View 4 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Transparency From Imported FreeHand File
Aug 13, 2012I converted all my FreeHand files. Some have transparencies. Illustrator shows the transparencies, but does not recognize them in the Transparency panel. It says they have 100% opacity even though they appear transparent. I assume this is just how they got converted. Is there any fast way to make them recognize their original opacity % as set in FreeHand?

Sep 12, 2013I designed artwork for a large banner (84" x 32") so my AI artboard is that large. As you can imagine, with all the text and graphics I used, this file size is 22.8 MB. I need to email this art to the printer, but the file size is too large to email. How do i go about reducing the file size in AI so it still maintains large format print resolution? Will saving to a PDF lose the print quality?

I have plenty of Freehand files that I convert on as needed and I don't want to install CS5 just for that purpose.

May 24, 2012I made a really awesome logo in Adobe Illustrator earlier today and wanted to share it with my friends, but I didn't know how since none of them had Illustrator. Then I remembered that I once opened a PNG file in Illustrator, so I tried to save it as a PNG.
In case you haven't already guessed, my efforts were in vain. Is there anyway that I can convert an .ai to a .png?
Illustrator :: Freehand Import Of CS5 Broken After Installing CS6
Aug 19, 2012on my windows 7 machine my freehand import of Illustrator CS5 and CS4 is broken after installing cs6 creative cloud.
I can still select a freehand file to open and the dialog box appears, but after choosing OK nothing happens. No file opens and no error appears. It doesn´t depend on the freehand file because my other machine with CS3 can still open these files.
What can i do to repair illustrator? - it´s part of a master collection install.
Illustrator :: Text Along Path Conversion From Freehand
Oct 24, 2008Any workaround for text along path conversion from freehand to illustrator?The problem is text along path in freehand which is slightly moved along path.The result after conversion to illustrator is an invissible (exept a red+ where the text should be)text. Sometimes you can't even correct the problemtext so you had to place hundreds/thousends of text (streetmaps) again after conversion.
Exporting the Freehand file as illustrator 7 gives a much better result for the text part. (the art works is in this case seperated into lines and fills)The message I get opening the illustrator file in CS3 is that legacy text should be updated, clicking the update button and text is looking way better and there is less text to replace.Opening the Feehand file in CS3 doesn't give me this method.

I've tried re-installing Illustrator, but it hasn't changed anything with the issue.

View 10 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Converting DXF File Created In PAD To AI
Jul 16, 2013I'm woring on a custom textile design that needs to be printed on fabric within the CAD-generated garmet production pattern.
The garmet pattern was created in the CAD progrom PAD.
PAD exports .dxf and .txt files. The dxf file imports into AI as text and code. The .txt file is unusable. It's scale is skewed and important information is missing from the file.
I'm working in AI 5.5 on a Mac. I've imported .dxf files from other cad progrms like Optitex no problem.
PAD exports .dxf AAMA. I need to import this into AI, and the AI forums say Illustrator can read .dxf files.

Jul 25, 2012Is there a text editor window in Illustrator similar to Freehand? I want to be able to edit text without constantly having to zoom in so that I can see the text, then zoom out again to see the whole page.
In Freehand, you could select a Preference that would open a Text Editor window that was consistant in size no matter what the zoom level was. You could opt to show the text in 12pt Helvetica or in the actual font and size. This was enormously useful in organizing and shaping the size of the text.

AutoCad :: Converting DXF File To NC File?
Sep 25, 2013A client has asked me if I can give them a .nc file so they can directly input into their cnc machines.
I know that I can save an autocad drawing, or objects in a drawing, as a .DXF file. I also know that i can purchase, or obtain an open-source version of, software that will then convert the .DXF file to a .nc file. Currently, my company does not do 3-d models. I have not dealt with this before, so, I am wondering if my drawings will need to be 3-d in order for the .nc code to be correctly read.
Photoshop :: Why Do Freehand Curves Come Out As Jagged
Aug 9, 2013I've been using photoshop for about five years now, but I've just started to get into freehand drawing mainly as a way to hone my skills for my Flash animations. Everything was going fine until I hit a bit of a speedbump. When I start to draw curves by hand, the beginning is always jagged. There will be a straight line that makes a sharp turn and then goes into the ellipse that I want. I turned off smoothing. I'm using a Wacom Bamboo Graphics Tablet, Is there some brush configuration that I should be using to stop this from happening?
View 1 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Importing A PS Element Into Freehand
Oct 28, 2007I simply want to import a piece of scanned line art from Photoshop 7 into a
document in Freehand 9.
The line art, which is black lines, needs to be white inside of the boundary
of those lines against the solid color background of the Freehand doc. For
simplicity, lets say a ball, drawn with a black line, which is white inside,
sitting on a blue background. (Yes, I know I can draw a ball in Freehand,
it's just for the example.)
What I have tried:
In Photoshop, I select the white space around the ball with the Magic Wand
then chose Select > Inverse to get the ball selected. Then I go, Layer > New >
Layer via Copy, which creates a new layer with just the ball, white inside
and no white background around it. I see the gray checkerboard pattern where
the ball isn't.
But when I go to my Freehand doc and choose File > Import and bring in this
Photoshop element it appears on the solid color background as a white rectangle (the PS canvas, I guess) with the ball in it. I don't want the stupid white rectangle, just the ball.
Photoshop :: Eps Files->freehand->acrobat
Dec 28, 2004I save .eps files in photoshop 7.0., open them in freehand MX,
make a .pdf and some pictures don't appear in the .pdf

I installed the new full versions again...
any idea about the export preferences or preview formats (freehand says it doesn't accept TIFF previews..!?)

Illustrator :: Converting AI To PNG
Aug 17, 2013I'd like to purchase a website template online which denotes that I'd have to use Adobe Illustrator, Freehand, or CorelDRAW to implement it. There's just one problem - I can't use any of these programs. As a matter of fact, I would like to use the template that I found with a "drap and drop" website builder, as opposed to coding. I was thinking, "What if i could covert an entire Ai file to a folder of PNG's?" ..then I could just manually build my website using those PNG's. Is this type of conversion even possible?.
