Handling paragraphs in illustrator

I have amazing difficulty in understanding how to make justified text in a text box in Illustrator
(I'm currently using CS4 on Leopard). The text is modified vertically, horizontally
and there is kerning, but that should not stop someone from making justified paragraphs...
I have a text box which should have a justified paragraph but all the lines are left aligned (after selecting justify).
Why isn't paragraph formatting like in InDesign? It would be so much simpler.
What I find stupid about text boxes in Illustrator is when you stretch the box,
it doesn't reajust the lines, it changes the shapes and size of the text ?!%!?!%
Please make text and paragraph editing like in InDesign.
And make it so that Illustrator handles fonts like any other program.
Illustrator manages fonts its own way it seems, not a good thing.
I have to edit text in Illustrator exceptionnaly for one job for a particular customer.
But, in any other situation, I avoid typing in Illustrator (just a few words, logos, etc not entire paragraphs)
to reason is that doing typography in Illustrator is hell.
Thank you.

First off, you're on the user forum, meaning you're speaking to others just like you and very rarely, Adobe themselves.  If you'd like to speak to (well, towards...) Adobe, use their Feature request/Bug report form located here.
Secondly, your wish has already been granted!  Congratulations!  You need only to look into "area text" versus "point text"  From the sounds of it, you're looking at point text. (take the text tool, click, start typing.)  What it appears you need is area text (take the text tool, click and drag to define the bounds, start typing.)

  • Can I format a paragraph in illustrator, with multiple text sizes?

    Hi,
    I have a number of paragraphs in illustrator that have the following...
    a title = Arial bold 18 pt.
    body text =Arial reg 14 pt.
    and indents with bullets
    It seems that illustrator only supports one font, size, color, etc. for each Paragraph style. I would like to be able to set the title to Arial bold, 18pt, Blue, and the body text to Arial regular, 14pt, white, with different leadings, within the same style setting. Does anyone know if this can be done?
    Thank you in advance.

    What are you guys talking about? Since when does InDesign support multiple text attributes for a single Paragraph Style? At least in CS3 InDesign's Paragraph Styles have settings for nested Character Styles and drop caps, but you still define one set of text attributes for the Paragraph Style itself.
    In principle it's basically the same in Illustrator. If you want to actually have multiple text treatments in one paragraph, you apply Character Styles to text ranges within the paragraph. Illustrator's implementation of it is pure crap in that inheritance and style redefinition does not work correctly, but the fact remains you certainly can have multiple text treatments in one paragraph, but it is not done with a single Paragraph Style. If using Styles (as you should) it is a matter of nesting Character Styles within paragraphs that have Paragraph Styles applied.
    But I strongly suspect that what Mr. Harley is describing is not really a single paragraph at all. He wants different text sizes, different indents, and bullets. That clearly involves multiple paragraphs.
    Harley, in part of your description of what you want, you seem to be referring to a single textframe object as a "paragraph." A paragraph is a range of text separated by a carriage return. When you define and apply a Paragraph Style, the carriage return defines the range of the Style. When you define and apply a Character Style, the selected range of characters define the range of the Style. You can use multiple Character Styles within a paragraph that has a Paragraph Style applied.
    But you are talking about the need to define several Paragraph Styles to use in one block of text, or "story" (one or several textframe objects). You just need to define three Paragraph Styles:
    Heading: Arial Bold 18 pt.
    Body: Arial Regular 14 pt.
    BodyBullet: Same as Body, but with different indents. Set a tab at the bullet location and at the left indent. (You type your bullet characters; you don't just select "bullets" from a setting.)
    Type all your text, using carriage returns as you would expect. Each carriage return marks the beginning of a new paragraph. (This is as true in Illustrator as it is in InDesign, Word, or anything else.) Click inside a paragraph and apply the appropriate Paragraph Style.
    Now suppose you want to use a convention within your document that emphasizes certain words or phrases by painting them magenta instead of whatever color is defined in the Paragraph Style. Create a Character Style. Name it Emphasis. In that Style, set the character color to magenta. Now swipe across a word in one of your paragraphs and apply the Emphasis Character Style. The whole paragraph still has the Paragraph Style you applied to it. But now the color of a few characters is overridden by the Character Style you have applied to those characters.
    Again, like many things in Illustrator, its implementation of Paragraph Styles and Character Styles is very sloppy compared to other programs. But it is not true that 'InDesign can apply multiple text treatments in a single Paragraph Style, and Illustrator can't.' At least not up to CS3.

  • Can After Effects CC handle this many Illustrator layers?

    I designed a world map in Adobe Illustrator with many layers for a documentary about interwar Europe (1919-1939). The Illustrator map actually has 80 layers. Would this be a map with too many layers to animate in After Effects?
    In AE I plan to add a camera to zoom in on parts of the map like Europe and the Middle East. But I'll also need to animate the opacity of individual layers to show territorial changes and invasions in Europe before and after 1919 Versailles Treaty and the 1938 Munich Agreement. The reason I have so many layers is that I thought I could use this one map in multiple different map animations for my film.
    Can AE handle this many layers? Or is it wiser to keep the layers to a minimum number?
    Also, is there no way in After Effects to group the layers other than pre-comping them? It would be great to be able to have sub-layers in AE like you can in Illustrator. I could then reduce the number of layers in my map from 80 to less than 20, by grouping all European states as sub-layers into a Europe layer, as so on for Africa, Asia, etc.
    Unless I'm mistaken, Illustrator sub-layers are not visible in After Effects, are they?

    Rick and Mylenium,
    Thank you both for your feedback. Much appreciated. Mylenium, I'm sure you're right. I probably was trying to do too much in one map. I'll follow your suggestion and use the minimum number of layers for each scenario. I'm spending too much time as it is looking for particular layers among the 80.
    I do wish it were possible in AE to simply group layers without pre-comping them though. Or that Illustrator sub-layers could be visible. It would really help to streamline the workflow. I suppose I could precomp all layers and then simply add a camera to the pre-comp.
    Rick I'll try the expression controls and parenting, but can you elaborate a little further regarding your suggestion of pre-planning in Illustrator?
    Thank you both again for your helpful suggestions.

  • How to handle paragraph styles in imported text with no tagged paragraph styles

    Hi
    Im currently trying to import a file (word file / excel I have both formats) into an indesign book and formatting the text automatically!
    My question is: How is it possible to reflow text into frames and when changing frame it changes paragraph?
    Or how is it possible to change paragraph style when forcing a line break when using text reflow?
    I have already figured out how to reflow the text, and actually also managed to relow text into the frames and change paragraph style. I know how to use the keep option, and by this change the paragraph style when e.g. changing frame break/page break etc.  (but if the content being flowed-in is not tagged with style names then I cannot figure out how to do it) The document and its content I whish to import do not have any tagged paragraphs!
    Then I tried to look into "object styles" and format a text frame on a master page with an object style, and by using a "dilimiter character" forcing the text to start in a new frame when bringing the frame into live on a page. But here I cannot make the "text frame/object style" to apply or to work.
    If any of you have a hint, I would be more than happy to hear from you
    This picture are illustrating the outcome I would to get to....

    If the incoming text does not have styles, or has only one style, there is really not much you can do other than assign styles after the import. If there are recognizable patterns in the formatting, a lot of that can be done with Find/Change, and there are a few scripts floating around that can help automate some of that.
    Also, if your styles have a a good "next style" heirarchy built in, you can select large blocks of text (up to the point where applying next style would be incorrect), then right click the style name in the paragraph styles panel and choose apply style and next style (remove overrides). Warning. Removing overrides will remove any locally applied formatting like bold or italics, so local formatting should be converted to character styles first. Applied character styles are not overrides and will be preserved.

  • Anchor Points and handles disappearing in Illustrator CC – Windows 8

    Hi,
    I'm hoping someone can help.
    This is becoming a consistently re-occurring issue for me, and it's not specific to any particular file.
    The bounding box is visible, so I have a blue outline and blue "anchor points" at the end of each line, and I can even use the new CC round edges option, however I have no anchor points to do any resizing, and I can't hover the black arrow tool just outside the edges of a shape to quickly rotate it.
    It's not a case of going into preferences/view and turning on bounding box and/or show anchor points (Ctrl+Shft+B) nor (Ctrl+H). This seems to happen to me randomly but consistently, on new or existing files, and there's no rhyme or reason to when it happens. I could have been working on the file for 2 hours or 2 minutes and it can just kick in.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Probably worth noting that I also have CC on my Mac and I tend not to see the issue, it happens occasionally but nowhere near to the same extent as the Windows version, and I've experienced the issue occasional on older versions of Illustrator also, so it just seems like an inherent issue on these versions rather than the inhibiting barrier it's proving to be on CC Windows.

  • Copy and paste text and graphics between Flash and Illustrator

    When copying text in Illustrator and pasting them to Flash, some text would become drawing objects and some remain text. A drawing object is not editable. If I import the AI file, then text remains text but the placement of graphics can be a little bit off sometimes.
    It's just not possible to copy-and-paste text and graphics from Flash to Illustrator.
    Is it just me? If not, when will Adobe have better integration between the 2?
    Thanks,

    Even though you can change your InDesign preferences for Clipboard Handling to allow formatted information to be pasted into InDesign from other programs, unfortunately Illustrator still won't allow you paste in text with formatting. This is due to how Illustrator and InDesign handle text differently. Even if you copy the text from Illustrator and paste it into a program like Word, which has a lot of different ways to handle formatted text, Illustrator just treats text differently than other Adobe applications.

  • Can i copy text from illustrator to indesign and retain attributes

    Hello,
    I received an illustrator cs3 file that I need to convert to InDesign cs3.
    Is there a way to copy the type that is set in illustrator to indesign, while retaining the attributes. I need to be able to make changes on the type in indesign, so converting type to outlines isn't an option.

  • Importing Illustrator paths

    I'm thinking of shifting some of my web design work from
    Illustrator into Fireworks. I like the pixel-level control on
    strokes and stuff like that.
    But I'm having a real problem moving any vector image from
    Illustrator into Fireworks. No matter what I do, Fireworks just
    rasterizes the file.
    I have tried saving as EPS and as legacy Illustrator versions
    and Illustrator EPS. I am use Fireworks MX 2004. When I try to open
    these files Fireworks just rasterizes the whole image. There is an
    options dialouge box but all it lets you change are the dimensions
    of the rasterized image.
    The FW help suggests that you can import Vector images. Does
    anyone know how to do this (without using Freehand, which I don't
    have access to).
    Thanks

    What legacy version are you saving your Illustrator file to
    and what
    version of Illustrator are you using? I don't have access to
    FW MX 2004
    anymore but I can open Illustrator files into Fireworks 8
    fine when
    using AI version 8 files. I don't remember any issue with
    this in MX
    2004 either.
    Have you tried importing the AI file into Fireworks? When
    doing that you
    should get a dialog with several options. Just make sure the
    options for
    rasterizing Groups and Tiled Fills are unchecked. You could
    also try
    copy-pasting from Ai into FW. If you do that, make sure that,
    in your
    "File Handling and Clipboard" Illustrator Preferences, both
    the PDF and
    AICB/Preserve Paths "Copy As:" settings are checked.

  • A few questions about Text

    1) Is there any key that allows you to scale the area type, without having to select the scale tool?
    2) Is there any possibility to reduce the area of the area type with a single clic in any of the bottons of the area (like you can do in FreeHand)?
    3) Can you convert a title type into an area type and vice versa in a quick way?

    Vaca,
    Welcome to the real world.
    Neither Illustrator nor InDesign provide anything like FreeHand's auto-fitting textframes.
    Neither Illustrator nor InDesign provide anything like FreeHand's wrapping tabs.
    FreeHand provides proper paragraph rules; Illustrator only has its lame underscore and strikethrough.
    FreeHand provides an end-column formatting character.
    One text object in FreeHand does more than Illustrator's two.
    One text tool in FreeHand does more than Illustrator's six.
    One selector tool FreeHand does more than Illustrator's three.
    One pen tool in FreeHand is more powerful than Illustrator's four (three pens plus one convert).
    One polygon tool in FreeHand does more than Illustrator's two (star and polygon).
    FreeHand provides more grad types than Illustrator.
    FreeHand knows the difference between a path being selected as an object vs. having all its anchorpoints selected.
    FreeHand can drag-bend a straight segment without adding an unwanted anchorpoint.
    FreeHand snaps are reliable at any zoom.
    FreeHand's speed blows the doors off Illustrator.
    So-called "power duplication" is more powerful in FreeHand than in Illustrator.
    Select-through is quick and fluid in FreeHand; cumbersome and tedious in Illustrator.
    FreeHand provides for disallowing fills on open paths; Illustrator doesn't.
    FreeHand's cutting tool can cut its own open, unfilled paths (duh!).
    FreeHand's path operations are more logical than Illustrator's cluttered and confused Pathfinders.
    In FreeHand, winding direction in compound paths is more reliable.
    FreeHand's interface doesn't encourage the creation of stray points.
    FreeHand provides a proper hairline stroke weight.
    FreeHand provides Connector Points to ensure tangency of curves to straight segments.
    FreeHand provides a proper, straightforward, reverse path command.
    FreeHand can auto-extend, auto-retract anchor handles.
    FreeHand provides connector lines.
    Illustrator never kept up with FreeHand in most basic functionality.
    FreeHand always allowed editing in preview mode. It took several versions for Illustrator to catch up to that and, incredulously, AI users actually defended that inability.
    It took fifteen years for Illustrator to acquire a Fit To Page print command.
    It took twenty years for Illustrator be able to add page 2.
    Illustrator still doesn't provide for user-defined drawing scales.
    Illustrator still doesn't even provide live shape primitives (live polygons, arcs, ellipses, etc.)--among the most basic constructs common to vector drawing programs.
    I could go on and on an on with this list. Users have been pointing these things out literally for decades. Illustrator is simply the most archaic, cumbersome, tedious, confused, and cluttered mainstream vector program on the market. Much of the basic feature set is sub-standard (see custom arrowheads). The interface is worst-of-class. Those who don't know better encounter its confused awkwardness and mistake it for "sophistication."
    And we're talking about superior functionality that remains in a program Adobe acquired and discontinued how many years ago?

  • Issues when embedding several subtitles languages in one file - bug?

    Dear people
    I have added subtitles to a couple of shorts ripped from DVDs and embedded the .srt (sometimes one, sometimes several) using Subler into the m4v.
    The results are:
    * I can select all the subtitles in iTunes on my Mac, as expected
    * on the iPad I can't select subtitles at all (if there are more than one), and I just can see the last selected language I've used in iTunes
    Is this a known bug? or a feature? or there is anything I can do?

  • How to justify the text of a bulleted list

    Does anyone know if it is possible to justify the text of a bulleted list in the same way as for a paragraph? I can do it in Microsoft Word but I can't seem to do it in Illustrator.
    When I justify the text of a paragraph in Illustrator it works perfectly fine. But when I do it for bulleted text, it gets all weird. Can anyone offer any advice? I'd greatly appreciate it!

    The only solution I'm seeing is this older post from CS3 that directs you to use the inDesign text engine.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/467763
    Typographically having a bullet list aligned other then flush left rag right seems unnatural. I would like if you could post a screen shot of the Word doc that is aligned the way you envision your text aligning in Illustrator.

  • Text area submits

    I created a form that submits articles. Articles consist of
    paragraphs. Every time I insert a article into a database, I lose
    those paragraphs so when its posted on the website, its just one
    big blob of text. How can I keep my paragraphs when I submit a
    article. Also, when I click in the text area, I can pretty much
    click anywhere in the text area. How do I make it where the Cursor
    starts to blink at the very top left of the text area.

    I lose those paragraphs so when its posted on the website,
    its just one
    big blob of text.
    The paragraphs were not lost, you are dealing with different
    systems
    that handle paragraphs in different ways.
    In plain text, paragraphs are ended with some kind of
    carriage return
    and|or line feed. In windows systems this is almost always
    the ASCII
    characters (13) carriage return and (10) line feed.
    HTML does not recognize these carriage returns and line feeds
    and
    ignores them. So they where there in the output, but being
    ignored by
    the browser. What CJ's function is doing is converting the
    ASCII
    characters into the HTML <br> tag that the browser
    understands. The
    CHR() function is for working with ASCII characters by their
    code numbers.

  • Acrobat X: Improved OCR accuracy / capabilities?

    Anyone know if there is improved OCR accuracy / capabilities in Acrobat X?

    i just tried the acrobat x ocr capabilities and it was very disappointing.  acrobat x ocr is not very accurate.
    also, acrobat x doesn't format or select paragraphs properly, because each line of text is given a paragraph break--which interrupts text flow.  that means any copied paragraph text from acrobat x will require a lot of manual reformatting.
    any chance acrobat can use the abbyy finereader ocr engine in the future or as a plugin?  finereader ocr is virtually perfect in ocr accuracy.  finereader also handles paragraph text flow the way it should be.
