Why does my vector illustration convert to an image in illustrator CS6

Hi, there
I am experienced something that really shocked me!
I have done an artwork and hit save, when I reopened my file, my illustration has converted to image, the amazing thing is: just very few part of my illstration has covert to image. I didn't resterize any of my illustration and I have done all my illustration in one file, the rest of my illustrations are fine but two illustration which are in the clipping mask are now images....can any pro help me here!? Much appreciated...

Hi, Mike
Thanks for ur reply,
The original file is ai format , there is no embedded item in the palette, and I've drag it from a server to my desktop when I edited that file so I was saving it on my desktop.
I have checked the original file (which is on a server ) again. It's ai format and doesn't seem to be changed the format from .pdf into .ai.( as there is no reason to do it….)
I was wondering that if it better to deselect save with .pdf compatible with every .ai file / and if with a possibility that it could damaged the .pdf half, why does adobe make this option into default? What does .pdf compatible help?
Sorry about having lots of questions……

Why does Bridge Need Illustrator to Save as PDF compatible file?

1. Why does Bridge need Illustrator files to be saved as PDF files? "PDF Compatible File" ticked in the save menu.
2. Why does saving with this info take so long, even on decent fast modern systems?
3. Why does Bridge not consistently render the Illustrator files in FULL RESOLUTIONS, seemingly shooting for half resolution much of the time, and simply stopping at that?
4. Why does "clicking" on the preview inside Bridge bring up the full resolution?
5. How do I shortcut this process so that every file is previewed in Full RESOLUTION, instantly?
What is the point of Bridge? What's its reason for existence?
First time user of Bridge.

Since someone is bound to say that this should be asked in the Bridge section... it already is. And has been referenced back over here.

Why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported?How do I stop it from changing?

why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported? How do I stop it from changing? I must have a prefernce set up wrong.

I don't know what OS you are using, or what application you are using to view the data about your exported files, but on Windows and using Windows Explorer the "Date Created" field relates only to the date that the exported file was created, i.e. if viewed immediately after export it will show the date created as being the same date. In order to view "Capture Date" in something like Explorer, you first have to ensure you have included the Metadata as Conrad outlined above, then you have to adjust the display properties of Explorer to show the "Date Taken" field. Here is an example, part of a folder I exported back on March 3rd, note the difference between that last two dates:

Need Emergency Help! - Why don't my Illustrator CS6 Glyphs work?

They just do not work; I have tried using them every way I can think of and they will not work!
I have deadlines and feel completely frantic...cannot find an answer anywhere!

I'm using Illustrator CS6 v16.0.4 on Mac OSX 10.9.1. The font is Kohinoor Devanagiri, an opentype font. When I double click on the desired glyph from the glyphs panel, it doesn't insert the actual glyph but instead inserts the conjunct consonants that combine to create that glyph. Previously, I was able to insert this using Illustrator CS5, but after having upgraded to CS6, I'm having this issue.
See attached screenshot - the highlighted glyph in the glyphs panel is not the open appearing in the document, but its the individual characters that combine to create that, that appears. The opentype panel doesn't allow me to change anything as it appears grayed out when I select the text in the document.
What could be the issue?

Why does the vector selection tool (white arrow) change layer selection to another vector mask?

I have been continually annoyed, when creating a vector mask-heavy document, with trying to select vector mask points by dragging a rectangle only to find that it instead selects a layer higher up which has a larger vector mask.
The only workaround is to manually select the points of my mask or to drag a rectangle from outside the canvas, meaning I have to zoom out or scroll to the edge - sometimes annoying if I am zoomed in quite far.
Does anyone know any resolution for this?
I know that the move tool can be set to automatically select a layer, depending on what part of the image is clicked, but why is there not an option to turn this off for vector editing?

What version of Photoshop are you using????
The White Arrow tool is the direct selection tool and it work best way you point it at a path segment line and click once. When you do all the control points in a close path segment will be marked with little squares and the two control point adjacent to where you clicked will have handles you can adjust.
You can also drag out a rectangle with the direct selection tool. When you do you may select many closed paths in a path a path may have many sub paths and each has a mode like add, subtract, intersect etc, and each has a stacking order like in a layer stack. So if you drag out a rectangle many paths control points will be marked and control point adjacent to crossing rectangle will have handles. Can be very confusing.
Here are two screen capture the first on shows the layer palette and path palette. You can see many shapes and path with sub paths and modes. I also targeted layer a vector mask. The selected the direct selection tool and in the image window I pointed at the 45 degree oval path near the top right. You cab see the four control points and two with handles. The second screen capture I only captured the image window. I used the direct selection tool and draged out a rectangle and you cab see many segments control points and many have handles. I have no problem selecting what I want to select

Why does the "Simulation Model Converter" create a 1-D array when a subsystem is converted

Hi,
I want to convert a complex Simulink Simulation with many subsystems into LabVIEW VI. One Problem I have is the one in the subject. I attached a simple example Simulink file and the result of the "Simulation Model Converter" where my problem occurs.
In this example I have two equal block diagrams, with the differnce, that the one below uses a subsystem (that only contains a gain). But why is the data inside the sub system a 1D array? Is that necessary? If I change the array by hand into a normal constant, the simulation still works. Is there a way to prevent this wrong conversion.
Thank you

Hello Talvi,
I am guessing that you do not have Simulink installed on the computer where you are doing the conversion. If you do the conversion on a computer where Simulink is installed, you will get better results. This is mentioned in the help topic: Using the Simulation Model Converter. If you are still having trouble, can you please let us know which versions of the software involved you are using?

Why does Captivate have to convert all the PPTX slides when I only want two?

Hello friendly people : ) ,
I often import Power Point slides into my Captivate projets. Even when I only want two slides from a large Power Point presentation, Captivate converts every slide, and this of course, take quite a bit of time. Is there any way around this?
Thank you.
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
How Captivate does import is, it fetches all the PPT/PPTX source content in the import process and then produces the Selection box where you can choose what all slide you want to bring in and then on proceeding it converts those slides to Cp compatible Slide structure and introduces them at the stated slide location.
What, I understand (Looking at your other thread) you do not link and re-import all slides after making any small change. So, if these modifications are being made by same individual on same machine, he can simply right click and edit the presentation from PowerPoint and save it to bring all the changes (this can be done without switching to linked in library).
Thanks,

Why does saving an Illustrator file as PDF cause the image to be reduced on the PDF document?

When I save a CS5 drawing as a PDF, the drawing is reduced in size on the resulting PDF page. This was not happening a few days ago, and I do not recall changing any settings. In fact, I have been unable to find any setting that affects this problem. Document set up and Page Set Up both show the CS5 page to 8.5x11, but the file properties in Adobe Reader show the PDF page to be 9x11.5 - which seems to cause the art to be reduced from its size on the CS5 page.
Can anyone help?

You should be able to simply select and delete them, if you can't, they might be on a locked layer, or grouped with other locked objects. You can also create trim marks in the save-as PDF process. If you have already saved your .ai file as a PDF with trim marks, you will need to re-save it as an .ai file in order to save it as an 8.5 x 11 PDF without bleed or crop marks. I should mention it's sometimes problematic to edit a PDF in Illustrator, for that reason I suggest you keep your file in .ai fomat as long as possible. Also, there are times when you do want to have bleed in your file.

Why does my vector drawing become pixelated once uploaded to the Creative Cloud?

I'm drawing in Adobe Ideas on my iPad. I assume the only way to save it is to upload it to the Creative Cloud. When I go to view it in the cloud, it looks pixelated. Even when I download it, it is still pixelated. Why is this happening?

Why does InDesign CS5 automatically convert a project that I saved on disc to existing project?

I copied a book project that I've been working on for severl months and then I saved it to another disc drive, changed the fonts and formating for an epub, and then saved it. When I went back to my other disc drive to open the book project, it opened with the formating of the epub. I then tried opening a copy of the book from a CD disc and the same thing happened. InDesign keeps reformating eveything to the epub format. What can I do? This is extreamly fustrating. I was ready to have the book published.

I copied the indb along with its 65 indd files and moved them to a secondary drive. I opend the secondary indb file and made changes to each of the indd files (font styles, page layout, etc.) and then I closed the file. Later, I went back and opened the origional indb file on the main drive and I found that it matched the epub file on the secondary drive. In fact, when I opened a backup CD with the origional indb, it too converted to the epub settings. That's what surprised me the most. To eliminate the problem, I erassed both indb packages. I then copied the backup CD to the main drive and everything is back to normal.The issue for me now is future applications. Will I run into this problem when I'm publishing several books (indb) at the same time on one drive? I need to be comfortable with a solution that solves this problem for future applications and the packaging might work. I still need to convert the print version of the book to epub so I'll try the packaging solution this weekend, when I have more time.
Thanks for all your help and I'm sorry about the language issues (book vis isdb). I'm not new to Adobe but I am new to InDesign.

PS: I have not been packaging the files. I've been printing them directly to ps and from there to a pdf file and it preflights just fine in Acrobat.

Why does my iphone often convert text messages to photo messages?

When I send messages to an ordinary cell phone, they sometimes go through as photo messages even though I have not touched the camera icon next to the text window. When I intentionally send a photo message, my phone asks me if I want to take a new photo or use one from my camera roll. This question isn't asked when I type a normal text message, but it often is received as a photo message even though there is no photo.

It more than likely has to do with the carrier that the person you are texting.
I have friends that I text who receive mine as MMS instead of SMS.
Nothing that you can do as your sending it normally.
The person your texting will need to ask their carrier.

Why does moving the mouse over an IMAQ image display slow the GUI down so much?

I have a large application with several vi's running simultaneously under labview 8.6.1. When I mouse over an image display control in one of the vi's, everything slows down a shocking amount in all the other vi's. The windows task manager does not show a large increase in CPU use. My pc is has a quad cpu with 4GB of RAM, and the CPU and memory loads do not appear to be terribly taxing to the system. However, many of my vi's apparently come almost to a standstill if I just move the mouse in a circle around my image control.
This looks like it is largely a GUI display issue. If I make a new vi and put a while loop in it that only displays the iteration loop number to an indicator, I can see the iterating occurring, then stopping totally when I mouse inside the image display control. When I stop moving the mouse inside the control, or when I move it outside the control, the interation loop number jumps up, as if it had been incrementing behind the scenes the whole time. So only display of the interating was halted.
This problem occurs even if the vi with the image control is not executing. If the vi with the image control is open but not running, and I mouse over the image on it, the other guis all come to a screeching halt.
Does mousing in the image display control really utterly crush all other guis in all other labview windows? Is this an issue inherent to the image display control? If so, is there anything I can do about this?
Also, this issue is not entirely limited to display. I started looking at it in greater detail because this issue also exposed what I think is a race condition in my code. I have a vi that acquires an image from a ccd and puts it into an IMAQ image.ctl. This image then gets passed up to a vi up the call chain, and is put on a queue and sent over to be de-queued by a vi that has the image display control. Here's the kicker: when I mouse over the image display control, the image successfully gets acquired inside the subvi, and if I probe the wire leading to the output IMAQ image display.ctl, I see the image. If I simultaneously probe the wire coming out of the subvi one level up the call chain, the image gets lost about half the time. This only happens if I am mousing in the image display control IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND SEPARATE VI. If I bump up the priority of the ccd image acquisition vi to 'highest priority', the problem only happens about 1% of the time, and I really have to mouse around to make it happen. Still, it's disturbing that mousing in the GUI in one window results in a failure of a separate subvi to simply pass an image up the call chain. I understand that IMAQ images are referenced rather than passed by value, but I don't see why there should be a failure to pass the image up the call chain. I've looked for a race condition, but can't find one.

I have finally been able to replicate the behavior that you are seeing on another computer once the image was large enough. Here are a few notes about this behavior:
First. The UI only slows down when the images are large, 16 bit images. The reason why this is unique to 16 bit images is that they can only be displayed on the front panel as 8 bit images. The workaround that Weiyuan suggested to change the 16 bit display mapping hints towards the root of the problem...that any time a mouse runs over the indicator, Windows asks the entire image to re-draw (having a separate indicator overlapping the image will create the same behavior). With a 16 bit image, not only does the image have to re-draw on the screen but the 16 bit pixels need to be mapped to 8 bits. When setting the 16 bit display mapping to Full Dynamic, this requires mor computation/pixel than 90% dynamic or one of the other mapping schemes.
This is expected behavior if your program is running and you're trying to display a large 16 bit image. To fix this behavior there are a couple options:
Change the 16 bit display mapping to something other than full dynamic. You can choose which 8 bits to display or if you want to map the bits.
Resize the image just for viewing purposes on your front panel (since you aren't going to view every single pixel of you image on the screen). You can use the IMAQ Resample.vi to do this. This will allow you to take your 1500x1500 pixel image and only display a 500x500 pixel version.
If you are interested in viewing small details of the large image, consider just displaying a smaller region of interest at a time.
Let me know if any of these solutions work for you. Good luck on your application.

Why does the knife tool leave gaps in the shape? (CS6)

When I use the knife tool on an shapeit leaves a gap where I slice. First I thought it was just an illusion in the program but it stays even after I've exported the image (both by "save as" in illustrator and "export" in inDesign). I've been careful not to move the shapeafter I used the tool so I don't think that should be a reason.
I've tried on different types of shapes like normal circles and more complex shapes. I've also attempted to start a new file from scratch but with the same result What could the reason be? Is there a setting I should be aware of?
This is what I see in Illustrator:
And this is what the image looks like when saved as pdf (in illustrator):
It also looks the same if I place it in inDesign and then export to pdf.
EDIT: I don't know if it is important but the size of the shape is about an A4 or there about.
Best regards,
SirSkorpan

Thank you for your reply, I still have a slight problem though,
Turning off anti-aliasing in illustrator did take away the gap when viewing the artwork in illustrator, but as soon as I export it through inDesign or use "save as" to make a pdf the gap is back. Is there an option to turn off anti-aliasing when exporting a document?
This is what I see when zooming in max (6400%) in acrobat reader:
When u say it's a screen issue do u mean that the gap won't show when printed? The problem is that I'm doing artwork that will be shown digital as well. Is there a way to get rid of this?
Thanks again for taking your time.
Best regards,

Why does the select tool stop working and images save with areas missing?

I have been working on an image using simple tools (only select, crop and scale) and no more than 4 layers.
The quick selection tool, magic wand tool and polygonal lasso tools are not selecting simple areas. They leave square sections unselected, and eventually I can't select anything on my canvas. The paint tool also does not work. I decided to save the image I had made even though it was unfinished, and upon reopening the file (a PSD) there were square transparent areas that were not there when I saved it (see image)
This is what I've tried:
I work on the layer selected
I have reset all the tool settings back to the default ones
I have reset the program preferences back to default settings
The Photoshop CC software is up to date
I have turned the program and my computer on and off again
Can someone please help?

Is the damage actual or only display (are the layers complete according to their previews in the Layers Panel)?
Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
What have you done for trouble-shooting so far? (Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved mis usually a good starting point):
