Alright: this info reiterates part of what I've said... It is the anti-aliasing nature of Acrobat. But it isn't the solution. The following has some great info about white boxes from Spot colors as well http://www.nickhodge.com/mne.php?mcid=1359 ... So... after hours of researching...

Alright... I'm not 'feeling' the the response to TexasJoes original question, it's just not all there... Joe asked: Are their any solutions? It's kind of annoying not being able to see what I get. You said it Joe. Indeed, a real solution will allow us to educate ourselves, make a...

...the two circles and the connecting line hitting Ctrl+8 to make them a compound path. To answer your second question, no, two paths cannot be *joined* like that, in the sense that the closed circles do not have an open anchor point to allow a join (Ctrl+J)with the connecting line, (by their...

Hmm... yes that sounds reasonable to me, I didn't realize the architecture of the OS's clipboard hadn't been optimized for the PC, I figured they would hire folks who 'knew' PC's (or Windows arch.) to make it efficient. And, perhaps you're right even further, and the Clipboard service is just...

Great advice, and to an earlier post, www.textpad.com is an excellent text editor that supports Regular Expression Replacing, syntax highlighting, and much more. I use it for all things text, and all HTML coding (along w/ dreamweaver) Sef. It is alright to decorate construction, but never...

Jaquan, I'm not following how this may have 'nothing to do with your (their) comp.' Wouldn't you agree that software and hardware are completely dependent on each other? I have had this problem personally, while cutting broken text paths in my production work... and yes, AI was strangely slow...

You're right. My bad. How silly. Sef. It is alright to decorate construction, but never construct decoration. - Pugin, on Arch. www.elucidesign.com

Yeah... I've had this over the years too... and have found that installing "Adobe Online" when doing a new install (or a repair I would expect) seems to help, as well as all Help files as well. (obvious.) Adober Online, should NOT be connected with the basic functionality of Help in...

One thing I've found can sometimes speed up 'Cuts' in AI is fooling around w/ the settings under: Prefs > Files & Clipboard It is VERY unlikely that AI will use your scratch disk at all unless your file expands to larger than say: 500+ MB in memory, meaning, when it's open.(That would be a...

Yes. Also, double-clicking the Page Tool will snap it automatically and exactly to the lower-left of the artboard, which, if the same size as the print setup, aligns them perfectly with ease. Sef. It is alright to decorate construction, but never construct decoration. - Pugin, on Arch...

Make sure you are saving any AI8 files from the Mac. up to AI10, and ensure they scale in AI10 before proceeding, if necessary, recreate the shadows in 10 on the Mac first. If your filters in AI10 on the PC work in other files (either created on the PC or from the Mac) then it could be that the...

The page with currentWIP.jpg didn't seem to be 'up' when I clicked the link (8/28) but as for the screw design... As a furniture designer, I've drawn a few screws in profile and plan, but not in 3D (I use Rhino 3D for that). You should be able to create a very realistic design within...

The gradient mesh tool initially creates a grid of mesh points based on the settings for the tool, but you can add as many as you want. It will be difficult to create spherical looking gradient meshes, because the default grid is rectangular. The gradients are created out 'along' the control...

Just an idea.... not exactly what you're looking for perhaps... You could save the AI's uncompressed and search for linked file references within the text itself (haven't tried this myself) and change the relative paths to the files this way. TextPad (www.textpad.com) would allow you to open...

If I understand what you need.... Illustrator will not be a good choice for creating this, since you are positioning HUNDREDS of groups (i.e. boxes with text) over a large page/ probably multiple pages. InDesign's AutoFlowing text with 'threaded' text boxes will be much easier, each item...

EOG: What you'll need is the Scatter Graph to set up a One-to-One correspondence between A column Data and B column Data. In other words, coordinate pairs, not the line graph...(although I can see that you Ultimately need lines.) Double-click the graph tool for more options to set up the...

That's right... the only way to maintain complete (sometimes) editability over a PDF is to open it in Illustrator. Copy/Paste should be a last resort in most cases for transferring data between programs, as there are often conversions taking place that destroy editability or reduce quality...

Thanks for the reply... yes, very suspicious, especially that it wasn't replaced witha missing character symbol, like: [] It is alright to decorate construction, but never construct decoration. - Pugin, on Arch. www.elucidesign.com

...Make sure that the same version of Arial Unicode (arialuni.ttf) is installed and active on the machine opening the file. NOTE: Arial Unicode is a *** 23 MB *** Font ! and contains glyphs for many, many languages all in one. This may NOT be the problem related to the subsequent posts...

Most likely differing font versions, with mismapped charecter codes. Or a corrupt font file. Or a degree symbol with an 'Appearance' applied to it, or with a 'background' matching color... Is there anything IN PLACE of the ° ? It is alright to decorate construction, but never construct...
