help. Ingrid

Hello, yes it is reproducing over and over. I look in the original artwork and there are 28. I did not save over the original art but “save as”. Worked on the new file for a while and now there are 47!. I copied all the content to a new blank, all colors removed, file and there they were. If I click on them can’t relink, won’t show a bounding box, no frame in wire-frame, no stray points. they are ghosts. Here is an image, to give a better visual of how they look in links panel. Any ideas? Thanks, Ingrid

Transparency issues when printing from Illustrator CS5

I recently designed a flyer for an event that a group of artists and I are doing as a not-for-profit organization that we started, to help clean up the area and promote the arts.
When I print the file (saved as an AI), the colors are bold, the font is crisp, and everthing overall looks fantastic, apart from this "box" around some of the elements I have created/added to the file.
When being printed from an exported jpeg format, the boxes are not present, but the image overall is of lesser quality (i know it's from being compressed to a jpeg), and the colors are not as bold.
I only have a black & white printer, a Brother MFC-7220. I only found out this issue when my curiousity got the best of me, and printed it to see what it'd look like on paper (8.5"x11") before we sent it off to the print shot. This is when I noticed the problem.
The elements which have this box around them were edited in Photoshop CS 6 (trial), where I had (at least thought), disposed of each elements background, so I could import them into AI as objects, without any background.
The files were edited in PS in new documents with a transparent background, saved as a PSD, then "opened" in Illustrator where I simply copied the object and pasted into the AI file I was working in. I've tried recreating/re-adding the elements from PS back into AI with the same issue.
The image also looks perfect on my screen, no boxes whatsoever. I've tried playing around with printer settings, transparency/raster settings, but the only thing I can get close, is the low-quality jpeg file. This problem also happens when exporting to a PDF, which is what I typically use for my printing format from AI.
Any ideas what's going on here? The pictures linked below show a photo of the AI and the jpeg, and a screencap of my desktop as the AI stands right now. The jpeg export has a few minor changes to it, but are still otherwise the same. The only items that are "supposed" to have this, are the logos for our sponsors in the bottom-left corner.
I'm stumped, nothing is working that I've read about, and I need to get these printed as soon as I can! Any help would be appreciated - please keep in mind I'm a novice when it comes to AI/PS, I know mostly basics.

I, too am having the same issue printing from AI CS5. I have edited images in PS CS5 and there is a transparent background. I then placed (File>Place) the PSD files into AI and everything looks good on screen. However, I'm also getting a strange box that appears around my images—though the box itself isn't a solid opaque—it looks more like there's a overprint or screen and so it just shifts the colors behind it. I've tried saving the images as transparent PNGs with the same result. I've also tried playing with my transparency settings in the print dialogue to no avail.
Strangely this is only occurring when I print at 100% size. I came upon this by happenstance when I accidentally printed a copy at 75% and everything was fine. If anyone has any insights, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Issues exporting gradients from Illustrator CS5 files to EPS 8

Hello everyone, I'm having problems exporting illustrator files to EPS, mainly with gradients that aren't rendering properly. These fills are appearing as small sliced objects rather than complete shapes. Any advice?
Thanks!

Illustrator 8 is over a decade old. I expect that Adobe has significantly changed the way gradients are saved in Illustrator files since version 8. So, in order to preserve the appearance of the gradient Illustrator just expands it, rather than continuing to support a legacy format that’s so old. This is unfortunate but understandable.
Perhaps there are other options. Why are you saving as an Illustrator 8 EPS file? Surely you are not sending the file to someone who has no more recent version than 8? If the file is not meant for use exclusively with Adobe Illustrator 8 then it will be converted to some other format when the person you are sending it to opens it. When that happens, expect the gradient to be converted anyway.
My point is I doubt this Illustrator 8 EPS file will need to be edited, so it doesn’t matter that the gradient is expanded.

Illustrator CS5 Has Stopped Working

Windows 7 x64
I am getting an crash error on starting Ai
Error loading plugins. ScriptingSupport.aip
Click OK
Crashes a few seconds later with
Fault Module: ScCore.dll
Exception Code: c0000005
This may be caused from a recent update as its a simultaneous issue with Photoshop.
I fixed a scripting plugin issue with Photoshop CS5 by renaming the plugin file however that doesn't work for Illustrator.

I had same error. For me, it was related to multiple displays or perhaps the resolution/display combination. I have four 17" displays running 1280x1024 resolution. I disabled a couple displays and it loaded perfectly. Renable the displays with adobe running and still seems to function properly. Closed adobe softwares, reactivated the displays and tried to open Illustrator and get the error again. This issue was occuring for Illustrator CS5 and Photoshop Extended CS5.

Pixelation issue with logo

OK, so this issue is now the bane of my existence. I have a logo that I created in Illustrator CS5 that I use on my website but also on Facebook. Here is a link to my logo on my domain:
http://www.tortacouture.co.uk/logo.jpg
This looks fine and exactly how I want it to appear. However here is the exact same logo (multiple times) in my facebook album.
http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.235689163125829.73019.235686989792713
This might be easier to see on a laptop where you can tilt the screen but notice the pixelation around the letters and at the edge of the circle. When I remove the letters the orange in the centre has no pixelation but it is still around the edges. I uploaded the same logo but in green and the pixelation is still there however it's hardly noticable. I need to have this logo in the orange/red colour and even when I use web safe colours the issue still persists.
I have tried the following things which have not helped:
saved as .png, .tiff, .gif, .jpg
saved for web
exported
exported to photoshop
web safe colours
align to pixel grid
removed anti-aliasing
resizing
This is driving me mad - so any help is hugely appreciated.
Thanks

I took the larger jpeg you had and saved that for the web and got this
which looks pretty good you shoud be able to do better with your save for the web.
I know the problem, in the Save for the Web and Device you should select either Art Optimise or Text Optimize
right now you probably have none selected.

How do I create or export a logo in Illustrator CS5 with an alpha channel to use in Final Cut Pro 6?

To anyone who can help:
I have created a logo using Illustrator CS5 and need to import it into a video sequence in Final Cut Pro 6. The logo has a transparent background. It seems FCP 6 will import both native .ai files as well as .tiff files, but when I open them in FCP 6, the alpha channel (transparent background) is no longer there; there is just the logo over a white background. Is there a setting or step I am missing?
Shaun MacLellan

I have to insert AI images into Final Cut Pro and Motion quite frequently.
The most effective way I've found to get an AI image into Final Cut is to:
1. Select/copy all the objects in the AI doc.
2. Create a new file with a transparent background in Photoshop and paste.
3. Merge the layers and make sure the mode is RGB.
4. Save out as a .PNG or .PSD.
5. Drag the result into Final Cut (or Motion).
6. Resize and position the result to taste.
Attempting to export directly from AI to .PSD or .PNG is a wasted effort and the results may not even be recognized by Final Cut.
Yes, it requires Photoshop and it is a few extra steps...but it works like a charm.
Additionally, when creating a new file in Photoshop, you may want to initially set its size to match the aspect ratio of your video. For example, if you're making an HD video, you might set the size to 1280x720 and position the AI elements where they are supposed to be in frame. You can set the AI elements in accurately by cutting and pasting a frame from your video into Photoshop and positioning the AI elements in place on another layer above the video layer. Delete the video layer before saving out as a .PNG or .PSD and it will appear in Final Cut exactly where it should be.

@them,
I'm just a user like you who volunteers my time here. Your technical question requires the response from a support engineer.
I do sincerely think you'll get a better response by asking in the Downloading, Installing, Setup forum which I referenced in post #3. They have support engineers who monitor that forum for these kind of issues. This forum can only deal with general issues. Sorry.

Illustrator CS5 issues after upgrading to OS X Yosemite

Hi, I upgraded to OS X Yosemite recently and since then
my Illustrator CS5 has started playing up. A few days ago I noticed it
was taking a long time to save and now it won't let me export files to jpeg
format. It crashes. Please help!

Adobe has a forum. I'd look there to see if others are having issues.
It is entirely possible that CS5 isn't fully compatible with Yosemite. Adobe's preferences is to push/support their subscription Creative Cloud, and making older software work is kinda counter to that. (and honestly I couldn't install CS2 on my windows 8 machine, the minimum compatibility was CS3 for Windows 8, so it's not unknown for Adobe programs to have a limited backwards compatibility)

Illustrator CS5 Distorts Vector on Resize, using Scale Tool

When resizing a vector group in Illustrator CS5 with a custom made symbol in the group I get distortion of the proportion of the shape.
I've tried
Tried resizing with selection tool holding down shift or option
Turning off align to pixel grid in the transform panel
Turning off align to pixel grid in the symbol option
Checking Enabled Guides for 9-slice scaling is turned on
Checking Scale Stroke & Effects is turned off in preferences
Can you help me resize this without the distortion?

Did you have the symbol selected when you turn off align to pixel grid. Try expanding the symbol

Wenn noch fragen offen sind einfach fragen, ich würde gerne das Problem so schnell wie möglich lösen....

Ja wie gesagt es hat davor auch ohne Probleme Funktioniert nur war ich gezwungen das System neu zu Installieren und ab dann konnte ich die da oben genannten Updates nicht mehr Installieren. Ein Mac ist zwar eine schöne Sache kommt aber für mich nie in Frage da ich mein PC als Arbeitsrechner und Gamer Rechner nutze und das meiste läuft halt nicht auf einen Mac und man müsste manche Programme neu Kaufen, das sehe ich überhaupt nicht ein, und meine Anwendungen werden aus Prinzipien nicht für Apple Produkte entwickelt da verdient man kaum etwas... aber das muss jeder für sich entscheiden. An eine neue Version habe ich eventuell nächstes Jahr gedacht aber auch nur die CS6 ob man das brauch ist die Frage da CS 5 genau macht was es soll. Das Modell mit der Adobe Cloud hat zwar denn Vorteil das die Programme Aktuell sind aber man muss Monatlich dafür Zahlen und CS5/CS6 oder älter brauch man nur einmal Kaufen. Darüber hinaus finde ich eh das Adobe so eine richtige S*** ist wenn es um Support ältere Programme geht so zeigt Adobe meiner Meinung nach das Ihre Produkte nichts wert sind zumindest macht es den Anschein. Aber wie gesagt, bin ich hier um Hilfe zu bekommen um das Problem zu lösen ohne ein neue Version zu kaufen, das ist ja bekanntlich die einfachste Lösung, aber wenn Informatiker auch so denken würden dann würde es sehr schlecht aussehen... und als Anmerkung am Rande, es wäre ja nett wenn man mir denn Link dieser Updates zukommen lassen könnte um die Updates Manuell zu Installieren.
"Aber wie sollen wir denn Programme testen auf Hardware und OS, die es erst in ein paar Jahren geben wird."
Dies kann man in voraus natürlich nicht aber in nachhinein geht das und Software Entwickler denn etwas an Ihre Produkte liegt, machen das nachhinein auch und passen gegebenenfalls Ihr Produkt an.
PS: CS 2 läuft ebenfalls auf einem Windows 8.1 rechner ;-)

Font issue occurs when creating pdf file from Illustrator CS5.

I have some design files which are created in Illustrator CS5 and I made them as a pdf file using InDesign CS5 while I open the pdf file in Acrobat Pro 9 I have no issue with the file but my client is using Acrobat Pro 7 while they open the pdf file in Acrobat pro 7 junk characters(rectangular boxes) are appearing in it. Can anyone please look in to this and confirm is this a version bug or something else? It would be much appreciated if some give any idea to get rid of this issue.

Aside from the PDF version, but to follow-up to what David is getting at, you are likelythe fonts are not embedding. Because they reside on your system you see the PDF as it should be. Your client likely does not have the fonts installed.
Make sure your ID export of the document is including the fonts. If that still does not work, check to make certain the fonts you are using allow them to be embedded.
If all else fails, seeing how this PDF is for client review (I assume) have the PDF settings set to convert type to outlines. This gets you past the current dilemma as you figure out the cause.
Take care, Mike

Illustrator cs5 selecting issue in mountain lion

I'm having a strange issue using illustrator cs5 after updating to mountain lion. I have a line of text that I rotated and copied several times so it resembles an asterisc shape * (3 lines of type fanned out over a central point). When I select 1 line of type, 2 or more lines are selecting. It happens even if I try to click in an empty area of the file (white space). The kicker is that it even happens in outline view (even in the white space). Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Not sure what is happening, but a workaround might be to put each line of type on its own layer, then lock and/or hide layers you don't want to select.

Illustrator CS5/CS6 on OSX 10.9.1 - Issue with loading fonts.

I'm using Illustrator CS6 on OSX 10.9.1. Ever since I've upgraded to OSX Mavericks, Illustrator has stopped loading some of the document fonts even though they are enabled and available for other applications. I get the font missing dialog every time I open the artboard after a system restart. I usually resolve this by opening the Font Book app, disabling and re-enabling the fonts. This refreshes the artboard and the fonts then appear to work as normal. Initially, I suspected a compatability issue with Illustrator CS5 and OSX Mavericks, but after upgrading to CS6, I continue to have the same issue. The fonts in question are ttfs and these worked fine previously.
How can I fix this?

Do you use any third party font maangement tool?
Which fonts are affected?

Illustrator CS5 font issue

I know this is a quirky issue, but I'm hoping someone can help me solve it.
I just bought Illustrator CS5 for Windows last week. Prior to installing it, I had a full set of Myriad Pro variations on my system. Those included Semibold Condensed and Semibold Condensed Italic, plus Semibold Black and Semibold Black Italic.
After installing Illustrator CS5 with its default settings, the four variations above were no longer on my system. Opening older files using them in Photoshop CS4 gave me an error message that the fonts weren't found.
I see that Illustrator CS5 came with some fonts, including some members of the Myriad Pro family - but not these 4.
I'm wondering what happened to my previous fonts. And I'm also wondering where I got them originally. I have Photoshop CS4, InDesign CS4, Dreamweaver CS4 and Acrobat 9 Pro all installed on my system. But I checked the discs for all of those and these 4 faces weren't on any of them. I know I didn't buy them separately. But I can't figure out where I got them so that I can reinstall them.
Does anyone who why they would have disappeared with the installation of Illustrator CS5? And do these 4 come standard with some Adobe program that I may have installed but haven't checked?
I know it's weird but it's making me crazy. I've used these quite often and have several existing files that need them.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I was thinking the same thing about the legitimacy of the fonts. These are just a single .otf file download. I don't see those files free anywhere else, so I'm thinking they're either knockoffs or illegal downloads. But the .otf file properties say "Authors Robert Slimbach and Carol Twombly. Copyright 2000 Adobe Systems, Inc. Myriad is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems." I'm just not going to take a chance. Probably turn my computer into a pumpkin!
Thanks to everyone for the help.
P.S. I mistyped the face names in the original message. They are actually Semibold Condensed and Semibold Condensed Italic, plus Black Condensed and Black Condensed Italic. Looks like they're available on Adobe's site.
