document. While the content of the document is essentially unchanged, you can now select the artboard and move it, change its dimensions, or duplicate it. Converting Crop Areas to Artboards You have the option to create Artboards for aspects of a legacy Illustrator file, including the original single artboard (as it was defined in previous versions), crop areas (created with the Crop Area Tool), bounding boxes, and page tiles. Working with Text from Different Versions of Illustrator Illustrator CS4 can open a file created by any previous version of Illustrator; however, you should be cautious about opening files created by versions prior to Illustrator CS. The text composition engine was revamped for Illustrator CS, and live text from previous versions may rewrap or leading may change when a file is opened in Illustrator CS or later. Opening Illustrator CS, CS2 or CS3 files in Illustrator CS4 does not cause text reflow. If text has been converted to outlines or if the file consists only of vector shapes and placed images (with no live text), opening older files in Illustrator CS4 should present no problems whatsoever; changes in text composition do not affect purely vector content. When you open a legacy file (created by a version of Illustrator prior to CS) containing live text, an alert warns you that the file contains text created in a previous version of Illustrator, and that the text must be updated before you can edit it. Opening Legacy Files Because Illustrator CS revised the text composition engine, this alert appears on opening files created in versions of Illustrator prior to CS. It is recommended that you click OK. You are presented with three choices: Update, Cancel, and OK. Adobe recommends that you don't click the Update button in this alert; text may reflow, but you won't have the opportunity to view "before and after" to judge if the reflow has caused problems. Clicking Cancel prevents the file from opening. Clicking OK allows you to open the file, and leaves the text unchanged. You will be able to update text once the file is open, with the added advantage of being able to check the status of the text before and after the update. Once the file is open in Illustrator CS4, another alert appears when you attempt to edit legacy text. You are given three choices: Copy Text Object, Cancel, and Update. If you click Update, the text becomes live text, and is composed according to the rules in Illustrator CS4. This may result in changed line-spacing or text reflow. Although the changes may not be immediately apparent, you risk making changes that your customer does not want. Thus, it is recommended that you do not click the Update button in this alert. Choosing Cancel just stops the editing process without altering the text; nothing happens. The recommended choice is Copy Text Object. Illustrator then creates a ghosted version of the untouched text in a locked sublayer named Legacy Text Copy, along with a live, editable copy of the text updated by the current composition rules.
