Updating Text in Illustrator

I've had a few files that were created in Illy CS3 that I've opened in CS4. When I go to edit some of the text, I get the attached error message.
The text does indeed reflow, which I then fix to look the way it should. I save the file and close. When I reopen the file, I get the same error message. This happens when I save over the old file, save as new, anything. I can't the type in the file to hold the CS4 formatting. Any ideas?

Yes, I am saving using the CS4 format. I had gone looking for this issue before and saw something about "Legacy Text" but this is grayed out whether I select the text box or the text in the box.

We have on all macs the same system, os 10.8.3, cs6 and UTC4. And of course we`re using exactly the same font....

Packpool,
I believe the first thing to do is to update to 16.0.5.

Alter and update text from C#?

Does anybody know if it's possible to alter and update text from C#?
I've added a reference to Interop.Illustrator.dll COM type library and managed to cobble together have this bit of code
            Illustrator.Application app = new Illustrator.Application();
            Illustrator.Document doc = app.Open(
                "c:\\MyIllustratorDoc.ai",
                Illustrator.AiDocumentColorSpace.aiDocumentRGBColor,
                null);
            foreach(Illustrator.TextFrame textFrame in doc.TextFrames)
                Console.Write(textFrame.Contents);
which just dumps out the contents of all the TextFrames but from the documentation I've found, Contents and everything else that gives access to any text, is read only.
I was hoping to be able to automate the maintenance of various bits of text by picking them up from SQL Server and then amending them directly in the ai file where needed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Tim

Hi - I am looking for the Adobe Illustrator 2014 1.2 (or .0.2) bugfix update for Mac - and it is not visible in the Adobe Creative Cloud Packager (Mac version). The only update visible is Illustrator CC 2014.1 - which is what introduced the bugs.

The only thing that I can think of that might be causing the issues that I have a Mac Mini on Mavericks.

Hi
I have discovered that my question above is a non-question. A user triggered by looking at the below article about Illustrator 2014 cc 17.0.2
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/release-note/illustrator-17-0-2-release-notes.html
He had recently upgraded from wht we now know is 18.0 to 18.1 which is the latest version. He read the above artic
le and supposed that it was a bug fix release for his version - because the v17 ov18 number is not often displayed. It is usually just 2014 CC.
I have asked him to post a bug report about Adobe Illustrator CC 2014.1

A problem highlighting/selecting text in Illustrator CS3

In several instances I can't highlight text to copy or to edit, other times it works fine. If I click the radio button for the text in layers (other layers may be locked to prevent accidental selection), the baselines appears and I should be able to highlight the text, but I can't. If I highlight some other unaffected area of text successfully (unlocked layers), sometimes it will allow me to select the problem text directly after. Then it will go back to being a problem, why?

I'm using the general text tool, I've locked the other sublayers to avoid accidentally selecting those items. Then I click the radio button on the sublayer I wish to edit or copy, which reveals the baselines. Then if I click within that object to highlight text with the cursor, the text tool creates a new textbox/sublayer and does not highlight the text I intended.

Muse 3.1 crashes often upon copy and paste 'text'from illustrator

Experience persistent crashes in Muse 3.1 whenever I copy and paste text from illustrator to Muse.

I would use the older version so you can continue working while troubleshooting continues in CC2014, if you haven't uninstalled it yet (and it didn't also lose the ability to copy/paste).
Have you tried any of the usual suspects?

Problem with Update Text fields in Infoset

Hi experts,
Here i would like to rephrase the question. Normaly while working with Infosets, when press "update text fields" button, those fields having text is updated. But one of my field is not updated. I need some help from you for that.
One more question i've that my field is having check table so i would like to know how exactly the text field is updated.
scenario.
Customized IT9320 has field prt_pos added. This field is having check table T528B. But i want text field to be attached is IT1000-STEXT.
How this can be done, because i suspect that just using check table field IT1000-STEXT is not attached to IT9320-prt_pos.
Please help. I'm really got stuck here.
Thanks a lot,
Toral.
Hi,
I'm working on customised Infotype. I need to add one new customised field ie Present Position. This field has number as well as text associated with it. There is a check table attached with this field so that text can be displayed alongwith number.
I need this field in SAP/Adhoc query. But when i go to SQ02 this fields shows only value. Text is disabled for this field. I'm not sure why is it so.
I looked into other infotype which as one field using same data element, and that field shows both value as well as text. Please help me to rectify this issue for present position field.
Thanks,
Toral.

You would be much better off with one multi-line form field.
There are many problems with trying to determine when one is at the end of the display field with text entry.

Can i copy text from illustrator to indesign and retain attributes

Hello,
I received an illustrator cs3 file that I need to convert to InDesign cs3.
Is there a way to copy the type that is set in illustrator to indesign, while retaining the attributes. I need to be able to make changes on the type in indesign, so converting type to outlines isn't an option.
Thanks!
T

Even though you can change your InDesign preferences for Clipboard Handling to allow formatted information to be pasted into InDesign from other programs, unfortunately Illustrator still won't allow you paste in text with formatting. This is due to how Illustrator and InDesign handle text differently. Even if you copy the text from Illustrator and paste it into a program like Word, which has a lot of different ways to handle formatted text, Illustrator just treats text differently than other Adobe applications.

SAP VB script for updating texts in purchase orders

Hello,
I am trying to create a SAP script for updating texts in purchase orders. It is in the last third - Item Detail, Texts tab.
The script is ok apart from the fact that it always deletes whatever text is in there and than add a new one.
I would like to keep history in the texts tab and always just add one line to existing texts. Is there any way (command) how
to keep existing texts and only add a new line to the top?
Thanks a lot!
Jan

Yes, you are exactly right. I have already figured it out as well. I did not expect it would be that easy. But thanks a lot anyway for replying on this!
Now I am struggeling with changing SAPLMEGUI in vb scripts for ME22n. Sometimes, there is SAPLMEGUI:0010 and sometimes SAPLMEGUI:0015. Even when the users have the same screens in the beginning the SAPLMEGUI number differs. They also do one item by hand and than it changes. It keeps changing between SAPLMEGUI:0010 and SAPLMEGUI:0015
Is there a way how to have the same number of SAPLMEGUI or how to eliminate this issue?
Thanks a lot

Editing text using illustrator

We always used to be able to correct text using illustrator, having the font of course, however now when saving illustrator comes up with 'an unknown error has occured'.
Any ideas?

GreatWhite wasn't clear about how he/she was using Illustrator. Many people think they can open a PDF file directly in Illustrator to edit it. While this may work in certain limited situations, it can seriously alter the file, switch fonts or encoding, throw out color profiles, etc. As Dov Isaac, Adobe principal scientist has noted many times in these user forums, Illustrator was never intended for this. I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that that was what GreatWhite implied.
Yes, Illustrator can be selected as an Object editor with the Touchup Object tool to edit individual objects.

Update Error on Illustrator

For a long time after an adobe update, when I opened Illustrator again, I recieved two error messges, one when the Illustrator title screen is shown while the other is when my file opens up. Here are the two:
After checking the update status, I realized that this was not Illustrator's updated version (16.0.0 when the latest is 16.0.2). So I checked for update again, but it still failed:
The error log showed this:
Extension Manager 6.0.4 Update
Another installer is currently running, which must be closed before installing this update. Please close other installers. Error Code: U44M1P36
Touch App Plugin Update
Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7
Adobe Illustrator CS6 Update (version 16.0.2)
Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7
But I really had nothing else to install during the update. Is there something I can fix? Is the update really even necessary? This is given I can use Illustrator per normal, other than the pop-up error messages.

Hi,
have you found resolution? I've installed recently Illustrator CS6 and today was doing updates and have similar update issue:
Adobe Illustrator CS6 Update (version 16.0.3)
Another installer is currently running, which must be closed before installing this update. Please close other installers. Error Code: U44M1P36
Kind of shame on Adobe for this:) especially when you spend 1700pounds on their software

I am trying to download an update for Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 and it Keeps telling me Errors encountered during installation. (U44M1P7). Why is this happening. It never used to do this on updates.

How to outline text in illustrator scripting

I want to create storke in text in illustrator scripting and found one method too createoutline(),But How i used this method for text outline.

var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var colorForText = new CMYKColor();
    colorForText.black = 0;
    colorForText.cyan = 0;
    colorForText.magenta = 0;
    colorForText.yellow = 0;
var colorForTextOutline = new CMYKColor();
colorForTextOutline.black = 100;
colorForTextOutline.cyan = 0;
colorForTextOutline.magenta = 0;
colorForTextOutline.yellow = 0;
var outlineSize = 5;
for (i = docRef.textFrames.length-1; i >=0; i--) {
    for (j = 0; j < docRef.textFrames[i].words.length; j++){
        docRef.textFrames[i].words[j].filled = true;
        docRef.textFrames[i].words[j].fillColor = colorForText;
var outline = docRef.textFrames[i].duplicate(docRef, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);
    for (h = 0; h < outline.words.length; h++) {
        outline.words[h].filled = true;
        outline.words[h].fillColor = colorForTextOutline;
        outline.words[h].stroked = true;
        outline.words[h].strokeColor = colorForTextOutline;
        outline.words[h].strokeWeight = outlineSize;
//docRef.textFrames[i].createOutline();
//outline.createOutline();
createOutline(); converts live text to outlines, if you are trying to just create a stroke you have to go about it a different way. This script will take the text and copy it, put it in back, and put a stroke behind on the behind text so it has an effect similar to an offset path. The way I have it leaves the text live, if you were wanting to convert the text to outlines as well I left that part written in the bottom of the script. There is also a StrokeJoin parameter as well.
Hope this helps!

Print Preview: SAP GUI showing updated text, CRM UI not showing updated text

Hello,
can anyone please help me with "Print Preview" button in CRM UI:
In the CRM UI when a certain data is changed on the document, a note on the document is updated with changes in data. When pressing the "Print Preview" button the generated PDF is not showing an updated text. If i run the SmartForm directly in SAP GUI after the data change, the generated PDF shows an updated text. If i reload the CRM UI (close the browser and run the CRM_UI transaction) the "Print Preview" shows an updated text.
What should i do, that the Print Preview in the CRM UI would also show an updated text (without reloading the CRM UI) ?
Im thinking it could be a problem with the parameters SFPDOCPARAMS and SFPOUTPUTPARAMS, that are used when calling the SmartForm FM. The parameters are set as this:
   ls_outputparams-nodialog = 'X'.
   ls_outputparams-getpdf = 'X'.
   ls_outputparams-connection = 'ADS'.
   CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
     CHANGING
       ie_outputparams = ls_outputparams
     EXCEPTIONS
       cancel          = 1
       usage_error     = 2
       system_error    = 3
       internal_error = 4
       OTHERS          = 5.
   ls_docparams-country = 'SI'.
   ls_docparams-langu = sy-langu.
   CALL FUNCTION lv_name
     EXPORTING
       /1bcdwb/docparams = ls_docparams
       I_HEADER_GUID      = ls_orderadm_h_wrk-guid
     IMPORTING
       /1bcdwb/formoutput = ls_formoutput
     EXCEPTIONS
       usage_error        = 1
       system_error       = 2
       internal_error     = 3
       OTHERS             = 4.
SAP gurus, please help

I figured the solution:
In the Code Initialization of my interface (SFP transaction) i had to initialize the buffer:
   CALL FUNCTION 'INIT_LOAD_TEXT_BUFFER'
     EXPORTING
       EXCL_ID       = ls_stxh-tdid
       EXCL_LANGUAGE = ls_stxh-tdspras
       EXCL_NAME     = ls_stxh-tdname
       EXCL_OBJECT   = ls_stxh-tdobject
     EXCEPTIONS
       NOT_FOUND     = 1
       OTHERS        = 2.
This way the text is loaded from the updated note every time a "Print Preview" button is pressed.
