Trial to Cd edition Illustrator CS3

Hi, i am new at this...I downloaded a trial of CS3 Illustrator. I now purchased the CD from Adobe for Illustrator CS3. Should I uninstall the trial or just add the serial number to the Trial edition to make it not a trial anymore. Thank you.

You provided everything except for the most important detail: how much available space do you have on your hard drive(s)?

How to edit PPD List Illustrator CS3?

Hi all,
Recently updated a printer driver, which has resulted in a really long PPD list through which I have to scroll when I send something  to print. I know in Quark there's a way that one can edit the list by turning off unwanted PPDs. Is this possible in Illustrator? a nd how might I do it?   
This is probably really simple, but I'm relatively new to CS3 so anyone who could enlighten me would be appreciated.
Thanks,  Siobhan.

You will have to teach your user how to edit the source in an
external application.
Make it possible:
1. Edit, Administer websites
2. Users and Roles, pick the proper role, Edit Role Settings
3. go to Editing and check 'Allow users to edit source in
external application'
To adjust which application:
1. Edit, Preferences
2. File editors
3. pick Web page Source
4. adjust the setting as you like with the program you

Where can I download Adobe Illustrator CS3 Trial version ?

Hi
I'd like to test Illustrator CS3 but I cannot find any download location on Google and here on Adobe website.
Could you give me the URL ?
Thank you very much.

For me, the real question is: Where can I download Adobe Illustrator CS3 version. I don't need a Trial Version I need the product itself, but I don't find anywhere to download it. I have my Software License Certificate, with Win Serial Number but I lost de CD, so it's simple: I want an URL to download it, install it and continue using the product.

Which Illustrator CS3 files are editable in Microsoft Word?

Dear all
I need to design something using InDesign and Illustrator CS3 (or just one of these depending on the responses I get).
Is is possible to save a particular file type out of either Illustrator or InDesign which can then be opened & edited in Microsoft Word (on a PC)? It would mainly just be text which would need to be edited in Word afterwards.
Thanks in advance,
Adam

>Which Illustrator CS3 files are editable in Microsoft Word?
None of them.
>Is is possible to save a particular file type out of either Illustrator or InDesign which can then be opened & edited in Microsoft Word (on a PC)?
You can export text from InDesign and open/edit that text file in Word, but you will not get layout, page size, columns, margins, or graphics. You can export art from Illustrator as EMF or PNG (I much prefer PNG) them import those graphics normally and position as you want.
Making your Illustrator or InDesign file into an editable Word file means doing a lot of it over again in a much worst interface.

Need illustrator cs3 trial download

HEY EVERYONE, I NEED A TRIAL OF ILLUSTRATOR CS3 BECAUSE MY BUDDY BOUGHT ILLUSTRATOR CS3 A WHILE AGO BUT HE NEVER USED IT SO I BOUGHT IT OFF OF HIM. WHEN CS3 WAS STILL OUT I DOWNLOADED A TRIAL AND INSTALLED IT BUT IT DIDN'T INSTALL ALL THE WAY SO I HAVE NO WAY OF REMOVING IT. I NEED THE TRIAL SO I CAN FINISH INSTALLING IT AND THEN UNINSTALL IT AND INSTALL THE ONE THAT I BOUGHT

At least it wasn't bold, Scott. Anyway have you tried the CS3 Clean Script from the Adobe site? This should get rid of any problem parts of a trial install.

Cannot install trial PS CS3 : "Please insert Illustrator CS3 to continue installation"

Hi,
For school I need the Flash CS3, Illustrator CS3 and Photoshop CS3 software,
My teacher said it was convenient to DOWNLOAD and install the trial-software this weekend, so we can start the lessons properly on monday. Next week we will receive the keys to activate the software.
Now I have installed Flash and Illustrator, but when I try to install the Photoshop software, I get this :
http://img366.imageshack.us/img366/1808/afbeelding1yd5.png
The setup asks to insert the Illustrator CS3, but I don't have this because I downloaded the trial-software from the Adobe website..
Can anyone tell me what to do?
Thanks!
Mattias

Mattias,
First, I've never done trial downloads of any CS3 content. But there is no reason why a standalone version of Photoshop should be dependent upon installation of another Adobe application. Sounds like something is scrambled here.
But, something else comes to mind. What kind of licensing is this? Where is your teacher getting activation keys for the software?

Editing symbol in Illustrator cs3 sends the result miles off artboard?

When I enter "edit mode" of an illustrator CS3 symbol (to be used in flash), upon exiting edit mode, the symbol leaves the art board only to be found far away in the upper left corner of the document. Moreover, this cannot be undone!
Any thoughts?

You could provide a sample . ai file, so other users may inspect it and see if they can observe the same issue as you do.

Illustrator CS3 Trial

I was trying to download an CS 3 Trial version to see if and
how it'll open my Freehand MX Files. I thought this process was a
complete disgrace! I tried and tried and I still haven't a trial
version. The Process to register takes ages and just when u click
on download nothing happens. Has anybody got a working trial from
the Adobe site? Is there an alternative to Illustrator?
I doubt it since Corel has stopped doing Mac Software. Is
Quark Inc. doing anything to keep the market open and consumer
friendly? Probably not cause they sell the most expensive Program.
Why is it that people have to buy Software which is overpriced and
obsolete after 3 or 4 years?

Illustrator CS3 opens FH files surprisingly well. Some
effects and gradients are omitted but my test files had for example
all the text elements as they were in the original.

Illustrator CS3 not compatible with Vista

I downloaded the trial version of Illustrator CS3 because my previous program - Freehand, is not compatible with Vista. The Adobe site stated that Illustrator was capable of importing and editing Freehand files so I gave it a try.
Well, it does import the files with only a few minor font issues. BUT, when you try to SAVE or EXPORT it returns the error message: "can't save illustration". In other words, you can import, work, design, etc. but when it comes time to save or export your work, you can't. So the program is completely worthless.
Adobe should have made this bug or conflict clear before releasing the product with Vista compatibility and stating that it could import Freehand 9 files. What good is importing the files if you can't save them after making the changes?
I would caution anybody to wait until there is a patch or at least try the trial version before spending a lot of time and money on a program, only to find you can not save or export your work!

>I finished editing a project in 2.0 and installed CS3 to finish. Now when I try to render the project it crashes and then I when I restart all of my media is unlinked so I relink save, crash, repeat forever. I guess I need to reinstll 2.0 this CS crap isn't working for me.
I had a similar problem. I started a 60-minute documentary under Premiere 6.5 and finished it in Pro 2.0. Nightmares!
I thus recommend starting and finishing each project in one version. I also recommend that when you get a version of Premiere running well on a particular system and you want to upgrade, you build an entirely new system and upgrade on THAT sys. Keep the old system because you have possibly scores or hundreds of hours into getting it to work perfectly. Sell these old systems off as turn-key systems to editors that are less experienced and don't need the power (yet). I have been doing this and it works out well. I am also developing a chain of trainees who will someday be able to COMPLETELY TAKE OVER MY EDITING POST AND THUS RELEASE ME FROM THIS HELL (so I can go back to producing and directing).

Copying objects from Illustrator CS3 to FreeHand 11.0.2

Working on a Mac in OSX 10.4.11, I was able to select and copy objects in an open Illustrator CS2 file and paste them into an open FreeHand 11.0.2 file, where they would be fully editable. After migrating to OSX 10.6.2 and upgrading to CS3, this no longer works - the objects selected and copied from Illustrator either do not appear (only corner indicators are visible) or a pale version appears as an uneditable low-rez image with funny colors....
Because there are so many missing features in Illustrator, it's important for me to be able to work back and forth between the two apps. Has anyone been able to achieve this (formerly) simple interactivity?

I got the following post from Danny Haas:
If you go to Edit>Special>Paste Special and then select AI/EPS from the list
it should paste just fine. It works well for me.
Worked for me too, although text was not imported as editable text. To do
that had to special paste the text separately as unformatted text, and then
reformat in FH.

I skipped AICS3, but now use AICS4 for some tasks.
The only solution I've found is to save the AI CS4 file as AI 8, open that
in FHMX and copy from there.

How to open an Arabic PDF in Illustrator CS3 ME without outlining the font?

Hi,
I need to use Illustrator CS3 ME (Middle East) in order to edit some pages of an Arabic PDF file.
Now, the problem is that as soon as I open the page in Illustrator, all of the Arabic text gets outlined. The English text doesn't get outlined.
I need to edit the text, so this is a big problem.
I don't have the original source files (InDesign).
Also, it is too much editing to be doing in Acrobat.
Is there some sort of solution for this?
Thanks,
Ola

Hi,
The font is Arial, which fully supports Arabic, as far as I know.
How do I enable glyph protection in the prefs?
How do I set the glyph substituion in the type palette? I am sorry for the
ignorance, but I usually work with InDesign, and quite rarely with
Ilustrator. This is a special case for me...
The formatting is very ordinary. Nothing special.
I really hope there is some solution for this....
Ola
2010/6/4 Mylenium <[email protected]>
What fonts does it use? Is glyph protection enabled in teh prefs? What are
the settings for glyph substitution in the type palette? Does it have any
specific formatting? If it gets outlined, it was probably mangled in ways
that prevent using the life font or the relevant font is missing
alltogether...

Activate / Deactivate Illustrator CS3 - Volume License

Hi Guys,
Well to start this topic, I must say I have never received such poor support for software as I have "received" from Adobe Chat Support team..
The case is as follows;
We have a volume license for Adobe Illustrator CS3 and haven't used it since somwhere before 2010. In 2010 we have moved to another city with our company. Therewith also renewing all hardware for our stylists. For over 5 years we haven't used Illustrator CS3, so we never thought about de-activating the software before getting rid of the old hardware. Since a couple months we have a new manager on the styling department, whom wants to introduce Illustrator again. Since all the stylists will need to be trained again for Illustrator, we'd like to do this in the CS3 version before upgrading to CC or CS6.
So the issue that comes up, is that I cannot activate the software, because the serial number that I've received many years ago, when buying the volume license, has been used too many times. This is because it was never deactivated on the old hardware.
The only option I had was to contact Support via Chat or Phone. Since I like to keep track on what have been said by both parties, I decided to go for the chat option..
If any of the Adobe Staff is reading along, the case number is 0215516123.
In a nutshell; If you have a retail version of a discontinued product with adobe, they can reset the activation count without any problems. If you buy bulk and have volume license, it all comes to this; please upgrade to the latest version.. There is nothing we can do for you..
Here is the complete chat log with 2 employees of Adobe, who are just not willing to help in ANY way.. I must say this really tested my patience and counting to ten skills..
Still looking for a solution tho, so any help is appreciated highly!
Thanks in advance!

and thats probably because the old computers that we're phased out in 2010 had illustrator cs3 running on them. But since we didn't use it back then, we never thought about deactivating them..

ME:
yes I could only activate 2 of the 11
07:53:58
Deepti:
I would have loved to help you in getting these license activated however, we are not supporting CS3 anymore. This is a very old version of Creative suite that you have.
07:55:44
ME:
I know that, but it is a license we paid for and still are i title to use according to the license rights.. And as I said, we have the intention to upgrade them this year to the latest CC or CS6 version. But we need to start somewhere again and still have these licenses. I work for 3 companies in the group I work for. And 2 of them have all of the latest versions available. This company is a little behind on things, but we do need your help to get further..
08:03:06
Deepti:
I would have helped if it would have been cs6 or CC. This is an obsolete product and we are not supporting it anymore. You can refer to forums.
08:03:46
ME:
How will the forums help me on activating licenses.. I'm not asking for product support, I'm asking for license activation support, for licenses that we have paid for!
08:04:53
ME:
Clearly it is only some reset button you have to use to empty out the registration/activations from before 2010.
08:05:33
ME:
To show we are trying to keep up to date with licenses and latest versions you can see the volume licenses registered to
08:06:05
ME:
I really don't understand the mindset where you don't help out a paying customer
08:06:22
Deepti:
I am sorry but we don't have any reset button for volume licenses.
08:07:23
ME:
It was ment figurely.. There must be something you can do to help? I get the feeling that the support you are "giving" only means getting customers to pay more for the latest versions.
08:07:50
ME:
which as said we will upgrade somewhere this year.. But my stylists need training first
08:08:03
ME:
Hence thats what we need to activate them for right now
08:08:52
ME:
We paid for the license and are in title to use them.. But you are blocking that right now..
08:09:09
ME:
Which is totally outrageous
08:11:33
Deepti:
Yes you are entitled to use them. You have the serial key. You can install the product and use it till the time you want. It's just that Adobe has stopped providing support for obsolete versions.
08:12:49
ME:
I understand, but since I cannot activate them over the internet It only works for 30 days... The connection is fine, the serial is volume licensing.. But adobe says no sorry cannot activate because of too many activations.. And I only used 2 out of 11.. So please provide me a solution!
08:22:05
Deepti:
I am so sorry but there is nothing that I can do . I mean I don't have any deactivation button that I could use to deactivate the license for you.
08:23:22
ME:
So what happens when a customer has CS6 and the hardware was disposed of, on which CS6 was installed and wasn't deactivated? He buys new hardware and has the same problem as I currently have.. What do you tell that customer? I'm sorry there is nothing we can do for you? I really doubt that..
08:30:23
Deepti:
CS6 version is still in the support boundary hence, if there is any activation issue that you are facing with CS6 , we would be supporting you for that.
08:31:38
ME:
Wow.. I have never ever experienced such poor support for software as I have today with you from Adobe.. This is really dissapointing, especially if you spend that much money on licenses to be compliant..
08:32:26
ME:
So please tell me, what options do I have to make this work?
08:51:01
ME:
It would be appreciated if you can answer my question?
08:59:50
Deepti:
I am sorry but this is out of support boundary. You can refer to the forums , I am sure you will find some information related to the activation queries.
09:01:22
ME:
I am reading on the support forums that support of adobe needs to clear the current activations..
09:01:34
ME:
Only you @ adobe can do that
09:02:28
ME:
You should be able to tell me how many activations of the CS3 illustrator are currently done in the licensing portal
09:02:37

Can't open EPS files in Illustrator CS3 since installing CS6

I'm on Windows 7, and need to be able to open .eps files with Illustrator CS3. Since installing CS6 yesterday I'm no longer able to associate EPS files with Illustrator CS3. When I right click an eps and go to "open with", only Illustrator CS6 is listed. When I "choose default program", only Illustrator CS6 is listed. If I "browse" and manually select the Illustrator CS3 executable, it still defaults to CS6. Using the same process with .ai files works fine, there is no issue. However these .eps files are not behaving like .ai files. If anyone could suggest a solution to my problem I would be very grateful.
EDIT:
Also, attempting to set the default program through the "set associations" control panel doesn't work, after selecting the Illustator CS3 executable it still shows up as CS6.

Some research solved my issue. Need to create a registry entry for Illustrator CS3 (v13) in the eps file extension section of the windows 7 registry.
1. Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.eps\OpenWit hProgids
2. Create a new "binary value" key called "Adobe.Illustrator.13" (leave the value blank).
That's it. CS3 is now a valid choice for eps files. Hope this helps anyone who has the same issue.
