Stroked text: when converted to outlines can the stroke be "consumed" by the fill shape?

I'm wanting to simplify a logotype. Currently the letterforms are filled and stroked. Is there a way to join the fill and stroke so that I have only a filled object with no stroke but with the same dimensions as the original fill + stroke combined? I had thought this might be a pathfinder operation but don't find one that does what I'm after.
Thanks for any pointers.

One way:
1. Convert letterforms to outlines. Fill and stroke are preserved.
2. Select all and choose Outline from the Pathfinder panel. This will create shapes that are the combined size of fill and stroke but will remove all color.
3. Re-fill the shapes with the original fill color of the letterforms.

    When converting word to pdf the cover page of my documet gets page number 1.On the original the number pages start from the second page.How to keep the original format?

    Michael's reponse is correct. However, as far as I knew, OFFICE 2007 came with printer metrics turned off, meaning it is not supposed to be sensitive to the printer selection. The setting is buried in the options list for compatibility. If it is turned off and a change in printer does affect the result, it would appear just one more of the many things in OFFICE 2007 that MS messed up. The latest one for me has been helping students with the messed up equation editor when you want to add equation numbers in a "standard" way. One of the MS employees even wrote a workaround macro for that problem.

    Hello. I appreciate your help. I am in FCP7 and trying to do Boris Vector Shape effect. When I try to pull the  vector shape square from the view window to the Superimpose, I get the message: insufficient content for edit. Why? I did this effect before and everything worked well.

    Make sure that you have no active I/O markers on the Timeline (use Option X keys to clear them).

  • Please can someone explain how to retrieve deleted text, I was clearing old text when one came through at the same time so was also deleted.

    Can someone please tell me how to retrieve deleted text. i was clearing old texts when a new one came through at the same time and was deleted also.  My last update was  iOS 8.1.2

    You restore from a backup that was created after the text was received but before it was deleted.
    But if you literally deleted it right after it came in, then it's not recoverable.  Have the other person resend the text.

  • Acrobat Pro 9.2 crops text when converting from Word 2003

    When converting a Word 2003 file to PDF, using either PDF Maker or directly from Pro 9, the converted file crops a few lines of text at the top of some pages. Converting the same file by just printing to PDF is a work around, but this method does not create bookmarks, so is not preferable.
    I create an updated version of a particular file monthly, using the old file as a basis.  The file will always have tracked changes in Word which are all accepted before converting the file, and the file always has a watermark, which is removed in Word and the file saved before converting to PDF.
    Now here's the weird thing, if I remove the watermark in Word, save the file and convert to PDF, the cropping occurs.  But if I leave the watermark in the saved file, convert to PDF and remove the watermark in Acrobat, no cropping occurs! This is an OK work around too but I'd rather not have to do the workaround at all.
    I've tried all the variations and settings I can think of, but I still end up working around the problem every month.
    Any ideas?

    They won't show up unless
    you have click on each text box
    Go  Format  > Shape
    click on lines
    chose desired line color for the borders.
    once the Borders a colored they will show up in the created PDFs.

  • Why is 2mm type not 2mm in height when converted to outline?

    I set my type units to millimeters and began laying out a label that contains a government warning that has to be 2mm in height.  I set it as 2mm type but when I converted it to outline, it showed up as only being 1.79mm in height.  Does anyone know why?

    Not sure where "here" is but sounds like an Ideal world.
    In my line of work the designer of any one logo is normally not known or contactable.
    I deal with sales people, who deal with sales people, who deal with the secretary of some franchise belonging to a larger company who got some third party design house to design there logo.
    it may take a week to get the point across that the 24kb PNG file is not suitable as a print file.
    Trying to explain that I require a white base below a certain object with 0.3mm trapping while this other section of text needs to be slightly finer as the printing process, when trying to get 0.75mm high text to print clearly, will fatten the text slightly.
    or that to stop a logo distorting when printing on odd shaped products the logo needs to be distorted so the final result is not.
    try explaining down the line to some designer the math behind getting art to look correct when wrapped around a frustrum.
    I wish I could just call said designer and say "Educate Yourself!"

  • Pages loses formatting and text when converting from docx or doc

    I receive .docx or .doc documents that I need to convert to a PDF. However, I frequently lose both formatting and text when I open the document in Pages. I don't understand how to fix the problem. I have tried copying/pasting the text into a new Pages document, but nothing changes.
    Also, I have heard there is a freeware program out there that some Apple users use that retains the formatting, but I don't know the name.
    Any ideas are greatly appreciated. I have to use a PC in the meantime.

    Hi Tricia,
    Like Yvan earlier, I must confess some surprise at Pages losing text content of a Word document on translation. Formatting, yet.
    The only circumstance where text loss seems at all likely is if the text was contained in a Text Frame. Even then, I would expect the frame to be converted to a Text Box, and the contents retained in the Pages document.
    Meantime, I would recommend you try OpenOffice.org or NeoOffice, either of which will open .doc and .docx files, and will save to either of those formats as well. The links will take you directly to the sites for these applications.
    Regarding the long download times: a 24 hour estimate would indicate you are on a dialup connection, or getting only dialup speeds. Most public libraries and a large number of coffee houses here in Canada offer free wireless hot spots that provide a high speed connection. If that's also true in Colorado, you might find it more efficient to take your MacBook to one of them for a shorter download time.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • When I try to alter the fill on a button symbol it crashes FW. Ideas?

    This happens after I've created a file, closed it, then reopened it, and try to alter the original button symbol. I click on the fill icon, and wham! Down goes Fireworks. I end up having to recreate the button and replacing what I've done previously.

    I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!

  • When you review quiz, can the answers be personalized?

    I have created a quiz containing 14 multiple choice quiz:
    I would like to personalize answers (i.e tell them why it is the right answer) to each question when the review the quiz, rather than show them what is right.
    I would also like the continue and review quiz button to appear only after they score a certain %
    Can these two things be done?
    Kind Regards

    In Captivate 7 and later versions there is a system variable you can use to detect when the user is in Quiz Review mode.  You can use this variable to govern Conditional Advanced Actions on quiz slides that will Show or Hide captions that give learners the information you want, only during Quiz Review.
    You can hide the Quiz Review button underneath the Retake Quiz button on the Quiz Results slide.  The Retake Quiz button disappears as soon as the user has scored a passing score.  You cannot hide the Continue button, but you can make disabled unless the user scores a passing score by setting the Quiz > Settings > Required drop down option accordingly.

  • Is there a way to see what font was used originally, after the type has been converted to outlines?

    Hi all, I would really like to know if there is any way to find out what font was used originally in an Illustrator document, after the type has been converted to outlines? The reason for this is I need to update some wording in a couple of old logos I had made and I have NO idea what font I had used...for the life of me I just cannot remember. Because this was so urgent for one of my projects I had to do a search online via "WhatTheFont" to see what font it could be (which I then didn't seem to have in my library!), and repurchase it. I am 99% sure I HAVE the font - or something VERY close - but under a different name.
    Normally I keep a much better record of fonts used but there have been times occasionally in the past when I have done something in a hurry and changed the type to outlines without keeping the original, or keeping detailed notes at least. The fact that I did NOT keep notes on a few projects I have done in the past has made me want to kick myself because now I need to revisit one of those again..grrr:)
    Can anyone offer any advice? I appreciate your help as always:)

  • When Converting DVC Pro HD to H.264 does it retain the 4 2 2 color space?

    I have some 1080i green screen footage shot on HVX200 on DVC Pro HD codec. My client is editing in Premier Pro on Windows and of course cannot view this footage. Now rather than purchase DV Film's Raylight so he can view the footage, he wants me to convert it to the H.264 1920x1080 codec so that his software will view it.
    So here is my question: When converting this footage, does the H.264 codec keep the original color space of DVC Pro HD? I want him to have an easier time of green screening his footage with the 4 2 2 color space of DVC Pro HD and simply wanted to be informed whether it would cross over in the conversion? Thanks

    H.264 isn't an editing codec. He can see it, but edit it? Well, I guess Premiere might. H.264 is highly compressed, and I doubt it will key well.
    Send him the ORIGINAL P2 files...the stuff you offloaded from the card. Premiere can work with P2, just not after they have been imported into FCP.
    Please tell me you kept the original P2 card dumps.
