I have to edit a job from someone who is not contactable. It's an Illustrator file showing how a set of Twitter users connect to one another - think the London Underground map with much more detail. The elements are: a blob for each user, a text box caption for each blob, and stroked paths...
When I open an existing file it fills the screen - all the way to the right, behind the palettes. I then have to hide the palettes, pull the bottom right corner of the window back, and then restore the palettes. I can't find anything about this behaviour in Preferences. Is there a way of...
They’ve decided to make our magazine’s back issues available to subscribers online, in the Flash page-turning format. This will involve me re-purposing each issue’s set of print-quality PDFs in order to output a SWF. The problem is that the trim marks vary in position: the files we made are all...
I'm setting a book which is an A-Z of codes for occupations. Each entry consists of the job title and a two-digit code, and some also have a brief description. The code is set flush right, on the same line as the job title where there is no description or after the description if there is one...
In Acrobat 9 the preflight profile Magazine Ads has flagged up the alert in the attached screenshot. The warning "Resolution of color and gray scale images is lower than 300 pixels per inch" turns out to include the match "Color image... 300.0123 ppi". What is happening?
In CS4 this option has disappeared from Preferences. Unchecking it used to allow you to construct email newsletters without CSS. Is there no workround now?
I process ads for a magazine. We received an ad supplied as a PDF which had been constructed in FreeHand MX on a Mac and exported to PDF. Using Acrobat 9 Pro for the first time I used “Analyze and fix” (previously Acrobat 8 flagged up errors in preflighting without correcting them). The effect...
I have just upgraded to InDesign CS4 and cannot see where in the Preferences or elsewhere I can alter this behaviour. Previously when a window was resized its content stayed where it was. Now it moves relative to the window but without resizing. For example I am looking at an InDesign window...
I am placing a PDF as an image in an InDesign CS3 document. I want to match a colour in the PDF. Bridge's metadata panel tells me that the swatch I want does not have its CMYK values as part of its name (it's called "Amends"). Is there any way of finding out the CMYK values through the metadata...
I am creating a logo consisting of a shape from which several closed paths (in this case outlined text) have been knocked out. Trying to get a 3D effect I get the warning “Bevel self-intersection may have occurred.” Is there a way of working around the self-intersection, i.e. having the line of...
Did Illustrator 10 have a bevel effect? Or did it come in with CS?
I have an advertiser who has created a logo in Illustrator 10, taken it into Photoshop for an Inner Bevel, then brought it back into Illustrator to add text. The resulting Illustratorr EPS has a poor gradient on the bevel when...
I can set transparency via the control palette, but the transparency palette itself has vanished. It does not appear in Windows > Transparency, and Shift F10 does something else (it greys out everything but the active window). How do I get the transparency palette back?
