1. Important: Bounding Box Change as of CS2
2. Important: Installing on a different language OS than the installer
3. Issues addressed in the 12.0.1 update
(The original Adobe Illustrator CS2 Read me follows these three items)
1. IMPORTANT: BOUNDING BOX CHANGE AS OF CS2
Adobe Illustrator CS2 has made a significant change in the way files appear in other applica-
tions when saved in Illustrator. The artboard (defined in the Document Setup dialog box, or
when you create a new file) will crop off anything that extends beyond it. Legacy files (created
in previous versions of Adobe Illustrator) are affected by this new behavior when you save that
legacy file in Adobe Illustrator CS2. If you have artwork that extends beyond the edge of your
artboard, either move the artwork so that it fits on the artboard or increase the size of the
artboard in the Document Setup dialog box. This was an intentional change in the way that
Illustrator saves files, and ensures compliancy with PDFX1a standards. This behavior is present
in both Adobe Illustrator CS2 and the 12.0.1 update, and will not be changed to the "old"
behavior in future versions of Adobe Illustrator.
2. 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 Chi-
nese) 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.
3. 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
