Illustrator :: How To Clear Areas Of Objects That Bleed Into Canvas
Apr 28, 2013
can see that the edges of the guy's fingers are bleeding off the artboard and into the canvas. It's my goal to animate it frame by frame, and have his hands move in from the canvas. The thing is, when I export the frames as PNG files, I am still able to see what is on the canvas. I don't want that. I want to only see what is on the artboard.
As I was researching into this, it appears that I have to create a clipping mask, but none of the pages I read really seemed to specify on how to do that. There is this page which is in 7 steps (URL....), but I can't complete it since I don't know my changed image attributes. And it appears that the image attributes are not in the Document Setup, so how do I determine how large my artboard is (besides using the rulers)?
Is there not just a regular cropping tool that automatically clears anything exceeding the edges of the artboard?

Is it possible to get objects to snap to the bleed?
I can only snap to the page but would have thought it a common requirement to snap background gradients / textures to the bleed size.
Of course a work around is to set up guides or draw my own bleed rectangle, but that rather defeats the point of offering a native bleed?

In Lightroom 5 I really like the Perspective Correction tool which always produces white Out-of-Canvas areas as a result of image deformation.As a "constain crop" very often would cut out a lot of interesting details, I love to Crop the image a bit wider.The problem are the white areas remaining that were not present in the original, undistorted image.I would love to fill them in with the Clone Tool, but it does not seem to work on those areas!
To make a complicated story simple just look at this image:My aim here is to fill in the bottom left white by simply cloning the missing part of the column.This is a super-easy job which I could do with Lightroom clone tool in seconds. Shall I report it as a BUG? (if so, how?)

I have a big drawing generated from a database with .NET containing about a 1000 parcels. Each vertex of each parcel has a label as MText. there are areas where these labels overlap partially. Is there a command to cycle through all areas where the overlapping occurs to speed up the cleaning process of the drawing?

I've designed 2 artboards (basically two halves of one image) for a competition entry. Pieces can only be submitted in jpeg or png at 5mb max and using only one file. I've designed it at actual size (approx 4000x1000 mm). I have managed to reduce it and save the whole image as a png file (with a white gap dividng the two panels) I'm now thinking this is amateurish and the required bleed setting may have been lost. So,
1. The correct way to crop artwork to each artboard and export artboards to one jpeg or png file.
2. Maintain bleed settings around each artboard.

I'm designing a simple flyer that will be printed (I have little experience in the print world) and it might need to bleed to the edges, though I'm waiting to hear back from the person I'm designing it for.
If it does bleed to the edges, do I only need to make sure that the artwork on my artboard touches the edges of my artboard? OR is there something else that needs to be done?

I have scale 9 grids on a symbol. The symbol has been correctly created with all anchor points on whole number coordinates. Setting a width and coordinates to align with whole number values (pixels) causes Illustrator either bleed the left or right pixels for apparently no reason. For example, setting the width 224 causes it to bleed on the right. Setting it to 225 causes the pixels to bleed on the left which makes **** all sense since the paths on the left shouldn't have changed. I think this is a bug in the impelementation in regards to how the origin works in Illustrator in that it is the center of the object.

I'd like to layout a book format where the bleed extends on only the top, bottom and outside pages when two artboards are placed together.

I would like to find a quick way to fit objects (mainly rectangle and ellipses) to the artboard bounds.
Sometimes though I also want to fit them to the bleed frame.
The closest thing I could find is this script which works quite well but only resizes to artboard.
[URL]....
I don't know much about how to modify it to resize to the bleed frame though.
Moreover, I would like to assign a keyboard shortcut to execute the script and thus need it to appear directly in the File>Scripts menu.
So my second question is where is the Illustrator default scripts folder so that I can place my script in it and make it appear in the menu ?

I use CS4 and when working in Illustrator ( and later taking into a book in InDesign) how do I maintain custom page size with bleed in Illustrator when saving as PDF . I have been told my files are not print ready and have no bleed even though I set a bleed and accurate (custom)page size initially. It seems I lose these when I save as a PDF for Printers to use.

I have a document which is sized for full bleed printing. I would also like to make PDF prints of this document, but if I simply print, then everything will be off by a little. Is there a non-destructive way to 'crop' the document back to the paper size?

I notice that, for example with the the text creator, you can move the text around the canvas before it "freezes up" so to speak
How can I move text, or an object, around after this happens

When printing, does the printer follows the bleed dimensions or my original dimension?
So if it follows the bleed dimension, (For example.) I want my name card to be 85mm x 45mm with 3mm bleed, my inital dimension (when being created) have to be 79mm x 39mm (due to minusing off 6mm on both sides)? Am I right to say that?

I already have a document created in CS6, now I want to make the background color bleed to the edges of the document.
Is it a problem that I started the document already and now want to make it bleed to the edges?

What is the difference between rooms and areas? Why create an area schedule off 'areas' as opposed to using 'room' areas? Can you create a schedule off room areas?

In the image below I have an aerial photo of an Island. I need to make it so as water areas are black and land areas are white (not greyscale) almost like a silhouette. My first plan was to draw round the island with a black paint brush and then use the "bucket fill" with a suitable threshold to fill all of the areas up to the black outline with black, however this doesn't work as the bucket fill either breaks through the black line or when I reduce the threshold, doesn't color the water areas solidly.

is there a way to clear all stored variables in ES? I could set them to null at end of script, but this would be really annoying. Sometimes I just need to write some quick ditry code and don't want to worry about clearing them.

How do I make the white areas inside this logo transparent? I can't seem to find a way to do it and I would like to so it can be put onto different coloured backgrounds. The semi-cirlces are all seperate shapes, the white circle outline is a white cirlce with a smaller blue circle placed on top and the text is normal text on the blue circle.

Each are can be individually selected in AI. I can change colors, strokes add images pretty much anything except what i can do in ps. In ps i can have the background as a specific layer. Then select the areas of the jersey then invert and delete the remaining portion of the background from the background layer. I CANT FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT IN AI cs6. I have to do this in AI because there are certain images and backgrounds i need to image trace to blow up to size of jersey. I make it work by importing after editing as much as possible in PS.

I have a logo file, saved as PNG, that is black on transparent. Very simple file, just stylized black lettering on a transparent background. In Illustrator CS5, I can place that file, do a "Live Trace" in "Lettering" mode, and Illustrator will correctly ignore the transparent areas when I expand the trace. After expanding, I'm left with scalable paths and an easy way to change the fill color to have the logo work with my background.
Fast forward to Illustrator CS6. I try to do the same thing but a) there is no "lettering" preset for Image Trace and b) there is no setting I have yet found to cause Illustrator to ignore the transparent areas when I expand. If I then fill, everything inside the bounds of the placed image (the square containing the logo) is filled with that color. The only way I've found to get similar results is to go through the layers panel after the Expand and deselect each piece of the image that should not be filled. I have a hard time believing this is the desired approach.

I've got a little graphic that I'm working on at the moment. I am trying to trace it using the Image Trace feature in illustrator.
Everything's hunky dory apart from the fact that the original graphic has a lot of white features on it that I want to preserve. These white bits are not bordered so, in the main page of illustrator, they merge with the white background. When I go to use Image Trace, I can either select "Ignore white" which leaves out all of this white detailing, or I can deselect it which means that the trace then includes the white background and the whole image is set into an annoying box.
how I can remedy this? I know in Photoshop, there's that checked background that shows when your work surface is empty. Is there a way of getting this same thing in Illustrator?
