I hawe the originale document and its ok, and when it's reopened in the reinstalled version, The content of the artborad which was made first and that is ok. Floats beyond artboards in the document when it is loaded again in the newly installed illustrator. There will not be made other than opening the document. It looks strange when it is the same version and everything seems to be the same.

Problem reinstalling Illustrator CS4 on Mac Intel

I had Illustrator CS4 installed in my Mac Mini Intel OS 10.6.8 and it worked fine, but I had to reinstall it and now I cannot print from Illustrator, it freezes Illustrator.
I already uninstalled using the Uninstaller and reinstalled it three times and the same problem remains.
If I open the Illustrator file in Photoshop CS4 I can print with no problem.
Any help is welcome .
Thanks

Illustrator acesses different parts of the .ppd so possibly could be part of the problem. Look at your print settings, try bitmapping everything, by sliding raster balance to rasters. Will say custom after you click ok, not medium resolution. Then check the Graphics tab above advanced and what postcritpt level you have set.
Is your iMac that works using the same exact .ppd?

Snap to Grid problem in Illustrator CS4

I found a weird problem with the "snap to grid" feature in Illustrator CS4 running on MAC OS X Snow Leopard.
To reproduce it, on my system, it is enough to:
1. Make sure to have the Snap To Grid enabled (View->Snap to grid)
2. Draw a rectangle (see BEGIN.JPG)
3. Select the Direct Selection Tool
4. Try to increase the width of the rectangle, by dragging one side of the shape (not a single point, but the whole side in a move).
5. On my system, I see that Illustrator behaves in a wrong way; it is like Illustrator is snapping to a not aligned grid, and the rectangle begins to be distorted (see END.JPG).
If I try to move a on point at a time, instead of moving one complete side, everything seems to works fine.

Win Vista 64-bit AI CS4. Can't seem to reproduce your issue. I drag on the right side of a rectangle with grid snap on and show grid and it snaps exactly to the grid, not anywhere in between even if I start with a rectangle that was created "not-on-grid". When it snaps it snaps to distances equal to the grid spacing, though it won't snap to the grid itself. It's as if it snaps to its own internal grid. I guess that's a problem in and of itself since once you have grid snapping turned on no matter where the original rectangle was you would like it to snap to the grid lines.
EDIT: Now I see how you created the problem--with direct selection (white arrow) as opposed to full selection with bounding box (black arrow). Black arrow selection snaps to its internal grid while white arrow snaps to rhombus-like snapping. I guess it's designed to be used with individual points and not with edges. (AI doesn't have edge-snapping).

Touchup-Objektwerkzeug - Probleme mit Illustrator CS4

Hoffe das mir jemand rasch bei meinem Problem mit dem Acroabt 9 Touchup-Objektwerkzeug und Illustrator CS4 helfen kann.
Ich habe seit heute das Phänomen, das wenn ich bei einem PDF etwas mit dem TouchUp-Objektwerkzeug anwähle und im Illustrator bearbeiten möchte, ich nach dem schliessen und speichern im Illustrator, im PDF das ausgewählte Objekt versetzt angezeigt wird und alle aus Illustrator anwählbaren Marken (Schnittmarken, Passermarken usw.) mit angezeigt und plaziert werde.

Das habe ich befürchtet.
Danke für den Tipp.
Hoffentlich finde ich heute Abend Zeit dafür ;-)

Brush Problems with Illustrator CS4... the line does not draw with my mouse movement

When I use any other brush besides the Calligraphic Brushes from the "Artistic Ink" brush library, I press down with either my Wacom Tablet or mouse, and the line does not appear to draw. Then I release the button on the mouse or lift my pen tablet up, the lines appears. Sometimes, a little "dot dot dot" line appears when the brush stroke it going to appear. But most of the time, it's just nothing, and then the line appears after I've drawn it.
However, with the preselected brushed at the top, and the Calligraphic Artistic Brushes, the line appears as I am drawing it. This is what I want for the other brushes.
Is this normal?! I just recently upgraded to Windows 7, and reinstalled the Adobe Suite. I can't remember if Illustrator did this before I reinstalled it, but I'm not sure it did otherwise it would have annoyed me as much as it does now. Can anybody help me?

Hi!
Hope I'm not hijacking this thread.
First time posting to a forum.
I'm having the same problem and followed the advice for changing the file name in the Illustrator CS# Settings folder.
This solved the problem of seeing predicted brush paths for very basic brushs, but I still can't get a preview path for any of the ink brushs.
I've seen video tutorials which demonstrate inking techniques and the ink brush predicted path was clearly working in those tutorials.
I'm assuming therefore that I should be able to see some type of preview when using the ink brushs.
Any advice would be great!
Cheers!

Problems with illustrator CS4 and win 7 64 bit pencil and bruch tools

I just bought a computer with Windows 7 64 bit version. Whenever I use the Pencil tool and the brush tool, I can't see my lines as I draw them, only after I draw. Also sometimes the first item I draw disappears, and lines will sometimes be randomly broken, with pieces missing.
Is anyone else experiencing this? And have you found a way to get around it?
I tried changing the compatability mode for the program to work for Windows XP, but that hasn't helped.

Nor should it. Issues such as you describe them are usually graphics driver issues or problems with specific input devices such as tablets which compatibility modes can't fix, as they use the same drivers. So what is it you are using on that end?

Hi blair4 ,
You can simply hit "control+T" to open a new tab. I hope this is what you mean.

Problems installing Illustrator

Hi! I am having problems installing Illustrator CS4 from CD onto computer with Windows 8. I keep getting an error message telling me to shut down Bridges before installation can continue. I've gone to my Control Panel and Adobe Bridges is not even listed there. So how can I shut it down to install AI?

You probably want to open the Task Manager to shut it down (Ctrl-Alt-Delete -> Task Manager).

Illustrator CS4 not longer working in Windows 7 - reload no help

Hello> Hope someone here can help out. Just back from 3 weeks away and Illustrator CS4 no longer loads in our Windows 7 system. We have the Master Suite - Educational version and it just stopped loading. Tried reinstalling twice and it still doesn't load. Don't know what the problem is - other programs seem to be working. Do I unistall the whole suite and reinstall fromscratch?? Ideas??
Thanks in advance.

Hello evolphin -
I ran the event viewer and came up with this:
The program Illustrator.exe version 14.0.128.0 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.
Process ID: 192c
Start Time: 01cbfef1e0a16d07
Termination Time: 7
Application Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe
Report Id: 4abb3548-6ae5-11e0-9239-6c626db9e9cd
I checked the Action Center and it only confirmed that this error occured - no solutions or reasons why it happened. I have uninstalled and re-installed the program with everything in the system shut down ie: all programs, virus scanners, firewall running in the background. I even ran the cleaner tool but the program won't launch. Not sure where to go from here.

Problems Installing Adobe Illustrator CS4 on Mac OS X Yosemite

Hi all,
When trying to install Illustrator CS4 on Mac OS X Yosemite, I receive an error: "required resources are missing."
Previously, I had problems using Illustrator CS4 when I upgraded to Yosemite, due to an error with the plugin "photoshopimport.aip." I had attempted to uninstall Illustrator, but the uninstall also gave me errors. I ultimately used the CC Cleaner Tool to remove Illustrator.
Now, however, I can't reinstall Illustrator CS4 either! I use the version provided on Adobe's website, so it's not a problem with a physical DVD.
Any ideas for potential solutions? Many thanks!

I don't have an Adobe installation log, and it's not hidden either. I tried installing Illustrator CS4 again, and I noticed that the install fails while ~80% through an "initializing" step. So, it fails before it even starts to generate an install log! I re-downloaded it and had the same error.
I did notice that I have some errors in the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool when I was removing Illustrator CS4. If you look at my first post, I couldn't use it, or uninstall it, so I simply used the Cleaner Tool to remove it. There are some errors in the Cleaner Tool log, such as this one:
2014-11-02 15:11:19.319 Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool[1573:8801317] The following session will be removed: bf2f18d647916c8449e4a221e4609a2

To make things worse, Adobe Support Advisor has been discontinued, which could interpret errors contained in Adobe logs.
I contacted Adobe support via chat, and they simply told me that Illustrator CS4 was not supported for Yosemite, and did not offer any further help or information...
Any other ideas? Or am I simply stuck??
Thanks for all of your advice!

Broken Illustrator CS4 "Open With" File Association

I want to open an SVG file, using Illustrator CS4. (I have the Design Premium Suite.) I cannot get it to open from Windows Explorer in CS4. Double-clicking the file opens it in CS3. Here's what I do and what happens:
1. Right-click on the SVG file in Windows Explorer.
2. Choose "Open With." A menu of programs pops up. Illustrator CS4 is not in the list, but CS3 is.
3. So I click on "Choose Program" to find CS4. The "Open With" window opens.
4. "Adobe Illustrator CS4" is not in the "Recommended Programs" list, but it is in the "Other Programs" list. However, I note that its listing has a generic icon, instead of the "Ai" CS4 icon.
5. I click on "Adobe Illustrator CS4" expecting the program to load. Instead, an error message pops up: "<filepath and filename.svg> is not a valid Win32 application."
So I started over:
1-4. Same as above.
5. Click on "Browse" to find the Illustrator.exe program file directly. I did this twice:
     a. First with the "Adobe Illustrator CS4" shortcut at: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4\Adobe Illustrator CS4.lnk". This takes me back to the "Open With" window, with the bad "Adobe Illustrator CS4" listing highlighted.
     b. Then with the actual program at: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4\Support Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe". This takes me back to the "Open With" window with "Adobe Illustrator CS3" highlighted.
What can I do to fix this?
Additional notes:
1. I was able to use "Open With" to specify several browsers to open the SVG file. So the problem seems to relate specifically to the links to Illustrator CS4, rather than any overall "Open With" functionality.
2. Right-clicking on an EPS file, and choosing "Open With," behaves exactly as right-clicking on an SVG file.
3. Right-clicking an AI file show two instances of "Adobe Illustrator CS3"-- one with a CS3 icon and one with a CS4 icon. Clicking on each entry opens the correct program for the icon, however.
How do I also fix this?

First an update: I compared registry entries with the CS4 installation on my laptop. I saw that quite a few of the Adobe.Illustrator.<etc> keys were
missing, and many of the ones that were there had CS3 paths listed instead of CS4. So I uninstalled Illustrator CS4 and reinstalled it. That fixed some
problems. I also, in Windows Explorer, used Tools> Folder Options> File Types to change Illustrator CS4 to the default program to open AI, EPS, and
SVG files. I chose "Advanced" and "Edit" in the File Type dialog and noticed that some of the entries for open were missing the "Open" action. So I fixed that.
I've got the AI, EPS, and SVG files where I can open them with the correct programs now, but there are still some weirdities using right-click and Open With:
For AI files:
    There are two instances of Adobe Illustrator CS3 listed. One has a CS3 icon. The other has the CS4 icon. The AI file opens with the program
associated with the icon. If I choose Open With, then "Other Programs, there is a listing for Adobe Illustrator CS4, but it has a generic window icon and does not work. I get the "<path><filename>.ai is not a valid Win32 application" error.
For EPS files:
There are also two entries for Adobe Illustrator CS3, again one with a CS3 icon and one with a CS4 icon. Again they both open the program that matches the icon. There is also an Adobe Illustrator CS4 listed, but it has the shortcut icon for CS4 (the one with the arrow). It opens CS4. If I choose
Other Programs, the non-working, generic icon Adobe Illustrator CS4 is also listed.
For SVG files:
There are also two Adobe Illustrator CS3 listings, one with a CS3 icon and one with a CS4 icon. There is also an Adobe Illustrator CS4 listed, but with the shortcut version of the icon. They all open the program associated with the icon shown. If I choose Other Programs, the listings and icons under "Recommended Programs" are correct for both CS3 and CS4, plus there is a CS4 listing with the generic icon.
Is there any way to fix this stuff without uninstalling/reinstalling the whole Design Premium suite? While the reinstall of Illustrator CS4 did fix
some things, it also broke some. It reinstalled a bunch of ancillary programs, like ExtendScript that I didn't tell it to reinstall. I ran Adobe
update and now ExtendScript and and Adobe Drives service update fail to update. I ran the update from Acrobat. Looking in Illustrator, the update
button is grayed out and completely unavailable.

Illustrator CS4 Crash on Save help!

I have Illustrator CS4 on both Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64 platforms. Whenever I attempt to save work via save, save as, or save for web and devices, the program stalls and crashes. I have not found a working solution, the Printer Spooler is not the problem, so what is causing this problem? I have reinstalled the program and even OS to try and fix this. It works the first few times I use it then starts to save crash. If someone has a solution please help as I need the program to do my work!

This solution solved my crash problem today!!!!
Couldnt for the life of me work out why my file kept crashing, on save, selecting anything even just moving around the screen it would crash.
Tried all of the solutions on the Adobe forum, nothing worked, until....
Relinked the one JPG file i had linked in my file to a PSD instead and it has'nt crashed once. The offending jpg had a clipping mask applied to it.
Not ideal (to have to not link JPGs) but least its stable now.
Thanks so much for the tip comicstar, I lost about 6 hours trying to get my file finished, sorted in 5 minutes after it stopped crashing.
Cheers,
Dooda

Illustrator CS4 view doesn't match view of same file in Acrobat

We're seeing a pretty strange problem with Illustrator CS4 (Mac and PC). The problem seems to happen ins CS5 and CS6 as well. We have a complex piece of artwork for a foil blister and we use a paragraph of text that has 3 transforms applied to which effectively step and repeat the paragraph of text in a repeat pattern across the artwork. This setup very precisely as it needs to be 100% accurate for print purposes as several units are printed side by side and the repeat runs across the units. Everything is setup correctly in Illustrator and then we re-save as a PDF with 'Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities' on.
We genearally save as a PDF 1.6 but we have tried all the combinations now. The file still looks perfect in Illustrator but when the PDF is opened in Acrobat (any version) the step and repeat (transform) on the paragraph of text is now no longer in alignment on onside of the artwork but still OK on one side. No matter what we do we can't fix this problem andit's recreatable each time. Also it's not file specific as we can build a new file and it will also exhibit the problem. We're only talking about a tiny jump here - <0.2mm but this means the artwork is out of spec. Any help is gratefully received!!!!

Hi Russell
Never a dumb question if it it had pointed us in the right direction. Yes the fonts are all embedded (legally). We tried the Acrobat Preferences but the don't make any difference. If we outline the fonts in Illustrator the problem still happens when we do a save as so it doesn't seem to be a font issue.

Illustrator CS4 crashes when Photoshop is open

Hi, I have a problem with Illustrator CS4. Whenever I have Photoshop CS4 open at the same time as it, the program crashes completely, giving no error message to indicate why.
It runs totally fine as long as Photoshop isn't already open, or as long as you don't open Photoshop while it is still running. This is a nightmare when I want to draw certain things in Illustrator and then copy them over to Photoshop.
Anyone else experienced this or have any idea how to fix it?
My system specs:
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU [email protected]
3.5gb Ram
XP service pack 3

Opened up task manager as suggested before opening the programs, and noticed there were more processes running than expected. I ran Spybot Search & Destroy which seems to have picked up a few things ad-aware hadn't, and following a reset, the problem now seems to have disappeared.
Hopefully this is what was causing the problem and it isn't just pure chance that it is working ok for now...
Cheers for the suggestions
