  • Best book for beginner?

    Hello,
    Can anyone recommend the best book for a complete novice to Illustrator?
    Ive a background in GIS and am wanting to learn to improve my cartographic skills.
    Does anyone know if theres a book out there that caters towards cartography in illustrator?
    Anyway to get started and learn the basics any preference between Adobe Illustrator CS5 Classroom in a Book:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adobe-Illustrator-CS5-Classroom-Book/dp/032170178X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=U TF8&qid=1306750888&sr=8-1
    and
    The Adobe Illustrator CS5 Wow! Book:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adobe-Illustrator-CS5-Wow-Book/dp/0321712447/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qi d=1306750974&sr=8-1
    Thanks for any help/advice!!

    The WOW book is really for someone with a working knowledge of illustrator and in my opinion pretty useless especially for a beginner.
    Classroom in a Book is an instructional book with tutorials to follow and will give you a working knowledge of how Illustrator works.
    Mordy Goldings Book Real World Illustrator will give essentially instructional use of the program similar to informatio in the help files but in an instructional way organized fro the beginning to to end of the features.
    As far as for Cartography I do not know why there is not one on the market as one of he contributors to the WOW book is a cartographer.
    Illustrator is used a lot by map makers so it would probably be a good idea to have such a book.

  • Best books for beginner

    I've been a mac user for ages. I know how to use the software I need but I know nothing of what goes on "under the bonnet".
    I'm not really interested in becoming an expert, but I'd like to understand how to set up (home)networks and what terms like DNS and IP mean. (and maybe some of the utilities within OSX)
    Can anyone recommend a book or perhaps online (video) tutorial that might enlighten me please?
    Sadly there are no Apple Stores here that I can benefit from.

    Visit a local bookstore and look through their collection of books on computers. Usually there is a group of books about Macs. You can also "browse" the collection of Mac books on Amazon.com or similar online bookseller local to NZ and OZ. You can also check out the bookstore at U. of Auckland.

  • Best methods for importing artwork via Illustrator with tranparency?

    I'm new to Final Cut Pro and am tryin to figure out the best methods for importing artwork via Illustrator. So far, I've been saving the artwork as a transparent PNG, but I feel like there should be a better way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi:
    Ussually I have to rebuild in AI the company logo (I use to work for industries) to include in FCP edit.
    - If you have CS2, open Photoshop and create a new file using the right preset (i.e. DV PAL) using transparent background. That creates a PSD empty file with all attributes you need (pixels dimensions and aspect ratio) to use later in FCP.
    - Select your work (i.e. the final logo) in the AI canvas and copy it.
    - Paste it in the empty PSD file as "vextor information" (I don't remember right now the exact words!). That way you can resize it in the PSD file without loosing quality.
    - The better ir deciding the size NOW in Photoshop, or create sveral version in different sizes. Yuo'll get better quality id you make the resizings in Photoshop rather that doing a scale in FCP timeline.
    - Once your logo is in the right dimension into the PSD file, save a copy and flatten all layers keeping the transparent background. If you don't need the layers during editing in FCP, you better have all layers flattened.
    - Import that file in FCP.
    That's my workflow, but probably you'll find different flavors here!

  • Is inDesign the best product for publishing an interactive training manual?

    I am building an interactive training manual for a fire department and I need to find out the best way to publish this document for use on an iPad or other tablet.  I will be embedding video, text, and photos, along with stacking photos for the 360 degree view.  So far I have read that there is a 2GB size limitation for articles.  I've also read that there is was way to publish privately if it becomes difficult to download from acrobat.com.  I would like this training manual to be all inclusive without having to break it up into multiple articles.  I would like to embed over 3 hours of video, over 200 photographs, over 260 pages of text, and have interactivity throughout.  Is this out of inDesign's scope?  Is there a way to publish this large of a document to multiple iPads without using the App Store or Android Market?  I'm just starting out so I'm looking forward for any constructive help I can get.

    HOW interactive are we talking here? Buttons with rollovers, menus, or the ability to fill in answers like a workbook?
    A freelance client of mine wanted to prepare a workbook with "interactivity" and all looked well... until i was told what "interactive" meant. This example was a science workbook for schools which behaved as a facsimile of the normal book which would be filled in by hand, except that answers were not always checkboxes or text. Sometimes answers would be:
    plot a graph
    draw a picture of an amoeba (for example) and label the parts; or draw the diagram of isopropyl alcohol;
    fill in a crossword
    join the correct reducing agent to the correct oxidising agent
    AFAIK this kind of interactivity isn't possible with the off-the-shelf indesign, and i don't know of any third party software which provides this kind of interactivity. Yes, the author could have been asked to rephrase the questions to fit the limitations of indesign's fill-in forms and interactivity, but the author did not want this.
    Also, is tablet-specific software the right platform to use? Perhaps a website with a paywall may be a better form of distribution and construction, allowing a RIA (Rich Internet Application) to be made for the project.

  • Is Rh the Best App for Managing 41 manuals, with many pages being the same?

    I'd like to automate a labor intensive task that I will soon be assuming. We have 41 install manuals for an automotive accessory that fits 41 different models of vehicles. The current manual is 28 pages with at least 24 pages being identical. The documents are done in Word, along many pictures and drawings. When the document is finished, it is converted to a PDF and sent with the item. The pdf is also made available online for folks who may need the electronic version. When we change one page that is common to all, we have to manually update each Word file and then convert it. As you can imagine, the manuals don't get updated and corrected as often as they should
    Since most of the pages are the same, I would like software that can manage changes to these pages and automatically update all manuals. For example, if a change is necessary on page 6 and 34 manuals use this page, I simply change one page and the software "exports" this new page to all affected manuals.
    1) Would Rh do this?
    2) Would it be the best choice for this task?
    3) If Rh is the best choice for this, what is the best approach for beginning this task? Get a book and read or just jump in?
    4) I came across a book written by a firm called GooberGuides, is this a good resource? Do you recommend a better one?
    5) Does my project require a special technique when setting it up in an app like Rh or is the process fairly intuitive? I don't want to waste time by implementing this incorrectly, only to start over again when I realize there was a better way.
    I would be very grateful for any guidance you could provide.
    Thank you.
    Rodger

    I don't think your questions were answered, except for the tool one, which is not the most important one. I would reverse your questions:
    Does my project require a special technique? Yes! Single sourcing, which is a methodology for developing modular, reusable information, not a tool. Before you even approach a tool, you must analyze your content, define standards for it, define information types (Google for DITA), and convert it from linear (as your Word documents are) to modular.
    I have not seen the GooberGuides book, but I can definitely offer these:
    Content Managment for Dynamic Web Delivery - Jo Ann Hackos
    DITA 101 - Anne Rockley, Charles Cooper, and Steve Manning
    Introduction to DITA: A User Guide to the Darwin Information Typing Architecture - Jennifer Linton & Kylene Bruski
    Managing Enterprise Content: A Unified Content Strategy - Anne Rockley
    Single Sourcing: Building Modular Documentation- Kurt Ament
    Tools - obviously since we're on the Adobe forum, Technical Communication Suite must be acknowledged. But you can accomplish single sourcing with several tools. Check out a brief overview of some at http://www.writersua.com/restools.htm.

  • How to develop a simple plugin for adobe illustrator cs2 using xcode on mac os

    I would like to know the steps to develop a simple plug-in for adobe illustrator cs2 using xcode on mac OS...anything like a dialog box displaying "hello World"... I m new to MAC OS...Please help...
    Thanks in advance

    Get the SDK and start playing with the sample plug-ins. Asking for something as general as "how do I get started" is asking a little much from this forum :) Try your hand at the SDK and come back to ask more specific questions as you run into them.
    Bear in mind that this isn't an Xcode forum either, though I'm sure there are places to get good help on that!

  • Illustrator CS2 Doesn't Start For User on Windows 2000

    I've recently installed Adobe Illustrator CS2 on a Windows 2000 system. When I start the product when logged in as the Administrator, it starts fine. However, when I start the product logged in as a user, it goes thru the startup process, displays all of the various tool windows, and then before it gets to the first time window, it just closes. No error messages, nothing in the Windows system or application log, it just closes the same windows it just opened and then exits.
    I've tried setting the permissions on the folders listed in the Windows Rights KB entry, with no effect. I've tried installing a postscript printer, setting full rights on it, and using it as the default for the user.
    Does anyone know what file right, user priviledge, or other feature might be causing the problem? Thanks.

    I wasn't aware that it required Power User rights. This is somewhat of a high security environment, and that can be difficult.
    Do you, by chance, know what features of Power User rights are needed? I can perhaps grant those to this user, and make it work.
    Do you think it is having a problem accessing portions of the registry, or files in certain folders, or something else?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Hello! I understand I can download Adobe Illustrator CS2 for free but I don't know where to

    Hello! I understand I can download Adobe Illustrator CS2 for free but I don't know where to. Can somebody help me out with this? Thank you very much.

    Hello Stanislav,
    to my knowledge these downloads in Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products is subject to certain conditions, for example: "The serial numbers provided as a part of the download may only be used by customers who legitimately purchased CS2 or Acrobat 7 and need to maintain their current use of these products."

  • Best file for importing images from Illustrator and Photoshop for small file sizes

    Hello Adode consults!
    I'm in the process of preparing an inDesign file for a school project -- I've already had a few harrowing experiences sending large files to the printer that are too large to process (and a very grumpy computer, etc). The end result will be a poster around 36 inches by 4 or 5 feet.
    I'm wondering if there are any best practices for making sure that the files imported into InDesign are a manageable size to begin with. Should I, for instance, be saving each file as a jpeg before placing in Indesign?
    Thanks!
    -Katherine

    No, you should not save every file as JPG before placing it in INDesign. JPG is only usefull for raster images (like photos) without any transparency in high quality.
    When you place images use:
    For raster images from Photoshop psd (rgb with color profile)
    For raster images from Photoshop with form layers, texts or any vector element use PDF (or PDP) with layers.
    For vector graphics from Illustrator use AI files or PDF.
    For layouts from other InDesign projects use either the INDD itsself or export a PDF/X4.
    But to the printer deliver a PDF according to their standards. E.g. when they need CMYK files export as PDF/X1a with the required output color space and the resolution they want. Produce the pdf via Export (Print).
    Don't deliver open INDD. File size should for printing projects not be an issue.

  • How do I get my authorization code for adobe illustrator cs2?

    I have the adobe illustrator cs2 disc with serial number...etc. But I can not seem to get the authorization number, please help me?

    Bella,
    In addition to what Monika said, since the activation servers for CS2 were closed down, your unique serial number and your disks will fail. The only way is to download the non activation versions along with the generic serial number(s). And if you have the Premium, you will have to download Acrobat and GoLive separately as standalone versions.

  • Illustrator CS2 "Save for Web" not functioning properly.

    Illustrator CS2, OS X 10.4.11.
    I am creating graphics for the Web with Illustrator CS2. When I go to Save for Web, the Save for Web window opens properly but the original graphics and type (even though the type is converted to outlines), become pixelated therefore my Web images are pixelated.
    Attached is an example of a jpeg saved at maximum 100 quality.
    I am not umderstanding why my originals become pixelated when doing Save for Web. It used to work until yesterday.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Can anyone help?
    Much appreciated and thanks in advance.

    Mom,
    I figured there's nothing wrong with my native file as a co-worker did the same and Save for Web worked.So why is it that when I do Save for Web, the native file pixelates when previewing the "original"?
    That's what I can't figure out. One minute it worked fine, the next... bang!
    That, and gprobst also being save correctly, imply that there is something wrong with your preferences.
    No time to wait for the server. Here is an extract of the most important part:
    THE CURE:
    Up to Illustrator 10, almost all the preference settings were included in the  aiprefs file, and almost all issues with corrupted settings could be solved by  deleting or moving it; in some rare cases, moving or deleting the folder holding  the settings was required.
    From Illustrator CS on, the preference settings have been spread over a  number of files/subfolders so in many cases deleting the aiprefs file is not  enough: the easy solution is to move the whole folder rather than trying to  figure out which file(s) may be corrupted; just deleting the folder without  moving it first has proved fruitless in some cases.
    Therefore, the cure all consists of the following steps:
    1. Close Illustrator.
    2. Make a Windows search including hidden files and  folders and including subfolders for the  folder holding the preference files; the name of the folder depends on the  Illustrator version, and the position of the folder depends on the OS version.  There is one folder for each version and for each user so it is important to  find the relevant one.
    Up to version 10, the name of the folder is Adobe Illustrator  [X],
    From version CS on, the name of the folder is Adobe  Illustrator [X] Settings.
    [X] is the version number; as standalone versions, CS (Creative Suite) is  called 11, CS2 is called 12, and CS3 is called 13, but the version numbers with  CS are used in the folder name.
    3. Either:
    a) Create a subfolder and move all the contents into it; or
    b) Move  the whole folder to the Desktop.
    With both you may recover the contents of the folder by moving it back if the  issue is not solved and get your preference settings back.
    a) requires creation of the subfolder, but it makes recovery easier,  especially if you create a shortcut to the preference settings folder, and you  can skip the search if/when corruption occurs again.
    You may delete the folder/contents subsequently.
    4. If you have Windows Vista, restart Windows. If not, continue  to 5 without delay.
    5. Restart Illustrator, and see whether the issue is  solved.
