Illustrator :: CS6 Artboard Size Crop (1200 X 600)
Nov 9, 2012I'm in CS6 and have an .ai file that I need to first crop to 1200 x 600. I do not know the size / dimensions of the .ai , where can I find?
Inside the artboard I select the Artboard tool and I first need to crop the image to the same size the black dashes are within the red solid line.
I would normally just go to save for web and set the new size there but I need to save this cropped file as a layered pdf. I know hwo to do that but I need to know how to find the current size of the .ai file, then crop it down.

Illustrator :: Crop Marks Counter Intuitive?
Jun 11, 2013Is it not counter intuitive to include the crop marks of an object in the transform dimensions. i.e If I create a box 200x200mm and turn on crop marks the new dimension is 238.1x238.1mm. I can understand a stroke affecting the dimensions of an object but crop marks? I'm not feeling it, I have to remove crop marks from the appearance, change size of the object then re-apply crop marks.

Oct 24, 2013I recently u[graded from a very old Illustrator version to CS6 and I noticed the crop tool is missing. It used to be really easy in the old version to drag the crop tool around the area in question and crop marks would be generated automatically. Then I could save and print just that area only. Now this tool is gone and I am having trouble with finding a way to define the area I want to save or print. When i generate crop marks and then save, all i get is a file with plenty of white around it that also shows the crop marks....

View 5 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Adding Crop Marks To A Documents With Bleeds And Save As EPS
Oct 15, 2013Working on Adobe CS6..A sign maker has asked me to submit my artwork for different signs (quite a few of them, in different-sizes) as EPS with crop/trim marks.
For instance: The size of this sign is 24"x24" with a .25" bleed. The Artboard shows the right size, and the crop marks show uo as they should. But once I let go of the Artboard, no crop marks show on my screen.
Any crop mark I try adding via the Object ("Create Trim Marks") or Effect menu for crop marks, both cases would create them around the BLEEDS, rather than the REAL ARTBOARD, which, of course, defies the purpose of a crop or trim mark...
I usually submit files for production saved as PDF w/bleeds & crop marks, but this sign maker wants them as EPS.Is there a way around it, other than create those marks manually?
Illustrator :: Double Side Business Card Crop Marks

Nov 18, 2013Illustrator CS3 had a feature that was "trim/crop to artboard" but I cannot find it now in CS6. So now when I save my work, it does not confine the save to the artboard but includes all the art on the file, messing up all the map work I have isolated with the artboard. The only thing close now is the "fit to artboard" which is exactly opposite of what I need and had in CS3.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Crop To Artboard (need Vector Output)
Nov 23, 2012Essentially, I need to crop some work to the artboard. I've read about export option but I need this design to import into Flash. My instructor will not permit anything but vector drawings. I can't export to any sort of raster format or pdf. Ideally, it needs to remain as an ai file. When I do the import from Flash, it keeps everything outside the bounds of the artboard (highlighted in red on my screenshot).
This is a group project. I didn't do this drawing, I just wanted to add the perspective lines to the floor. Now it's a bit of an untidy mess when it goes to Flash. And Illustrator is not my strong point. I did try unsuccessfully to "erase", Scissor, knife and a few other things but I really don't know how those tools work. I also tried the clipping mask approach but it didn't want to combine my rectangle "mask" with the lines on the floor.
I'm using AI CS4 and Flash CS6.
Illustrator :: Crop And Edit Many Small Images On One Artboard?
Mar 1, 2014I'm working on a collage, and I'm not sure if Illustrator, InDesign or PS would be the best application to use.
I've got 7 sheets of paper, each with a bunch of black and white line drawings, that I've scanned into seven PDFs. I need to be able to select, cut, paste, resize, rotate, and move around each of the little drawings onto one big artboard - about 150 little drawings total.
I did this once in Illustrator already, and I learned the hard way that the "transform" tool also changes image resolution - I scaled the individual drawings down just so I could fit them all on the page, and when I tried to scale them back up again to make the layout look nice, they were extremely pixilated. I'd like to avoid this time loss the second time around!
What is the best way to select all of the little drawings from the larger PDF, copy, and paste into a new master document, erase the white background, and then manipulate the layout?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: What Is The Maximum Artboard Size Of CS4
Mar 29, 2010We currently use CS3 in our Art Dept at the sign company I work for. Sometimes designing/layout for some projects can be a pain when they go beyond the max artboard size constraint in CS3. This is especially true in my dept which does all the large format digital printing. I find myself having to switch back and forth between some of my sign software, which has almost limitless area for design and layout. Not that we can't work in scales but life would be so much easier if we could do things in full scale. Now to the point, does CS4 have larger artboard size than CS3?
View 7 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Saving As SVG Changes Artboard Size
Apr 10, 2009Saving as SVG (w/out AI editability) changes artboard size ...why? ai saves the artboard dimensions as the frame, unless it decides to expand the frame to accommodate extraneous material. what is weird and disappointing is that ai does not read these frame values back in to recreate the artboard; you have to use preserve ai capability which attaches huge code. How to get it to retain the chosen artboard size?

View 5 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: Artboard Is Larger Than Requested Size
Jan 30, 2013When I create a new file in AI CS 6, the artboard is larger than requested size, which shows up as a box within the too-big artboard. For example, when I create a new file, I set the artboard size menu to 1200 pixels wide by 750 pixels high, but the artboard created is about 6,000 pixels high and wide, with a black outline of the 1200 x 750 artboard that I tried to create.The actual artboard is much larger than the white area; I just cropped most of it in my photo software to show it here. What setting in the preferences or other menus fixes this problem? I didn't have it until today, so something got set incorrectly somewhere. I usually just see the 1200 x 750 white artboard against the dark background. It also seems to be happening now when I simply open an existing file. The artboard has suddenly increased to an enormous size.

Dec 15, 2012I'm working in CS6.
As I recall, you used to be able to change the artboard size when you first hit shift + O. There was a window for it at the top of the screen. Now,..for some reason that option is not there. It only gives me the ability to change the x and y coordinates. I have to double click the artboard tool to change the size of the artboard(s). How do I get back that ability?
Illustrator :: Set Canvas / Artboard To Exact Page Size?
Aug 31, 2012I am making a website on Illustrator 1,200 px 1,200 px. When i export it to .PSD i open it as a much larger file in pixels than this and with a whole Canvas/ Artbord white area which i don't need.
Is there any way to keep the page size like the final ouput without the white canvas area in the export?
Illustrator Scripting :: Making Object The Artboard Size?
Jan 24, 2012trying to make an object the exact size of the artboard. This is something I do on a daily basis for several different reasons and it would be very useful if this can happen automatically for whatever size the artboard may be. As I understand it the only way is with a script but I have no experience with making illustrator scripts, im definately no programmer. I have set up quickkeys in the past to copy from the artboard inputs when you are on the artboard tool but these round to the nearest .01 and this is not accurate enough for what I am working with. Also if I do this with multiple pages open illustrator is very slow to respond to the artboard tool.
Below is a script that I saw on here that I believe may contain what I need but now knowing programming. Where to start on editing. All I need is the part where an object is placed on the artboard that is the exact same size as the artboard.
#target illustrator function main() { if (app.documents.length == 0) { alert('Open a document before running this script'); return; // Stop script here no doc open… } else { var docRef = app.activeDocument; with (docRef) { if (selection.length == 0)

Illustrator :: Create Designs On Artboard That Matches Screen Size
Nov 26, 2011I create the designs on an art board that matches the screen size of whatever device I'm designing for, for instance 320x480px. The problem comes when I want to read the font sizes used in the design in order to apply them in the actual mobile app. Illustrator seems to use a strict 1px = 1pt rule. That means a 12pt font in Illustrator is always 12 pixels. This is however not true on the mobile device, which uses some other ratio. This means I have to "guess" the font sizes, trial-and-error style, which is ridiculous.
I've tried downsizing the art board, to something like 240x360 px, and then the font sizes do better represent those on the mobile device, but then all the graphics does not. So that's a no go.
Is there any way I can define in Illustrator the ratio between pixels and points? It seems Illustrator only supports a default 1 pixel = 1 point setting? (In Photoshop, for instance, this is not a problem as you can set the intended physical size of the document independently from the pixel grid. Any way to do this in Illustrator? Does Illustrator simply assume pixels is a physical unit, like inches and points?
Illustrator :: CS6 No Longer Export Images Out At Their Boundary / Artboard Size?
Nov 7, 2012I recently upgraded to Illustrator CS6, and suddenly clients have been remarking that the file sizes are wrong or there's "a ton of white space around the logo." I checked it out, and sure enough, it appears that whenever I export a file, it does not crop it to the image boundary like it used to, even if I had manually adjusted the artboard to fit closely around it. After a bit of trial and error, I discovered that I have to click "Use Artboards" on the Export dialog each time. The super annoying part is that it doesn't STAY checked, AND it adds a number to the end of the file name. So I often forget to check it (not used to the extra step in workflow), and if I make a modification to the file, I can't just export over the previous version. It requires me to export it, go find it in finder, and manually delete the extra number off the file name. The extra steps are adding way too much time when I'm saving out many files. I'm about ready to go back to my previous version just from this alone.
Is there an easier way to do this? It seems like the addition of this feature would only cause extra problems...
Illustrator Scripting :: How To Resize Artboard To Exact Mm Size Via Script

var docVB = doc.visibleBounds;
var myVisibleBounds = doc.visibleBounds; //Rect, which is an array;
myVisibleBounds[0] -= 20; //left coordinate (use negative values to add artboard)
myVisibleBounds[1] += 20; //ltop coordinate
myVisibleBounds[2] += 20; //right coordinate
