From Illustrator vs 10, what is next product to go to?
I havebeen using this product for 10 years and I need something with more capabilities worling with print designs. Which is the next Adobe product: CS2, Indesign? I've lost track.
Thanks for the answer. I know 10 is antiquated, but its fairly simple and I'm used to it.
I'm just curious if I get cs5 is it going to be extremely difficult for me to learn
to use being its more advanced.

How to copy and paste the graphics from illustrator to MS word. What I tried is exporting in png with highest resolution and then inserting in to word. This loses a bit of resolution in comparison to direct copy and paste as EMF. But if I do a copy and paste, and then take a print of the document, all the graphs and text is printed upside down, flipped back.
Use the Pencil Tool

What is the best practices workflow from illustrator to flash in cs 6?
Hello- question from an illustrator to flash workflow n00b.
I'm creating a flash experience with animated characters.
I'm building my art assets in illustrator.
I've found it relatively easy & straightforward to import assets from illustrator into flash.
I can conveniently import my layers and symbols from illustrator as separate layers and symbols in flash and manipulate them.
However, let's say after import I want to change something with an asset using illustrator. For example, I have a character with facial features, including eyes. I want to change the eyes in illustrator and have those changes then be propogated in some way- automagically or manually- in flash.
What is the right way to do this? Are there best practices for being able to go back and forth between flash and illustrator?
Thank you!
~ saeThanks for the reply Suhas.
I guess the answer to my question is that there is no good way. In the photoshop/illustrator workflow, I can paste a document from illustrator into photoshop and then double-click it in photoshop to open it back up in illustrator and edit the original. I have seen posts on people doing this between Flash and Illustrator with the now-discontinued Flash Catalyst- a process that was apparently called round-tripping. Ideally, this is the functionality I'd like to have between Flash and Illustrator but I take it from your reply that the answer is 'Does not exist.'

Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later.
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model
Identifier 5,1 or later.

Have downloaded a .epub file from a third party publisher to my pc. Publisher advises that iTunes is needed to move the file to my iPad. iTunes installed on both pc and iPad. What's next?
Drag or copy the file into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder in your library (default location C:\Users\user_name\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media), or add it manually using File > Add File to Library ... If the file is compatible with iTunes it'll be added to your library and can then be synced with your iPad.

Best workflow for image (LOGO) from Illustrator to FCP?
Greetings to all. I am struggling with this -- I want to bring my company logo into FCP 5.1.4, FROM Illustrator to FCP. Easy enough? Not for me.. as I have two issues:
1. My imported image looks great in the viewer, but jaggies in the Canvas.
I understand that for DV NTSC 48k, my frame size is 720x480 -- but in another post, I read that it is best to export as 720x540, .tif (another person said 720x540 jpeg, because jpeg embeds sRGB proile -- but that will be part of question #2) -- the square pixel vs. 4:3 pixel issue...
My Illustrator image is all vector art, and all fonts are outlined before export. I am saving as high-res (300 dpi). I tried saving as tif, jpeg, pdf. I tried bringing the PDF into photoshop, and saving as a psd. I tried opening pdf. No matter what I tried, the image looked perfect in the viewer, but like doo in the canvas. A tif, file size 720x540, 300dpi looks correct in the viewer, but jaggie in the canvas.
YES, the green "render" bar was visible in the timeline -- of course, that must be the problem -- but then I rendered the still clip, and there was no difference. I made sure the render indicator in the timeline was "dark grey" -- but yet, the imported still image from illustrator looks jaggie and not good enough for production in the canvas.
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG HERE?
2. Color space -- regardless of the jaggies issues, my imported still image from illustrator is all washed out when imported.
Regardless of file type. Yes, file set to RGB. Yes, gamma set to 2.2 (also tried setting imported still gamma to defualt - "source" - no change)
My LCD display (mac book pro C2D 17") is calibrated, using a Spyder2. Gamma is set to 2.2. My print output from illustrator (saved as pdf x-1/a) ALWAYS prints as expected.
If I add a color correction filter, and juice up the saturation, I can try to make the still image look close, but this shouldn't be the case, YES?
My expectation is that a still image in illustrator or photoshop should look the same in FCP.
What kind of newbie error am I making? What am I missing?
Thank in advance for any guidance.

I have been sending jobs to print (magazine ads, web, general print) for ages, and my printed materials come in as expected -- that is, within a few % points of my display -- which is what we are expecting -- and also EXTREMELY close to proof prints, using a reasonably high-end inkjet printer, with correct paper profiles... that is to say, that although I am no expert in color management by any means, I have what I need so that what I see on screen is very close to what is printed on a local printer, or a million dollar press.
CAN I EXPECT to achieve anything close to this with video?
When you print something on paper, you get to see exactly what it will look like and that's exactly how your customers will see it too. With video, there are infinite variables affecting this such as incorrectly calibrated displays; cheap TV components; the difference between CRTs, LCDs and computer displays; the size / resolution of the display, etc. There are so many variables that it will look different on every screen. All we can do as content producers is calibrate to a common standard, achieved through a properly-calibrated broadcast monitor.
But if your film has a single use in mind, such as a trade show, it is better to ignore the above advice and use the display device it will end up on as the monitoring device, if you can.
I am not near my FCP machine right now, so I can't try the test -- but I will try to revert my display color profile to stock apple LCD, and see what this brings. I know that FCP has simply NOT looked correct to me on my machine.
What do the "big guns" who are using FCP and having to use pre-defined creative print elements, created in AI or Photoshop or whatever -- all color matched for print, what do you guys do when you need to integrate this into FCP?
ARE FCP editors using Apple's 1.8 gamma (I guess you must because FCP uses it regardless of your colorsync profile, per the above article). ???
I set it to Source and have had no problems because I create still images on the same machine with the default gamma of 1.8. I think what happened was you created the images in Photoshop with a colorsync profile of 2.2 on the monitor but perhaps a different profile embedded (if any). When you brought it into FCP, FCP automatically assumed it was created at a gamma of 1.8 and boosted to 2.2 but as the images was not created at 1.8, it was already very bright to begin with and so was boosted x2. That's my theory. -
Edge Animate CC 2014 pasting SVG's from Illustrator CC 2014 issues
I am working on an html5 interactive map in which only certain US States which have an active service area for this particular product will be a different color, with an interactive text box that will pop up on hover.
My background is a plain, gray, US map with all the state borders outlined in white copied from my Illustrator file. My plan was to add just the states with an active service area as a new layer on the Stage, after I make it red and copy it from Illustrator separately. However, after I do this successfully for the first 2 or 3 states, the next state I try to add, regardless of the actual state I choose next, or the name I give the incoming .svg image, fails to display within my .an file.
Please fix or help! This project should have already been completed, but I have wasted 3 or 4 versions in attempt to get these svg's to display as they should. If I have to go the route of saving each layer as a .png first, the project is going to take me 10 times longer than it should if this feature was working properly.
Thanks,
TroyHey Troy, apologies for the delay.
I just tried this and did not experience the issue you describe. I went through nine copy (Illustrator) and paste (Edge) process. Each came through successfully.
I don't suppose you are hitting a memory issue! I have 16gigs of Ram so I may be getting more use out of my upper memory allocation. I am also using the latest versions of both - is this your case as well.
If need be and you want to get all of the states separated as svg, individually, you may want to have to a look at this Illustrator script - Export Illustrator Layers to SVG files | Thomas Byrne

Text Copied from Illustrator CC 2014.1.0 Pastes as Image
I have seen similar discussions but none of the answers are of any help to me as of today.
Background:
I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10
All my CC apps are up to date as of (11/1/14)
I am also up to date on all other software on my Mac
My goal:
Copy text from illustrator
Paste in Mail, TextEdit, and Notes as live editable text
Results:
Text pastes as pdf or some type of an image depending on the app
What it looks like:
I'll start from the beginning to avoid some questions later.
I open a new document in Illustrator.
These are the clipboard settings in my preferences.
Please Note - I have tried every combination of these settings. Turning them on and off one at a time and in combination does nothing to change the end product. I have turned them all off for this example, so as to not muddy the waters.
I type some text. I did not use a text box in this example. I just clicked on the page with the type tool and typed this line. There are no added attributes. You can see the character settings are the most basic. Again, please note - I have tried using a text box with the same result.
I use the type tool to highlight the text and then copy the text. I did not use the selection tool to select the text and copy.
This is what the clipboard looks like. Note that the contents is "text".
If I type text in PS (as an example) and copy to the clipboard it says "text". However, the text I copy out of PS I can paste anywhere as editable text.
If I type text in Notes and copy to the clipboard it says RTF. This text can also be pasted anywhere as editable text.
This leads me to believe that this is an Illustrator centric problem I am experiencing.
I click into the body of an email and paste. Looks fine, but when I try to click into the text (such as between the words "into" and "Mail") I cannot do it.
The line of words is highlighted and not editable at all.
If I right click on the image of the line of text and highlight "open attachment" you can see the clipboard pasted in as a .pdf and not editable text.
Interestingly, if I open a new note and try to paste the line of text, it also pastes as a .pdf but just the icon show up. Double clicking on the icon will open the text as a pdf in acrobat.
I did not have this issue until CC2014 updates were made. I would like to know if there is something that can be done or is this a bug in Illustrator. If it is a bug I don't want to spend time looking for workarounds. I will use another program when I know there will be a good deal of copy and paste work to be done. It's inconvenient for my older Illustrator files now have this issue when I open them in CC2014.
I know I can use the "paste and match style" but it's a force of habit to use the shortcut for paste. It's also a ridiculous change to Illustrator for the cut/paste to act this way. If it indeed was planned and not a bug, what would the benefit be?
If anyone has insight into the problem I am eager to know what's going on.
Finally, if there is no other way to fix this then can someone remind me how to customize the shortcut key combinations in Mail, Notes and TextEdit? I seem to remember (long ago) being able to customize certain shortcuts in some apps, but I never did it in anything but Adobe apps and even then it was CS5.
Thanks in advance for any help!I ran into this issue today. I wanted to copy text into an email – however I pasted it it stayed uneditable.
The workaround was to open Text Edit and use the menu item 'paste and match style' (Command+Option+Shift+V) which pastes it as editable text. Then copy and paste that into mail.
What a pain.
If I try 'paste and match style' directly in mail from illustrator it pastes as a flipping pdf.

How to preserve and keep 2 Pantones from Illustrator, via Photoshop, to InDesign?
Ciao!
I have designed a 3D illustration in Illustrator (version 15.0.2), this illustration need to be printed for a magazine cover and I want to use 2 pantone colours for it.
The 2 pantone colours are assigned form the Swatch Palette.
The image is in CMYK (file > document colour mode > CMYK).
The illustration is in 3D and the text has been convereted in outline. But I have not expanded the appareance of any element.
I want to add more depht to the illustration and Photoshop seems the best solution for shadows and visually looks better.
Plus InDesign can manage Photoshops files with Effects very nicely.
[I find difficult and problematic to import Illustrators files with added Effects in InDesign, it leaves always a white background around the image and I don't know how to get rid of that.]
How do I import the image in Photoshop (version 10.0.2) and keep the pantone?
If I export/import the image as .psd format the files gest converted in CMYK automatically.
In the Swatch Panel (next to the pantones I want to use) I see two square boxex the first has a round gray circle (I don’t know what this means), the second has 4 triangles (this I believe means CMYK).
In the Separation Preview panel (if I click Overprint Preview) I have listed the 4 CMYK colours and the 2 pantones but if I turn off the 5 CMYK eyes I only see the white artboard, it’s like if the pantone are not assigned.
After adding the shadows in Photoshop I need to import the file from Photoshop to InDesign and the final file need to be transparent because there's a backround at the bottom and a box of text in between the background and the illustration.
I could place the bacground and the text in photoshop no problem for that...
The questions are how do I import the 3D file from Illustrator, keep the pantone and add the Photoshop shadow?
Hope anyone can help me as I'm going to press soon...
Please feel free to ask me anything else if need to answer the questions.
Many many thanks in advance if you can help me.
ASTIKThis first image is the file in ID with High Quality Display on
This is with Overprint Preview and that what I aming for, roughly, for the final. [I'm not sure what is the purpose of overprint preview in ID].
This is the 3 plates of Black and two pantones
This is the plate of Black plate
This is the Pantone 812 c plate
and finally this is the Pantone 8201 c plate
Hope this can help to get the best solution -
Pasting from Illustrator CS4 to Photoshop CS4 creates graphical glitches.
I purchased the demos of these products and one of the first things I tried was working between Illustrator and Photoshop, something I do regularly in CS3.
Right away I noticed a huge graphical glitch when pasting an object from illustrator into Photoshop. Most of the time the object, when pasted, is invisible, has no bounding box, and creates a black messy frame around the document's window. Usually some part of this distortion affects other windows outside of photoshop and my desktop.
Here's one example of what it looks like.

Hi All,
Now that Adobe seem to be stopping development of FLASH and concentrating on HTML5 what happens next?
I see there is a FLASH to HTML5 converter, however it is not ideal and is not completely compatible. Will Captivate/Presenter/FLASH now become obsolete or are their plans to directly publish HTML5 content using Captivate and Presenter?
Is there any point continuing to create content in these packages when FLASH looks like its on its last legs?
I understand I may not be understanding the situation completely and I am looking for reassurances!!!
Regards,
David.Adobe has NOT stopped development for Flash. What has been dropped is Flash for mobile devices, with, instead, a focus on AIR applications for mobile devices, and HTML5 delivery for mobile devices.
Captivate and Presenter will not become obsolete. But, there are some great resources on converting Captivate 5.5 projects to HTML5 for better mobile delivery. http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2011/09/html5-converter-for-adobe-captivate-5-5-is-here.h tml
Chances are that future releases of these two products will have more options for publishing in a mobile friendly way, but we will only know for sure when it happens.
Read the actual press release, it is about being more involved in HTML5, but continuing to grow Flash for PC browsing. http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/flash-focus.html
This is probably the most succinct quote from the post:
"Our future work with Flash on mobile devices will be focused on enabling Flash developers to package native apps with Adobe AIR for all the major app stores. We will no longer continue to develop Flash Player in the browser to work with new mobile device configurations (chipset, browser, OS version, etc.) following the upcoming release of Flash Player 11.1 for Android and BlackBerry PlayBook. We will of course continue to provide critical bug fixes and security updates for existing device configurations. We will also allow our source code licensees to continue working on and release their own implementations."
