Exporting back to Illustrator CC

Hi,
how is it possible to export an illustration from Flash Professional CC back to Illustrator CC, in vector format?
I started the work in Illustrator and finalized the composition in Flash. And now I need to bring the same composition back to Illustrator, but can't find how to do that.
The file needs to stay in vector format.
Many thanks advance!

when your done with you Flash project, select Export > Export Image then select .svg format. You'll need to play with the settings to get your desired preference of how you want the illustartion saved out but you'll be able to open it in Illustrator and manipulate it from there.
Hope this helps

Pasting Illustrator native file from InDesign back into Illustrator

I created a logo for a client in Illustrator. The logo was placed into an InDesign file for a collateral piece. The printer made a few changes to my logo per the client's request, but did so directly in the InDesign document instead of the original Illustrator file. So, this is what I need to know:
Since the printer made the changes in the InDesign file instead of my original Illustrator document, I just want to make sure that it is fine to paste the logo back into Illustrator and use that as my logo file moving forward. I wasn't sure if that will cause any issues with the logo and if the proper way and better way would be to go back into my original Illustrator file and make those corrections myself in my native Illustrator file. I don't know if this even matters, but I just want to make sure I do this correctly. Thanks!

I think a lot depends on the nature of the logo. Use of transparency, effects and so on could really mess things up in a round trip.
If the logo was Placed in InDesign (rather than pasted in), I don't think there's much the printer can do to it directly - the changes were probably ID-specific, on top of the linked logo.
In any case, I would export the modified InDesign page to PDF, open the PDF in Illustrator and then try to use whatever I find there to modify my original logo art.

I want to open excel spread sheets make additions and export back to pc users. Is numbers suitable for this activity?

I want to open excel spread sheets make additions and export back to pc users. Is numbers suitable for this activity? I am using a MACBook Air

just read this in an other answer:
Pages can open docx files, Numbers can open xlsx files. Each can export to can export .doc or .xls to the newest Word or Excel format.respectvely, but not to the more recent .docx or .xlsx.
Translation is not perfect in either direction. Numbers and Excel handle some similar features (eg. pop-up menus vs data validation) differently, and the translator cannot translate from one implementation to the other.
If much of your work is going to be transferred between your machine and Windows machines running either MS Excel or MS Word, with editing taking place at both ends of the tunnel, then you'll probably be better off with Office, or one of the Office clones on the Mac end.

How can I export an Adobe illustrator CC .AI file to a DWG or DXF file suitable for SolidWorks?

Hi
Can anyone help?
How can I export an Adobe illustrator CC .AI file to a DWG or DXF file, without SolidWorks enlarging the file & converting every curve into hundreds of short little straight lines rather than a single continuous line/s.
I have made sure the file is ungrouped or has any compound paths or colours.
Opening it in Autocad 2010 still converts the DWG file into hundreds of short little straight lines!
The file is needed to laser cut out an aluminium shape using SolidWorks 2008 (Metal soft)?
Formats they can handle are:
DWG, DXF, IGES, IGA
There must be a way to export it without re-drawing the whole design in Soildworks again!!??
Can anyone help?

Not really. This is a limitation you will have to live with. Unless you are extremely careful, most paths will be converted to polyline segments by AI and in particular in AI CC this is somehow busted, so it happens more often. You might have much more luck opening a native AI file in DraftSight or a 2D CAD program like TurboCAD and exporting a DWG or 2D IGES/ STEP file from there. The sizing issue is a different matter, but without knowing what units you actualyl used, nobody can advise.

How best to export back to video camera dv tape?

I know iMovie no longer has the export back to tape option in 09 version. But, there must be a good way to do it anyway? Does 09 allow me to export to DV (MyMovie.dv)? If so, then I guess I could take that exported file and import it into my old iMovie 6, and then export from there back to a DV tape via firewire. If someone knows a better way, the let me know.
Thanks

You can avoid all video editors by using an app called SimpleVideoOutX:
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/samplecode/SimpleVideoOut/Introduction/In tro.html
Just download the SampleCode archive, extract the archive and look for SimpleVideoOut X.app. Just drop the video on the app icon to launch the app.
It has been around for MANY years, but not well known. This is a free app created to do exactly what you want. Caveat is, to go to DV, the video file can NOT be higher than DV resolution, or the screen with just show black on the DV camera. But it will work with any SD, or lower, resolution video file that Quicktime will play back. I have watched many videos on my TV this way, and it is MUCH cheaper than an Apple TV, with out the format issues.
You can select DVCPRO HD, Digital Cinema Desktop and FireWire as the output options. For DV, select Output=Firewire, and Mode=Apple FireWire NTSC.
There are a couple other option available at the bottom right of screen to play with, but generally, the defaults work for the majority of cases.
For extensive detail on its use, check this article:

Importing/placing pdfs and exporting back to pdf

If a client sends me a pdf in which i need to add printer marks or crop slightly, or convert a spot to process or whatever I usually place the pdf file into a new ID CS3 file, make my changes and then export back out to pdf using my pdf preset. My question is, is this a good practice and can the original pdf lose any quality either in contone images or type/lineart after doing so? In my pdf preset I have compression set to none, save to Acrobat 4 (PDF1.3). Thanks.
-Mark

Images in PDFs are usually downsampled and compressed as JPEG. JPEG compression destroys image data. If you place a PDF then save as a PDF then you are effectively adding destruction to image data, unless you use Zip or None compression. However, in the case of press quality PDFs that damage is miniscule and likely does no visible harm.
Have you tried making these changes to the PDF directly using Acrobat Pro? With Acrobat you con convert spot colours to process and add printer marks.

Import QTVR Files into Corel Painter 11 and export back out to QTVR?

I received a QTVR File and imported it successfully to corel painter 11 to paint some changes into the frames and I then wanted to export the frames (512 total) back to the QTVR format. Corl painter 11 allowed me to export files as QT, but I did lose the QTVR movie controller. When I tried to go to movie properties in QT pro Version 7 it does not allow me to change the movie properties back to QTVR movie controller. Anyone have any suggestions? I do need to be able to paint in the frames in a digital paint program and then export back out.
Thanks,

Adobe Illustrator Draw will not export to desktop Illustrator with the photo layer turned on.

Adobe Illustrator Draw will not export to desktop Illustrator with the photo layer turned on. This severely strains my workflow and makes it incredibly hard to add the image after it is exported to the desktop Illustrator. Is this being fixed??

This is a new bug in our latest release, and we apologize for not catching it before it went out. We are putting together a patch to address the issue. The only workaround at this point is to delete the photo and then send to Illustrator again.
Thank you,

Illlustrator CC can't save back to Illustrator 3...

I have a file that was created sometime ago (Illustrator CS5-ish). I am able to open the file in CC just fine. I open the file and then:
convert all of the type to outlines
delete a background box that contains a gradient (no other gradients exist)
flatten the file so it only contains one layer
delete unused panel items
make sure all strokes are converted to outlines
Double-checking the file I make sure there are no stray text paths.
When I save back to Illustrator 3, I get the usual warning about saving to a legacy version. To test the file I try to reopen the file with CC at which point I receive the error:
Offending operator: {ps_metadata_stream}
Context: Çªè
When I go back through the entire process and try to save the file to Illustrator 8, upon opening the file I receive the error:
Offending operator: {ps_metadata_stream}
Context: ı©7
It wasn't until I ungrouped everything (5 nested groups) and then tried to save the file to versions 3 and 8 that it actually allowed me to open the files again. The only reason I thought to try and remove the groups was because I was trying to remember what current features were actually supported in version 3 (not a lot of them); that's been a really long time ago.
Apparently Illustrator CC doesn't dilligently reduce files for compatibility. I had to save to this older version for sending to one of my clients who uses a cad software (SolidWorks) for importing the graphics into models.
Hope this helps someone.

Thanks Raghuveer,
I received your e-mail and am uploading the files presently.
When trying to replicate my results, (thought I had documented everything), I didn't get them at first when trying to save the files out for you. Then I noticed what was happening....
When I use "Save As Copy" with this particular file, upon reopening the newly saved file I get no error.
When I use "Save As" and save the file in the Versions 3 or 8 format, I then get the error upon reopening.
It appears that groups have nothing to do with it.

Getting darkened/ washed out colors when exporting png from illustrator

Hey everyone I'm trying to figure out a remedy for this, I am getting darkened less saturated colors when exporting a logo png from illustrator, jpeg's looke fine, even when copying this logo into indesign and exporting the colors look fine there as well. I think it has something to do with the icc profile being embeded in jpegs but not pngs, but I'm not sure. My illustrator document is set to display blacks accurately, document color mode is set to RGB, assign profile is set to working RGB: sRGB, and under color settings working space is sRGB and cymk is U.S. Web Coated SWOP v2, color management policys off for RGB and conversion options Adobe ACE (all under the color settings options). I've also tried to create a new file for web and copy and pasted my logo and tried to export that way and it didn't do anything. Any jpeg will look fine, the png even in save for web will look fine until I export or preview. My only current remedy for png at this point is to export it as is, then open it in Mac's Preview and turn up the saturation. Any help would be appreciated, I'm also using Illustrator CC and am on mac 10.7.5, thanks.

Any other solutions? I notice if I open the AI file in photoshop and export the png from there with "embed icc profile" checked then I get the same colors that I see while in illustrator, and when I export jpegs from illustrator, but exporting pngs from illustrator always changes the color/ makes the colors look duller.

Media Offline when Exporting back to FCP from STP. Lesson 10 in APTS book.

Hello, I am going through the Apple Pro Training Series Book by Martin Sitter found a road block in Lesson 10. The topic is conforming at that seems to work decently (except for garbled text in the right side of the Conform tab). My issue is when trying to export back to FCP. I choose to Send Files to FCP sequence. A new sequence is created in the selected project as expected. The audio is fine, but instead of using the video from the correct sequence, it seems to be trying to use clips from the older sequence. Additionally, all the video clips show up as Media Offline. I can reconnect media, but the problem is that it is the wrong video sequence. Oddly, in STP the video looks perfect. Is there an error in the metadata? can this be fixed or prevented? Thank you

Barreltone,
I am exporting back into Final Cut Pro via Send to Sequence. I have been exporting from the browser of FCP (sequence), and not the timeline (clips). I'm going to try that tactic, and see if that works.

Cannot export path to illustrator

I am using CS3 and am trying to export a path to an illustrator file. I started with an 8bit black and white image and made a path from a selection. When I go to File > Export the export option is greyed out and not selectable. Any ideas on how I can open this option? I have tried to use Save as to save the file as a .psd prior to export but the only options it gives me is a .tiff and a .raw.

At least for me in cs3, the export menu or the export paths to illustrator option
is never greyed out (when an image is open), even when there aren't any paths in the image.
So your problem is probably something else. Did you try resetting the photoshop
cs3 preferences?
This is what i get when using export paths to illustrator on an image that doesn't have any paths.
