Extrude text help please

OS X / IIlustrator, I'm trying to recreate the extrude text in the attached , I'm having a bit of trouble in certin areas. These are the steps I have done so far
select text - white fill / black stroke
copy text / move down / transform / reflect
first problem, need to have a gradient from filler to zero opacity. Tried adding a rectangle, placing over bottom text, select gradient 12 to 6 black to white. ( I cannot get the gradient to slowly go to zero opacity ) How do I do this?

What version of AI are you using?
Transparent Gradient Stops are possible in CS4, but only that version. If you are using an older version of AI, you'll need to create opacity masks to get a gradient to fade to transparent.
As Mylenium posted, a basic blends may provide some of the basic extrude values. Or there's always the 3D effect as well. If you use the 3D effect, it's often easiest to not apply a stroke to the object first, since the stroke color will determine the extrude color. And in the "More Options" you should probably choose "No Shading" in order to get solid shapes for the extrude objects. Otherwise you'll get a great many smaller shapes to compensate for the shading. Then use Object > Expand Appearance and fill with gradients.

    Hi
    I was told its a big that is being fixed. In the mean time to clear this delay out (that builds over time after alot of sms). Backup your DRM activation keys, contacts using PC suite (PC suite phone memory backup that backups phones ROM). Then do *#7370#. You will have to then re-install any SISX appplications you bought though, re-synch contactsetc

  • At the end of my IMovie I want to write some text: as in" Happy Birthday Mandy we had a great time with you. etc..  How do I go about this? Which icon in IMovie lets me have a place to write text?? help please

    Please see my ? above: Im making an IMovie and need the last frame to just be text (can be on a color). I don't know how to go about doing this.  Ive already done all my photos and captions. Need to have it ready for TOMORROW: Friday May 23rd. Help please!

    You can choose a background for the text from Maps and Backgrounds.  Just drag a background to the end of the timeline, adjust to desired duration then drag title above it.

  • I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it. help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks

    I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it.
    Is it not possible to create a text box, fill it with dynamic (data driven) text, but make the font size either scale up or down automatically, so that the entire text box is filled? This is a feature in PrintShop Mail Pro called COPY FIT. but no such feature in Indesign??
    help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks, DJ

    lol... it seems to work, but I have another huge problem!
    Apparently .CSV files cannot contain page breaks in the data! The data I am trying to merge is a 'letter', with paragraphs, line breaks, etc.,
    But, after data merging, it ignores page breaks and only merges the first paragraph of each letter. (sigh)
    Solution? Hopefully, an EASY solution. lol as we have thousands of records.
    Is there a third party indesign plugin that will allow .xml, or .xls data merge import??
    Thx,
    DJ

    It's a bug striking in long documents.
    Select a word somewhere higher in the page then use the arrows to reach the wanted insertion point.

  • Help Please - having difficulties creating af link from the text to an attached file i acrobat

    I have been reading the help, but it just wonn't work when I try.
    I have tried as followed (I am working with a danish version, and hope to matched the same word as in the english version of Acrobat Xpro):
    1. From the toolbox i choose content and then 'hyperlink'
    2. I mark the text from which i wish to make a link
    3. Acrobat respond with an popup picture 'create a link'
    4. From the popup I mark 'Open a side' and push 'next'
    5. Acrobat respond with a new popup picture 'create / go to a side'
    6. I go to the navigator and open the list with attached file's that I have embedded in my acrobat file.
    7. I mark the to which i wish to make a link to
    8. In the popup 'create / go to a side' that stilll is open, i push 'Mark hyperlink'
    Then I hoped that I have created a link from the acrobat text to the attached file. In stead Acrobat has made a link to the same sidenumber that respond to the text from which i wish to make a link . F.ex. the linktext is on side 10 - then the link goes to side 10.
    How do i do it right?
    Please help.

    Hello Bernd
    Thanks for a quick respond.
    This corresponds to the text I have tried myself, but apparently I do something wrong
    1.      Open a PDF that contains a PDF file attachment – done
    2.      Go to where you want to create a link. If that location is in the file attachment, click the Attachments button in the navigation pane, select the file attachment, and click open.
    Here I go to side number 10 from which I wish to make a link from (I am not open the attachment file at this moment, as the location not is inside the file attachment).
    (I earlier also tried to  mark the attachment file and click open, and It result that the attached file just opened normally without creating a link to the file).
    3.      Choose Tools > Content > link, and select the area for the link
    Here  I mark the text on side 10 from which I wish to make a link to a attached file
    4.      In the Create Link dialog box, set the link appearance, select Go To A Page View, and then click Next
    Here I have selected ‘Go to a page view’ as told and I click Next
    5.      Set the page number and view magnification you want, either in the parent PDF document or in the file attachment, and then click set link.
    Here I go to the navigation pane and mark the attached file from the file list (the files in the list hasn’t any side number in the list) and then I click Set Link.
    Then I hoped that I have created a link from the acrobat text to the attached file. In stead Acrobat has made a link to the same sidenumber that respond to the text from which i wish to make a link . F.ex. the linktext is on side 10 - then the link goes to side 10.
    What do I do wrong.?

  • Frames w/Text-like u can do in Windows Movie maker- Help Please

    not referring to Titles. I want fames with text in them, sentences and short paragraphs. I was on this forum until 2:30 am trying to find similar and only 1, referring to typewriter that is in wmm they said on the old HDimovie download which isn't availabe and was 2006 anyway.
    Where is the feature? How do I do it like in Windows Movie Maker
    Also- how do I add portions of letters to videos, cut them out in paintshop save them a jpeg and upload as pic to insert into movie and make the viewing time longer so people can read it.
    I need frames with just type , not just titles.
    HELP, please.
    Thank you

    I can't believe apple took it out to force you to buy FCE.
    downdloaded HD6, but it not importing movies already imported to iphoto 09 that then imported to imovie 09, the cutting, editing clips is easier in '09, and I can;t find video turials on 06, except to pay for, only pdf hard for me to read take in alot of type, brain shuts off, neuro problems and brain damage.
    just abbout had it with mac and which had sent it back in time, they said give me $500 to keep it, then didn't give that much, i think big mistake for me.
    i sitll tryin to hold on abit here, i just posted in iphoto as well, fed up with it, it got it for imovie'09 doesnt even ahve the features i need, they took them out, everything drag drop import here there and everywhere.

    Toggle iMessage Off then On
    Turning iMessage off then on again worked for my particular issue. You can do this by following these steps:
    From the Home screen, open “Settings“.
    Select “Messages“
    Slide “iMessages” to off for about 3 minutes, then turn it back on.
    Your iPhone will be re-registered and may clear up the duplicate text message notification problem.
    Repeat Alerts Setting
    There is a setting that repeats notifications which could cause this issue. Check it with these steps:
    From the Home screen, open “Settings“.
    Select “Notification Center“.
    Choose “Messages“.
    Ensure that the “Repeat Alerts” setting is set to “Once“.
    Send & Receive Setting
    Another setting that involves sending notifications to multiple numbers could be the issue as well. Check the following:
    From the Home screen, open “Settings“.
    Select “Messages“.
    Choose “Send & Receive“.
    Ensure that only your phone number is listed in the “You can be reached by iMessage at” area. If you have an email address or anything else listed, it could cause duplicate text messages.

  • I cannot view the family sharing invitation. My wife has sent it multiple times Via email and text yet I haven't had a notification, but when I attempt to send to her she receives the notification. Help please?

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

  • Can't create see through text! Help please

    I am very new to illustrator so please forgive me I am using CS4 on windows. I have followed all of the sugestions on this site (this is the exact effect that I am seeking!) and for the life of me none of it works.http://www.proficiografik.com/2010/02/08/building-a-hole-see-through-t ext-or-object-in-adobe-illustrator.html
    So I am in search of help.I've worked in one layer, have tried a layer  for the color box and another for the text, I have tried grouping the text box with the color box as well. I figure there is a step in the inital layout that I am missing, but I'm not sure. Help please!

    Lorranne,
    When you have all three objects in the right order you should see:
    A) The live Type (or outlined type) in black (san diego),
    B) The intermediate shape, partly covered by the Type (the blue rectangle),
    C) The image (the steely look).
    Is that what you see? I see that.
    If you select A) and B), by clicking or selecting in the Layers palette, what do you see in the Transparency palette?
    If you then tick Make Opacity Mask, what do you see in the Transparnecy palette (both Clip and Invert Mask should be unticked), and what do you see on the Artboard?
    Edit: Edited after seeing the video.
    By the way, it makes no difference whether the image is embedded (as you mention) or linked.
