Art deforming when scaling

Has anyone noticed their artwork becomming deformed after scaling or moving it?
I attached a screenshot of a piece of clipart that I scaled down twice with the original showing on top. You can see in the art in the middle position that it's been changed while the original size and smallest size seem to be fine. They are all the same, copy, pasted and rezied.
It's happening very often, and once it does I end up having to re-import or redraw the art.
Please let me know if anoyone else is having these problems and how to correct it.
TIA
PS: Anyone having the login and register issues again? I am, and it's driving me nutz!

When scaling in page setup, 1st page prints correctly, but subsequent pages do not scale correctly/too large for the paper, parts of the text missing

When trying to print in Firefox, and when scaling the page size in page setup, the first page prints correctly, but subsequent pages do not scale correctly and are too large for the paper, with parts of the text are being cut off at the top and right. This is not fixed by checking or un-checking the "ignore scaling/shrink to fit page width" in the print window, or by changing the scaling%.
I am running Firefox 15.0.1, on Mac OS 10.5.8.
The same problem happens in the print preview and if I save the print as a .pdf
I have tried all the fixes in the how to's and others in various forums with no improvement.
This happens every time I try to print a document scaled up or down only in Firefox.

The 2nd page print scaling error has been an issue with Firefox on the Mac since 2011. People at Mozilla have not considered this a major problem. Try printing anything at less than 100% and you'll quickly see how every page after the first page being scaled wrong gets old real fast. The lack of a solution to this issue forced me long ago into using Safari as my primary browser. Good luck waiting until version 21 for a solution. Current release is 18.0.2.

Improving Precision when scaling to exact pixel size

Hi All,
I'm very new to javascript and illustrator scripting, so I'm pretty sure my problem might be easily fixed
I'm trying to write a script for creating PNGs with a specified pixel size. I have created the following functions, which first works out the scaling % to use based on the artboard size (borrowed the idea from this post -thanks MuppetMark), and then export the image to PNG.
It works, but, I am finding that when scaling to larger sizes, the resultant output is often a few pixels different from the value I have specified. I'm sure this is due to precision/rounding issues in javascript, but have no idea how to fix.
I'd be really grateful of any suggestions
Many thanks
Tim
function getScaleFactor(artboard, width, height)
var scaleFactor;
if (width > 0)
        var scaleFactor = ( width / ( artboard.artboardRect[2] - artboard.artboardRect[0] ) ) * 100;
else if (height > 0)
        scaleFactor = ( height / ( artboard.artboardRect[1] - artboard.artboardRect[3] ) ) * 100;

What you type in that box is just the ratio not the actual pixel number. And the box does not like to many digits in there. A ratio of 4 x 5 would work perfectly fine in your case, but more complicated ratios like 21 x 50 don't work.
To get 500 x 400 px you must then export your image with settings that restrict your image, eg, to fit into a 500 x 500 px box.
The idea behind this two-step approach is that you might think of 500 x 400 px output right now, but by doing the actual pixel generation at a later point, you can always easily export later at 1000 x 800 px if you need a higher resolution version with the same aspect ratio.

Strange behaviour when scaling GREP styled text.

In the quest for the perfect scaling script I am running into another problem. I tried to scale my GREP styled text, and it came out like this:
Notice the "$" and "cents" are too small - whereas it should look like this:
Sorry I used a slightly larger image and different value, but I don't that is an issue with respect to this problem.
So on the desktop, I decide to check preference>general tab> when scaling> "apply to content" was checked.
I changed it to "adjust scaling percentage" and my $249.99 came out perfectly proportional to the original set text, (let pretend there is a 2 in front of the $49.99)
So I upload the template to the server and proceed to scale it and I get this:
In this example, the decimal has not scaled and thus allowing the "cents" to jam into the dolllar value. I am also unable to reproduce this error on the desktop.
Can anyone explain what is happening or how to compensate for these errors? Thanks for your help! My script is below:

Drawing Straight Line angled path with no wavy distortion when scaled

Hi,
I'm a beginner using AI CS5.5, and trying to add straight lines to a drawing, using the line tool. They are angled about 30 degrees from horizontal, parallel to each other. Used 2pt and color for lines. Everything looks great in AI. When I export the drawing to PNG for insertion as an illustration into InDesign and scale down (45%) the drawing to fit the InDesign page, the once perfectly smooth and straight lines are wavy, almost zigzaggy, slightly distorted. Not a good result.
Is there a better way to draw straight lines that are on an angle in the drawing so that they are perfectly smooth, and when scaled retain their smooth straight look?
Any help appreciated.
Regards,

Hi,
Thank you for this suggestion. I just tried this, placing the AI file directly into InDesign, but unfortunately, this looked even worse. The straight lines were even more jagged.
In Illustrator, these same lines are perfectly straight and smooth. Not sure why it's so challenging to get them to stay straight and smooth after placing the drawing?
Any suggestions?
Regards,

Vectors fuzzy when scaled down?

Hello.
I'm hoping someone can confirm this for me.
I made a logo in vector form. I have given it to my client who has then sent it off to the printer.
The printer is telling my client that it becomes "fuzzy" when scaled down.
The fonts have all been converted to outlines.
I'm no expert in print design, but is this even possible? Shouldn't the printer be able to scale down a vector with no issues at all? Is there something I am missing here?
Thanks!

It depends on a few things. Have you set the color as Rich Black? Does it over-print? Are there any strokes applied to the text? What is the document's raster resolution set to? Has the person viewing the file known to kick back a few the night before? Kidding aside, outlined text will appear fuzzy reduced down in size. This is a preview artifact and has nothing to do with how the file will appear in output...if it has been setup properly. Everyone has to step back and remember they are looking at a monitor, not the actual hard copy proof. A good print vendor will know the difference and not even bother you unless the fuzziness shows up on a hard copy, prepress proof. That's the time to discuss the problem.

Adjust stroke weight when scaling problem

Hello,
I am having trouble with the stroke on an object changing when I scale that object. I have already read to uncheck "Adjust Stroke Weight when Scaling" but my problem is that option is grayed out in my "Transform" panel. When I go into edit>menus, there is an "eye" graphic next to it so it should be showing. I am trying to figure out how to make that show up so that I can then uncheck it, resize a photo and keep the same stroke weight at all times.
Thanks
Pat

Peter,
Thank you for your response, that was what I needed to fix the problem!

Pixelated images on some Android browsers when scaling is started with 1%

Hi,
I am VERY new to Edge. I have an animation with SVG graphics. When their size is scaled from initially 1% to 100% the images appear very pixelated in some Android (Android version >= 4.2, I think) browsers.
Why is that? What can I do?
Thanks,
Ropo

Hi,
We have addressed the SVG Pixilation issue which is observed on browsers when any SVG content is animated with "scale up" transform within Animate in the latest Edge Animate CC 2014 build available now on Creative Cloud.
To solve the problem we are scaling up the container div by a factor of 10(which is by default) and then using image filtering to reduce the resolution based on the inverse scale. However, the Property Panel will show this inverse transform scale since that is the transform scale applied to the SVG element.
Do try out this feature and let us know your feedback on the same.
Thanks and Regards,

Pixelated images when scaled down issue.

I have scaled down some JPG's in flash and they look fine but
when I publish to a SWF they look pixelated. I've read other
threads and done what is suggested i.e. Smoothing on or off, JPG's
instead of PNG's and quality at 100% with no success. I know that
Flash isn't a resolution based application and bitmaps are but the
images look fine in the Flash IDE.
Can anybody help me further with this. Thanks in advance for
any help.
Simon.

Hi andy 3r x1...I'm not sure I understand what you mean,
sorry. I have JPG's inside flash and they look fine but when I
publish and view them through the player they don't. The JPG's are
scaled in the flash movie but are seen 1:1 later on in the movie.
The scaled versions are pixelated.
Anyhow, I've found what the problem is. I'm publishing for
Flash player 7. If I publish for 8 and above the JPG's look fine.
Haven't got a clue why this is other then the players are better?!?

Documents shift down and to the right when scaled and sent to CUPS server

This problem has been driving me up a wall, and I hope that you all might have some insight.
We have a CUPS server setup within our department. This server runs Ubuntu 6.06 and CUPS 1.2.7 with native postscript to a variety of HP printers including Color 4700, 2430, 4250, etc.
When printing from OS X (10.4.X) Preview to the CUPS server, and the print is a PDF that is larger than letter size, the print is scaled down to the letter paper in the printer, but prins down and to the right. This happens on a variety of printers, and can also happen in Excel if the sheet are larger than Letter. We've tried every combination of paper size, scaling and borders that we could think of. I haven't been able to try this with OS X 10.3.X yet.
Scaling and printing works fine if run through the built-in OS X CUPS server. Printing also works fine if Adobe Reader is used with the external CUPS server.

ScrollPane not validating correctly when scaling a JPanel

I am drawing on a JPanel which I would like to be able to zoom on, im using the 2D graphics for zooming. When I scale the scaling seems to work correctly, but when the JPanel gets bigger then the size it had when I added it to the ScrollPane, the graphics starts to "leave" the viewing area. I would like to know what I can do about this. I am currently using the revalidate method before my paint, and I can se that ssize of the JPanel is changing, but not totally to what i set the PreferedSize to, why not is beyond my understanding.
Im making the JPanel, which is a class extending JPanel , then the ScrollPane, adding the scrollPane to my frame and im not using layoutmanagers AFAIK anyway.
Code to edit the JPanel and create scrollPane in the frame class
        //Editing the scrollable JPanel
        workSpace.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(800, 800));
        workSpace.setOriginalHeight(800);
        workSpace.setOriginalWidth(800);
        workSpace.setLayout(null);
        //Creating and adding the scrollPane
        scrollPane = new JScrollPane(workSpace);
        scrollPane.setBounds(new Rectangle(285, 155, 685, 455));
        contentPane.add(scrollPane, null);
The paint method
    public void paintComponent(Graphics _g) {
        super.paintComponent(_g);
        //do rendering as offscreen, to avoid "flicker".
        Image offscreen = createImage(this.getWidth(), this.getHeight()); //make an image
        Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) offscreen.getGraphics(); //get the graphics object from the image
        g2d.scale(scale, scale);
        //clear contents
        g2d.setPaint(DS_Data.getBGColor());
        g2d.fillRect(0, 0, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight());
        String[] dxfList = EntityListHandler.getListNames(); //get a list of names
        if (dxfList.length > 0) {
            //System.out.println("<WorkSpace.paint> Drawing - restraints x: " + this.getWidth() + " y: " + this.getHeight());
            Block drawBlock; //block object
            for (int i = 0; i < dxfList.length; i++) {
                drawBlock = EntityListHandler.getTopLevelBlock(dxfList);
if (drawBlock != null) {
drawBlock.doDraw(g2d, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight(), 0,
0, 0, -3, false); //brug ALTID -3 til at kalde doDraw p� blokke, det fort�ller det er f�rste block
g2d.drawLine(this.getWidth(), 0, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight());
g2d.drawLine(0, this.getHeight(), this.getWidth(), this.getHeight());
g2d.dispose(); //dispose of the graphics2d context when were done with it.
_g.drawImage(offscreen, 0, 0, this);
} else {
System.out.println("<WorkSpace.paint> Listen er ikke klar .");
g2d.drawString("No content loaded.", 200, 200);
The zoom method controlled by the mouse wheel
    //Zoom method reacting on a mousewheel event
    public void this_mouseWheelMoved(MouseWheelEvent e) {
        if (e.getWheelRotation() == 1) {
            scale -= ZOOM_FACTOR;
        } else if (e.getWheelRotation() == -1) {
            scale += ZOOM_FACTOR;
        height = (int) (orig_height * scale);
        width = (int) (orig_width * scale);
        setPreferredSize(new Dimension(width, height));
        revalidate();
        repaint();
Some set methods just to show that I have them.
    public void setOriginalHeight(int _orig_height) {
        orig_height = _orig_height;
    public void setOriginalWidth(int _orig_width) {
        orig_width = _orig_width;

Strange issue when scaling text

Hi,
I'm using inDesign CS6 and there's a strange issue when rescaling a text with overflow to 200%:
As you can see, the fourth paragraph doesn't change its font size, even if it has exactly the same configuration. This happens apparently randomly to some paragraphs, or even lines of a paragraph in some cases.
The weirdest thing is that I have tried the same action with the same .indd file in other computers (another Mac and a Windows one, both CS6) and it scales properly all paragraphs. So I checked all the preferences from one computer to the other, and even if they are the same, the scaling issue still happens.
Any hints?

AS2 ComboBox Hangs Dir when Scaled +200%

Hi All,
I have used the AS2 ComboBox component in a AS2 nav screen SWF for Flash Player set in the range of 7 (and tested up to 9).
The combobox does not have scrolled selections at this time. I am scaling the whole nav screen from a 668x500 up to over double it's size. It starts showing up as an issue at about 200% of size and get worse as it gets larger all the way to full screen.
The SWF has the pre-made behaviors - 'Flash Cursor' and 'Set Click Modes'.
Observationally, I see that the focus on the selection is slow. Both of my selections have the focus glow. I notice that the mouse cursor does not change over the dropdown buttons on the combobox.
When I do select the item, the player checks out. It appears that most times it eventually comes back and finishes the action - a simple goto frame action.
I was hoping to use the ComboBox component for my non-programming users with this project template I am creating. I don't really want to create a custom, editable component if I can avoid it.
This template is a temporary solution until I build a new template in AS3.
Thanks,
Jim

Blurry when scaling in.. Continually rasterize already on..

I have a question about After Effects and resolution/pixelation. I'm creating a kinetic typography video, where text comes on to the screen. I am doing a lot of scaling/zooming and when I do, the pixelation/resolution is completely ruined and you can barely even read the text.. I have been doing some research on this and everyone says to turn on continually rasterize all of the vector layers, and they are already and it is still blurring when I zoom in.
Here is a preview.. Is there anything I can do to reduce the bluriness when I zoom in?

Can't see the video due to the music copyright restrictions, but I would suspect you are using something that causes rasterization even in AI. Anything from clipping masks to pixel-based effects like drop shadows or Gaussian blur. Anyway, probably perfectly normal and correct the way AE handles it. So unless you change the setup in AI, it will stay this way...

HELP!! Illustrator distorts my Logo when scaling down

How could this happen? I tried to scale a logo down to fit a stamp and Illustrator destroys it by distorting the paths.
This is the original logo
And this is what Illustrator does with it when i scale it down. (Image is scaled to same size to better illustrate the distortion)

in the drop down menu for the transform palette is an option for aligning new objects to pixel grid. might want to check that too for future reference. also, there is the same checkbox when you create a new document. just to be aware.
