Adobe Illustrator Help: tips for how to get started?

I am new to adobe products. Does anyone have any tips for someone new who is just starting out
with adobe illustrator? I have not used it before. Any beginner tips on how to get started with adobe
illustrator would be appreciated. Thanks

start by reading the documentation and follow the samples shown, get familiar with the user interface, get to know where the tools are and what they do...and the most important thing practice, practice, practice.
other than that, there are plenty of resources online, depending on your learning style, buy a book, follow tutorials, watch videos, take a class.

Who can help me? I look for adobe Illustrator 8.0 for free

Who can help me? I look for adobe Illustrator 8.0 for free

Thanks for this answer, I had a look by ebay, may be 50 € or 70 $ for full
version Illustrator 8.0

Translation:
I just wanted some advice on where I get a free or cheap Illustrator
program. I've heard Adobe Illustrator 8.0 should now be getting even free of
charge. Thanks anyway, that anyone has reported.
>
The thing is, unless you know someone who will give you Illustrator 8 for
free, there is no normal way to do this.
>
Cheap is different, go to eBay and there are a good number of cheap AI 8
version for sale at a very good price. But beware, like the previous poster
said, make sure you have the OS and computer to run it. It requires OS 9 -
OS X 10.4 on the Mac at the least!

Morning Lupoipia,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you can't be heard by someone who is calling, take a look at this article:

Hi, is it possible to print also A2 with adobe illustrator ? Thanks for help.

hi, is it possible to print also A2 with adobe illustrator ? Thanks for help.

pandron,
One simple way would be to save as/print to PDF, then print from Acrobat/Reader.
You could also make a copy of the file, then change the Artboard size and scale up the artwork and print from that (presuming you still wish to work in A4 or something).

I have a Macbook Pro 15" that is three and a half years old. Although it has slowed a bit, it still runs well and runs every program I need. Any tips for how to keep this old computer running well and in good health?

I have a 250 gig drive and try to keep at least 100 gigs unused at all times, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory, back up with Time Machine and CrashPlan, and have OS X 10.7.3.
This was my first Mac since an old Apple II GS. After that I used PC's and got really good at reformatting, replacing drives, reinstalling, defragging, resolving software conflicts, etc. Since switching back to Macs (five in my extended family now), I haven't had to do any of those things. So, although, the cost is three times as much, the aggrevation has been ten times less.
I'm retired and living on a fixed income and would therefore like to keep this computer running as opposed to constatntly upgrading.
That said, any tips?
Thanks
It does have a crack on the left of the screen case about 3/4'' up from the bottom. I've posted that as another question.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Adding more RAM, if feasible, and a new, faster hard drive may also help pep it up a little.

Updating Adobe Community Help files fails every time after starting

Hello,
I e.g. go to «Support Center for Photoshop» from the menu within the app. Adobe Community Help starts up and tells me theres new content, do I want to download that. It seems to start the dl just fine, then reports an error «16882» (if I'm remembering it right).
Why? We have very fast very broadband internet connection and I use a 2011 27" iMac with max Gig RAM installed.
Any hints there would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks, Mister Kapoor,
that solved my problem!
All the best to you, sincerely,
Olaf Mueller

Seems Adobe Air or Cummunity help has gone cprrupt. Lets follow the below suggestions:
Step 1: Uninstall adobe air from Utilities and re-install the latest adobe AIR from "http://get.adobe.com/air/otherversions/"
Step 2: Follow "http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/842/cpsid_84215.html" and re-install the Community Help Air application.
Step 3: Restart the machine and launch adobe Community Help and try to install all the updates and check if it works fine.
Hope that Helps!.

Adobe Illustrator "Help" function

We are in the process of switching to AI for our Technical Illustration department. Our Illustrators are new to Adobe Illustrator and will need to utilize the "help" function, but when we click on Illustrator Help, we receive an error stating we need to be connected to the Internet. We ARE connected to the Internet. How do we repair this?

hmm... try going to the link manually
http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/topics.html
Also run any Adobe updates as that might correct this.

After having no internet for over 24hrs, my IPad has completely shut down. I have tried everything I can think of, including a reset but think that was a really bad move!! Any ideas for how to get my pad back? Simple words please..I am not a pro AT ALL.

My internet was down for over 24hrs after a storm. During that time, my IPad completely shut down and I can't get it going again. I studied the manual but couldn't find a similar topic. I reset it and now it is totally goofed up.
Does anyone have any ideas or should I just take it to an Apple store and pay?? Any solutions you may have, PLEASE use simple words as I am not a pro, by any means....probably why I'm in this situation.
Thank you in advance.

iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Urgent !please help!! how to get children component in encodeBegin()?

hello all
how can get children component in encodeBegin()?because when encodebegin the tree is not constituted so i can't get children component,how to solve?
please help!

You aren't providing enough information to know for sure what is going on, but a likely problem is that you're rendering a JSP page with a new component tree for the first time, so the components are getting built as the page executes.
In the EA3 release, this caused a problem, because encodeBegin() was called from the doStartTag() method of the JSP tag (i.e. before the child components have been created). However, in EA4 the call to encodeBegin() was moved to doEndTag(), so the child components should now be getting created already.
In order to debug this any further, we'll need a specific example of what you're doing, and what version of JavaServer Faces you're trying it with.
