User manual ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CS2 12.0.1

[. . . ] IMPORTANT: INSTALLING ON A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE OS THAN THE INSTALLER If you're using a different OS language than the Illustrator CS2 12. 0. 1 updater (for example, a French OS with an English language updater), this installer will not be able to find any copy of Illustrator CS2 that is located in a folder path that contains 2-byte (typically Japanese or Chinese) or certain "high ASCII" characters, such as \, Æ, ß, Õ, Ç, Ñ or Ò. Be sure the folder(s) containing the application have standard alphanumeric characters when installing. ISSUES ADDRESSED IN THE 12. 0. 1 UPDATE Many critical workflow bugs and issues have been addressed in this update. Of note are the following: · Crash that could occur in the New Art dialog box has been fixed · Crash that could occur when a font is changed with the Glyph palette has been fixed · Crash that could occur when transforming large numbers of objects has been fixed · Copy/Paste bugs in the Graph dialog box have been fixed · A bug involving OS 10. 4 Keyboard shortcuts have been fixed · Various Double-byte bugs have been fixed Adobe® Illustrator® CS2 Read Me Adobe Systems Inc. [. . . ] Once the Installer is ready to let you proceed, the actions buttons will ungray and let you proceed with the Installation. Illustrator CS2 installs the Adobe SVG 3. 02 Viewer. If you have an older version of the Viewer on your system, just be aware that this installation will replace it with the 3. 02 Viewer. Take note that the uninstallation process on Windows, for non-English versions of Illustrator, may leave specific files behind. These can be found in the following folder [startup drive]\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS2\Presets\Save for Web Once the uninstallation has completed successfully, you can simply delete the `Adobe Illustrator CS2' folder to remove any remaining files. Export Illustrator and EPS formats are once again accessible from the Save-As dialog. The legacy versions are therefore no longer presented as Export options in the Export Dialog. However, please be aware that saving an Illustrator CS2 file to an earlier Illustrator version may result in a loss of editability when brought back into CS2. This is unavoidable if the CS2 file uses functionality that did not exist in prior versions of Illustrator. Please read the warnings that are presented in the dialog for a highlight of what may be affected. Live Trace We are very excited about the new Live Trace feature, which lets you convert Bitmap (Raster) images to Vector form. One thing to keep in mind when working with Live Trace, particularly when tracing high-resolution photographic (i. e. continuous tone) images, is that the feature can require a significant amount of memory and processing power in order to perform the conversion. Several trace settings can significantly reduce the complexity of the raster-to-vector operation resulting in better performance and lower memory usage. Among these, you may choose to experiment with increasing the amount of Blur, and the Minimum Regions filter; and/or decreasing the Number of Colors used, and the Sampling Resolution to use on the source image. Loading PPDs When attempting to choose a PPD via the "Other. . . " option in the PPD pop-up menu of the print dialog, PPDs that have double-byte characters in their file name, or any part of their file path, will produce an error alerting you that the PPD could not be loaded. To workaround this, rename the PPD file to not use such characters, and/or move the PPD to a folder path which doesn't contain such characters, then retry the PPD selection. Gaiji Creation Tool This tool is only available in the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean versions of the Adobe® Creative Suite When making a character that has holes cut out from the middle of a shape, it is important to use Illustrator's Compound Paths feature instead of having one path for the outside shape and a different path for the cut-out hole. If you don't use Compound Paths, you may observe that the hole in the middle gets filled in. The Gaiji Creation Tool does not put hinting into glyphlets. It puts in default BlueValues hints that are good for most font designs but not for all. To produce glyphlets with hinting, other tools may be available.
