Adobe CS4 folder, double-click Setup.exe, and then follow the on-screen
instructions.

does not launch automatically, navigate to the application folder found at the root
level on your disk and double-click Setup Mac OS® to start the installation
process.
oIf you downloaded the software from the web, open the folder, navigate to the
application folder, double-click Setup, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
4. If you are installing as an upgrade, the installer will check your system to find the valid
upgrade product. If it cannot find it, it will ask you to input the serial number of the
product being upgraded. You can also install the software in trial, then input your new
and previous serial numbers in the serialization screen shown during launch.
5. For additional CS4 installation help, go to www.adobe.com/go/cs4install/.
Known issues
•On Mac after installation, your system performance may seem slower. Rebooting
your system after installation will resolve this. (#BG063142)
•When installing on Vista64, an incorrect default installation location appears. The
application will be installed in the correct location: c:\program files(x86). (#BG064131)
•The “Total Size” displayed in the installer Options screen includes space required for
components required for the installation but not shown in the component list, so the
number may not equal the listed components size. (#BG059229)
•The installation may take 20 minutes to over 1 hour depending on the product and
the number of components chosen to be installed. (#BG050030)

Known issues
•Windows Only: When Illustrator has been installed as part of the creative suite, some files and
folders will not be removed during uninstall. These folders are:
\Program files\\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4\Plug-ins
\Program files\\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4\Scripting
•Windows Vista Only: When CS4 has been installed on systems with current installs of CS3,
the windows registry for CS3 can become corrupted if CS4 is uninstalled. When launching Ai
CS3 after uninstalling Ai CS4 a message will appear saying that the Windows registry is not in
the expected state and to run the installer to correct the problem. As a workaround, run Ai CS3
as an admin, which will resolve this problem.
Purchase from a trial
Enter the serial number you received when purchasing the software in the serialization screen
when launching the application. You can enter a serial number for the application itself or a serial
number for any Creative Suite that contains the application. If the product you purchased is one
of the Creative Suites, you can enter it in any of the applications contained in the Creative Suite.
Other applications installed as part of the same Creative Suite will recognize the new serial
number the next time the applications are launched.
Only applications running as a trial will recognize the new serial number. If any of the
applications have already been serialized with a different serial number, it will continue to use that
serial number until you remove the older serial number using the Help > Deactivate > Erase my
serial number. Then on the next launch of the application, it will recognize the new serial number.
8/20/2008 Adobe®Illustrator®Read Me 4 of 7
The serial number you purchased is for the use of the software in a specific language, and will
only be accepted by a product installed in that language.
Volume licensing customers cannot purchase from a trial directly, however a volume licensing
serial number can be entered in the trial product. Please contact your reseller or authorized
Adobe licensing center to place an order for a volume license. To find a reseller in your area, go
to http://partners.adobe.com/resellerfinder/na/reseller.jsp.
Electronic licensing
This product is offered subject to your acceptance of the license agreement included with the
media and to limited warranty terms. See the Adobe Software License Agreement for details. The
software may automatically attempt to activate over the Internet. No personally identifiable
information will be transmitted, except to the extent that IP addresses may be considered
personally identifiable in some jurisdictions. To learn more, visit the Adobe web site at
http://www.adobe.com/go/activation.
Note: If you want to install the product on a different computer, you must first deactivate the
software on your computer. To deactivate, choose Help > Deactivate.
Registration information
When you install your software, be sure to register to get up-to-date product information, training,
newsletters, and invitations to Adobe events and seminars.
Font installation
All font related documentation is online. Visit
http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/landing/creativesuite/creativesuite4.html to find our
OpenType User Guide, OpenType ReadMe, links to font specific readmes, listings of fonts
installed by the different CS4 products, and listings of fonts included on DVD for each of the CS4
products.
The Illustrator CS4 installer installs fonts into a default system font directory. Many of these fonts
are newer versions of fonts installed by Creative Suite 3 or Illustrator CS3. If the installer finds
older versions of these fonts in the default system font directory, it will de-install the older
versions, and save them to a new directory. The default system font directory is:
Apple Macintosh: <System Disk>/Library/Fonts
Windows: <System Disk>:\Windows\Fonts
The older fonts will be saved in the new directory:
Apple Macintosh: <System Disk>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/SavedFonts/current
Windows: <System Disk>:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\SavedFonts\current
This new directory will also contain a file named "Read Me.html" which lists the saved fonts, and
the version numbers of the new and of the old font files.
8/20/2008 Adobe®Illustrator®Read Me 5 of 7
You can re-install the older fonts by deleting the new font files from the default system font
directory and moving the old files back into that directory.
Additional Fonts
The following Pr6N fonts are not installed, but are included on the Illustrator CS4 product DVD (in
the case of retail customers), or in the packaged download file (if you downloaded Illustrator CS4
from Adobe Store). For trial customers, this additional content will not be available until after
purchase.
•Adobe® Kozuka Gothic Pr6N Bold
•Adobe® Kozuka Gothic Pr6N Extra Light
•Adobe® Kozuka Gothic Pr6N Heavy
•Adobe® Kozuka Gothic Pr6N Light
•Adobe® Kozuka Gothic Pr6N Medium
•Adobe® Kozuka Gothic Pr6N Regular
•Adobe® Kozuka Mincho® Pr6N Bold
•Adobe® Kozuka Mincho® Pr6N Extra Light
•Adobe® Kozuka Mincho® Pr6N Heavy
•Adobe® Kozuka Mincho® Pr6N Light
•Adobe® Kozuka Mincho® Pr6N Medium
•Adobe® Kozuka Mincho® Pr6N Regular
For information on installing these fonts, see http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_fontinstall_en.
Known issues
•When using one of the new Color Blindness proof setups, Overprint preview does not display in the
same way that a color blind individual would see. So while the OPP mode is accurate as far as
showing you how overprinting will work, it is not accurate for color blindness preview.
•Mac Only: PDF files created from any CS4 application, as well as .AI CS4 files, will crash on open
when opened in Adobe®Illustrator ®10. Files saved out of CS4 as Illustrator®10 (.ai or .eps) will
open without problems. There is a way to manually edit the PDF files in Acrobat so they won’t
cause problems when opened in Illustrator®10.
1. Open the AI created PDF file in Acrobat®.
2. Go to Advanced>PDF Optimizer
3. Deselect all the settings options in the left hand side of the PDF Optimizer dialog
4. Select "Discard User Data"
5. Select the checkbox against " Discard document information and metadata" option.
6. Save the file.
•Saving files as Adobe® Illustrator®CS3 and older (.ai and .eps) may result in some objects being
rasterized if the objects contain gradients with new gradient attributes such as transparent gradient
stops or elliptical gradients (aspect ratio other than zero). These objects will be rasterized
according to the Document Raster Effects Setting in CS4 under the Effects menu. In some cases
the objects will not be rasterized, and an opacity mask will be created instead. For more information
about this topic go to: http://www.adobe.com/support/illustrator/.
•Some of the new Adobe® Photoshop®CS4 mask options can change appearance when the PSD
is imported into as Adobe® Illustrator®CS4. When this happens the workaround is to use ‘Flatten
Layers to a single image’ in the import dialog.
•Mac Only: If the application is installed in a 2-byte alphanumeric path, scripts accessed from
File>Scripts> will not run.
