Freehand drawing and lettering in CS2

Hi, I'm novice-to-intermediate in Illustrator and have CS2 on my Mac. Is there a tablet or system someone can recommend that's good for hand drawing and lettering in Illustrator? I'd like to be able to letter and makes shapes, plus create illustrations that I'd then add color to.
Thanks!

    ATR,
    Did you watch the Adobe TV video tutorial that I post earlier on here
    "Save Time with Powerful Background Rendering Using Media Encoder"?
    Yes. I am familiar with that AdobeTV tutorial. Unfortunately, the term used, "render," is a holdover from After Effects. If you listen to the early part, and observe the choice to send the Timeline's Sequence(s) to AME, you will see that the choice is "Export." This "background rendering" is NOT the Rendering of the Timeline's Sequence(s) for smoothest playback (hitting the Enter/Return key). It is for Export/Publish+Share, or outputting a file from the Timeline's Sequence(s).
    As I mentioned in my previous Reply, there ARE some additional benefits to using AME w/ MPE/CUDA with certain media, and Effects. Note the mention of the nVidia Quadro cards for maximum quality, with little slowdown, regardless of the pop-up warning.
    Where AME comes into play, with PrPro, is that while it is outputting (Exporting/Publishing+Sharing) the file, PrPro is still active for additional editing. With an overnight output, there is no need to do other editing, as the computer is only involved in one operation - outputting the Timeline's Sequence(s).
    Also, as noted in the tutorial, one can load AME's queue with the required Sequence(s), and then do multiple output files, to different formats/CODEC's, all in one operation. That is useful, where one needs to deliver several variations of the same Sequence - something that PrE cannot do - it's one format/setting, at a time.
    Hope that this clarifies what AME is being used for, and what it's doing. The potential for confusion on "Rendering" vs "rendering" is obvious. As "Rendering" is a term used in Premiere (both Pro & Elements), for creating files (proxy files, if you will) for smoothest playback of a Timeline/Sequence, to use the term "rendering," from After Effects (and some other common NLE programs), is probably not the ultimate choice here.

  • I need to open and use a DFX file in Illustrator CS6 only displaying digits and letters

    I need to open and use a DFX file in Illustrator CS6 but it is only displaying digits and letters as opposed to fashion patterns. I believe the original file was  created in Gerber

    Thank you.
    I will see if I can access/download a CS2 version. Thats a kind offer, I will see how I go with the download first, as I will be needing to open several files over the next few weeks.

  • Freehand drawing

    How do I change the weight and color in freehand?

    After you've drawn the line and tapped "save" to save the shape, you will be sent back to the scrolling document view. You can now tap the freehand drawing to select it, and a context menu will pop up that includes options to change the line weight, color, and opacity.

  • HT5886 Switch Control "freehand drawing"?

    "Use any of several methods to perform actions such as selecting, tapping, dragging, typing, and even freehand drawing."  How can switch controls be used for freehand drawing?

    Hi Hermant0010
    We have seen this behaviour too and we are trying to track down what causes it to occur. (I manage a number of idevices for use with persons with tetraplegia - hence my keen interest in switch control)
    What switch devices are you using? I see you have two switches attached?
    Also you are using an iphone with iOS7. We have upgraded to 8.
    I am not sure how we get this case out of the iPod section - maybe start a new one in an iOS stream?

  • Adobe reader freehand drawing function

    How do you change the color of the pen when making notes on PDFs on the iPad?

    Hi,
    After crearting thr freehand hand drawing, please tap on save which is present on top right corner.
    After saving the free hand, tap on it(freehand drawing). A context menu will appear. Tap on "Color...". It will show you a list of colors. Tap on the color you want and that will change the color of the free hand drawing you created.
    Thanks,

  • Freehand drawing tool - how to exit

    Hi all, first post.
    using the top menu for and selecting the icon for freehand, I see the cancel and save buttons on top, so it is obvious how to exit.
    but I used the tap hold to get a pop-up menu which has "Note Text Freehand Signature" choices. 
    and once I got into the freehand drawing mode via the pop-up menu I cannot get out!
    I cannot figure how to get out of drawing mode. everything I do just produces more lines or dots on the document, and I cannot stop quick cancel save or exit.
    I tried all gestures I could think of, tap, hold, double tap, two fingers, nothing seems to work!
    what am I doing wrong?
    I managed to get out by opening another docuemnt in Reader, then tap to get top bar, then "document" and got back to the original document by selecting it, but I dare not try the "drawing" pop-up again!!!
    this is on iPad 3

    I also have an iPad 3.
    When I bring up the contextual menu by clicking, and select "Freehand," I get the same Save and Cancel buttons on the top.
    You might want to reset your copy of Adobe Reader by force quitting it. Normally, an app stays in memory even though you've moved to another app. To force quit it, try this:
    Click the Home button to return to the main screen. Double-click the Home button to show the list recent apps. Click and hold down the icon of the Reader app. You'll see red "delete" buttons appear. Click the delete button, and the Reader app will disappear from the row of apps.
    Re-open Reader, and try again.

    Hello, I use MAC AIR OSX 10.6.8 and have Adobe CS2, that I was using 2 years ago on my older computer. I stopped using it because it would close down in the middle of work. Now I would like to reinstall it on the MacAir but I can not get it working. It tells Adobe doesnT support my System. But I can not update my old version or activate it. What can I do?

    The mac you want to install photoshop cs2 on is running mac os x 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?
    (photoshop cs2 won't run on intel macs with mac os x newer than snow leopard)
    Did you ever have cs2 installed on this particular computer before?
    If the problem is that you already installed cs2, but it won't activate, that's because adobe took the activation servers offline for some older adobe products such as cs2.
    You'll need to use the non activation version of cs2 from here and the supplied serial number:
    Activation server shut down for Creative Suite 2, Acrobat 7, and Macromedia products

    Check that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode or with a reduced screen resolution.
    You can check that in the "Compatibility" tab in the Properties via the right-click context menu of the Firefox desktop shortcut.<br />
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.

    Hi gretchenm66156293,
    Are you running into this issue with one PDF in particular, or with any PDF that you open? Did the PDF display correctly previously? How was that PDF created?
    For starters, please choose File > Properties and click the Fonts tab. What fonts are used in the PDF? Are they "embedded" or "subsetted."
    I would be happy to take a look at the PDF here, if you'd like. Let me know!
    Best,

  • Document search, search for documents and letters

    CRM 5.0 - ICWC
    In a serviceticket in the business context there are a few files, documents, emails and letters.
    Documents -> uploaded manualy
    Emails -> created after reply or new email
    Letter -> Created by merge-documents
    In the menu 'Document Search' you can search for all attached documents which belongs to the serviceticket. However, only the document types are found.
    Anyone some tips how to add the option to find the letter documents?

    Hi Adil,
    #1. Per my knowledge, anonymous access cannot be granted at item level.
    If we need to allow anonymous access to items or documents in the lists or libraries, the anonymous access should be granted at list/library level.
    #2. To exclude the list items and documents from libraries, I recommend to create search scope to exclude those contents.
    Remember to select Exclude as the Behavior in the search scope.
    More information about search scopes for your references:

  • I am having a problem where pdf files on the web (i.e., links in a Word doc) open after an extended time and only as gobbldygook ( a file containing a series of characters and letters that make no sense).  This also happens for another Mac user coworker

    Hi There:  I am having a problem where pdf files on the web (i.e., links in a Word doc) open after an extended time and only as gobbldygook ( a file containing a series of characters and letters that make no sense).  This also happens for another Mac user coworker in my office, while the PCs don't have this problem...  Any help/suggestions for a fix would be most appreciated! 

    Just adding more info - MacBookPro running 10.5.8 and using Safari as the browser.  The problem comes and goes - sometimes the linked Word files will open OK, n others its just a strring of crazy characters...
