Yes. Choose File > Save As. Give the file a name. For Save
as Type,
choose Illustrator 7 AI.

How to export diagrams as vector images (.svg, .pdf)

Dear all,
I have a series of models designed with Eclipse Luna (mostly Papyrus 1.0.1) that I would like to include in a document as vectors (for the best printing quality possible).
Exporting these diagrams in Eclipse Luna itself results in the error reported in Bug 459978. This bug has been marked has fixed on Mars (Papyrus 1.1.0), however, diagram export in Mars is totally non functional (whichever the image format), as reported in Bug 473803.
I have also tried exporting these models with Kepler, but that older version of Papyrus fails to recognise the diagrams included.
So the question boils down to: how can I export diagrams as vector images? Is there any alternative software that I could use? Or perhaps can I rely on some other strategy?
Thank you for reading.

In case you may wonder, Bug 473803 prevailed onto Papyrus 1.1.1. It thus remains impossible to export diagrams as images in Eclipse Mars.
Thank you.

How to I make my animated vector images better quality when exporting to a SWF file?

I created an interactive PDF and SWF file. My animation only works on the SWF file, but the vector image is low res. On the PDF it doesn't animate (which I know,) but it's high res. However, the SWF file animated, but looks low res. Thoughts?

Changing text to an image should never be considered since there is no content for the SEO spiders and the images will slow your page download time to a crawl.
This page shows web safe fonts and also how you need to use hosted fonts if you want something different...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Fonts-Colors.html
The above method uses an HTML snippet and, since this is fairly cumbersome, is only suitable for adding features like special headings. It does allow you to add text shadow using CSS rather than all these wasteful PNG images.
To use hosted fonts on a whole site you would need to add CSS styles in the head of the HTML doc for every page of your site. But its not low tech and, if you could do this, you wouldn't be using iWeb!

How to export my vector lines at different sizes

Hi. First post here. I have been using photoshop and illustrator at my university. I need some help exporting my graphics at known pixel dimensions. Illustrator seems to give the cleanest results, and the stroke antialiasing is much better than in photoshop, so I'm keen to do my final export from illustrator.
I have attached four images to show what I'm doing.
1 - depth map, this is rendered from a 3D terrain package. White = far, black = near
2. Find edges in depth map - the values in this image correspond to the depth discontinuities in number 1. High values = large depth edges
3. Import into illustrator - do a live trace, stroke, set threshold. Get some nice vectors
4. Convert to live paint, set stroke width. Antialiasing is great
OK. My questions are:
a) How do I export a jpg at a fixed size, in this case 640 by 360? I want my original depth maps to be much higher resolution so I get quality vectors, but I want to export the final image at 640 x 360. I haven't figured out how to resize the original to those dimensions
b) Are there different antialiasing styles to mess around with? When I zoomed in on a microsoft word screenshot I noticed the antialiasing was in colour around black text. I wonder if that could be useful to me
c) If you have any better techniques for vectorising and then rasterising for display these mountain lines, please let me know.
Thank you!!!

jt,
To get a 640 x 320 px JPEG, set the reolution (as Export option) to 640/W, where W is the Width in inches; or similarly for height.
I definitely do not know of this option though it would be good to have such a setting.
But what you have do if you are not using Save for Device and Web is to actually make a copy of the art turn off the visibility of the original art
then resize the copy to your desired dimension either width or height, in this case probably width.
Then make a new art board, holding the shift key down allows you to make one within the bounds of another artboard.
Then double click the artboard tool to enter the dimension of you desired jpeg
then reposition the art in the artboard you just made and then export to jpeg using the Use Artboard option and selecting that artboard.
So if you set the artboard to 640x360 pixels that is what you will get.
Save for Device and Web is easier there you can enter dimensions

Action batch export issue with image trace

So, currently I'm working on batch processing jpeg sequences using illustrator's image trace and distortion effects. I have batch exported the image traces of the sequences via Adobe bridge. Now I'm trying to create an action which opens the .ai files containing those image traces, apply a graphic style to the trace, and export a png from that. I'm banging my head against the wall trying to get this to work right now. If I do the steps (step by step... not using a recorded action) I want on a single file, it works great, but the moment I batch export using the action I've created, it puts the original .png image that the image trace was linked to, on top of the image. The result is a bunch of .png exports that look exactly like my original image sequence. If I add a "save" function to the action and open the resulting .ai files, I can see that the image trace vectors are in the file. The "linked png" however visible on the layer above those vectors. Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? How do I get rid of that pesky linked image.
Also, for anyone who might be thinking that it has something to do with expanding the image trace before applying effects, this issue I'm running into, I've determined, is happening higher up in the hierarchy of the actions... If I simply make an action to open the image trace illustrator file and save it back out, the same issue occurs... placing the .png "linked file" on top of the vector image.
While I'm at it, I might as well ask if anyone knows how to change the illustrator default image trace preset.... Without being able to change it, or much less specify in the action sequence that I'd like to use a user created image trace preset rather than the default setting, it's greatly overcomplicating my workflow. Makes what could easily be one-step batch processing into two. Seems pretty silly if you ask me.
Please, if you guys have any insights on this, let me know. It's super frustrating... By the way, if you're wondering what type of effect I'm going for, the idea (as well as some explanation into their own process) starts at 12:44 of this video (http://vimeo.com/77427470).
THANKS!

Just wanted to let you guys know, for anyone who might be having my same issue... My home computer, even after a fresh install of Illustrator, was still placing the linked jpeg over the traced vector shapes when batch exporting... I did however find a workaround. Rather than using Bridge CS6 for the batch image tracing, I used Bridge CS5 to trace in Illustrator CS5. Then, I used Illustrator CS6 to batch export an action that imported and applied an effect to those image traced sequences. When you do this, it forces you to expand the tracing on import (because of the difference in Illustrator versions I'm assuming). This way, when you batch run the action, it's already working with expanded vector shapes. Not sure why this works, but it does.
Also, I was having some issues getting Illustrator to apply the graphic style when batch exporting. I got it to work by copying an object with that particular graphic style to the clipboard, then adding in the action I was running a "paste" command, followed by a "clear" command. I can only assume that Illustrator was having issues loading custom graphics styles while batch exporting. The paste/delete technique is annoying, but gets it done.
Anyways. Just wanted to check in on this one. I'm happy I was able to muscle my way through it all.

Random Vectors/images color inverted in print, but not in PDF. Where does the fault lie?

Sent a PDF to the newspaper printer and some of the images had inverted/strange colors. However...
In one case I had duplicate images of a pink vector flower. SOME of the flowers were inverted, to a dark blue/black, and some were fine(pink). These were embedded vectors.
In other instances vectors, went from orange to blue/black, pink to blue/black, and yellow/white to blue black. I specify because in one vector image, a ring, the ring was yellow, but the diamond was white, and it all changed to the same blue/black in print.
Finally, there were two greyscale Tiff photographs of a pair of ladies. These are not embedded, and have not been altered at all and since the last time this paper has been printed, (which printed fine). This time, they were inverted. Nothing else on the page was inverted.
As far as I can tell, there is not a separation issue, and I have saved the file from InDesign CC to pdf using the same settings as dozens of times before. The pdf on my end looks fine. The printer says they just print what they receive, but as far as I can tell, there is no issue on our end. The fact that some duplicated images printed fine, and others did not seem to confirm this. Everything is properly linked. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is this a pdf, InDesign, or even an adobe problem at all, or it is something on their end? I have heard of inverted colors before, but can't find a solution (especially as I can't even see the problem on my end.)
Using Windows 8, up-to-date InDesign CC, and Acrobat Pro, Illustrator CS6 ver.16.2.0 64bit
I have no idea what the printer uses.

Where does the fault lie? - in an environment where they (the newsprinter) collect up front, have no responsibility for quality and arrogantly believe, perhaps correctly, that you'll be back with another paying job in the future.
Check the file you sent via Acrobat Preflight or Output Preview for RGB elements.
Check the file you sent via Acrobat Preflight - Checks - For Transparency Used
Do any of these elements off color involve rgb or interact (with or near) any transparency?
(InDesign could show these attributes via the links panel or a Live Preflight. Both can be (probably should be in your case) changed via the PDF Export)

Illustrator drops a filled path when saving as pdf or exporting as an image

Hi everyone,
I am running AI CS5 on an i5 iMac with 8GB memory. I am having an issue where Illustrator is leaving out a filled path upon exporting or saving the AI file as a pdf or bitmap image. The workaround is to open the AI file in Photoshop, and save it from there, and there are no issues; save that my vector image and text has now been rasterized.
The screenshot below shows my AI file as it exists in Illustrator:
And this is after exporting as bitmap or saving as PDF (opened in Acrobat):
Notice the white fill above the DTP mark; it has been left out. I tried to import the file into InDesign and export it has a PDF from there, and the same issue happens, which makes me think it is a problem with the native AI file. I have also copied/pasted the file into another document and the same thing still happens. Any help that you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Bill

It was marked for overprint somehow. Got it!

Pdf file when made from inDesign is not cutting vector images outside of its windows

Hello,
I have a page in illustrator full of vector images. I bring it into InDesign and crop them by putting each piece in it's own window. Then, I make a pdf. When I open the pdf in Illustrator it looks fine but when I hit the preview/artwork option, I can see that all the images from that original Illustrator doc with it. Is there any way to have just the vectors I have revealed through each InDesign window come in? The InDesign Files contains multiple pages and each window contain only ones part of that illustrator file...but all the other pieces in the illustrator file stay outside that cropped area of the window when brought into Illustrator again...anyone know how to avoid this?
thanks

I just did a banner for a local plumbing contractor and used InDesign to
create it. I placed a vector drawing on the banner and masked it off
using a frame right to the edge of the banner.
I exported a PDF but the printe came back asking for an Illustrator
file. Fine, it's just one line of text anyway and the drawing so I open
it in Illy and it looks fine. Resave and the guy comes back telling me
that his RIP can't handle the masked image. All I can say is thank
heavens for the eraser tool in Illustrator. It would have taken me
forever to fix this with the pen tool.
So, apparently there are reasons (I didn't see any point in grilling the
guy about his workflow, it was a one-off and I'll likely never have to
work with him again) to crop instead of mask. So it's either the eraser
in Illy or rasterize the thing in Photoshop and crop it there.

Some questions about creating web animations with lighter data and exporting to vector Flash format.

Hi, I will be creating animations in After Effects mostly using Illustrator vector files and will be exporting to SWF or XFL for using the animations on the web.
One of the priorities is light data as possible to provide viewers with slower connections with better experience. However the animation should also impress and I need to find a balance between performance and possible imagery. The animations may have sound and voice narrative.
I need help with understanding which type of non-vector data is heavier than others. Non-vector image data or sound and voice? And from non-vector image data is some of it lighter or heavier than other - for example motion blur vs smooth gradient vs many colors?
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions, tips, pointers, etc.,

Let's do a little "Myth Busters" on that one, shall we?
Vector data is per se not "lighter" than pixel data. You could have complex paths for which storing the information of the individual nodes takes up more space than a pixel image of the object.
Dynamic rasterization of vector data costs CPU performance and may in effect make things more slow than just playing a series of pixel images. That would apply to anything from path strokes to gradients.
All your pretty AI vectors don't mean anything if they are constructed in such a way that either AE or Flash need to rasterize them on import. Anything from converting Bezier paths to paths consisting of dense linear segments to converting fills, patterns, gradient meshes and so on to pixel data
Pixels are pixels. It does not matter whether they are gradients, mothionblur or just non-antialiased shapes. Flash doesn't care and neither image format that may be used in Flash stores any more or less info. They only differ in their methods, but in the end it's for you to decide whether you use JPEG, PNG8 or PNG24. They all have their pros and cons.
It makes a difference, if data is embedded in an SWF or if it is externally linked just as it makes a difference whether you enforce audio sync or not, playing every frame or not.
So for all intends and purposes, it's still up to you to make up your own mind and find the best solution. And Rick has a point - if you're really that concerned about efficiency, then do it in Flash or Flash Catalyst and consider the options there that may help like GPU accelerated layer styles for drop shadows etc., dynamic text or your vector data remaining vector in teh first place.

How can I allow other applications to use vector image data in Flash CS5?

Specific to Flash Professional CS5. With its export options greatly reduced, there seems to be no way to make Flash graphics accessible by other programs. Is there any workaround?
Currently, Flash can output two kinds of vector images: SWF and FXG, neither of which seem to be importable by most applications, including Fireworks and Illustrator (which write to FXG but not read from it), and Catalyst doesn't seem to write to anything other than what Builder uses. In other words, I know no way to export Flash files to vector formats (besides using Flash CS4).

Hello
http://cps-internal.corp.adobe.com/cps/150/tn_15022.html
It says :
Director supports a wide variety of graphic formats. Vector graphics are supported as native vector shapes (#vectorShape) or as Flash SWF files. Vector shapes are created in Director using the Vector tool. Often, developers need to import art created in an illustration application such as Macromedia FreeHand, Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW. However, EPS, AI, FH9 and CDR file formats are not natively supported in Director and cannot be imported without the use of an Xtra or plug-in.
It is possible to save artwork created in Macromedia FreeHand as a SWF file, which can then be imported into Director. For Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW users this can also be accomplished using the Macromedia FlashWriter plug-in for Adobe Illustrator or the CorelDRAW Exporter. These plug-ins are available for free download at the Flash Download Center for registered users of Illustrator and CorelDRAW.
EPS files may also be imported into Director using a third-party Xtra. The PS2VS Xtra from Moshofsky/Plant Creative Services for Director 7 and 8 works on both Macintosh and Windows operating systems. The Xtra can be downloaded from the Moshofsky/Plant PS2VS Web page. The current version converts Adobe Illustrator (EPS and AI files) and Macromedia FreeHand EPS files to Director 8 #vectorShapes.
Note:The PS2VS Xtra is a third-party product and is NOT supported by Macromedia or Macromedia Technical Support.
Will this work ?

Importing vector image that can be edited in keynote 6

Hi All,
I have a vector image (eps) that I'd love to put in my keynote 6 presentation. Need to be able to edit it.
Struggling to find a way. I can get the image in, but not able to edit it.
Any ideas?

There is a way to export the vectors such that that you can edit the fill, stroke, even modify the points in Keynote HOWEVER it requires that you have a version of Keynote that will still open Keynote 1 files. If you still have that old version of Keynote, check this page.
http://www.christianholz.net/keynote_utilities.html
In addition EazyDraw will also export Keynote 1 files.
http://www.eazydraw.com/fileFormats.htm
It was fairly straightforward for these tools to generate a text .xml file structure for Keynote 1. As the latest Keynote no longer opens files like these (and the current format isn't built on an easily understandable xml base) it remains to be seen if Apple will create a tool that allows developers to export to this latest Keynote version.

Vector image becomes pixelated and distorts text

This is an issue that is driving me nuts! I have a vector image created in Illustrator that I am placing in InDesign with an opacity setting. When I print it to a PDF the text (and anything created in InDesign) that is over the image and the image itself become pixelated. In InDesign in displays perfectly but something is happening in the conversion to PDF that is screwing up the file. It displays and prints pixelated. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks so much!

Hey Nik-
I think I fixed it but fill me in. The text is on a seperate layer above the image. I am printing to a PDF, is exporting better? I just changed the transparency flattener to High resolution when i printed to a PDF it is now displaying and printing properly in Acrobat.
Is that the best way to do this to ensure when I take it to a printer it will come out clean?
Thanks!

How to get crisp clear vector images into motion2

I am new to this forum and love it.
My question to all you smart people is when I use illustrator for all my logos for companies. How do I get them imported into my motion project. I have heard of different ways, but none have done the trick. I see logos on samples that look clear and like vectors but when I place them they get really blurry. Also when I place the logo as a large image and scale it down, it looks horific.
Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated. I have pulled enough hair out on this project. Thanks a lot.

After checking my resolution, it is set at FULL, so let me explain my equipment. I am using a brand new G5, a digital output monitor, and OS X 10.4.6.
Do you guys think that I am just expecting too much from Motion, to make the image clear or should it look just as clear as a vector image in Illustrator.
Should I adjust any picture resolutions before importing a high resolution image.
Does anyone have a quick sample of Motion of a logo that they imported in motion and maybe that way I can compare it with mine, or give me the exact directions of how you smart people export and import logos into Motion. Thanks a lot, and I am destine to get my logos clear as I can.

Why do fonts and vector images look broken in Acrobat Pro (on retina display)

I often get scared of doing something horribly wrong every time I export to PDF from Indesign CC. I know I didn't mess up but my scariness is the effect of the terrible graphic support in Acrobat when viewing the pdf's. Fonts and Vector images look broken and the look of fonts only gets better after zooming in at an incredible 6400% ! Are my preference settings in Acrobat wrong or is it because Acrobat doesn't support Retina yet?

Moving this discussion to the Acrobat Installation & Update Issues forum.
