Illustrator :: What Is Cut Vector PDF

Feb 13, 2013

Doing a layout for a client and they said they need a cut vector pdf for their printer. They are going to have my layout printed into a sign.
 
I don't know what a cut vector pdf is and I am very new to using illustrator. I just started using it two days ago for this specific project.  I found the save to pdf option but I don't know what cut vector is, do I need to do something to cut it up or something?
 
I have creative cloud cs6 and am using illustrator cs6 for this project.   I got no clue here what they are looking for.  I can save it out to pdf is that what they mean?  This is for an actual profesional printer they will be taking this to and they will make the sign from the file I give them.I have no idea about the file format for printing... I mostly do projects for the web and don't come across print print projects much.

Illustrator :: Getting Vector Halftone From Grey Vector Elements

Jul 18, 2012

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?

Illustrator :: Layered Vector AI File With Raster (Photoshop) Layers Included As Vector Layers?

Apr 20, 2013

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.

Illustrator :: Opening PSD As Vector?

Jul 24, 2012

I'm not that fluent in Photoshop. I have a PSD, see here: [URL] . I want to open this in Illustrator so I can print it on my vinyl printer. I need to be able to have this as a vector.
 
When I open it from a .eps, .pdf, whatever, I get some of the text as vectors, but everything else is some sort of image on 1 layer.
 
See this screenshot:What I did in the screen shot is take the layer that has most of the items, all together, not vectored and dragged it to the left for you to see.

Illustrator :: Turn Png Into Vector

Dec 18, 2013

I'm very new to illustrator and have been trying to turn a logo (png file) into a vector.  The logo is white lettering with a transparent background and I cannot get the logo to show up properly so that I can work with it.  When I try to open the logo in AI it shows up behind the artboard - and if I try to click on "image trace" the logo gets covered by the white box and I can't see anything.

Photoshop :: Illustrator Tutorials: Vector Art

Sep 29, 2004

I've searched all over the internet for tutorials on how to use the program and to make vector art but I havnt been able to find any good tutorials. Can someone point me in the direction of some good tutorials on how to do vector art? Or if someone wants to write a tutorial on it ...

Photoshop :: Vector Halftones-Illustrator

May 7, 2006

This is really an Illy question directed to Sir Scott, but if anyone out there has some Illy prowess, please chime in. I'm referring to Scott's example in post #6 of this thread.

I can create a dot pattern, no problem, creating swatches, patterns, or using blends, but where I'm hitting the wall is the gradient effect. Tried opacity masks, but that doesn't cut it. One other question I have is, what technique would I use if I wanted an offset dot pattern, say 45°.

Photoshop :: Resizing A Vector In Illustrator Cs?

Sep 13, 2004

I have only just got into using illustrator, after using photoshop for ages and getting bored with it, I have just made a vector image taken from a stock photo >here< at the moment it consists of 4 layers, one background white layer, a layer which has all the colour fills on, a layer with the outlines on it, and a final layer with some touch ups.

I realise now I should have made it in a much bigger size as I have been working on it at 400% and then scaled it down again on the nav and it just looks pathetic.

is there a way of resizing it as it is? or would I have to mess around with different progs and file formats?

I have had a quick browse to see if theres a thread on this subject, but cant seem to see anything of use.

The final design I send over has to vectorized.I am going after vintage look.how to lay vector beat up/distressed textures over design, merge them and delete them etc. BUT I am not after that type of vintage/distressed look.

Illustrator :: Cutting An Image Using A Vector

Nov 16, 2012

i have a vector that i want to apply an image to. So i dropped the image into illustrator, and made a clipping mask, but if i go to save it, or print it, it tries to print space where the image is, even though it's only inside the vector outline. Kind of confusing with the wording, see pics, but I just want the vector to cut out of the image, and get rid of the rest of the image.

Illustrator :: Saving A Vector For Email?

Dec 23, 2013

I've recently been working with a new client who needs all image formats to be vector. I'm having a problem after sending the final images though. On my screen they are smooth and don't have any problems when it comes to clarity, but when I email them to the client they tell me that the letters have jagged edges and aren't proportionate.
 
Is there a certain way I need to save these images when it comes to emailing them? When I save them I go to save as, then I save it as an .eps, and then when the saving options box pops up I keep it on Illustrator 11 and then save it. Should I be picking an older version of the illustrator when I save it, or should I be using the "save for web" button?

Illustrator :: Jagged Edges In Vector In CS6

Jul 2, 2013

I am new to Illustrator and I just atempted my first vector drawing.  The problem I have is that I finished all of the lines using the pen tool on all the outlines.  I saved it as an svgz file and then I selected all of the lines and converted it to a live paint object to add in color using the live paint bucket tool.  This all went well until at the end I noticed that along the outlines the color looked jagged along it.

Also I can see the outline of the pen tool when it intersects with other outlines with the pen tool. In the previous version of the Image before I converted it to a live paint object it did not do this.

Above is before I converted it to a live paint object.

Illustrator :: Vector Outline Graphic

Oct 3, 2013

I have sent an image to a printer in eps & Ai format., but he is requesting the the logo be in an outlined vector graphic, And send it to them again in pdf format.
 
I have re-opened the pdf that I sent them in Illustrator and find the logo is composed of many shapes and when I use the 'direct selection tool' to select any letter within the logo, it shows an outline with many anchor points. These anchor points can be moved or re-shaped using the 're-shape' tool.
 
Also I can select any shape within the logo & resize and it does not seem to lose any quality at all.
 
Am I mistaken in thinking that this is already an outlined vector logo or is there more to it?

Illustrator :: Turning PSD Into Accurate Vector?

Feb 1, 2014

I made a typographic poster in Photoshop CS6 Extended (because I'm more familiar with it) and am wanting it to print in the highest quality possible. The size of the poster is 24'' x 36 '' at 300 dpi. I wanted to convert it into a vector so there would be no pixels. I've done this before with posters but none of them had any text and they turned out perfect. ou So my problem is when I did the image trace (high fidelity photo) it didn't turn out well.
 
Example of it before image trace:

After image trace:

The word "LIKE" doesn't look too bad but smaller words like "INSTRUMENTS" are the ones messing up. Is there any way to fix this? This poster took me a long time to make and I would hate to have to start over.

Illustrator :: Transparent Lines Through Vector?

Nov 3, 2013

I created a vector in Adobe Illustrator and there are transparent lines running through it. There are no inconsistencies in the path and this is the only file this has happened for. They are less visible while they are on a flat vector (see image 1), but they become more visible when placed as a smart object (image 2), especially when using a 3D effect from illustrator as well (image 3).

I'm trying to convert this .jpg image into vector for a large print for decoration. The image has poor quality and when I try to use Image Trace the results are not satisfactory. Do you have any tips on what I should do and which tool to use instead? The thing is that I'm trying to skip the effort of drawing the whole image since that would take tons of time.

I tried the symbol library but never had much luck with it. I'm on a MacPro running 10.8.3.
