I recently needed to reset my program prefrences for Illustrator CS6 (Version 16.0.0). In doing so, I have lost the option to embed a placed anything!
File > Place
The only options available are: LinkTemplateReplace ...Where did embed go? I could have sworn it used to be here..
While exporting the document as jpeg, through File->Export, there is an option "Embed ICC Profile" as figure shows.
How to set it if I am exporting the document through my program in which I rasterize the document and used the sAIImage->AsJPEG(raster, jpegDataFilter, params); I didn't find any option in AIRasterizeSettings or AIImageOptJPEGParams to set this flag.
I have recently started designing brochures for my company. I completed 4. I am quite new as a designer.
all 4 printed well, had no problems.this last one, the printer gave the foll:
1. The is overprint issues on the pdf files.
2. Some pages the fonts are not embedded.
3. There is spot colours in the job.
it is 24 pages
I did not change my setting at all as from my previous brochures. So I am completely lost in how to solve it and not for it to happen again.We used the same printer for all the brochures.
Even the flyers I recently did, saying the same problems. Am using the same printer.
I have a lot of existing eps-files of which the option "embed all fonts" is unchecked. Know I have to check the "embed all fonts" in the existing eps-files. I tried to modify the script below, but it seems that the embedallfonts is NOT working.
When I do it manually (without script), then it works fine. With script, it doesn't work.
#target illustrator
// PART 1
var doc = app.activeDocument;
// PART 2 -> herbewaren eps als eps
[Code] ........
Another question will be: can I get a dialog box to put in the path to the eps-files, I can do thereafter it in batch instead of each time opening and closing a file.
I'm doing about 200 Illustrator drawings that come from a PDF document. I've created an action that resizes the placed artwork and moves it to the correct location on the artboard. I tried adding the "Embed Image" command to the action with no luck. Is there a way to do this with a script or shortcut?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been tying to figure out how I could easily embed multiple linked images easily. I have some 1000 .svg images which have about 1-7 .tif images linked in to them. I now need to get those links embedded and becouse of the amount of images I'm hoping to make an action out of it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI cannot stand it when I make a new layer in Illustrator and the color hint becomes yellow. This usually happens on the third new layer into every project. I can go in and manually change it from yellow to the ten plus other colors, but I just want yellow completely out of the list. It's awful to look at, and I think every other color is easier.

I can't seem to be able to emebd a tiff file.
Illustrator CS6 (all updates)
I have a simple, clean logo with a couple of compound paths (letters like the 'e', 'A'). There are no clipping paths. Everything works great in that file if I save it, re-open and edit it, etc.
If I "Place" or drag this file into a brand new, blank file, and then "Embed" the artwork, it creates 2 clipping masks the size of the artboard. More importantly, it messes up the compound paths so that I have to select them and use the 'Unite' shape mode to get it to function properly. I can see this by trying to add a stroke to the letters.. the stroke is broken until I use the Unite button. Even undoing the compound path and redoing it doesn't work. In the attached image, you can see how a corner is broken , as well as how neither 'inside' nor 'outside' is available for the embedded version.

Is it possible to embed an image file embedded in Illustrator and save it to my desktop? I've lost the original JPEG, was relieved to find I'd embedded it in an Illustrator file, would like to extract it for use elsewhere.
View 20 Replies View RelatedI have a Graphtec cutter CE5000-60 and it was connected to my old computer via USB and my old version of illustrator CS3 had the option (in the 'file' drop down menu) to cut out a vector illustration direct. I now have a new computer and have just finished installing all I need including the driver for my cutter. When I go into the new iullustrator (trial version of creative cloud)... there is not a 'cutting' option. I can see the cutter in the printing list... but this is not how it was set up originally.. it had an option apart that was not in the printing dialogue window.

However, in this case (actually hundreds of files), none of them have CMYK as an option. So, all the files remain in Untagged RGB, when I need them to be CMYK US Web Coated SWOP.

When I create a shape and go to rotate it by selecting the object and hovering near a corner, I'm expecting my selection tool to change to the arc with arrows indicating that I can rotate the object. This isn't happening, the arc is not appearing and my selection tool is turning into an anchor point selection tool.

Why is there no composite grayscale printing option in Illustrator? I see it in Acrobat and Indesign. There are times we need to print grayscale composites to check layout and content.
Besides converting all colors to grayscale, I see no way to simply print grayscale out of Illustrator. Am I missing something?

The drop down menu in the gradient panely only presents the option to show/hide options. The help files seem to think I should get a save icon.

When I am go to "File > Print" the print screen begins to load and then completely freezes. The default printer is set to "Brother GT-541". This is a digital garment inkjet printer. If I switch the default printer to something else, the print screen will load without issue. If I then change the destination printer in the drop-down menu to "Brother GT-541" it will freeze. Once Illustrator is frozen, I need to force quit in order to get back into Illustrator.
I contacted the company we purchased the Brother GT-541 from - to see if they were aware of any issues. There were none - but they explained that they have no customers who use CS4, most all of them use CS3 or prior. They advised that I update the Brother GT-541 printer driver, which I did - and it turned out to be no luck.
I need to hide/disable the "save As" and Save option in the "illustrator application CS5" menu via scripting.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently started working with Illustrator CS6, and noticed that the Transform option panel in the top tool bar is listed as a word, which i need to click on in order to access the x/y coordinates and the object height and width values. I was wondering if there was a way to set this toolbar so that these options are locked in the tool bar so that i don't need to always click on the word to expand it out. I have included a screenshot of the tool bar as it exists. Also the align options are set up in this way as well.
I also included a screenshot of the same tools in Indesign to give an idea of what i'm looking for, where everything is expanded out.
