Exporting out of Illustrator

I've created a 300 x 250 pixel document (72 dpi) in Illustrator. It is for an email newsletter ad where they require a Jpg no larger than 20k. When I convert it to jpeg (via export option), the resulting file opens in Photoshop, and is 1252 x 1044 pixels, 300 dpi, 3.74 MB.
Why does exporting the file change its original dimensions set in Illustrator?
If I then scale that Photoshop file back down to 300 x 250 pixels, it looks terrible. The type is blurry.
How can I maintain a clean, crisp image?

I tried to duplicate your first results and could not I found by selecting web document it is the best way to do this from the beginning my only thought on what might be happening is that if you start with a print document it sets by defaut the raster image effects at of all things 300ppi.
So it might be changing the output to 300 ppi even if you do not use raster image effects.
In the New Document dialog if you expand the dialog where it says advance you can change that setting from the outset to 72 ppi which is what you need it to be.
I personally think that if you are exporting to a jpeg it might warn you of this setting although a lot of print people would complain that they are losing valuable tie with such a warning popping up al the time even though they are not like to choose jpeg as a file format.
I am not certain that is the cause of the problem as I make a web document if I am working for the web and print if I am working for print.

Exporting layers out of Illustrator into InDesign

Is there a way to export a file with layers out of Illustrator and import/place into InDesign and still retain the layers???

Literal translation of layers between the two apps is impossible. Illustrator layers and InDesign layers are built differently.
It's fairly easy to get InDesign layers into Illustrator. Export PDF, with Create Adobe Layers enabled (must be Acrobat 6 compatible or higher), then open the PDF in Illustrator.
However you can always have complications opening PDFs with Illustrator. For example you may experience text editing issues, or color space issues.
You asked about AI layers to InDesign layers. You could save the AI layers out as separate files, then bring those into InDesign and place them in layers with corresponding names. Something like this may be scriptable. Even so, the layer construct is very different. For example, you can have layer effects in Illustrator, but not in InDesign. You also have sub layers in Illustrator, but not in InDesign.
Hope this helps.

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.

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?
INCA

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.

Drawing in flash and exporting files to illustrator

I use to be able to draw or tweak drawings in Flash and then export them as a postscript or swf file so that I could keep editing them in Illustrator. These features seem to be missing and I don't understand why. Surely these are features that were used by other users. So the print image feature is gone in Flash and that was where I could contain my vector drawing as a postscript or PDF and now I can't do that any more. In Illustrator I use to be able to open up .swf files and I can't do that anymore. Is there a go around? Why take such a good thing away that is so useful to artists and designers?

Hi All,
Flash Pro CC 2014 (v14.0.0.110) is now available for download via the Creative Cloud App and Adobe website.
We have added SVG Export feature to Flash Pro with this new release. You will now be able to export out vector content from the selected frame as an SVG image that can be opened directly in a Browser and even imported in Adobe Illustrator.
SVG Export option can be accessed via the Publish Settings as well as via File Menu > Export > Export Image option.
Along with this, we have added several new features with this release. Complete list is available at these links:

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,

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.

ProRes 422 (HQ) QT Export out of FCP getting error on re-import

The quicktime exports I'm producing out of my FCP system need renders when I drag them back into the project, into a seq. with the same exact settings they had on export. Even if I drag my export into the same sequence it was exported from!
I'm trying to export a self-contained QT with current settings from a Pro Res 422 (HQ) 1920 x 1080 50i Sequence .
On creating a new sequence, I select the sequence preset Apple Pro Res 422 HQ 1920x1080 50i, then cut in the media-- the media is a 90 min Pro Res 422 HQ quicktime from an online house, also 108050i.
Predictably, no render required. The frame rate, frame size, pixel shape, field, codec match between the media and the sequence.
However, if I export out of that sequence (using File – Export Quicktime; Self-Contained, Current Settings), then re-import the Quicktime and put it back in that same sequence or another new sequence with the same preset settings, it needs picture render. This is only if my export selection from the sequence is at least a few minutes long. If I set an in and an out for a :30 sec selection and export that quicktime, I can play that back in the sequence with no render.
The fact that there's some difference between a 90 minute export from my computer and a 30 second export from my computer could be a clue.
Additional info-- I have tried creating a new sequence with the wrong settings preset to get the FCP prompt "would you like to conform the sequence settings to match the file?" Then I click yes to conform settings and my quicktime export goes into the sequence-- with a red render bar. But if I then cut in the Pro Res HQ QT from the post house it will not need a render. These two QTs appear identical when I compare their item properties in FCP. On playback, in the viewer window, my export will appear a little stuttery.
Can anyone tell me what this means and if I can export a quicktime that does not need to be rendered to be played back in FCP?
Many many thanks!
I'm running FCP 6.0.5 on a 2 x 2 GHz Quad Core with 11 GB Ram. Mac OS 10.5.6. I have media running off of 2 external drives, connected via eSATA. Drive Speed on the externals-- need to double check.

The Error I referred to in the title -- I am getting the message "clip settings do not match any sequence presets" when I try to cut my export into a sequence. Seems bizarre because it just came out of a sequence preset, not a custom sequence, using "current settings."

OMF won't export out of final cut pro.

Final cut 6.0.6
Have deadline. Didn't see it on any forum. Help!! Thanks!!

Seems like a weird thing to not be able to do since it's called final cut PRO...
Bagging on Final Cut Pro for OMF? HA! OMF has been around LONG BEFORE FCP was introduced. It isn't an FCP issue...OMF technology is VERY old. Over 20 years I believe. I used it on Avid...and it always had a 20GB limit.
You cannot deliver 1 track via OMF. You can ask the audio person. I know that Avid now allows you to export an AAF...but FCP doesn't do AAF. For embedded audio I think that OMF is the only way. SO you have to work within the limitations of that format.

How to export out the date into the csv file?

Hi, I had been trying to export out the value of the date to csv file.
This is the script:

Export out of DRM/Import into PeopleSoft

Hello,
Do any of you have experience creating an export out of DRM to go into the PeopleSoft system to create trees? The PeopleSoft system has a Tree Import; however a file needs to be in a certain format for the Import to work. I wasn't sure if DRM was capable of creating a file in the correct format that PeopleSoft needs or if DRM should just export it's tree data and let the formatting be done by a different tool (ETL, App Designer, etc.). We are on version 11.1.1.2.103.
Below is a high-level example of what the Tree Import file should look like. The 999 lines would be the header lines, and each of the lines underneath the header has a different format (which is fixed-length).
999TREE_VERSION
Tree Version Data
999TREE_STRCT
Tree Structure Data
999TREE_DEFN
Tree Definition Data
999TREE_USERLVL
Tree Level Data 1
Tree Level Data 2
Tree Level Data
999TREE_LEVEL
Tree Level 1
Tree Level 2
Tree Level N
999TREE_USERND
Tree Node Data 1
Tree Node Data 2
Tree Node Data N
999TREE_NODE
Tree Node 1
Tree Node 2
Tree Detail 1
Tree Detail 2
Tree Node 3
Tree Node 4
Tree Node N
Tree Detail 5
Tree Detail N
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

how much i understand below are some points:
1- for tree format can be used DRM Export option tabbed output(Export-Style-Tabbed output).
2- For fix length attribute could possible to use Export- Target-Fixed width
you need to do some workaround to generate file as per peoplesoft requirement. Like Different -2 exports as per 999* header lines to meet requirement , hard code header if needed , club all exports in Book to generate one single file.
Please explain more on file format so that can try to help you better.
Thanks!

When exporting out of lightroom the color of my picture channges significantly

I use windows 8 and tried exporting out of lightroom through firefox and this did not help either

Hi Shmuglak. Thank you for the information. I tried those things but did not work.    I just got windows 8 and just downloaded photoshop CC and Lightroom from the cloud.   My settings in Lightroom under preferences are :   Under jpeg preview it is checked on fast load data.   Under external editing the color space is prophoto.   Under additional external editor it is set to preset (Custom). Under Default Develop Settings the only thing checked is apply auto mix when first converting to BW.   Under export module:   Location:   set to same as original folder and no check mark on add to catalog.   Under Post Processing I have tried do nothing and tried firefox.
It is funny that when I export a picture from lightroom using firefox that picture pops for preview and the picture looks fine but then when I go to my email and try to email that same picture and use send with a file attachment the picture looks aweful on my desktop but when looking at it on the ipad or iphone the picture looks fine.
Any other suggestions would be great
thank you

I don't know if this is your case but I have a similar problem (and has been helped out by some kind soul on this forum). The change of color may happen if you are re-importing the exported pictures into the Lightroom catalog. If this is what you are doing, some import presets may be applied and this may cause the color change. I'm talking about this setting, sheck if it is enabled. If it is, disable it and see if it helps.

Why are my photos desaturated when I export out of Lightroom 5 and editing with VSCO Film filters?

I have been excited working with VSCO Film presets, however when I apply them and go to export out of Lightroom 5 on my Windows 8 computer, my images are previewing very desaturated and muted in color. Some images are below. I thought it was a Color SPace issue, but when exported as sRGB as well as in its original space of Adobe RGB1998 it is still desaturated. Any help?? In Lightroom the colors are right, but my preview application is different.
Thank you!

Screenshot of Lightroom preview on Left and Pictures preview on the Right.

Hi ssprengel,
Here's some clarification:
Here's a screenshot of my raw image in lightroom without any presets:
Here is a screenshot of my raw image with the presets (the way I want it to look upon export):
Here is a of the jpeg exported out of LR:
(on my screen the jpg looks like what it should when I attach it, but I know once I post this it will not look like it. That's something I noticed when I posted my question previously)
I took you suggestion and re-imported the sRGB exported JPEG and it looks like how it is supposed to be with the correct saturation. Here's a screenshot of the jpeg reimported.
Here is a screenshot comparing the LR5 preview to the Photos preview on Windows 8. The LR5 (left) is more saturated, the correct way I want it:
I cannot use Windows Photo Viewer because this is how my photos look like in it:
Hope this all makes sense! Thank you so much in advance!

Question on exporting out to DV/DVCPRO - NTSC

I am trying to conform footage to my Easy Setup in Final Cut Pro and for some reason, it won't. My Easy Setup is based on the DV/DVCPRO - NTSC setup with the aspect ratio being 720x480. When I export the footage out, it gives me 720x480 (640x480). That's fine.
So I switch it to NTSC 720x480 4:3 and it still exports out as 640x480.
I try the custom option and type in 720x480 and it still exports out as 720x480.
What am I doing wrong? Is it trying to conform the aspect ratio to what the original video size is? Thanks.

What am I doing wrong? Is it trying to conform the aspect ratio to what the original video size is?
You are confusing the rectangular pixel encoding matrix (720x480) with the square pixel display dimensions (640x480). You must remember that DV was historically developed as a broadcast compression format to more closely reflect the rectangular pixel presentation of older CRT televisions having 720x480 rectangular pixels to display the equivalent of a 640x480 square pixel image.
So I switch it to NTSC 720x480 4:3 and it still exports out as 640x480.
I'm not quite sure what you saying you want to do here. If you were to display 720x480 rectangular pixels on a square pixel device (e.g., a computer monitor, HDTV, etc.), then at 720x480 square pixels the image would look somewhat squat with people and objects looking shorter and fatter than they should be because you have changed the aspect ratio from 4:3 (640x480) to 720x480 which would then have an actual square pixel aspect ratio of 1.5:1 (or 3:2) rather than 4:3.
As an aside, a 16:9 anamorphic DV file would also encode to the same 720x480 data matrix but (as long as the flag is not lost) actually play back at either 640x360 or approximately 853.3x480 depending on the application in use and you would see an entry of 720x480 (853x480) or 720x480 (640x360) on the player Inspector or Info window.
So, unless you are saying that your file has lost its anamorphic value (which can happen in some workflows), it sounds as if everything is working correctly.
