Creating bookmarks with Illustrator

I'm a new illustrator user and would like to create a simple bookmark. How would I get started?
Thanks!

Close Illustrator, then open Acrobat Pro.
(Wait-- that is, if you are talking about PDF bookmarks! ... If not, try "File -> New". That'd be a great start.)

  • Creating Bookmarks with Relative Links

    Can anyone suggest a plugin, or post examples of code to create a bookmark in Acrobat programmatically.  And have the bookmark work with RELATIVE links.  Meaning if you have a bookmark for page 15, and you insert 5 pages at the begining of the document, that bookmark would move to page 20.  When you create the bookmark with a javascript "go to page", script...  when you insert the pages, your bookmark would still point to page 15, the wrong page.
    Any suggestions, hints, web sites to look at, all appreciated.  Thanks.

    "Is that what you meant?"
    Yes. You can download the VBA example or I can state it as VBScript.
    "Sendkey" may be a problem but you can add some error-traping.
    The same you can archieve with "Menuitemexecute", but you have only one problem more.
    You have to check the registry (if it is free for use) and finaly you have to send the key {enter} to close the action.
    As I said I work with mbtPdfasm for setting bookmarks in a batch. It's much more simple and I can give it to co-worker.
    The other acobat based method without using JS or writing a plugin is to use pdfmark.
    You have to produce a ps-file with the commands to set up the bookmarks, then you have to send it to the Distiller.
    After writing that PDF with bookmarks and necessary blank pages you can replace that with the real pages.
    That sounds not only cumbersome. It is - but it works.
    So for me mbtPdfAsm is the solution for reading/writing simple bookmarks.

  • Illustrator cs2 creates pdf with anomalies

    I have Illustrator cs2 (12.0.1) and I create pdfs with it and send these to my clients for proofing. When I view the pdf in acrobat standard 6 it looks fine. When my sales people and clients view it in reader 8 they get a color break down that is incorrect. For example they see a color that should not be there (in the pdf below it is the blue cyan in the logo). So I need to figure out how to fix this problem. Also it does not happen on every pdf.
    here is a link to a pdf
    www.ebfchurch.org/usb3.pdf
    In the link is a pdf that has a problem, and a jpeg to show what it should look like.
    When I save the pdf I have tried turning illustrator off ill. editing capabilities and saved as a V.7 pdf. Not sure what else to try besides making the logo a jpg. Would upgrading to reader 8 help? Would this add that to my selections in illustrator?
    The other anomalies are I's and some lines becoming a dotted line. This one is rarer and is easy to fix (somewhat). I simply rotate the object by a super small portion that no one would notice.
    Thanks for any help.

    Most likely some color separation or transparency flattening thing. Could also be the order of your groups/ shapes. Just hard to tell. For testing, I would save a PDF and do a preflight check in Acrobat or other such tool. This usually reveals any problematic stuff...

  • How to create legislative seating chart with illustrator?

    Please help me. Would be thanful if someone tells me.
    HELP!

    One thing to note before you can add a stroke to the circles after the compound path has been released you will have to once again go to object>expand, I do not know why but it is necessary.
    Some screen shots to help you along.
    Also you actually need to make it seven concentric dividers not eight.
    In this screen shot one of the stroke circles is selected so you can see in the stroke panel the center option for the alignment is active that is the one ou need of course.
    Also I am sorry I forgot to spell check in my original posting. So you will probably have to use your imagination…quite a lot.

  • My How can I sync my bookmarks with my browser of choice on PC so i can have same bookmarks and bookmark-folders in my PC browser as I have made on my iOS device?

    I have saved bookmarks on my iOS device and neately organized them as well. I want my IE or Chrome to import those bookmarks so i can have a copy of each in my computer. Plus I would prefer the same arrangement in my browser as on my iOS device. Is there any way of achieving this using iCloude?
    In short, i want to importe my bookmarks from iPad to Windows PC browser (i would prefer firefox, but chrome is also a fine option).

    On your iOS device, go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your iCloud account and turn Safari to On.  Then set up iCloud on your PC as explained here:  http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html, and check Bookmarks.  The requirements for syncing bookmarks with iCloud are:
    Windows 7 or Windows 8
    iCloud Control Panel 3.0
    Internet Explorer 9
    Firefox 22
    Google Chrome 28 (desktop mode only)
    Not sure if the bookmark organization will be the same on your PC or not.

  • How can i print a list of bookmarks or extract bookmarks with number paper to print?

    How can i print a list of bookmarks or extract bookmarks with number paper to print?

    I have created a tool which can create a summary of the bookmarks structure of a file in either PDF format or as a plain text file, and you can also choose whether or not to include the matching page number for each bookmark. Have a look here: http://try67.blogspot.com/2008/11/acrobat-export-bookmarks-to-pdf-txt.html

    HI there,

  • Issue with Illustrator CS6 - can't get it to run

    Since a couple of weeks ago, I have an issue with Illustrator CS6 - can't get it to run When starting the application I get the following error:
    "The procedure entry point ?AcquireVarient@ImageInterface@drawbot@dvaui@@QBE?BV?$intrusive_ptr@UImageInterface@drawb ot@dvaui@@@boost@@V?$rational@J@5@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library D:\Program Files\Contents\Windows\Illustrator.exe."
    I'm running it on Windows 8 (x64). I have multiple other Adobe applications installed, which are running fine. I've tried solving the issue with reinstalling Illustrator - multiple times. My GPU driver is updated to the latest version.

    I have this issue as well on my Mac and called tech support 4 times and they can't fix it. Adobe has really gone down hill in a short amount of time!!
    Only thing that worked (as a temporary fix) is to create a new user and toggle back and forth between two users which is very annoying. Adobe has tried uninstalling, reinstalling, taking over my computer remotely, trashing plugins, verifying permissions but the fact remains that we bought CS6 four weeks ago and Illustrator doesn't work.
    I'm going on Facebook to let others know.....don't buy Adobe, it doesn't work and they don't know how to fix.

  • Acrobat Pro 7 quits when creating bookmarks

    I can only go up to Acrobat 7 on my Mac unless I upgrade from OS 10.3.9. PDFs create fine. Create bookmark by highlighting text and hit command-b. Repeat a few times. Save document and Acrobat quits. Original document is Word 2004 for Mac 11.5.0. I suspect Acrobat doesn't like the hidden TOC data in the headings I am using for bookmarks. BUT, this never happened with Distiller 4.0, the last version I used extensively. Anybody got a fix? I have a 1GHz G4 eMac with 768MB ram.

    Evidently I mispoke, it works on 10.4. I thought I had been using it on X.3.9.Because I have one hard drive  that use X.3.9. Ther are some updates to 7.0 though. Make sure you your using the most up to date version.  Sorry for misleading you.

  • Can't create a new illustration. Problems occurred while saving the print file.

    I can't open a new Illustrator file. It sends me this error: Can't create a new illustration. Problems occurred while saving the print file. ID:-1
    I opened a previous document created in CC, but it will not allow me to copy and paste items from one doc to another.
    I have rebooted with no avail.

    Is a printer connected? Is it turned ON? Is the driver up to date?
    Illustrator checks this every time and also writes information on the printer into the file.

  • Pdf/x-4 2010 pdf preset made via Indesign not compatible with Illustrator?

    Hello all
    I am working with a digital printing company and want to create a pdf preset that they can distribute to their customers to help make sure pdfs are properly made for their workflow. We've tested pdf/x-4 on their equipment and want to make that standard the base for their preset.
    I made a preset in IndesignCC which shows up and is accessible in InDesignCC and PhotoshopCC, but is not accessible in IllustratorCC. It does not show up in the presets list in the "save as... pdf" dialogue. It does show up in the Edit>Adobe PDF Presets function though.
    When I attempt to load the .joboptions file into Illustrator via that Adobe PDF Presets function I get the error "The preset is not recognized as a valid .joboptions file."
    I noticed that IllustratorCC is using the pdf/x-4 (2008) standard, while InDesignCC is using the pdf/x-4 (2010).
    Is IllustratorCC not yet compatible with the 2010 standard? If not, this is a serious wrench in the pdf preset workflow that allows the applications to share .joboptions files amongt themselves.
    Any thoughts or help solving the problem of sharing that InDesign Generated preset with Illustrator would be much appreciated.

    Hi jdanek, thanks for replying. PDF/x-4 supports transparency natively, supports multiple color spaces (this allows the vendor's rips to handle color conversion), and is an excellent option for their PDF print engine workflow. They want a custom variety that sets the resolution, bleed, etc. to give to their customers.
    I did resolve the issue by making a new preset in Illustrator. That one is also available in InDesign and Photoshop but still, I'm curious as to why the InDesign-made preset is not compatible with Illustrator.

  • Boxes created in Adobe Illustrator and placed in InDesign appear misaligned in PDF.

    Boxes created in Adobe Illustrator and placed in InDesign appear misaligned in PDF.

    ?Hi, Sara.
    I'm viewing in Adobe Acrobat Pro. Not sure what my client has.
    And, yes, the boxes are all transparent. I tried pasting the native AI file, and EPS file, with the same result. When viewed at 150% and above, they look perfect. But, when viewed to fit page on screen, they distort.
    They print fine, too.

  • Can't open just created file in illustrator

    Hello!
    Yesterday I created 4 logos and saved them in AI and today I can't open any of them. Illustrator says it's in know format and can't be open.
    This error happens all the time for last 2 month and not only with illustrator, but with photoshop and indesign too. I can't work like this! I can't redo everything all the time.
    I use Mac with Yosemite and CC2014.
    Can someone help me? I tried restarting, clearing preferences and installing and uninstalling all the apps. illustrator

    kirito,
    It is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky, at least for a while, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
    In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

  • Created file in illustrator then opened in photoshop but color code changed?

    I Created file in illustrator and then opened the art in photoshop but the wierd thing is that the color code changed. If you look at the image with you eye the color will look the same to the naked but if you use the eye dripper tool you can see that the color code has changed between illustrator and photoshop.
    Is there a way to make the CMYK color code stay the same?

    In Illustrator the "Edit---> color settings" are set to "North America General Purpose 2" and the that is the same color setting choice in Photoshop.
    For example there is a black color in Illustrator that has this CMYK code "60, 49,47, 100"
    but in photoshop the CMYK code for the same part of the graphic changes to "75, 68, 67, 90"
    This is only one example of many color code changes that are happening and this may look like the same color on the screen but I need them to both have the same code because I am doing specialized printing and need no changes in color codes like this to occur.
    If I have the color setting in both photoshop and illustrator both set exactly the same "Edit---> color settings" then do you know why this color shift would be happening. Please help.

  • Creating bookmarks on a page or on controls in the page?

    Is this available?  Generally I like to use the left panel as the "Pages" panel or hidden.  I find the bookmarks more of an annoyance unless I have more than a few pages (which happens much less, usually 2-6 pages tops).
    So, is there an easy way to add bookmarks to onscreen controls or just have them floating on the page?  I work in an office that much of the documentation is shared from various computers so activing another menu  item and creating it on my machine would do little to help in terms of effecieny.  I'm not familiar with JS but I'm familiar with programming (mostly VB).
    Thanks!

    Type writer, calculater tape, Text box, highlights,rectangle tools, etc.  anything you would add to an existaning PDF for purposes of defining what it is or incorporating it into some analysis.  Most of the PDFs I work with are scanned images of documents or converted/printed to PDF from existing software.
    A lot of times I'll have a multipage document 4 pages long and some of the relevant information is on the 3rd or 4th page.  I'd like to take a typewriter or some other object control and have it be a bookmark, as opposed to having the "Bookmarks" panel open.
    This would eliminate two things that happen.  One, having to have the panel open all the time, even in documents where there are no bookmarks and two, eliminate the need to use the bookmark panel to retrace or refocus where you are when dealing with an index of bookmarks while your in one bookmark with multiple pages.  I.E. I have a PDF with 200 pages, it has roughly 40 parent bookmarks and a few child bookmarks within those 40.  Some of those bookmarks are mulitple pages but rather create a 2nd or 3rd tier bookmark for each page, I'd like to have the first page of the multipage bookmark have objects on it to lead into the remaining page(s) with relevant information.
