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.

PDFs saved in Excel, Opened in Illustrator CS2

I've had two issues to tackle, but recently figured out a solution for one of them. My other issue regards overprint.
I'm working on a 2-color publication. It seems that when i open a PDF saved in Excel, or paste an excel document, into an Illustrator (CS2) document, all my black is not marked to overprint, and this is an issue with my printer. Should be an easy fix, but these excel files contain charts with bars and other lines on them that break up into separate lines (and strokes) once opened in Illustrator. In order for me to mark the black with overprint, I have to use the Direct Selection Tool and select every single piece of black art and check "overprint fill" or "overprint stroke" or both! It's tedious work that I don't really have the patience nor the time to deal with. Is there anything I can do to avoid this? Anything I can do in Excel while printing to PDF or in Illustator to help alleviate this mess??

Missing PDF Presets in Illustrator CS2 - Please Help

I use Adobe Illustrator CS2 for work (running on Windows 7 32-bit). I am not sure how it happened, but I suddenly can ONLY save a PDF using the Illustrator Default option in the Adobe PDF Preset field. I no longer have the option to save a PDF using as Press Quality, Smallest File Size, etc.
I have searched around the web and have not been able to find any good info on how to restore these presets. Any help with correcting this would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

how to restore these presets.
By reinstalling any Adobe app that makes use of the shared PDF components. The presets themselves are stored in the pertinent program folder and also in your user data folder. In fact if you simply create a new user account they may magically show up because they were re-created/ copied with factory defaults... On the other hand that may also point to possible permissions issues with your own user account - the files may be there, but inaccessible due to insufficient privileges. Other than that really simply reinstall.

Illustrator 12 (CS2) help does not appear in Adobe Help Center 2.0

Hi, I've just installed Illustrator CS2 today and I wanted to search for something in the help center but the only 2 products that appear in it are Photoshop CS2 and After FX CS2. I've restartred the computer to see if it would resolve the problem, but no..
So I need help in enabling Illustrator info in Help center.
Oh, and neither does Audition 3 appear in there.

I forgot one detail. This happened while I was having trouble seeing the mouse cursor (I use Apple's Magic Mouse). It had disappeared briefly. I had to drag the cursor out of the Firefox Window for it to reappear. I accidentally entered full screen view while the cursor was not visible.

Illustrator CS2 Printing Help - Epson R1900

Hi there,
I've been printing to my Epson R1900 with no problems from Illustrator CS2 from my Macbook for a year without a problem. I got a new Macbook, only slightly newer than the last, reinstalled Illustrator, and now my print quality is in the gutter. I've tried to adjust the print settings, which I never had to do before, and it's still very poor. What I am printing are just graphics I've drawn on-screen. No images. In the Output section of Print Presets, I can't adjust anything except Right Reading or Left Reading. Can anyone help? I don't know what changed. All of the printer drivers are the same and are installed. The strokes of lines look pixelated, as does the text. I know I could do "Create Outlines" to sharpen it, but I never had to do that before, and I want to be able to edit the text later.
Hopefully someone can help.
Thank you for your time.
Keli

You upgraded your OS as well and that is what has changed you will not be able to print from the epson R1900 with smooth curved lines or smooth paths.
Simply not possible in the newer OS above 10.5.
This is what you must do, Print from Acrobat or if you wish rasterize the art and print that.
Or save it a psd rasterized and print that from Photoshop.
Or purchase a RIP software.

CS2 Help Center quits when opened in Illustrator

I had to reinstall Illustrator CS2 (v12.1) today and found that after installing, my CS2 Help Center did not work. The window appears, then quits suddenly. I tried moving the Prefs and .plist for it to the desktop, but it did not help. It also does not work when launched from other CS2 apps, like Photoshop.
Using Mac v10.4. Font utility is Font Explorer.

You could try first flattenening the fields. This converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript, PDF Optimizer, or a Preflight fixup.

Hello! I just figured this out.....When Firefox is open, my Illustrator CS2 modifier keys stop working? As soon as I shut down Firefox, they start working again. Please help! Thanks!

Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

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.)

Help with symbol libraries! (Illustrator CS2)

Hi
(Program is Illustrator CS2)
I am trying to make some symbol libraries of my most common symbols for ease of access. The problem is I want them to load up when Illustrator starts. I have managed to do this with one of the libraries but have no idea how!! The option of setting the window to persistent just appeared and now it doesn't seem to be an option for the rest? Can anyone help? what am I doing wrong?

>I want them to load up when Illustrator starts.
Edit your startup files. There are two: one for CMYK, another for RGB documents. You'll find instructions in Help.

I need help - My illustrator CS2 just quit working. Can anyone help?

I went to open a file yesterday and illustrator just freezes on me. won't open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but no luck. My photo shop is working fine but Indesign now asks for serial number and then tells me it is not valid. Panic here as Adobe states they will not support/help me even if I pay. They say illustrator CS2 is to old. It does what I need for my business and must have it up and running again. Short of buying the update - does anyone out there know of something I can try to resolve this? HELP ME PLEASE???? Karen

You are a life saver!!!! It worked! Thank You so much - Why couldn't
Adobe just sent this to me in the first place. It would have made my life

Illustrator CS2 won't open - PLEASE help!

I have been using Adobe Illustrator CS2 for many years now and never had a problem..
I tried opening Illustrator CS2 today and after waiting an unusually long amount of time for the application to open, an error message appeared that said "A serious issue has ocurred. Please Reinstall application." I reinstalled the entire CS2 and I am still encountering the same issue.
I have a new MacBook Pro and have used Illustrator on this computer multiple times. This is the first time I have had problems on this or any computer. PLEASE HELP

Sine the CS2 package is over 5 years old you were probably just lucky it worked for as long as it did. I'm not too sure but I think you might need to run it under Rosetta (if it is installed). Do a Get Info on the application and see if the option to run under Rosetta is there.

Help with installing illustrator CS2

when trying to install my full version of adobe illustrator CS2 my system informed me that I couldn't because my hard disk was a non HFS volume and that it needed to be formatted as HFS...how do I do this???
thanks

When you installed OS X did you format the drive for the Unix Filesystem or for Mac OS Extended? If it is formatted Mac OS Extended perhaps the drive is corrupted. Try repairing the drive.
Disk formatting and repair is done using the Disk Utility located in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder.
If your drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (HFS+) and the drive is OK, then perhaps there is a problem with the Adobe installer in which case you need to contact Adobe for support because these forums do not provide third-party support.

Illustrator cs2 creates pdf with anomalies

I have Illustrator cs2 (12.0.1) and I create pdfs with it and send these to my clients for proofing. When I view the pdf in acrobat standard 6 it looks fine. When my sales people and clients view it in reader 8 they get a color break down that is incorrect. For example they see a color that should not be there (in the pdf below it is the blue cyan in the logo). So I need to figure out how to fix this problem. Also it does not happen on every pdf.
here is a link to a pdf
www.ebfchurch.org/usb3.pdf
In the link is a pdf that has a problem, and a jpeg to show what it should look like.
When I save the pdf I have tried turning illustrator off ill. editing capabilities and saved as a V.7 pdf. Not sure what else to try besides making the logo a jpg. Would upgrading to reader 8 help? Would this add that to my selections in illustrator?
The other anomalies are I's and some lines becoming a dotted line. This one is rarer and is easy to fix (somewhat). I simply rotate the object by a super small portion that no one would notice.
Thanks for any help.

Most likely some color separation or transparency flattening thing. Could also be the order of your groups/ shapes. Just hard to tell. For testing, I would save a PDF and do a preflight check in Acrobat or other such tool. This usually reveals any problematic stuff...
