If your workflow includes editing customer files and then returning the
corrected files to the customer for future use, you face an additional
concern. Although Illustrator CS5 offers options for saving back to
versions as old as Illustrator 3, it’s important to warn your customer that
edited text in such files will be converted to point text or outlines, and
as a consequence text editability will be impaired or lost. In the case of
Type on Path objects that were created in Illustrator CS5, text
composition changes may occur when saving to Illustrator CS-CS4.
When saving to Illustrator 10 and older, the type will be converted to
point type or outlines. Point text consists of small groups of several
letters, rather than a smooth, continuous flow of text. While point text
will print as intended, it is difficult to edit point text without impairing
spacing and text position. Keep a copy of the file in Illustrator CS5, in
case further edits are required before the end of the job.
Saving Illustrator CS5 files for users of older versions can present some
issues in addition to text. Live Effects, such as 3D objects, Live Trace
objects, and Live Color objects, are converted to expanded, literal
vector objects (rather than editable Live Effects) when saved for
versions of Illustrator before CS2, and thus lose much of their editability.
Warped shapes (including text), drop shadows, and glows become
raster content if saved for versions prior to Illustrator 9. When you save
Illustrator files containing such effects, an alert warns you that type may
be converted to point text and that the editability of some features may
be lost. This applies when the file is opened in an older version of
Illustrator or reopened in Illustrator CS5, because the content in the
outgoing file has been permanently altered to meet the limitations of
the older version. For this reason, you should save a duplicate copy of
the file in the CS5 format in case further edits are required.
Older Format Alert
When you save an Illustrator le containing live eects to an older format, you are warned
that such content won’t be editable in the older version of the program. Also, the content
won’t be editable if reopened in Illustrator CS5.
Note that saving an Illustrator CS5 file containing multiple artboards to
a version prior to Illustrator CS4 will retain all artwork, but will contain
only a single artboard, which takes on the dimensions of the largest
artboard in the original document. You are given the option to save
each Artboard to a separate Illustrator file. Whichever option you
choose, the original multiple Artboards are not automatically restored if
the backsaved file is reopened in Illustrator CS5. However, the location
and dimensions of artboards are retained as rectangular guides through
a “round trip.” To restore the artboards, select a guide (or multiple
guides), and then choose Object > Artboards > Convert to Artboards.
Saving Multiple Artboards to Older Formats
Note that multiple Artboards will be lost when saving les to older formats; you have the
option to save each Artboard to a separate Illustrator le.
