I just upgraded from CS3 Illustrator to CS6, and I can't seem to export to PNG with a resolution less than 72ppi. This was allowed in CS3. Is there some trick to let CS6 export to lower resolutions? Is this a bug?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to make a graphic to be placed on a web page that can be automatically styled in different ways using CSS. The problem is that when I export an SVG from illustrator, the SVG code is stripped of IDs/classes and so the CSS script won't function.
Some background: I work in a group of artists who make graphics in adobe illustrator and we need the ability to take these graphics and restyle them for different contexts. The restyling needs to be done fast.
So far I have tried naming elements on each layer, and I am choosing the Style elements selection in the CSS properties drop down menu
There is a lot if support for using the new versions of illustrator to provide the CSS code to copy and paste into a CSS document but I have not had luck finding support for getting a CSS-ready file out of illustrator
Is there a workaround or plugin that will allow illustrator to export a 'semantic' SVG graphic that can be styled using CSS?
I am just trying to export a illustration which is in Illustrator CC to a SWF file which my client has requested. This, in theory should be as simple as, File, Export, SWF and Save. However just produces a blank file, although all the info suggest it is indeed a SWF file.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy issue is pretty straightforward, I cannot export to PNG unless I trash the Illustrator preferences (located in: user/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS6 Settings/en_US/) BEFORE I start Illustrator. As soon as I close Illustrator, I must delete those preferences again the next time I start up the program or I won't be able to export a file.
- I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion, but I was having the same issues in Lion.
- I have uninstalled the whole CS6 Creative Suite and reinstalled (literally deleting every single Adobe file in the Library folder) still the same issue.
- It seems to only be PNG files that I can't export to. If I try and make it a JPG it will export (I do commonly need to export with transparency so JPGs won't work for many things I need to export).
When I try to save or export to Ps, Id or Acrobat, my nice looking logo has vector errors. the stokes of the fonts are all messed up and distorted.

Sometimes use Illustrator (CS5 on Mac OS X 10.6.7) with it's new pixel grid view for designing websites and it would be really useful to be able to create PNG icons from various graphical symbols I create. The only way I can find at the moment is to place symbols one at a time on a blank art board and export them in the standard way. I can create at action for this but will still have to select each symbol to place.
I am working on a project at school which has Illustrator CS6 Installed and my friend has CS5 on his computer, and his computer would not read a CS6 file. Is there a way to export from CS6 as a CS5 file?
View 1 Replies View RelatedQuite new to Ai's scripting stuff.
I'm having a complicate time with Ai's save to jpg options vs artboard sizes and units conversions.
Say, i have a doc (from my client), which they inherited and enhanced for 10 years may be.
It's "supposed" to be in millimeters, but artboardRect gives me those values :
-0.27880000000005
436.191388980878
646.457
-0.20900000000074
which sound like weird points or pixels.
I need to export a jpg (or gif, or png), that will be X pixels wide. For the purpose of the test i set it at 1200.
var maxLargeurPx = 1200;
First thing, getting the artboard's width :
largeurArtboard = Math.abs(thisArtboardRect[2]-thisArtboardRect[0]);
// 646.7358
Then i try to have a multiply factor to use
coefExport = /*Math.round*/ (100 * maxLargeurPx / largeurArtboard);
// 185.54717397738
and then set my ExportFile jpg to this value (i can't give it a number)
// exportOptions.horizontalScale = coefExport
That's when it's getting fun : my images are 1204 px wide with or without clipping.
Of course, i "can't" resize the doc for each export, especially expecting to have dozens of those, with different values, dimensions, etc.
I created a 40px x 40px image in Adobe Illustrator CS4. I saved as an .ai file and then tried to export as a PNG.
Adobe Illustrator automatically crops the background and tightens the export to a rect around all the objects which if fine. In this case, I am not working edge to edge so my image is not quite 40px wide.
But, unfortunately, Illustrator is not exporting the entire image. I end up with an image that is 34px wide. Indeed, the icon I draw starts on the left hand side but the right edge of my object cut off. I can't imagine Illustrator CS4 can't correctly to export to PNG.
I am working on a print ad that got 4C visuals and 1C (100 K) visuals, when I submit the high res PDF to the publication, they requested a PDF file with separate layers for these 2 visuals so that the colors will not merge with the 1C visual. Is this possible?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using AI to make graphics for a medical imaging system. Everything's dandy except the .svg files it exports always have this as the XML declaration, the first line:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
What I want is an explicit standalone pseudo-attribute, like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>
The XML spec says standalone defaults to "no" and isn't mandatory, but the parser I'm using (an Object Pascal adaptation of the Anti-Grain Graphics library, which is kinda deep and which I don't yet understand well enough to modify) crashes unless it's explicitly stated. What the value is doesn't seem to matter but it's got to be there.
For the time being I preface the parsing with a step that checks the first line, adds the standalone if it's not there, and saves the altered file. It works but it's a seriously ugly kludge. For the production version I can process the files once and leave the kludge out. Still, at least during development it would be nice to be able to tell AI to include it in the first place.
Illustrator cs5 will not export to artboard, even though the artboard is properly set and "Use artboards" is clicked in export dialogue box.
Bleed areas are set and crop marks, all of which print fine. But I want to export to jpeg just to see how the cropped output will look.

I am making DVD covers for print. The barcodes for the DVD covers have to be done in Illustrator. But the original designs are done in photoshop including the text. For years this hasn't been a problem. Right before adding the barcodes I create an EPS file from photoshop, open that file in Illustrator and all my text is automatically coverted to perfect crisp clean vectors, viola! I add the barcodes and export the PDF for the printers.
But now I can't open my EPS files in Illustrator CS5 even though I'm exporting them the same way I always have from Photoshop CS5. Illustrator says... "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error." --> Note it does not give an error number after this warning like I see it does for so many other people.
I've tried:
- Deleting the .plist file and the Settings folder & resetting my permissions
- Uninstalling and Reinstalling Illustrator
- Turning off all other applications
- Creating more disk space on my hard drive (even though I have 200gb available)
- Restarting the computer
- Disabling my Font book and still I can't open the EPS file
I thought maybe it's possible it's the font I'm using Fontesque OT so I even tried converting text to objects prior to exporting the EPS file from photoshop to illustrator and turning off my font book, but still it won't open. And if I open the PSD directly in Illustrator, text comes out a bit fuzzy in the PDF I export.
since a month, when i try to save a job in adobe illustrator cs 5, it appears "unknowned error" (italian version) and i can't save my job! i tried to save as pdf, as ai, to export as a jpg, nothing is possible!

I'm on Illustrator CS5 and I am exporting to PDF. My blacks are coming out grey although my settings for Appearance of Black are all set for rich black on both On Screen and Printing/Exporting. I have tinkered with both settings Display All Blacks As Rich Black and Display All Blacks Accurately, I've also tried messing with the color swatches with different blacks and I get nada!
Blacks still look grey on export and print grey.
My document is set to CMYK and on the Save Adobe PDF dialog, I go to Output and set my Destination to Document CMYK—U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2. I've turned this off and on and exported multiple ways—nada!
Blacks still look grey on export and print grey.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have tried unsuccessfully to export colour separations from Illustrator (CS5.1 MacOSX). I need the separations in an editable file format, but it seems like I am only able to print separations.
I have tried to print to a file with Output set to host-based separations but even that seems to be impossible. I get an error message "The save as PDF options in the Printer dialog are not supported".
The software is clever enough to do the separations, but somehow it can only print, not export them. Is there any additional software that would pose as a printer but instead of printing would create a file?
If I choose at AI, the export, to jpg option, and tick the use artboards option, the exported jpg will get a rather thick white frame.
The document has no stroke, if i export without the use artboard option there is no problem..
I have a CMYK AI file with several objects. When I export to 1920x1080 JPG, PNG or PSD...some outlined text is not showing up but it's drop shadow is. Some objects that have transparency gradients are also missing. It is the same if I export to RGB or CMYK. I have to translate the AI first to RGB and then it works but it has never done this to me before. Il CS5.1, Mac OSX 10.7.5
