How can I generate/copy to high-res rasterized output?

Okay, I admit, I'm very new to vectoring, but I'm running into an annoying rasterization problem with Adobe Illustrator CS3.
Ok, so I have a vectored image. It's low-res (72 DPS), because it's basically just lines. The preview window in Illustrator shows beautiful, totally smooth lines: picture-perfect. I "Select All", copy it into Photoshop (as pixels), and lo and behold, the image looks totally crappy! All jagged edges, no anti-aliasing, etc. So I figured I just make the image a bit larger, set the document raster size to 300dpi, and saved the new .ai file. To no avail, either. Even transformed it to higher res. Didn't solve it either.
At long last I resolved to just taking a bloody screengrab from the preview window, thinking that would at least give me a clear shot. Alas, I thought wrong. Illustrator still passes a crappy image to Photoshop! (Or rather, what you get in PtrScrn is apparently still vectorized data that Photoshop continues to show horridly). So, now I'm faced with an Illustrator preview window that can show the vectored image better than anything else, but with no way to export it in that quality to a rasterized image! Very frustrating.
I hope someone knows how to solve this. Thanks.
P.S. I wish I could show you, but I can't make the screengrabs!
P.P.S. I'm talking about "Overprint preview" above. "Pixel preview" also looks crappy in AI. So, the question then becomes, how can I output my stuff in "Overprint preview" quality?

Please do not pay attention to the rude and sarcastic Doug Katz
No, please do.
Threads like this are quickly becoming the most common type in this forum: Someone who has obviously spent zero time looking at the documentation, just launches a program which they admit they know nothing about, and then come here asking for help using ambiguous gibberish that makes absolutely no sense in the context of the program. Then they try to "cover up" their sloth with "cute" or "hip" colloquialism.
Doug's sarcasm is dead on-point, and is a very clear and succinct way to drive home what I just said above (which you will no doubt consider "rude," regardless of the fact that it is just a simple and direct statement of the truth).
The thread then proceeds to become a lengthy series of blind-leading-the-blind posts, with everyone making mere guesses as to what the thread originator is actually doing. To wit:
It is not necessary to use the Smart Objects option to obtain smooth rasterization of something copied from Illustrator and pasted into Photoshop. That is not the purpose of Smart Objects. (See the documentation.)
It sounds like Iwakura-san is merely pasting something into Photoshop, seeing the initial unaliased display inside the transform box, and assuming that something is wrong. When you paste vector artwork from Illustrator into Photoshop, you get the Paste As dialog. You can then select Pixels, instructing Photoshop to rasterize the vector artwork (Photoshop is doing this rasterization, Iwakura-san, not Illustrator) to the resolution of the current document after you have positioned and scaled it as desired. As long as the artwork is shown in its transform box, you can scale it and position it because it's still on the clipboard as vector artwork and only a low-res preview of it is being displayed, to facilitate your positioning it. When you have it positioned and scaled as desired, doubleClick inside it, and it will then rasterize to the Photoshop document's resolution and antialias.
But again...that's all just more guessing at the meaning of a very poorly described question.

  • How can i generate variable pulse waveform using PWM outputs of 7344.

    Hi
    I want to generate a pulse waveform using the pwm outputs of 7344. How can i very the frequency of the PWM programatically.

    If you are programming in LabVIEW, you can use the Configure PWM Output VI to set up the frequency of the pulse train. If you are in any other language, you can use the NI-Motion API and call the flex_configure_pwm_output function to achieve the same result. Please refer to the NI-Motion C reference help that gets installed with the NI-Motion 6.0 driver or follow this link:

    Hello all.
    Bi Publisher is great, but has a very high price tag. It's even more expensive than Forms & Reports Services. We are considering APEX to replace Forms & Reports on the web, but the reporting limitations are still a problem.
    I wonder if there is another option.

  • How can I Generate two different reports from single execution of Test cases in NI teststand

    Hi,
    My requirement is to generate two different reports from NI teststand. One for the Logging of error descriptions and the other report is by default generated by the Teststand. How can i generate a txt file that contains error descriptions other than that mentioned in the default report?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Do you need to do that just for these two sequences but not for other sequences? I don't see a problem to use SequenceFilePostStepRuntimeError. Create this callback in both sequence files and configure them to log into the same file. SequenceFilePostStepRuntimeError callback is called after each step of the sequence file if it has runtime error. You can access the calling step error information via RunState.Caller.Step.Result.Error property. Take a look to attached example.
    The "other way" is useful if you need to log errors not for every step of the sequence file, but for some of them. This is more complex, because you need to create a custom step types for these steps. For the custom step you can create substeps (post-step in your case) which will be executed every time after step of this type executed. Then, this is you job to determine if error happened in the step, acces to step's error information is via Step.Result.Error property. 
    Also, be aware that step's post-expression is not executed in case of error in the step.

    actually, unless you take an extra step, the first opened swf will close.  if you want the 2nd to close, the initial receiving lc will send a message to sender that causes the sender to close.

    HTML to PDF with Java, using OpenOffice.org - example here: [http://www.dancrintea.ro/html-to-pdf/|http://www.dancrintea.ro/html-to-pdf/]
    You can use OpenOffice.org, running as a server and command it remotely for document convertion.
    Besides HTML to PDF, there are also possible other convertions:
    doc --> pdf, html, txt, rtf
    xls --> pdf, html, csv
    ppt --> pdf, swf
    Code example:
    import officetools.OfficeFile; // this is my tools package
    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("c:/test.html"));
    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File("c:/test.pdf"));
    // suppose OpenOffice.org runs on localhost, port 8100
    OfficeFile f = new OfficeFile(fis,"localhost","8100", true);
    f.convert(fos,"pdf");

    How can I move/copy scanned photos that were sent to my gmail account? I have not been able to move or copy to iPhoto.

    Hello SusieMacBook,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! 
    You can definitely get these photos into iPhoto if they are the correct file type (JPEG, GIF, TIFF, and PNG).  The way you import the photo attachments depends on where you check your e-mail.  The following article is for iPhoto 11 (but should work for previous versions as well).  It outlines how to import photos from Mac Mail, other e-mail applications, and web browsers, so just look at the section that applies to you.

    how can i get copied to my 14 year-old daughter's text messages without her knowledge?

    Unless the cell carrier would provide such a service, which if they do would only be available to you if you are the owner of her cell account, then it's not possible without hacking the iPhone, something we cannot discuss here. And if she has the account in her name, then as SeaBeast suggested such hacking may well be illegal. Even 14-year-olds have privacy rights. You would have to discuss that with a lawyer, though.
