Exporting to PNG from Adobe Illustrator cutting off edges

I created a 40px x 40px image in Adobe Illustrator CS4. I saved as an .ai file and then tried to export as a PNG.
Adobe Illustrator automatically crops the background and tightens the export to a rect around all the objects which if fine. In this case, I am not working edge to edge so my image is not quite 40px wide.
But, unfortunately, Illustrator is not exporting the entire image. I end up with an image that is 34px wide. Indeed, the icon I draw starts on the left hand side but the right edge of my object cut off.
Any ideas why this is happening? I can't imagine Illustrator CS4 can't correctly to export to PNG.

Can't necessarily explain the reason for the cutoff without knowing more, but you might be able to solve it by adding a 40 x 40 square with no fill or stroke and including it in the export.

Export from Adobe Illustrator to Wissen Castop Plus 99

Hello
We have a DGI Omega OM-130 Plotter. I can only find drivers to run this from Windows XP, using Wissen Castop Plus 99.
While this works for sending flies to plot, the software isn't up to much in making the artwork, so the machine is hard to use.
Ideally we need a way to export files from Adobe Illustrator (MAC) to Wissen Castop Plus 99 which uses WMP or WPF file types.
We have tried the CoCutPro2 plugin for Illustrator, but this only exports HPGL files and I've no idea what they are.
I'd also be open to non-obvious ideas for getting the plotter working with anything other than Win XP, even command line if it will plot any standard file type.
I'd also consider scripting in Illustrator.
thanks.

Whose file formats are WMP & WPF? Have never heard of these unless they are for Windows Media Player & Word Perfect Forms, which are not graphic formats.
What other file formats can Castop Plus 99 accept? Below is form their website.
Designed for compatibility, Wissen Castop Plus 99 includes import filters for 23 different file formats and as an OLE client, your jobs can contain links to work in other OLE server applications.
You should be able to import 23 different file formats. PDF would be great cause you can make a PDF from nay software and bring that into Castop. Does it come with Traceline, that is their software to convert bitmap to vector, so I would assume these WMP & WPF are vector formats.

Import Template from Adobe Illustrator CS4

Hi everyone,
I would like to import a template (a letterhead that i made) from Adobe Illustrator CS4 into Pages, which I use for writing documents. So far I had no success in doing so. The formats supported by Illustrator are png, bmp, dwg, dxf, emf, swf, jpg, pct, psd, tif, tga, txt and wmf. Furthermore there are Illustrator formats ai, ait and eps and fxg, pdf, svg and svgz.
I hope theres someone who can help me...

The advantage of a vector format (such as PDF) over a bitmapped format (such as PNG) is portability. Right now, for example, you might be using your letterhead to print to an inkjet printer. Some time in the future you may choose to have a professionally printed stationary printed using the same graphic and at that point the PNG file may not produce high quality output whereas the PDF would. Also, in many cases the PDF file not only creates higher quality output but also results in smaller file sizes.

I hope you won't see this as rude, but what you are missing is the obvious point that Adobe are in business to make money. So they put as little in Adobe Reader as they can, so people are motivated to buy stuff. Every development intended for Reader has severe limitations on feasibility and techniques for this reason; it's a huge (but very common) mistake to just develop for Acrobat and assume Reader will follow.

I created a magazine using a IDD template including bleeds. When I exported to make a PDF, it cut off part of the document when uploading for printing. When I incude bleeds, it makes the document too big for printing. I need help :)

Right, so to advise you we'd need to know the particulars of MagCloud's spec for your project; format, trim size, bleed, etc.
It's doubtful that anything happened "when uploading for printing," so long as you were uploading a PDF, as opposed to the native InDesign file. Did the PDF look right to you before uploading?

Can I export InDesign files to Adobe Illustrator for editing?

Can I export InDesign files to Adobe Illustrator for editing? I am not familiar with InDesign, but I am familiar with Illustrator. I have CS6. Hope someone can help. I have a large Orientation Booklet that needs updating and do not have the time to get tutored in InDesign.

No.
The closest you’ll get is a PDF and Illustrator is not a general purpose PDF editor.
Good luck.

Printing in Adobe Reader after exporting from InDesign gets cut-off

I have exported a few documents form InDesign to PDF. When I print the documents, some parts get cut off (top section or bottom section) but there is still room on the paper. I'ts like the printer decides not to print those sections. I am printing on 5x7inch paper and all my documents show their sizes as 5x7inches.

Turns out the issue was with Acrobat.

Exporting from Adobe Illustrator to AutoCad 2009

Hello,
I have been working for some time on wood moulding profiles made in Adobe Illustrator, exporting as a 2004 DWG, and inserting as a block in an AutoCad file. I have architects that may use these wood moulding profiles and I have had problems along the way in moving from one program to the other. I have over 500 of these so redrawing them in AutoCad is not a wanted answer really.
When I try to Insert the Illustrator DWG files I get an error message saying "The NLS files requred to convert text entites and symbol names cannot be found in your system". There is no text in these files, just line drawings. So thats ok.
But when I place the DWG file in AutoCad there is nothing there, or just points. Has anyone had any luck bringing an AI DWG file into AutoCad?
Thank you so much for any help.

Hi Annie,
Try saving your file to its simplest level that you can before exporting as a DXF. Save it with a new name (to preserve the original file), then flatten layers, outline text, get rid of hidden things. Then try exporting as a DXF. If they can open a DWG, then they should be able to open a DXF.
I used to use a program called CadMover by Kandu Software to move files between Illustrator and AutoCad. But with the newer versions of Illustrator and using the exporting options listed above I haven't needed it.
Good luck to you,
Danielle

Illustrator cutting off 2" when printing

Illustrator 9.0; WIN2000; HP Deskjet 722C -- Working on pages in Illustrator with photos & copy; the print copies have started coming out with about 2" cut off the bottom of the page; tried changing document setting to legal length but keeping content within the letter-size dimensions, hoping to "fool" the printer with a "longer" print area, but not to be. Any ideas about what's going on and how to remedy?
Tried to .pdf the file(s): First time I .pdf'd it, it printed correctly (with no cut-off); second time I printed it, some gremlin decided to change the fonts to Uzbekistanese or some such -- very strange graphic.... So -- .pdf gives back the complete printable page (still, why doesn't Illustrator?), but takes away my font choices; .pdf comes up with the Uzb font about four times out of five or six ...
Sure would be nice (!) if Adobe Illlustrator wouldn't decide to make changes to my print commands on its own ....
Many thanks for any help

A few things could go wonky and cause this problem (Illustrator being the most fussy of all the Adobe products when it comes to printing).
Artboard - Check to make sure your artboard includes all of your image, i know it's obvious but sometimes you can overlap the boarder if you have a very detailed image without noticing.
Print Paper Size - For some printers you need to set the paper size in the general tab of illustrator as well as in the "Printer" sections and the "Page Setup" section (these are the buttons under the display)
Check your display and if your image is being cut-off there then drag it around (inside the preview window) until it's centered. If all of it won't fit then use the scale options under the General section.
Let me know if all of that doesn't solve the problem, because it's always something small that i forget to do, when Illustrator is giving me printing problems.

Has Adobe/Sys cut off 20% of its most affluent market with Flash Ver10.3?

System - PC - Vista - Internet Explorer 8
US Census Data -21.05 % of the population is 55. The median maximum income occurs at age 57. The median maximum wealth occurs at age 65. The writer holds that Version 10.3 is not accessable nor is it safe to use for the majority of video viewers in this age bracket.
Credentials - 1957 CALTECH computer lab Burroughs 110 to 1995 - Member of Select Committee investigating software problems with the Space Station IT system.
3 Examples:
Of the 34 unit owners (approx 50 people) only the writer and one other person have a clue about the difficulties being encountered and the security gotcha involved in upgrading to Version 10.3.
Adobe Installation Instructions. "Installation may require admistrative access to your computer which is normally provided by your IT department." Around here that's me. I just quit.
10.3 requires operation outside the Protected Mode. That's a non starter. In order to avoid endless warning messages from Microsoft - MS Malware and Virus Protection has to be turned off. - Besides the vocabulary being out of range to the layman - defeating the PC security barrier to view a video which was viewed yesterday on Ver 9.X is unacceptable from a personal set of security standards.
Give Greybeards a chance to spend their money on your advertisers - Give us Ver 9X (I already looked - It's gone) or a FP Basic. -Don't ask us to operate in an unsecured environment.
PS My personal resolution was that it is unworkable - It has been uninstalled (less than 9 seconds.)
GreybeardIT

Thanks for the reply. It is heartwarming to find it is the nature of forums to try to help others. Thanks again. I refreshed my memory of the archieves by again downloading the now minus one version of the FP. As you pointed out it may not work with many sites. Correct . My judgement based on a limited number of trials on business websites, is that the Latest Ver. 10.3.X includes a block to any attempt to view the video with an earlier version.
I would like to reestablish for readers (hopefully including Adobe) the essence of the original question. Here is the flaw I am witnessing with my neighbors in in Adobe's marketing strategy.:
Adobe inserts ads before videos and in other places in the "viewing experience" and is rewarded by consumer clicks to Adobe ad buyers.
Flashy, colorful ads display more content, appeal to many of the senses. and result in more clicks and therefore more income for Adobe,
The latest version incorporates IT technology to the point that it is exceeding the ability of older consumers to learn or keep up with system administrator level knowledge in order to install and/or safely (think Active X) use the Adobe ad deliivery system. From personal knowledge of the many PC users in this affluent consumer condo community Adobe has cut them off from viewing all videos. In fact, it is at top of the TGIF Happy Hour on the Terrace chat list. Computer problems including warning messages, system lock and slowing to a stop, rank right after the latest organ recital.
It will take time, but I predict that the actual number of consumer clicks on Adobe video ads may decrease, reduce income, and, hopefully begin a rethink about Adobe's disconnect to the (wealthiest) 55-85 age generation
Meantime, I have the knowledge needed to block any traffic from the Adobe Server site unless I have a specific interest in connecting. Adobe Management - Are you listing? Recomend you review the last 100 titles on this Flash Player Forum
Thanks again

Printing window from Grab-always cuts off right side

I am wondering why Grab (Capture Window) captures the window perfectly, only to have it distorted when I go to print that window. Every time I use Grab for a window that I want to print, no matter what I do, the right side of the window (text/graphics) is cut off in the printing process.
Doesn't matter if I change Page Layout to Horizontal, the right side is never there in Print Preview. What is Grab intended for, if not to capture the whole window so someone can print it out? I don't get it.
I normally use the command, shift, 4, drag sequence which always works perfectly. So my question, is why is Grab there in my applications, if it doesn't do what I need it to do? I'm sure it has some good use that I am unaware of.
Can anyone tell me if I am doing something wrong with Grab? Thanks.

Hi, Jane. I have no idea why, but the same thing happens for me. A clumsy but effective workaround is to use the Save As... command in Grab, then open the resulting TIFF file in Preview, and print it from Preview instead of printing it from Grab.
Command-Shift-Option-4 has always worked so well for me that I think this is the first time I've ever opened Grab, and it may well be the last.

Issue with transferring from Adobe Illustrator Draw to Illustrator on the desktop

I am having trouble getting my Adobe Illustrator Draw files to Illustrator on the desktop.
Here is the error: "The file "Project-Drawing 1.draw" is in an unknown format and cannot be opened."
I have updated my Illustrator CC 2014 and signed in to my Adobe ID. It works fine going to Photoshop but not Illustrator. I want to take advantage of the vectors and layers so I need it to go to Illustrator.

This error message can occur if you have a mismatch of Adobe Draw and Illustrator CC. Double-check that you have the latest version of both. The latest version of Draw is 1.0.1, and the latest version of Illustrator is v18.1.1.
Hope that helps,
