Unable to save a 'smallest size file' pdf from illustrator 5.5

We recently insalled Adobe Standard 5.5
I often save PDF files from Illustrator using the built in PDF options available from the PDF drop down menu bar when saving files. Usually I will save a visual as a 'smallest file size' or make use of the 'high quality print' option for other files etc.
Why cant I do this on CS5.5?
In addition, the colour is not acurate at all!
Please help

Hi Scott - I found the following thread on the net. So I had a look on my time machine back-ups and copied the files from there, which I then pasted into my Settings folder as you suggested.
Ta da!! All working again!
Any idea how I could restore these settings from a backup?
Thanks!
The PDF presets reside in Root/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/
After I had installed 10.6.5, 6 preset files were removed from the Settings folder. The folder tree itself remained, it was just that some of the contents of "Settings" were deleted. I have fixed the problem by copying the deleted settings files from a backup.
These are the files which were deleted:
Smallest File Size.joboptions
Press Quality.joboptions
PDFX4 2008.joboptions
PDFX3 2002.joboptions
PDFX1 2001.joboptions
High Quality Print.joboptions
These files were not deleted:
Standard.joboptions
PDFA1b 2005 RGB.joboptions
PDFA1b 2005 CMYK.joboptions
Oversized Pages.joboptions
Somebody at Adobe community support for Indesign directed me to restore these files from a backup, which solved the problem.

Unable to save a copy of encrypted pdf with Acrobat Pro 10.0

I create an encrypted pdf using prince a tool to convert HTML documents to pdf. I am unable to save a copy of the pdf file when i use Acrobat Pro 10.0.
It displays the following error
"The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document(21)."
However Acrobat Reader (basic) allows me to do so.
I am also able to save a copy of the document with Acrobat pro 7. I raised this issue with Prince and they told me that it could probably be a bug/unwanted behaviour with Acrobat Pro 10.0

How can print a file PDF from form

Hi to all,
I need to print a file PDF from form (developer 6i), Is IT POSSIBLE?
Thank you
Silvia

"Print" probably won't work for a pdf file. As the HOST command try:
host('<path_to>/AcroRd32.exe /t pathname "printername" "drivername" "portname"');See "How do I use the Windows command line with Acrobat and Adobe Reader?" in:

What is your operating system?
Can you open that PDF with a text editor and check that the first four characters are '%PDF'.

Exporting to PDF from Illustrator ... a problem

Hi All,
I'm writing you as I have a small problem when I export to PDF from Illustrator.
In Illustrator the size of the page is 21,51X34,71 ... but when I save in PDF the size of the page is 13X14
I have to save in PDF as the printer is waiting for the file.
Any help?
thanks a lot

thanks for your answer and ... please, sorry me about my less of information.
I'm using the illustrator CC and the operating system is Os X Yosemite.
I'm doing exactly .. like that: save As a copy >> PDF
and I'm using the Adobe Reader ... when the reader opens the file the property of the size page and the drawing change.

How to export or print PDF from Illustrator with crop and reg marks?

Hi all,
I realise this is probably a very obvious question, but I've just upgraded from CS3 to CS5.5, and I'm tearing my hair out with the loss of Adobe PDF printer driver. I've looked on forums and can't find this question - prob. so obvious that no one else has asked it.
Can't seem to export as PDF from Illustrator ,only 'save as'. This doesn't give me my crop marks. I've tried putting in crop marks - Effects/Crop Marks - but this places the marks outside my trim, at the edges of my background image, which comes out 2mm all round for bleed purposes.
How can I set crop marks to denote the dimensions of the page size, regardless of how much crap I've got spilling out over the edges for bleed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
PS: Bring back the PDF Printer Driver pleeeease!

You can turn on crop & trim marsk when doing a save as to PDF. But turn on some bleed values greater than 0 (not as in my screenshot) or you will not get any bleed of your artwork, just the marks then.

Creating a correctly separated PDF from Illustrator in Acrobat Reader 7,8,9

I work in an organisation with users having various versions of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader.
We need to create a PDF from Illustrator, I guess by using 'save as', that can be correctly displayed in Acrobat 7 onwards.
A flattened PDF views correctly in all versions, but doesn't allow some users to view separations as it converts to CMYK.
My understanding is that PDF-X could ensure overprint is on, so the PDF will display correctly. But, for versions 7 and 8 overprint preview will need to be activated in order for the PDF to be correctly displayed.
Does anyone know of another solution, in that we could create a PDF, correctly separated and viewable in Acrobat Reader 7, 8, 9.
Thanks

Why are your Reader users using different versions? It's a free download. Get them all on the current version.

Have you tried File>Scripts>SaveDocsAsPDF? There should be a folder of sample scripts installed in your AICS3 folder and a folder of documentation which contains an Illustrator AppleScript Reference which has examples.

Unable to save ANY types of files in Elements 5.0

Today I was working with Elements, creating a photomanipulation. This involved several layers, including a background of a beach, a horse, and some text. I've done this before with this exact same program on this exact same computer and not had too many problems. But not today.
Today when I try to save my creation, in ANY format, I get this message:
Could not save as
"C:\Users\User\...\Untitled-1.jpg" because the file is already in use or was left open.
GAHH!!!! Well of COURSE the stupid file is open, I'm working ON IT and trying to save my work!!! If I try to close the file, I get the standard question:
Save changes to the Adobe Photoshop Elements document "Untitled-1" before closing?
to which if I say yes, I get the same old crap:
Could not save as
"C:\Users\User\...\Untitled-1.jpg" because the file is already in use or was left open.
Now if I select save as *PSD or *PDD, *SOMETIMES* it acts like it has saved my work, (Instead of just saying it can't) but when I look for what I saved, all I find are a bunch of crap files that can't be opened. Example:
Cannot open 'C:\Users]User\Pictures\Photo Manips\~ps2AA0.tmp' because it is the wrong type of file.
Please note that I never actually chose to save ANY files called ~ps2aa0.tmp at any point in this process.
So I am stuck in a vicious cycle where before everything was working just fine. And it's not just editing photos or doing manipulations. I can take a brand new blank canvas, scribble a line on it with a paintbrush, and I am completely and totally unable to save even the simplest thing in ANY format whatsoever.
I tried uninstalling Elements and reinstalling it and that did absolutely nothing, except cause me to lose all the special effect brushes I spent hours downloading. And when I started it back up, I was right where I was before, it even had the same custom color preloaded on the palette, as if it did not truly uninstall AT ALL. (Just the special brushes were missing, thanks for nothing!)
My computer is maybe 8 months old now, a nice Hewlitt Packard with Vista. I specifically bought this computer so I could do more things with my art and more photos, and the first thing I loaded on it was the Bamboo tablet by Wacom, which came with Photoshop Elements 5.0 free. I've been using it ever since with hardly a problem and now today, I can't save the simplest little thing, and it is really aggravating me to death.
ANY light that anyone could shed on this would be most appreciated. I'm sure it's something extremely stupid, like I found the secret invisible "do not save anything ever again" button and somehow managed to press it. Whatever it is, I can not for the life of me figure out how to make it work like it's SUPPOSED to work. Somebody please help me before I go stark raving mad.

Further note: I have uninstalled this stupid program now THREE different times, including using a registry cleaner, which then deleted my DVD drive, thankyouverymuch. And even after I got the DVD drive back so I could reinstall the program, it was like I'd never uninstalled it (with the exception of the custom brushes still being missing) right down to the canvas size and paint color I had been using when all this started.
So uninstalling it does nothing, resetting preferences does nothing... I can not save my work, period. I've been fighting with this for about 8 hours and I am so frustrated I could just throttle someone with my bare hands for putting me through this crap.
For a product that came bundled with a $200 graphics tablet, it sure isn't worth a damn. Anybody got any ideas? I'm at my wits' end here.

You need Acrobat Pro, unless you have a Mac, and then you can "Save as PDF" from the print settings.

Can't create a multiple file PDF from PDF forms created in Designer

Hi
I want to create a single PDF which combines 6 pdf forms created in Adobe Designer (all as separate pages).
When I try to create a single PDF from these multiple files using the "Create a PDF from Multiple files" command, my A-3D won't let me do this returning a dialog box saying
"The file "filename.pdf" is protected. It cannot be used for this command".
I can't find any properties that control this, either in the original file or in A-3D. Can I overcome this and how?
Many thanks in anticipation.
Phil

Designer-created files aren't really PDF files any more and cannot be
edited or combined in Acrobat (including Acrobat 3D). You CAN make a
package of them, however, in Combine Files.

Question about making pdfs from Illustrator files

Hi, can someone tell me how to solve the following problem? I am preparing pdfs that will be loaded onto a website. At the moment, I make pdfs of each Illustrator file (corresponding to each page of the document). Our current IT guy then processes the pdfs so that when someone accesses them on the website, they can simply scroll down from one page to the next. We are changing our IT set up, however, and our new IT guy suggests that it would speed things up if we could prepare a single pdf file that contains all the pdfs relating to a single document. Does anyone know if there is the facility to do this within Illustrator? (We seem to remember it could be done in the old Freehand software.) Many thanks

Since artboards were introduced in CS4 you can create multipage pdfs directly from Illustrator.
Tiling pages in Illustrator makes a single page pdf of all your pages, so stay away from that.
Otherwise you would go into acrobat and stitch them together in either a pdf or pdf portfolfio file.
