AI newbie here. How do you send the client a vector logo? When I save my logo as EPS, it is still in a thousand pieces. Is it possible to "Flatten" logo like in Photoshop before sending as vector?
My logo has some transparency which I'd like to keep.
How do you send a scalable vector logo that has transparency in a way that a client can easily open and view the file?
It is strange that it is still as optional view option. Why You can't see it always on? reason not to see overprints? We have at least 3 printing reruns this year, where objects lost in pages, just because they where made white from overprinted blacks.

When I select the whole object with clipping mask, the Overprint Fill box (in the attributes panel) has a hypen. When I click into the clipping mask or go to Object > Clipping Mask > Edit Contents and I select just the vector shape, the Overprint Fill box has a check in it, and I uncheck it. Then when I exit out and reselect the whole object I get the hypen again. I can also uncheck the hypen and the box is blank, but then when I deselect and select it again I get that evil hypen again.
way to turn off overprinting for a single object in Acrobat Pro my mind will figuratively explode.
When I Place an Illustrator file inside onather illustrator file, the overprint elements failed to be overprint.
Why? Is there a bug because I use CS6, but when I tried using CS5.5 it works without any problems.
Here I created a file called single.ai, and set the text to Overprint Fill.
Here when you hide black color the orange color filled completely.
Then I created a file called Multiple, and placed then repeated it.
But as you see when I hide the black color the orange filled is etched (spoiled).
I am "vector tracing" a logo in PSP, and exporting it to Motionstudio 3D for an explosion effect. I am currently able to do this with no issue, but the explosion effect (specifically the size and shape of the particles) is based on connecting the nodes in a vector object. For example, if I have a capital L made up of 10 nodes, the subsequent explosion effect with separate the L into particles based on the 10 nodes. What I want to do is have the various nodes that comprise the traced letter connect with constituent nodes in the center/surface-area of the letter to form a "grid" (in PSP) so that the subsequent explosion (after export to Motionstudio) is comprised of more/smaller particles. Is there a way of not only having a vector object with "fill", but also having that "fill" made up of other vector data?

I made real siple file with two boxes from what one is overprinted.When i turn on overprint mode and try to move one of the box it will take time to redraw it on the new place and there is no drag view at all.
I need to use overprint mode quite often and its not an option right now with so slow redraw. Do i need to go back to use sc5?
Is there any way to export the overprint preview as jpeg/pdf ?

I've been experimenting with this code in ExtendScript, but it keeps returning false:
var doc = app.activeDocument;
$.write(doc.textFrames[0].textPath.fillOverprint + '

I have a logo that I ultimatly need rendered properly in a PDF to send for proofing. It has a overprint effect in it but I can't figure out a way to export it as a tif or jpg with a simulated overprint.
What I have tried:
Export as tif and export as jpg (from Illustrator CS5). Neither export has a simulate overprint option, and both export with a big green blob on top of everything (the green blob is the shape that is overprinting)
Save as PDF, press ready, defaults to view of green blob (not simulated overprinting)
Save as PDF, change to PDF 1.3, in advanced flattening I set overprint to preserve, and high resolution. Same result as above.
In a PDF I can turn on the overprint preview, but I can't make that a default (as far as I know). Additionally, I am sending this to a client, I don't want to have to tell him "Oh, and by the way, here are the 10 steps to simulating overprinting in PDFs!"
Also I have tried to import from PDF to Photoshop and there is no option for simulated overprint there as well.
Also, I don't care if it is just a jpg or tif placed into a PDF, I don't need to preserve vector for this portion of it. If I can, then great, if there is a solution but I can't find, It is only for presentation at this stage.
I¨m working on a RGB document; it´s not going to be printed, but I need to simulate the overprint effect and also to use some "out of gammut" RGB colors that display very different on CMYK. I have the overpirnt preview checked; also, the objects I want to overprint have the Overprint Fill checked on the Attributes window. I even tried converting to spot colors, since I got the "In RGB documents, overprinting only affects spots colors" message. Still, no overprint preview.

I've been trying to go through and turn off the overprint in my objects, but I have a photo that's cropped by a rectangle shape, and the Overprint Fill option under Attributes is greyed out. What must I do?
Whenever I enable Overprint Preview Illustrator seems to add grids on/over my document.
When I disable it, it dissapears. I find this strange because to me the opposite sounds more logical.
Will these grids be printed if I choose to print?
Rather than drop shadows knock fuzzy holes in underlying separations, is there a way to set a Drop Shadoo to always overprint?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to overprint a PMS colors using Applescript. I though if I changed the property of the selected items fill color from (fill overprint:false) to (fill overprint:true) it would work. This doesn't seem to change a thing.
This is the script I am currently using:
script ChangeOverprint
tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
local docRef
[Code]....
This is the picture of a simple document I created. The elipse has fill overprint:true. The polygon has filr overprint:false. The original value for the property fill overprint was false. I changed it in the script to true. Which the log shows it changed.
I have an action with a number of items to do prior to releasing/proofing a file to print. I can record overprint preview using insert menu item, but this toggles to on or off depedning on what the last.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI prepare graphics mostly for print, so I like to turn on the Proof Colors view and Overprint Preview views. It's a pain to turn these on for each document. Is there a way to make these the default viewing settings in Illustrator CS6?
I tried creating an action to do it, but the Insert Menu Item command in actions causes Illustrator to crash every time, and the help file seems to say that View commands are unavailable to actions. So I'm not sure if that's a bug. Oddly, Photoshop has the very useful File> Scripts> Script Event Manager that let's me turn on Proof Colors (via an action) whenever a document is opened. It works very well. However, Illustrator does not appear to have these options. I found the View> New View options in Illustrator. They let me create a view that turns on Overprint Preview, but absolutely refuse to turn on Proof Colors. So it's the same number of clicks and pointless.

I'll omit the long background --- suffice it to say I did this once and need to do it again, but can't recall the toolchain / workflow I used.
I _think_ it was Macromedia FreeHand 8, and that I used a plug-in w/in that program, but I can't recall. Any way other than rendering the drawing as a half-toned bitmap and then tracing it? Or re-drawing the image on top of such a bitmap?
I am working on a project using polygons—a pentagon, specifically—and I want all of the sides to be 2 in. The radius doesn't matter to me. I can't figure out if there is any way to do this. I am using CS5.
View 23 Replies View RelatedI am building a compass rose by using the star tool with 4 points and adding straignt lines from the end points to the corresponding end point. Ultimately, I'll replicate the whole image with some scaling, copy it 3 times, and rotate each 22.5 degrees to create the final rose.
I want give some 3D effects by shading half of each point on the star but it's actually a polygon (the star) with a straight lines splitting the points. To shade I need to have the star actually be 8 triangles that I can fill (4 of them).
Other than tracing to create one of the triangles (and then do some replacation and transforms to locate) is there another way to convert to star polygon and the straight lines into the triangles?
Using CS5.
How do I copy attributes, such as polygons and hyperlinks from an .ai document created in CC to CS6? This is a reverse compatibility question.
View 5 Replies View RelatedSo I downloaded Ai cs2 the other day. Whenever I come to drawing polygons with the pen tool I set the fill to a colour and the stroke to none(/) just so i can produce block colour shapes without an outline. However When ive come to do it on cs2 the pen tool only lets me draw thin black lines.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have Ai CS5, and I was wondering how can I use fill for a country without creating polygons.
For example I have a map in Ai and then I outline it in pen. Now how can I fill each state without having to trace each individual state in pen..because when I do this the state lines overlap and look bad. Like if I trace Washington and Oregon, the borders overlap unless I just trace the border line once in pen...but then I cannot fill the states because they are not separate polygons but a continuous line.How can I fill the states if they are not selectable polygons??
Or how can I make the states selectable polygons without having the borders overlap and look messy?
I have a logo made up of multiple (5) polygons. I see how to use one of the polygons to create a clipping mask but haven't been able to figure out whether (and how) to use all 5.
Can you use multiple polygons as a clipping mask? Or any other method to produce the same effect?
I've been using Illustrator since the late 80's but this request just now came up for the first time, twice in one day: the clients each want me to send them layered files (OK-no problem) wherein all the layers, even the raster layers, register as vector layers. Or at least all the layers, regardless of file-type (vector or raster) are contained within an unflattened Illustrator file. One of the clients specifically asked that the Type layer (No problem-all the type is on one layer) be "vector mapped", whatever that means, while all the other layers can be Photoshop layers, if necessary. So how do I hand them an open, unflattened Illustrator file containing both vector art and raster art? Can it be done in Acrobat, as a PDF? I'm working in AI and PS CS5, but I can and will upgrade if I have to.
