Creating a Press Kit in Illustrator

I'm brand new to using Illustrator (but not to Adobe products), I was wondering if anybody knew of any tutorials, etc to make a press kit. Most online where about creating fonts, etc.
Thank you for the help. I greatly appreciate it.

Scott was asking for more than that, he was hoping to inspire you to help us somewhat more tells what you mean by packet, I've deigned many press kits and they can take all different forms started with some pages stapled at the top left corner.
So work a little harder at decribing what you envision as to the physical nature of the packet with pages.
You are not likely to get much assistance unless you show a little more effort on your end.

I would like to create a sine wave in Illustrator. How do I do this in a simple way?

Hi,
As the title suggest I would like to create a sine wave in illustrator. I know that applying the zig zag effect to a line and choosing "smooth" will create a cosine wave. But is there a simple way like that to create a sine way? Or any way at all?
Thanks for the help!
ekmanch

1. start with the zig zag effect
2. with the scissor tool cut where the ends of the red line is - I made the rest blue to make it clear
3. delete the blue segments to get this
4. using the black pointer or scale tool stretch horizontally to match the reference
5. using the white pointer select one of the smooth anchor points, and using the Scale tool and holding Shift drag to scale constraining horizontally until the curve matches the reference
6. select the other smooth point and with the scale tool selected press the Enter key on your keyboard twice to apply the previous scale

I have files that may have been created in various versions of Illustrator. We need to be able to open them, but all we have is CS6 suite. I have called and been told that "technicians at adobe" could perform a paid service to find out what the files were

I have files that may have been created in various versions of Illustrator. We need to be able to open them, but all we have is CS6 suite. I have called and been told that "technicians at adobe" could perform a paid service to find out what the files were created in and get them to be useable in InDesign 6, but I'd need an email address that was registered to our software to give the help desk person. After finding the correct email address, different adobe help number people told me to come here to ask as there is no phone support. Can anyone get me to an adobe technician that can provide a price quote for finding out what created these files and for getting them converted? Thanks.

Sorry, I understood you to say you had the whole CS6 suite, which includes Illustrator.
As far as finding out what the files are, sometimes you can look at them in a text editor to figure this out. See below; the, Creator Tool line. Not every software package makes it this easy, though.

Hello, I have created a distribution kit for my program.The problem is that the when the program is installed onto another computer, it fails to communicate with field point (Using FP-AO-200 and FP-AO-1000). Help is greatly appreciated, Thanks faen9901

Hi Everyone,
I have a program that sends information(analog output) to lab windows cvi in the form of a text file or user input.
The program runs on the computers that I have the field point explorer and lab windows cvi installed on. In order to run the program without always installing labwindows/cvi and field point; I wanted to create an executable file that could be load on another computer.
I used the create distribution kit part of labwindows/cvi to do this.After creating the distribution kit, I then installed it
to another computer.
My user interface appears on the screen, when the user clicks on the exe. file, but no data is sent to the field point module. I know that the data is being read from the user and textfile because in it appears in the uir.
The following are some details about the problem:
1. On another computer without labwindows/cvi and field point explorer not installed - no data is sent to field point module
I know this because a current is being read on the current meter connected to field point module.
My questions are the following:
1. What are the possible reasons for the data not being sent to the field point module?
2. Do I still need to create an iak. (Installing Field point Explorer) file stored on any new computer that I install my created distribution kit file too?
Thankyou very much for any help that you can provide. I greatly appreciate it.

1) If you do not install FieldPoint Explorer, the FieldPoint Server is not installed so there is nothing on the target computer that knows how to talk to the FieldPoint system.
2) Yes, you need an IAK file on the target computer. Assuming the settings (i.e. com port#) are identical you can simply include the iak file as part of the distribution.
3) You also need to include as part of your installer the file "fplwmgr.dll". If this file is not installed, your program will not be able to access the FieldPoint Server. Alternatively, this file is installed automatically if FieldPoint Explorer detects LabWindows/CVI or Measurement Studio Development versions on the target computer or if you choose to do a custom FieldPoint Explorer installation and
choose to provide LabWindows/CVI support.

How to create gift card template in Illustrator?

I'm trying to create a gift card in Illustrator. When I initally create new document under "File", I set the width to 3.5" and height 2.25" and the top, bottom, left and right bleed to .125". There wasn't an option to preset the radius of corners for the gift card. The gift card appears square in the document like a business card. How do I create the rounded corners of gift card in Adobe Illustrator CS5 (PC)? Lastly how far do I inset the dash line where text (or QR code) will be positioned? I wish to be able to save gift card document as a template for future projects.

Double click on the layer in an area of that layer which is not occupied by info to the right of name.
this dialog appears check Template if it is not already selected and that automatically makesi non printing but you can not work on that layer.
You can also uncheck printing the layer will not print but you cans ill work on it.
Hrre is the rounded rectangle tool.
select the rounded rectangle tool and double click on the document (artbaord ) to bring up the dialog and enter te dimensions of the card and the radius corners.
Now you us ehe align panel or the align icons in the control panel to align the rounded rectangle to your artboard using he option to align to artboard.
Now the video shoul have filled your screen unless ou are using a low resolution for your monitor.
Bu more important you should read help files about creating documents using the various tools and the various panels and either take a course in using Illustrator or read some books on the subject.
The Real World Illustrator book by Mordy Goldin is a good one.
But it is going to very frustrating if you have noi working knowledge of the application.

I've not done this before and so I'd need to know where to put each item, in which section in order to make sure it's on the right 'page' when I fold it. I guess it'll be a matter of 'trial and error'.
Not at all. Assuming you are talking about a one page folded brochure: Take a sheet of paper and fold it the way the brochure will be folded (bi-fold, tri-fold, or whatever). Hold it so you are looking at the "cover", and number that section 1. Continue to number each section as you unfold it. Then lay the paper flat to see the arrangement.
Folding it will also let you know if you need to allow a little extra on one side as opposed to the other (common for tri-fold brochures).

Create a funnel shape in Illustrator CS6?

Hello I am trying to create a funnel shape in Illustrator that is divided up by levels. For example a funnel shape with six different levels. I have uploaded an example, when I have tried to use an image trace to get the basic shape the lines aren't sharp they are often bumpy and not straight. Anyone have tips or a how to create a sharp funnel image? Thanks a lot!

Half of the cross-section. Like this:
This was all done with filled shapes. If you want the inside to be all the same colour it would probably entail using stroked shapes.

How to Create a Ribbon in Adobe Illustrator

Pretty cool article I found here: http://www.layerform.com/create-a-ribbon-in-adobe-illustrator/
Goes over how to create a flat ribbon, expand its appearance and then bend it for a unique shape!
Just thought i would share with you guys!

Have it as you will but that tutorial is old hat. If you like that style better you can do the same with the 3D effect and much more quickly. A single stroke, 3D Extrude, expand and a tiny bit of editing

How do I create a 3D pyramid using Illustrator CC?

I have been trying to create a 3D pyramid using Illustrator CC. All the tutorials I have found have been telling me I need to create a custom bevel, but the Bevels.ai file is not in the plugins folder as it used to be. How do I create a custom bevel in Illustrator CC?
Thanks!

Perfect now you have two such files whiuch ae different
yes, that's perfect. Because that way you've got the origibal unaltered file as a fallback in case you made any error when editing it.
snd looking for trouble when all you had to do was save it and close it.
No, you're not looking for trouble when saving a copy. Actually in the future you're looking into less trouble not having to open the program package again, mistaking the open window with something else and editing in there.
Not like Illustrator is prone to preference corruption.
Preferences have got nothing to do with the plugin folder.

Are you including the run-time engine in the distribution kit? I have found a KB that suggests removing the run-time engine. Let me know if that allows the build to complete.

I am having trouble saving my swatches and brushes that I create. After I close Illustrator, and come back later my swatches and brushes are gone.

I am having trouble saving my swatches and brushes that I create. After I close Illustrator, and come back later my swatches and brushes are gone.

Once you have a document with the swatches, brushes, symbols that you want, save it as a new Document Profile.
Document profiles can be found (and saved) in Library > Application Support > Adobe > Adobe Illustrator 18 (if you have CC) > your language folder > New Document Profiles.
Next time you create a document you will find it in the list of profiles.

PDF workflow : pre-press preparations in Illustrator interfere : Suggestions?

Our packaging graphics group adopted a PDF workflow which has eliminated the clutter common of art file submissions. However, one print provider must preform additional preparations to the artwork, inserting supplier insignia and adding special press markings in addition to the customary trim marks and such. These final pre-press preparations are performed in Illustrator. Consequently, Illustrator ignores our PDF's embedded fonts. Unless the supplier has the same fonts installed, the PDF won't output accurately when it's saved/distilled again.
Any suggestions on how to retain a PDF workflow when pre-press preparations involve adding content?

You might look at inserting these objects as a watermark in PDF format?
Your choice is slightly limited with Acrobat but Enfocus Pitstop might
help? You can create a page mark action which will detect the trim box
and then append custom information outside for the pre-press
requirements ...

How to create a eps file from illustrator?

I am new to illustrator and new to creating logos for print, I usually only do it for the web. I am creating a logo for my team so that it can be printed onto a jacket. I created an all white logo because the jacket is black. I was asked to send an eps file. I created the logo in illustrator and saved it as an eps file and as a pdf file thinking the printer could use the pdf for viewing. When I open the pdf file, the only thing that's there is a soccer ball, my text and a few other things are missing. When I open the saved eps file, the same thing, I have to go to select all to see all my other stuff in the eps file. How do I save my file as eps and know that it's attaching everything I have within the illustrator file and how can I view the logo as a pdf? Any help you can give would be greatly appeciated, thanks so much!

How did you similate the black color?
Since Illustrator does not have a background, you must create one with the rectangle tool, drag out a rectangle the size of the document and then move it to the back. That rectangle can then be filled with black.
Also look in your layers panel and see what you have for objects. You can select them there and move them up or down to bring them forward or backward on the document. It can also make it easier to select when the object is below others.
