Probl saving from Windows XP Illustr. CS2 nordic charachters in filename

Running Windows XP and Illustrator CS2, problems saving files containing nordic charachters (åäöÅÄÖ) in the filename to a server shared volume using SMB.
Doing the same but using Photoshop CS2 from same machine works with same charachters.
Leopard Server 10.5.1
Xserve RAID volume journaled non case sensitive.

I tried several new approaches, but nothing worked so far.
The update to 10.5.5 made things worse. Connections are dropping all over the place, when saving from Adobe programs in particular.
Printing from clients to a Xerox Phaser 5500 works, but choosing a different paper size than the default chosen in the cups admin interface goes all wrong and either prints on the default paper size, but down/upscaled to the chosen paper size or prints on the chosen paper size and down/upscaled as if you were printing to the default paper size. (e.g. default paper size is A4, you choose A3 with an A3 document. Document prints on A4 and is downscaled to A4, or prints on A3 and is downscaled to A4.)
There is no way I can keep this thing in production much longer. I tried reinstalling again, but that did not change any behaviour. Another nice "feature": InDesign disables "edit original" when the path to the linked file contains any directoryname with more than 8 characters in length.
Coupled with a sometimes disappearing "dirserv" (it just stops working until I reboot the whole computer) the decision stands to move away from the Xserve.
Leopard Server 10.5.x just does not seem to work well with windows clients.
We will migrate to a windows server 2003 running ExtremZ-IP for the macintosh clients this weekend. Too bad that Apple does not allow Bootcamp to work on Xserves, at least the hardware would have been useful then.
(As a nice finishing touch, the harddisk partition where all data resides did become corrupt over the weekend. "The volume Daten could not be repaired."
Disk Utility and first aid did show nothing on friday ... saturday after no work being done on the partition this error shows up. The only solution I could find was to reformat the partition and restore from a previous backup. Another weekend down the drain. Sorry for the rant, but 6 weekends in a row is enough.)

  • Saving as DWG in Illustrator CS2 - help!!!

    I'm trying to save a file as a .dwg or .dxf in Illustrator CS2. Everytime I save, it creates two files, a .bmp or .jpg and the .dwg or .dxf
    Does this always happen, the two file situation? Because then the files can't be separated from each other if you intend to open them. I need to send these to part of our parent corporation, and it was my understanding that it shouldn't be two documents. I'd never saved as a .dwg or .dxf before, so this is new to me, I'm not sure what is considered "normal."
    Can someone help me understand what's going on here?

    It's normal in case your Illustrator file contains rasterized objects or objects which are rasterized during the export process.
    You can choose which raster format to use in the Auto CAD export options (in Illustrator 14 it's .png or .jpg). Any raster object in the Illustrator file is separately exported to the same folder the .dwg file is exported to. When you reopen that .dwg in Illustrator the raster files come in as linked files.
    Just send them the whole folder including the .dwg and the raster files.

  • The download icon from my Adobe Illustrator CS2 disk does not appear on my laptop.  Where can I find it? How can I download the program?

    When I load my Adobe Illustrator CS2 disk onto my recently reconfigured laptop, the icon to download and install the program does not appear.  I have tried opening it through a Finder window, but haven't had any success.  How can I download this program to my computer?

    Is there a way to export my movie timeline (as in the organisation of my
    clips, not just the movie)  to a external hard drive. I thought publish
    would help but I'm unsure and the export button under file doesn't light
    up. I'm using Elements 11 and I'm trying to save it to a hard drive so I
    can unistall the program, upgrade my operating system and reinstall.

  • Opening FLA saved from Windows 7 into OSX causes objects to shift

    Hi,
    I've been working on a project on a Windows 7 machine using Flash CS6, saved the file as FLA and then sent it to my work to continue working on their Mac OSX computers. The problem is, when I opened the file, a lot of the vectors were misplaced and had resized slightly which caused problems with my masks.
    Is this a known bug, or to do with the way it's saved?
    Thanks.

    Text is always different between the two. I never allow OSX to output specifically because the linespacing was based upon the PC's linespacing. The designers just change the content to say what it needs and unfortunately it always needs to be exported on the PC to keep the fonts correct. It's bad enough half the time it used to have serious issues lining up the correct font, weight and style because OSX uses a different font naming convention than Windows.
    It's one of the reasons I'm sad to see TLFTextField disappear. There was a lot more control and similarity between that type of text field on both platforms. It fixed a lot of issues. But per this documents note at the top TLFTextField, even though it's new, is depreciated and we're all supposed to revert back to TextField. I hope it's simply because all the TLFTextFields features are being built into the classic TextField (we don't need 2 types honestly, just one strong, functioning type).

  • Saving from Windows Microsoft Word 2003 and ACL !

    hi
    the situation:
    If I save directly from the Word to a Network-drive I get a strange behaviour of the ACL's !
    the file get added ACL 'Users' and an other 'Everyone' the from the parent folder inherited ACL tbsxuser will be tripled !
    If I copy the same file from the desktop to the Network-drive the behaviour is like expect !
    OSX Server 10.5.5
    WIN XP SP2
    Microsoft Word 2003 SP3
    any solution for that

    Hi!
    I have the same problem with Office 2007. On a share I have set ACL "Domain Users Read/Write" to propagate to all directories. The POSIX rights are set to "rw" for owner/group/others. When I save an Excel file to the shared directory, the following happens:
    - POSIX rights are all turned off to none
    - the creator, Users, and Everyone will get ACL entries (read/write, read only, and read-only)
    - Domain Users ACL is present 4 times
    After the next save the Domain Users ACL is present 10 times, one more time and there are 22 entries.
    It is clearly a problem with Office. Notepad doesn't change the file permissions. I have not yet tried different locking settings. Currently both strict and oportunistic locks are set on.
    Also I'd like to add that this strange behaviour happens both on 10.5.6 and 10.4.11, I just tested this.
    I think it would be good to be able to see if the same happens on a Windows Server share but I need to figure out how to test it. File Properties in Windows Explorer doesn't show multiple ACLs even though Mac Server Admin shows they are there.

  • Cut-out shape from jpeg in Illustrator CS2

    Hi,
    I would like to "cut out" a dollar sign ($) shape from a jpeg image so that I can "see through" the dollar sign to what is behind it. I have attempted to do this several times using the Compound path tool, Divide objects below, and everything else I can think of. Nothing works. First, I flatten the jpeg image. Then I create outlines of the dollar sign. When I select the dollar sign and the jpeg and click on "Make Compound Path" I get the error message: "Can't make a compound path. A compound path cannot combine a clipping mask with an ordinary path." I do not have any problems cutting through a vector image. For some reason this jpeg is giving me problems. Can you help?
    Thanks

    You want to set it up the same way and make an inverted opacity mask.
    select the $ and the jpeg with the $ on top can be live text in case you need to change to pounds or euro.
    then in the transparency panel select from the flyout Make Opacity Masks then in the transparency panels setting uncheck clip if selected and check invert.
    You should get this

  • I am using Microsoft office 2011 for mac, publisher is not included, meanwhile I have publisher files saved from windows, is there any recommended software I can install on the mac so that I can open the files?

    How can I be able to use my Windows publisher files on my Mac computer, since Microsoft office 2011 for Mac doesn't have Publisher? What's most recommended software to use for this purpose?

    Just an FYI here Allan, and clinton.
    Version 4.0 or newer of Libre Office can open and edit Publisher files, this is fairly new, you may not have noticed it yet,
    I tested it last week for another OP, it works very well, so finally there is a Mac application that can replace Publisher.
    Here's a link to the post.
    VikingOSX deserves the credit for finding it.

  • File is empty when opening in Windows CS2 after saving from Leopard CS3

    I have CS3 installed on my new Mac running Leopard. When I save a file and take it to my windows machine running CS2, I get a message that "the file was created by a newer version of Illustrator, and some data may be lost." Most times it just opens a empty file. Is there a way to prevent this from happening, without installing CS3 on my windows machine?

    In CS3 click SAVE AS and save as CS2 file. Then try opening on Windows machine.

  • I can't remove illustrator cs2 30 day try version from window vista

    I am trying to remove illustrator cs2 trial version by going to control panel, add/remove program, and click on uninstall cs2 try version, but it keeps saying "the wizard was interupted before adobe illustrator cs2 was completely installed. Your system has not been modified. to complete installation at another time, please run set up again. Click finish to exit the wizard." and would't get removed. What can I possibly do to removie it so that I can install my new cs2 version.

    I found the solution. I had opened a new html document, but had not opened a new site. Doing the new site solved it.

  • Illustrator CS2 won't shut down in Windows XP

    Hi,
    For some reason I'm experiencing trouble getting Adobe Illustrator CS2 to shut down in Windows XP. Everything in the program works smoothly, but when it comes time to close my file and exit the program it just hangs. I can't access the Illustrator drop down menus or taskbar at the bottom of my screen and need to do an 'end task' (force quit) using the task manager.
    Does anyone have any ideas for how I can fix this problem?
    Thanks for your time,
    Bentley

    I've been having the same problem just in the last few days (WIN XP SP2, CS2, plenty of drive space, etc.)
    Thought it was my update to Norton 360. Saw another post that seemed to eliminate Norton as culprit.
    Stumbled across this fix tonight. Seems to be working each time:
    1) Close all AI files
    2) Copy some small text (from any program it seems -- I used email text and then tried the AI HELP>System info>Copy to clipboard)
    3) Exit AI via any option -- AI should close immediately
    The copy to clipboard seems to release something AI can't dump on exit.
    Interesting to see if others get same repeated results.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS2 v 12.0.1 and Windows 7

    We just got new computers for our office (Dell M4500) with Windows 7 and Office 2010.  I re-installed Adobe Illustrator CS2 v 12.0.1 on the machine and today I started it for the first since I re-installed it. Before starting Illustrator, I was going back and forth to different programs using the Windows button + Tab feature that shows the different programs you have open in an oblique way.  Then I started Illustrator and it appeared that my keyboard was not working and the Windows button + Tab feature was not working.  I changed batteries in the keyboard and it fixed the keyboard but not the Windows button + Tab feature.  However, I could still use the Alt + Tab feature to switch between programs!  So I restarted the computer and started a few programs.  Lo and behold the Windows button + Tab feature was working.  Then I started Illustrator and yes, the Windows button + Tab feature was no longer working.  It is enabled again after Illustrator is closed.
    Sorry for the long by necessary introduction.  Therefore, my question is - Has anyone else experienced this?  I have also posted this to MS forums.
    thanks,
