Bug with highlighted text in Illustrator CS6

Hi! I use AI CS6 on a mac book pro Lion 10.7
I got a recurrent bug with the text tool.
When I selct a text sometimes the highlight totally hide my text and it's difficult to edit it! I tried CMD+H and CMD CTRL+H but nothing works, even hide bounding box...
As you can see... It's an issue to read and edit the text properly!
And even in wireframe view CMD+Y texts appear like blocs!
And besides this happen not on evry texts in the document.. I don't have a clue
Very annoying!
Anyone has the same problem? Solution is would be appreciated!
Thanks
Samy

Hi SaCha_bxl,
What you have done is, Switched on the "Show Hidden characters" option. U can hide it back by
Clicking on "Type" (Which will be in navigation bar) and see if u have checked in "Show Hidden Characters " if so uncheck it and your problem will be solved.
or you can also use the short cut " Alt+Ctrl+I "

Working with Multi-column text in Illustrator CS6 - highly irritating! How do I do the following ...

Hi ...
I'm finding working with multi column\row text box ("table") in Illustrator CS6 really irritating and non-intuitive. Maybe just my ignorance but I can't find simple ways to do the following:
1. Click in a different cell of the "table" to the one currently active. Cursor does not move to new cell. How do I move focus to a different cell?
2. Begin entering text in an empty table - I can't get the cursor to appear, despite clicking inside cell area, on text box border etc.
Is there any simple way to perform these basic, simple tasks?
Thanks
Richard

In my quick test I was able to enter the text by beginning at the upper left of the box and clicking. When I entered the text it appeared in the first box. Then I was able to tab through to the other boxes.

Cropping Images with Opacity Masks | Learn Illustrator CS6 | Adobe TV

In this video you will learn a versatile method for cropping images in Adobe Illustrator CS6 and CS5. Using opacity masks allows you to retain the area of the image you cropped out, modify the clipping path later, and use complex blending modes, transparencies, and knockout groups.

Firstly great tutorial.
Anyway I initially started a thread in the forums which lead me here regarding the use of opacity masks, I'm having real problems finding a solution to my specific problem.
I've got 2 issues I'm trying to solve, the first is how do I show just a portion an object above another even though it sits in a layer behind.
The second is I have an object with a linear gradient applied and I want to add yet another gradient just to a certain part of that object in order to make it fade out in a certain way.
I've spent hours pouring through the help topics but nothing seems to fit my exact problem, sorry for asking questions here but I'm really stumped and I think an opacity mask would do the trick, I'm just not sure how to execute it.
Thanks heaps.

Help with install of adobe illustrator cs6

My serial number keeps saying invalid when I try to install my new illustrator cs6 disk. It installed on my work computer with this very same serial number, but not that I am trying to install it on my home computer it says invalid. I thought I was allowed to have two installations?
Does anyone know how to fix this or does anyone have a phone number for adobe?

I do not have adobe creative cloud. I purchased cs6 through a reseller and have the disk.
Best regards!

Cropping Images with Clipping Masks | Learn Illustrator CS6 | Adobe TV

In this video you will learn a quick and easy method for cropping images in Adobe Illustrator CS6 and CS5. Using clipping masks allows you to retain the area of the image you cropped out as well as modify the clipping path later on.

Is there a way to make a clipping mask for a many-layered image without collapsing all the layers? I'd love to keep my image as is (it's quite complex), I just want to crop the entire thing.
thanks!

Can I email iBooks notes with highlighted text?

I've been reading a book in iBooks and highlighting and taking notes. When I view my notes on my device it shows the highlighted text, but when I send the notes to my Evernote account (or any email account) I am not able to see the highlights I made. Is this a copyright issue? Or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for the help.

Unless your Lotus Notes email server allows POP or IMAP access into it from an email client, then no, there is no way.

Text in Illustrator CS6 displays the red plus sign but there is no overset text. How can I remove?

I have some text blocks in Illustrator CS 6 that display the red plus sign that indicates overset text but there is no overset text. It occurs in files that were created with earlier versions of Illustator and now we are reworking them. It can't be deleted. I have cut the text in the box and pasted it into a new text box to no avail. It is not a screen artifact. I have tried copying everything in the file and pasting it into a new file and the little red plus sign comes along. It doesn't print, of course, but is driving me crazy...

I just tried, but the text is point type, not area type, so expanding the box makes the type bigger and doesn’t show extra space that might be there. Looking at the hidden characters doesn’t show any extra returns. I also have a few of these plus signs that seem to be completely disembodied, just floating in space apart from any visible text. Thanks for your suggestion, though.

Merging roads with added text in illustrator CS5

Please help,
I need a way to merge roads with text added in illustrator. I've tried compound paths but it won't allow text to be added.
I've attached an .ai file
Kind Regards
JS Baxter

Doug,
With Butt Caps, the strokes of the branch roads will always end inside the through road (if their end points are placed on top of the through road path (Smart Guides say path). And with the second stroke applied at group level it just follows the outer shape as shown in the first OP image. If you hide the Type paths, you can also add new roads and drag them into the basic path group, then create a Type path from a copy.
You can move matching Anchor Points about together.
Adjusting the corresponding Handles is more tricky, but you can:
5) Lock the Type path (group) and drag the Handle of the Road path to the desired position and unlock the Type path (group);
6) Drag over both Anchor Points then drag the Type path Handle to coincide with the Road path Handle (Smart Guides say handle when you are there).
You will probably have to repeat 6) once or maybe twice or more, but it gets easier the closer you are.
Edit: Hi Steve. No frost at night, so I have just stopped carrying our new star magnolia inside every night; now it has a temporary fence to keep the roe deer outside snapping distance.

Problems saving/exporting with Opacity Mask in Illustrator CS6

Hi, I'm very new to illustrator and self taught. I'm having issues exporting a file with opacity masks to PDF. I have a file with three layers, each with a opacity mask. When I save the file as a PDF, the opacity masks seem to disappear (or they are flattened). I've tried creating a new document and creating it again with no luck. Where am I going wrong? I just want it to look like it does in Illustrator when its exported! Heres the file: Dropbox - BB Logo.ai
Ideally I'd like to export it to a JPEG or PNG whilst maintaining the opacity masks to give the logo texture. Any suggestions?
I appreciate any help! Thanks
Its a little hard to see but heres an Illustrator screenshot:
PDF screenshot:
Thanks for looking!!

You'll need to outline the text and provide the mask image.
Apart from that: looks to me like a problem with resolution. There's a structure in your exported file, but it's smoothed.
Without knowing what exactly you did step by step it's difficult to solve this problem.

Mozilla bug with 4k+ text nodes resolved

There is nasty bug in Gecko based browsers which makes text
nodes with size greater than 4kB inaccesible. (This is not a Spry
only issue.) The problem maight be resolved by calling normalize()
method on xmlDoc right after it's created.
this.doc = xmlDoc;
this.doc.normalize() ;
this.state =
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet.LoadManager.CachedRequest.LOAD_SUCCESSFUL;
The code is located in
Spry.Data.XMLDataSet.LoadManager.CachedRequest.prototype.loadDataCallback
function.
Hope this helps someone, as well as this is added in next
version of Spry.

I filed a bug on this and we will check it out.

Extreme Frustration with Blurry Text Export in CS6

Two related problems that are extremely frustrating. I'm hoping someone who has grappled with this issue in the past, will take pity on my wretched soul and help me out.
1) So I have this Premiere Pro CS6 project with a dynamically linked After Effects composition that contains a 3D Text title.
The preview of the composition looks perfect within Premiere Pro (and obviously, After Effects). Nice and crisp.
However...
When I try to a) render the sequence preview or b) export the sequence in Premiere Pro -- I can't get the text to display crisply. It's all blurry. I've tried all of the different encoders and only one of them works. The problem is that the only export setting that works creates a monster file (and a bit rate of 500,000+Kbps -- 100 times what the original video quality was):
- Format: AVI
- Video Codec: None
- Depth: 24 Bit
All of the other export settings are the same as the original media (except that the original media is quicktime format -- .mov). I've also made sure that the composition settings are correct for the media (by having dragged the media to the new composition window). I'm also not sampling up or down. It's 1280 x 720.
2) Here's the real brain scratcher, if I don't export using this very high 24 bit depth, or if I use another encoder, I get really crappy video -- beyond just the 3D text. This blows my mind, because the original footage (is only rendered at 5,000 Kbps) yet looks pristine.
I've attached a couple of images to show what I'm talking about. Anyone have any ideas?
I understand that I can expect some degradation, but come on, this is ridiculous. I've seen 3D text at 480p look better than this. What am I missing? If I were getting paid for this assignment, I'd either be fired or have to commit ritual seppuku for my shame and dishonor.

Jeff and Steven -- first I want to say a big THANK YOU! I really appreciate your willingness to help me. Like I said, this has been really frustrating.
Okay, I've posted a screenshot of the export tab that I'd like to use (that doesn't work), below. It's just one of dozens of different configurations I tried, that didn't work.
This second image is a screenshot of the only export setting that I was able to get to work (which generated the ginormous file).
This third image is an export screen with the "Match Sequence Settings" checkbox selected. Thought that it might be revealing.
Steven, to answer your question -- yes, the original media is 1280 x 720, and that is also what I'm exporting. The only reason the screenshots look so small is because I cropped them. When I went to post an image on this forum, there was a message that says the maximum image width that can be posted is 405 pixels and that larger images would be scaled down. So I simply cropped the images to that size so as to provide a non-altered version. Maybe that message was just referring to the thumbnail size? I've posted larger images this time.
Sorry for the delay -- I'm still figuring out how to post the individual AE comp... Is there a preferred method?
Thanks!

Problem with highlighting texts in Adobe Reader X

i've a problem with the highlighting tool, it can only highlight one word at a time, it isn't possible for me to drag and highlight. i've tried updating but to no avail. in addition, i can't use the snapshoot tool either. basically any function that requires a click-and-drag motion is disabled. i'd greatly appreciate it if a kind soul may help me with this issue please!! thank you very much!

PDF files have to be specially enabled for you to save the contents. It appears the old version of these files had this capability, but the new version does not. Without Acrobat you will be unable to save the files. If these are truly government files, you can try going to the government's website and see if you can download a copy that will allow you to save the form field data.

Problem with selection tool in illustrator cs6

I'm trying to complete an illustration in inllustrator cs6. When I select the image there's no longer a bounding box that can be
manipulated (scaled, rotated etc.) like in previous versions of illustrator. I have to select an object on the path and then
select a tool from the tools palette to execute the simplest task. Please advise.
Thanx,

Did FCP5 fix bug with 3D Text crashing program

I am about to upgrade to FCP5 Studio. In FCP3 and Hd, if I tried to use 3D text two times in a row, it would crash FCP, I have a newer faster mac now and it still does it so I figure it must be the 3d program. If I create a title using 3d Text, then go and double-click on a video clip or some other type function, then I might be able to go back to 3d Text without a crash. Before I open 3d Text I always save my work in case of a crash.
Is there a setting somewhere I can change. The work around mentioned above works most of the time but its unproductive.
Thanks for any info!
Ymir

I am running FCP5 and Title3D will very occasionally crash on me. I always save before using it, but I think it has crashed twice in the last year of near daily use, nothing like it used to do.

Bug with formatting text

Hello,
i found a bug.
If you want to use this formatting option in the new pages …
… then you get this …

I can't do it immediately as I have a job running at the moment but will do it soon as I can.
There are an enormous number or bugs and deleted features in Pages 5.
You may have the previous version still in your Applications/iWork folder. Use that if you want to get your work done.
