How can I fill part of a shape?

The logo I'm working on requires part of some "complex" shape (The 'Celtic knot' shape, wolf head) and I can't figure it out.
When I use the Knife tool (with the shape selected), it doesn't split:
*Note: the line down the middle is just a guideline*
and when I use the Erase tool, the lines become curvy. 

Well I'll be... I'd never bumped into that particular use for compound path before. Learn something new every day.
Thank you, JET.

Edit to add:
On more complex shapes (see below) I could not get either compound path OR divide objects below to work correctly (probably some bad points, somewhere - this is clip art and I didn't check extensively). But when I used pathfinder, as suggested above by Mylenium, I could get the job done.

  • How can I transfer part of iPhoto files from my hard drive of iMac to free up  my hard drive which is 95% full

    My IMAC 24" Early 2008, with Hard Drive of 500 is running out of Memory, down to 25 MGHz. Since I have large collection of photographs in my IPhoto, with fair numbers in raw forms, I presume most of the memory is taken by them. I am unable to find weather that is the cause of low memory, and if it is so,  how can I transfer part of them into external hard drive to free up the space. Help into yhe matter will be appreciated. Thanks

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    Now you have two full versions of the Library.
    3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
    Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
    Some Notes:
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

  • I am trying to fill in a form in adobe exportpdf. How can I fill in numbers and symbols? Parenthesis, dollar sign etc.

    I am trying to fill in a form in adobe exportpdf. How can I fill in numbers and symbols? Parenthesis, dollar sign etc.

    Hi;
    Can you provide a little more detail, maybe a screenshot?  ExportPDF only converts PDFs to other file types, what exactly are you using to try to fill out the form?  The two Adobe form filling tools I would recommend would be:
    1) Adobe Reader - a free download you can install on your computer and can be used to fill out most any form.  For numbers, symbols etc it can depend on the field you are entering data into, some fields have restrictions, but you would use those keys on your keyboard, if nothing is entered then that field probably has restrictions.
    2) Adobe Fill & Sign: https://cloud.acrobat.com/fillsign - using the Fill & Sign tab on the acrobat.com website you can fill out most PDFs.  To enter numbers, symbols, etc you would simply add them using your keyboard.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • How can I fill a pdf form with Excel?

    I have a pdf form and a set of Excel dates. How can I fill the form with this dates?
    Is there any way to transform excel dates into a fdf-File?
    Thank You for helping
    Hans

    I see. That's possible, in theory, but it requires using a complicated custom-made script.
    I would suggest using that Mail Merge option that's available in some versions of Excel to produce multiple single-page files, then flatten all of them (using an Action), and then merge them to a single file, to achieve the same result with much less effort.

  • How can I fill in a form, save the form such that it cannot be further altered, and email it as it was saved?

    How can I fill in a form, save the form such that it cannot be further altered, and email it as it was saved?  I created a form with 5 fields.  It is a form letter that is intended as a receipt for funds received.  I want to fill in the date, name, amount received, etc., save the form with inserted data fields so they can't be further altered, and be able to email it as a complete unalterable PDF document.  What I'm doing now, is filling in the fields, printing it, scanning it, and emailing it as an unalterable document.  The document was created on a Mac using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 10.1.13.  The document is filled in on a PC that only has Adobe reader on it, printed, scanned and emailed as an attachment. There must be a better way! 

    If you have access to a ASP.net Web Server, then the submission could be FLATTENED with FDFToolkit.net and emailed without client-side email software by only using Adobe Reader.

    Copy (or cut) the area you want to print, and paste it in to a new document.

    How can I copy part of a larger PDF file and create a smaller one?

    Hi,
    Copy the content of PDF file in Adobe Reader and paset it to MS Word then create PDF file from the Word file.
    This may not work for all PDF files as some PDF files are not created correctly or some content cannot be copied.
    Acrobat XI Pro has features to extract/delete/crop pages in PDF files and you can download it from www.adobe.com(Trial version- 30 days free). Or you can upgrade your subscription to Acrobat Plus and see more information at https://www.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html

  • How can I fill mask with pattern?

    Hi
    Would you please help me? How can a add pattern to a mask? I drew a motion mask on video clip and now I want to fill it with pattern that I made in Photoshop and saved as PSD, what should I do? How can I fill mask with specific pattern?
    Thanks for any help

    AE doesn't directly support a pattern-fill like PS, so here's a workaround (as Mylenium suggested):
    Create a PS document and create a layer filled with the pattern required.
    Import the layer/PSD to AE and place in timeline.
    Place a copy of the masked layer above the Pattern layer.
    On the pattern layer, set the Track Matte to Alpha Matte.

  • How can I fill my Organizer

    Good evening Creative Community,
    Sorry when my English is not so good because I'm German.:mansad:
    I have a question how can I fill my Zen X-fi 2 Organizer with the Creative Media Centrale.
    And my own Meaning to Creative Media Centrale is not so good and I find

    and you can fill your player easyer than the software of the Zen X-fi 2.
    I hope you can help me and you can understand my english and what I mean.

    You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the songs manually.
    However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
    What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
    At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See this.

    You would need to try to contact support for content providers, the standard support system at apple wouldn't be able to help much with this as they pretty much handle the consumer end of support and not the provider/developer, Only support for that I could find is available at http://www.apple.com/itunes/content-providers/
