Copy/Paste Illustrator/Photoshop?????

Excellent! I just had the same problem (error -37) and the prefs seem to have been the problem. I don't know why this thread didn't turn up in my search, though -- I came across it by chance.

Expect growing pains on every OS upgrade.

I am also running Tiger but have no problem copy and pasting between Illustrator and Photoshop.
I have Adobe Illustrator 10 and Photoshop CS. Which versions of AI and PS are you running?

You might try dumping the software (make sure you also trash the .plist files in the preference folders too) the re-install.

I am having the same problem, but it doesn't seem to be an issue of pasting.
Looks like it happens everytime I switch from Illustrator to any other appllication but have something rather big in the clipboard.
As soon I am out of AI, I get an error message saying:
"Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties. There was a Macintosh system error (-37)."
Once I click okay on this one, I get another right away:
"Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties. The file may be damaged."
I click okay on this one and AI quits.
Then I get that other message on Photoshop too.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Great! Trashing prefs works with AI 10 too.
It was a bit annoying replacing all the palettes to their right place again, but so far, so good.
Thanks!

Has anyone noticed that the save for web feature of ps7 does not work with tiger. does any one know how to fix it

Hello,
If I am right, there are two formats (PDF and AICB) to use as clipboard in Illustrator. Select the other one while Adobe StartUp_.ai (located in Plug-Ins folder) is open. Save the modifications then quit the app to load it again.

You can let me know if it works...

Good luck!
