Download: Illustrator 27.2

[kai kremser]

Hello, I need the older Ilustrator Version 27.2 for an older project with postscript fonts. How is it possible to download this version, as the Creative Cloud desktopp app doesn't offer this version?

I've seen it, but it doesn't help. It seems like there is no way to download the 27.2 version.

Thank you

Just to clarify, Adobe only offers the current version and one version back for Creative Cloud apps. For Illustrator that would be versions 30.x and 29.x. It also appears that the websites that were offering links to earlier versions are no longer doing so.

Thank you, Bill. Good to know.

Unfortunately the only work-around is already having an older version of Illustrator installed that supports the feature you need (such as Postscript font support).

I still have a version 28 build of Illustator installed alongside version 30 due to an issue involving Illustrator .AI files exported by other rival applications; if the files have any live text in them they won't open in version 29 or 30 builds of Illustrator. The AI files have to be opened in v28 and then re-saved in order for them to open in v30.

If the Postscript fonts being used are important it might be worth considering the purchase of font conversion software, such as TransType by FontLab Ltd.

Thank you, Bobby. The fonts are not crucial. It would have been a good way to work with old files. At least I have an Indesign version, that supports the fonts.
