How can i get illustrator outlines as beziers in motion?

i have several shapes made in illustrator that i wish to animate. is it possible (like in after effects) to open/copy/paste the outlines out of illustrator into outlines in motion?
help?

You need to convert them to Motion Shapes. There's an illustrator script that does that.
It's not very convenient but it works.
You can find it here:

How can I get Illustrator Developers SDK?

Hi,
How can I get Illustrator Developers SDK? Can someone give me the SDK? I want to process multiple eps file and I want to reduce the width and height using SDK in VB.Net. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Buddy

Hi Buddy,
For the Illustrator SDK, Google is your friend: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/illustrator/sdk/
As for VB.Net, I'm afraid you're out of luck. The SDK is all C++ and designed to be platform independent, apart from resources (I write plugins for the Mac). However, there are template projects for VC2005 included in the SDK, just follow the instructions in the accompanying documentation on how to install it.
Have fun!

How can I get Illustrator CS6 to update? I get Installation error code U44M1P7

I have a windows 8.1 machine. When I installed Design Standard CS6, I got error messages for Illustrator CS6, Photoshop CS6 regular and Photoshop CS6 64-bit.
I checked for Adobe updates, and after installing all of these, I still get an error for Illustrator.
It tells me "Adobe Illustrator CS6 Update (version 16.0.3) Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7
From some of the other message boards, I have seen the thing to do is re-try the update.
I have done this three times, but Illustrator still has the same problem.
What can e done to troubleshoot? I am directed to contact customer care for this issue.
Thank you.

How can I get Illustrator to automatically resize the font to a designated page width?

I want to be able to type lines of text and have Illustrator automatically change the font size so that it fits that width of the page exactly, even if on one line there are 8 words and on another line there are 2 words - I want the big and small letters effect. I was previously doing this in Photoshop manually but someone suggested I could do it easier in Illustrator so here I am....
Thanks.
Jay

each line has to be a separate text object (point text, not area text)
use this version, as SRiegel pointed out, the script was missing a line
#target Illustrator
// script.name = textBlock_CS4.jsx; // not tested on CS5 yet.
// script.description = converts selected point textFrames into a Block of Text;
// script.required = one document with at least two selected text frames;
// script.parent = carlos canto // 12/4/11;
// script.elegant = false;
if (app.documents.length > 0)
        var idoc = app.activeDocument;
        var sel = idoc.selection;
if (sel.length>1)
var width = prompt ("Enter desired Text Block width in Points", 300, "Text Block"); //
if (width!=null) // quit if pressed Cancel
var dupLayer = idoc.layers.add(); // add a layer to place the new block of text
dupLayer.name = "Text Block";
var blockGrp = dupLayer.groupItems.add(); // add a group to final output
blockGrp.name = "Text Block";
var left = idoc.width/3; // place block at the bottom 3rd of the page
var top = idoc.height/3
var spacingMM = prompt ("Enter spacing in Millimeters", 2, "Text Block"); // text lines spacing in mm
var spacingPts = new UnitValue(spacingMM,"mm").as ("pt") // convert to points
for (i=0; i<sel.length; i++) // loop thru selection
if (sel[i].typename == "TextFrame") { // continue if textFrame, ignore other pageItems
var itext = sel[i].duplicate(blockGrp, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND); // duplicate text
itext.selected = false; // deselect it
grpName = itext.contents; // get contents to name outline group
var ioutlined = itext.createOutline(); // create outlines
ioutlined.name = grpName; // rename group
var perCent = width/ioutlined.width*100; // get scaling percentage, based on desired width of block
var scaleMatrix = app.getScaleMatrix(perCent, perCent);
ioutlined.transform (scaleMatrix); // scale outlined text
ioutlined.left = left; // position text
ioutlined.top = top+ioutlined.height+spacingPts; // top = previous item top + spacing + current item
top = ioutlined.top // get current top to use on next item
} // end if - non text frames
} // end for loop - selection
} // end check prompt for calcel
} // end if selection > 1
else
alert ("Select at least 2 textFrames before running");
    } // end at least one document
else
        alert ("There are no open documents");

How can I get Illustrator to render type as well as Photoshop?

I know, Illustrator is better for type. But I'm comp'ing a web design using a Google font called Nobile. The screencap below shows some greek set in Illustrator (top) and the same greek set in Photoshop (below). You don't have to be a typophile to see which one looks better!
One interesting thing I discovered is that using the "sharp" antialias in PS will create the same messed up x-height rendering that Illustrator does. It only looks good in "smooth" or "strong." Perhaps there's a similar setting in Illustrator to change the antialias?
For now I'm just going to place a .psd into my Illustrator file but I'm thinking there's GOT to be a way to make this type look good in Illustrator. Any ideas?

Here Iam comparing Illustrator to Photoshop
firswst Photoshop Strong
Now Photoshop Smooth
I would say there is something wrong that is affecting this
You can read this document for the a possible solution. There should be a similar document for windows.

How can I get Illustrator to show me a preview before opening a file?

Hello fellow illustrators! When I open Illustrator, and want to search through previous drawings, I can't see a preview, or thumbnail, only the pink flower? Do you have this problem? Is there some setting somewhere (I've looked in preferences) that will allow me to see other Illustrator files? As it is now, I have to open each once to see if it is the one i need. This is a big waste of time! Thanks for any tips you may have. Have a wonderful day! Tinkertist

If you are on Mac you can select file, hit spacebar to see preview (if the .ai file was saved with pdf compatible on). We save with pdf compatible on to meek sampler/faster files, but always save a pdf next to the .ai file of which the spacebar hotkey works great on.
Not sure I follow you. Are you saying save an .ai file with PDF compatibility "on" or are you saying save a PDF with AI compatibility on? This part confuses me: "but always save a pdf next to the .ai file of which the spacebar hotkey works great on.".
I typically just save a PDF with AI compatibility. The PDF is slightly larger, but fully compatible with AI and easy to share for proofing, etc.

How can I get 300 dpi tifs out of webex stills & then worked on in adobe illustrator?

How can I get 300 dpi tifs out of webex stills & then worked on in adobe illustrator?
I have been trying to convert images created in webex and transferred to illustrator into 300 dpi tifs. They download as ucf's when generated on white board. Or I have to upload files from other webex participants coming in at 72 dpi, converting them to something bigger in photoshop to paint in before taking them back into the webex session as a doc that then gets worked on further during the session. Later they go into illustrator for some more work with vectors. That's fine for the web but now a publisher wants them as 300 dpi tifs and I can only get things back & forth as 72 dpi pdf's. If I try to bump them up with a resample, they come out teensy weensy. What am I missing and is there any way to make them look good?

What I need is to be able to transfer the images between formats without degradation of the resolution and find ways to sharpen what I have even if I can't increase pixels. If the original I'm delivered is a 96 dpi power point slide, for example, that's what I have to work with, I'm using Illustrator to compensate with vectors. But then I still need to get it back to a 300 dpi tiff to meet the specs.

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:

How can I get the HTML codes in illustrator?

Hi, I am a graphic designer, and I am getting into the web world, I wanna know how can I get the HTML codes to upload a web design made using Illustrator,...¡?Does any one know?Please let me know...

everyone here is right, dreamweaver is better and you will need to understand html for this to work. HOWEVER, you can make a functional website using just illustrator and notepad (or text edit if you're on a mac).
Design your site in illy, slice it up with the slice tool. http://s23.postimg.org/mv311kpp7/test_illy.jpg
Save for web and select html and images, you'll get an html file and an images folder. Open the HTML file in your text editing program and it will look like this: http://s10.postimg.org/f32nf6r2h/html_stuff.jpg you'll have to know HTML codes but you can find tutorials online for most stuff, you'll just have to figure it out. In my fake site, i linked a button to google so i had to add <a href> tags to the code. http://s22.postimg.org/5avpadhch/a_href.jpg save the html file and open it in your web browser, hopefully not IE. You can't tell in the picture but the middle button actually does link to google. http://s21.postimg.org/qd77slqmf/firefox.jpg

How can I get a serial number for Illustrator CS5?

How can I get a serial number for Illustrator CS5 when I have a complete CC subscription?
I have a GCC Expert 24 plotter running on OS X and the direct cut plugin is only compatible with CS5 or earlier.
I have tried asking in support chat but it never actually works, my next option is to ring or get a cracked version but i'm trying to avoid both of those options if I can.
Thanks.

xdmg,
In addition to what Lutz said, unless you buy a CS5 that is still new and unused, you will need a licence transfer through Adobe,
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/transfer-product-license.html
and the application must be deactivated on any machine it has been installed on.
