So I have text that I would like warp in an Arc. I will be cutting this on a plotter. WHen I use the envelope distort the envelope blocks my text in outline mode. If I go to Effect>Arc the warp only occurs in preview but the outlines do not change as the plotter would see it.
I'm sure there is some way to warp text into an arc and have the outlines remain visible and warped for the plottter to cut, no?

I am an invitation designer. I use my own post script printer for printing. I get a better print quality when I convert text to outlines, but I was wondering .. is there any difference if I convert text to outlines by using Type --> Create outlines or if I do it from the Overprint and Transparency Flattener Options window in the advanced print settings?

I am having a weird problem with some files I'm getting from a third party. They are created in CS4, then saved to EPS v.10. I need the text in the file to remain live, but every time it gets saved to EPS 10, it gets outlined. URL....
I have been able to verify that ligatures is sometimes the culprit, but I think there's something in the way this one person is creating the files that's causing the problem. I've opened hundreds of EPS 10 files from other users that have live type. Yet when I take this one person's original AI file and down-save it, the text gets outlined.
It's a very simple file - no transparency or other red flags that I can see. At first I thought maybe it was just the font, but I have used the same font in tests, and down-saved to v.10, with no text outlining.
Why do blocks appears behind text when converting to outlines? This only effects some text, even though the font and character attributes are the same.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to select all of the text on all artboards and CREATE OUTLINES using Javascript? The text that Adobe provides for scripting has this option for saving to FXGs which is preserveTextPolicy or something similar, but I need the same type of solution for saving as an AI file or as a command before the save. I'm currently working in windows, but am writing this script for use on a MAC. If there isn't an internal way of doing this through Javascript? I would imagine it would be possible through Applescript since it can access the application's GUI, but I'm not sure. A javascript solution would be preferable, but any solution would work at this point.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a logo whose letters have an image in them - which I've got figured out (turning letters to outlines, creating clipping mask with image). The trouble is, once the image is inside the letters, I can't figure out how to then give the letters a thin stroke outline. Is this possible? The image I've placed is high contrast black and white, so when I create the clipping mask, large chunks of the letters disappear.

I've been trying in vain through numerous settings to find a way to open a pdf document in Photshop that preserves the text information. (ie a vector based workable text on it's own layer)
My original text tests (created in Acrobat) consist of a few sentences..yet all i've been able to get is the unworkable rasterized text on the transparent layer.
I'm certain there must be a way.. either a setting when opening/importing the file or saving the original in Acrobat.
I am trying to use the warp text tool to create an arch with my text. However, when I make my arch, the font becomes very distorted and I cannot figure out why. By distorted, I mean the font is not holding it's true shape while making the arch.

The other person uses CS6(PC) and I use CC (Mac), so i have tried saving as pdf,cs6 with pdf, cs6 without pdf and none of the methods keep the layers or grouping preserved. It's a mess and completely unusable because the other person can't sort through the layers.

When I use the 3D tools in PS CS6, the render is 'warping' the clean lines in an odd manner.Notice the curves on the C and O are getting points and straight lines in the top left corners? And the inside of the O is showing some strange distortion.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIf you have a text layer on the Video timeline in PS CS6, there is an option to use key frames with Text Warp. Unfortunately, unlike other key framed animations, the change from one warp state to another is not gradual. It simply jumps from one warp selection at one key frame to another warp selection at the next key frame. Converting it to a Smart Object removes the Warp Text animation option but retains the animation.
Is this behavior by design?
I am trying to make warp text like this picture. But when I do "warp text" it never comes out like that. I try the different "lower and upper arc), my text becomes a little rounded at the bottom (its suppose to be straight). Is there a special to create this type of warp text?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI create a logo in Illustrator. It is 2 colors, black and pantone 287. The gradient is only with the blue color. I save the file as a EPS. I place the EPS into another program, and generate a new EPS file with all the elements and type combined. My printer requires that all the fonts be converted to outline so I open the EPS again in Illustrator. The logo with the gradients has been converted to CMYK and the gradients now appear in the LINKS panel but they are not editable.
Why is this happening? How can I preserve the EPS so that I don't have to manually replace the converted gradient logo EVERY time I have to make a new EPS file?

I've got Illustrator CS6.
I've created a test video with titles, fade ins, fade outs, etc - and everything looks great in the preview, but I noticed after actually creating the video (H.264 640x480, 4:3), the title fonts get resized (they look compressed/horizontally squished).
Is there any way to freeze or preserve the exact font size(s)/aspect ratio of the title text so that it looks the same regardless of format I save out to later? I've poked around to see if there was a right mouse menu option to "lock aspect ratio" (or set "Auto Resize Title = Off") but to no avail.
If not, would a workaround be to save the text in a jpeg and fade that in/out? ...or will that get resized, as well?
I opened an old file, probably from photoshop 7 or something, where I was using 'warp text' - just a simple 6 degree arc. Now, in CS4, I attempt to change the text written, or make any changes at all to the type, and the font becomes distorted. It doesn't matter what font, and it does it from scratch as well as editing existing warped text. Did my warp feature become corrupted somehow?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using CS2 on Mac OSX 10.4. Recently I tried importing a Photoshop image into Illustrator and then matching a color in Illustrator to a color in the Photoshop document. But Illustrator changed the CMYK values of the color in the Photoshop document even though I have "Preserve CMYK colors" checked in the color setup window. Both applications and files are set to SWOP v2.
I don't have the same problem when placing either Photoshop or Illustrator files into InDesign.
I ended up recreating the project in InDesign to get consistent color, but I need to know how to make Illustrator preserve color numbers for the project that will come up for which I need Illustrator features.
I have a friend still using PS 5.5, OK, OK it's me. How would I create a SHARP outline around text or anything else. I've tried outerglow, stroke and expanding the selection. The problem is, wherever the font or shape has a sharp or 90 degree angle, the outline rounds off at that point.
