How can I fit 75 pages into Illustrator?

I'm working on a rulebook for a boardgame. Each page has vector art and text blocks intermixed to explain the rule mechanics. It now exists as 75 individual Illustrator files that need to be combined into a single PDF document.
Obstacle 1: Illustrator doesn't have enough space for 75 artboards
Obstacle 2: Using copy-paste to put each into InDesign doesn't work: Each line of text becomes an individual text block (and therefore uneditable).
Obstacle 3: Using the Place function to put each .ai file into InDesign loads each page as a uneditable picture. I'd have to open each individual page in Illustrator to make a change.
Background: The rulebook was created in a ten-year-old version of Macromedia Freehand, which will not work on my new iMac. Converting it to illustrator resulted in 75 individual .ai files
Is there a way to allow more space in Illustrator to hold more artboards? Can two exported .pdf files be merged together (so the rulebook could be done with two or more .ai files)?

As a longtime FreeHand user, I can offer my 2¢.
I am able to import a multi-page FreeHand MX into Illustrator CC if I first convert the file to PDF. Then using the script: "AI Open MultiPage PDF" http://aiscripts.com/ai-scripts/openmultipagepdf/ I can import the full FreeHand PDF file and it will show up page-by-page. It takes a few minutes to do and does a decent job but ...
Beware the text format limitations between the two programs! FreeHand's block text converts to line text in AI.
The conversion does keep the vector objects editable and fills intact.

How can I get back into my application aftermath invoking Start up page of index.htm ?

Gorgeous Hello All,
If anyone of you can please provide me a solution for the following, will help me in plentious and galore.
Am using Adobe RoboHelp, Version 10 and IE version being 10.
A hurdle :-
I have a application which has been developed in ASP .NET, Version 4.0. Help link has been created in this application wherein here the Start up page of index.htm has been linked to be read from the RoboHelp local project folder\!SSL!\Multiscreen_HTML5\desktop. All are working absolutely fine except when
I login into the above-said application -> click on the Help page -> the index.htm opens with Contents, Index, Glossary -> Am able to successfully perform any task by respective clickings
-> But I am not able to get back into my application when I click on the IE provided Back button (Alt+Left) -> Any amount of invoking Back button makes the system getting looped into this Start up page of index.htm only -> When I Close Tab (Ctrl + W) or Close ( X ) -> The window session gets closed and I have to repeat all by relogin once again.
How can I get back into my application aftermath invoking Start up page of index.htm ?
(I can always get back into the application easily by erasing those parts in the url which refers to this RoboHelp linkages – but this certainly looks non-polished work)
Help Please

Thanks Indeed of lots for your concerns Jeff !!!

My adobe illustrator is in a foreign language. how can i turn it into english?

my adobe illustrator is in a foreign language. how can i turn it into english?

First please remember this is a public forum. If you are going to respond to the thread via e-mail please remove your signature prior to responding.
To resolve your difficulties you will need to go to the Language & Text preference pane. Once there click on Edit List and remove all languages besides English. You will then likely need to remove and reinstall the trial as the language setting I believe is set during the installation process.

Any Help?I know the update has only been out a while but if anyone has an idea why it is doing this, please let me know!

But you are telling me something I already know.
Be precise.
It is not Pages '09 that is broken.
I am back in Mavericks and testing Pages 5.2.
There are improvements, we shall see how useful, but in less than a minute I have already discovered bugs.

How can I convert page points into document points??

Hello,
How can I convert page points into document points? any API?
I have found 2 APIs
AIDocumentViewSuite::ArtworkPointToViewPoint( ) and
AIDocumentViewSuite::ViewPointToArtworkPoint( )
but I dont know what is view point and art work point.
I think artwork point = page points and view points = document points. am I correct ???

What do you mean by 'document points'? Do you mean document units? Like centimeters or inches? If that, there's no API to do (well, kind of in AIUser.h, but that gives you back a string with a unit suffix). Frankly, its pretty easy to just figure out the conversion values for each type of ruler unit -- there are only five or so you need -- and then write a dinky function that takes a value in one or the other, looks up the current document unit and uses that to convert the value (one function for each way). You just need to figure out everything in terms of points (since pixels == points) -- in that regard, it probably helps to know that 72 pt == 1 inch. From that you can figure out pointer-per-inch|centimeter|millimeter|pica.

I need to know how to break my page into two pages so i can send it

Hi,
You can add new form fields via the add item bar. For example if you want them to fill in their name, you'd add perhaps 2 text fields, one for first name, one for last name. Text field is the first icon on the add item bar. Each field allows you to specify a custom label, you can click it to edit the label. Are you seeing the add item bar?
Once you've added all your form fields, you can test your form by clicking the "Test" tab, and then clicking the "Test Web Form" button. That will open a browser to your form, that you can test filling it out. When you've filled it out, you click the submit button. The response will be saved to our service. You can view the submissions, by going to the "View Responses" tab.
Once you've finished testing your form, and want to distribute to your users, go to the "Distribute" tab, click the "Open" button. This will make sure your form is open and accepting repsonses. Then copy the URL by clicking the "Copy Link" button. You can then email that URL to your users, so they can fill in your form.
Does this help?
Thanks,
Todd

I have 2 ipods on same account( 2 different kids in household) how can I separate them into 2 different accounts?

There are actually a few methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Just to summarise what's in the link above:
Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries.
Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. If you've had no success with this you can have a look through the guide on this page: Loading songs onto iPod automatically
Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
You can read about Windows user accounts here: Using Windows XP User Accounts

How can I transfer "Pages" files from my IPad to my Mac?

How can I transfer "Pages " files from my IPad to my IMac, I cannot use ICloud because I have Mountain Lion installed on the IMac?

Actually, you can use iCloud and the way that you so it is to log into iCloud.com on the Mac (use Safari for best results) click on the Pages icon and then drag the Pages files into the browser window. It works the other way around as well. Log into iCloud.com on the Mac and download the files from Pages (that you created on the iPad) in iCloud onto your Mac. You can click on the file in the documents window and select it to Download by clicking on the Gear icon or right click upon the file and select download.
The files will then sync to the Pages app on the iPad - assuming hat you have use iCloud tuned on in Settings>Pages>Use iCloud>On. I have an iMac running Tiger 10.4.11 that I can still move Pages/Word files back and forth Iike this.
Also, File Sharing with iTunes is a great way to move the files back and forth.

How can I export an Adobe illustrator CC .AI file to a DWG or DXF file suitable for SolidWorks?

Hi
Can anyone help?
How can I export an Adobe illustrator CC .AI file to a DWG or DXF file, without SolidWorks enlarging the file & converting every curve into hundreds of short little straight lines rather than a single continuous line/s.
I have made sure the file is ungrouped or has any compound paths or colours.
Opening it in Autocad 2010 still converts the DWG file into hundreds of short little straight lines!
The file is needed to laser cut out an aluminium shape using SolidWorks 2008 (Metal soft)?
Formats they can handle are:
DWG, DXF, IGES, IGA
There must be a way to export it without re-drawing the whole design in Soildworks again!!??
Can anyone help?
INCA

Not really. This is a limitation you will have to live with. Unless you are extremely careful, most paths will be converted to polyline segments by AI and in particular in AI CC this is somehow busted, so it happens more often. You might have much more luck opening a native AI file in DraftSight or a 2D CAD program like TurboCAD and exporting a DWG or 2D IGES/ STEP file from there. The sizing issue is a different matter, but without knowing what units you actualyl used, nobody can advise.

How can I get photoshop and Illustrator CS5? I cannot see it anywhere. My computer(PC) can only use CS5

If you do not own a license for CS5 there is not much you can do to get it thru Adobe. They only sell current versions of their software (CS6 or Creative Cloud). You would need to find a third party vendor and take your chances with them.
If you do own a CS5 license you can download the software thru the following page and use your serial number to activate:

InDesign CS5 is not opening after deactivation/activation. How can I fix this? Illustrator and Photoshop open and are working fine. Please help!

First of all, thank you for replying so promptly to my posts this morning!
I can't remember how I got the software on his computer, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't through migration assistant.
I was looking into doing an uninstall of InDesign and a fresh install. However, I initially downloaded the CS5 suite digitally and I can't find out how I am able to perform a fresh install of InDesign. Do you know where I find this info or gain access to download just InDesign again? I can't seem to find anything in my Adobe account that shows where I might do another download.

HT5534 How can I switch pages in the document?

How can I move pages between them. For example: Page number 10 is placed between page 4 and 5? And if I do not need a page, how can I remove it?
Sincerely,
Adam.

You just gave two versions which one do you want to do this in?
You can largely forget it in Pages 5.01.
If you divide your document with Section Breaks in Pages '09, you can simply drag the thumbnails into place.

How can I uninstall Pages 5.2 and go back to Pages 4.3?

I am very frustrated using Pages 5.2. It is not as easy to use as 5.2 and causes me all sorts of problems - especially when highlighting text. How can I uninstall Pages 5.2 and go back to Pages 4.3 which was much easier to use?

Thanks. The new version of Pages and iMovie are useless to me. I need to delete the new version of Pages so my functional documents won't keep trying to "upgrade" to pages 5.2. It annoys me to no end. I hope they smarten up soon.
It seems that Apple is trying to turn its computer applications into iphone apps. They are eliminating essential features and functions that don't work on a 600 dollar pocket watch. It appears to be part of a misguided attempt to have universal cross-platform compatibility. Or they just want to get out of the computer business. I suspect that accountants are having too much influence on business models. There is a place for accountants. But giving too much control to bean counters can eliminate quality and cripple innovation, leading to the ultimate downfall of the corporation.
