How do I convert coloring book page to live paint group?

Have coloring book and clip art image. How do I color them?

Here are the steps you can use.
Step 1: Create a new Illustrator document and insert the scan / photo of the image.
File > New
File > Place, navigate to the image, select it, click Place
Click and drag on the page to insert the image.
Step 2: Turn the pixel based image into Illustrator vector art
With the Selection tool, click on the Image to the select it.
Display the Image Trace panel (Window > Image Trace).
From the Preset menu choose an option that closest resembles your image trace requirement, and select Preview and click Trace.
Check the results, and make adjustments to the settings as required.
Once you're happy with the result, in the Control panel, click Expand. Note that once you expand the Image Trace you will no longer be able to adjust the trace settings, and you've created Illustrator vector art.
Step 3: Change the artwork to a Live Paint group and start colouring.
Select the vector art, and choose Object > Live Paint > Make.
You can now use the Live Paint Bucket and Live Paint Selection Tool to colour your artwork.

How to batch-convert 500 pdf pages into individual jpg files?

They are all in the same hard drive folder (if that helps . . .)
Thanks

Thank you so much . . . yes, the answer "staring me in the face".
Great advice.
After combining the pdf files into a SINGLE document . . . I just selected "SAVE-AS" . . . and selected "jpg" as the format.
Acrobat automatically created 500 individual jpg files.

How to feather lines of live paint group to achieve custom shadows?

Hi all,
So I'm pretty sure you can't actually feather lines in a live paint group, but I don't know how else to do this. I have a picture all colored in with live paint group and stuff, and I want to add shadows to certain shops, much like the apple has shadows on it in this tutorial from adobe (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/illustrator/cs/using/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-61d8a .html). I tried making a live paint group on a new layer and then feathering it, but that feathers everything, I only want one edge feathered.
Sorry if I'm not being super clear, it's a lot like the black shadowing on that apple.
Thanks

Yopu would have to expand the relevant parts so you get separate objects for further treatment....

How do I convert my book cover pdf and text pdf to grayscale?

1 ) How do I convert my photoshop book cover pdf to CMYK and remove all color and 2) How do I convert my Indesign text pdf file 'to grayscale for all black and whit images'?

Hello Mylenium, thank you for responding. My query has to do with the fact that it is already in pdf mode and it needs to be sent to the book printer. They will only accept the file in grayscale for the text matter file and the colored cover file needs to be in CMYK. I can't seem to correct the issue with everything internally that I've done. I currently have Acrobat XI and the tutorial creation files are in an earlier screen. So, the flow is not the same. I do not see the flow of conversion in the Ac. XI as they show in their creation file demands. Does this make sense?

I have some documents from apple works from OSX how can I convert them in Pages in OS Maverick? Thanks Harold

How can I convert documents from apple works to pages in OSX Mavericks? Harold

If you're using a version of Pages prior to 5.0, it can import AppleWorks 6 word processing documents directly. Otherwise, reopen them in AppleWorks and export them in a format that Pages can read; for Pages 5.0, those are listed here.

How do I convert color image to color vector?

Hi,
Im fairly new/not very well versed in Illustrator, I was wondering if you guys could help me with instructions or tips how to convert old alphabet art to color and actualy converting color images like drawings to vector . Ive tried image trace but it turns the image black and white and with really rough strokes.
Thank you!

Is this art in the Public Domain? Or, do you have the copyright owner's permission to use it in your work? If the answer to both of these questions is no, then you should not be using it.
That being said, I got good results with image trace (using the High Fidelity Photo preset) even on the low-res image you attached here. You just have to adjust the preferences after you do the trace.

How Apply Paper Swatch color on page

Hi Experts
I want to apply Paper Swatch color on page.
I try this to set Paper Swatch color but not sucess.
#target indesign
var myDocument = app.documents.add();
var myPages = myDocument.pages;
var myPage = myPages.item(0);
var swatchclr=app.activeDocument.swatches.itemByName("Paper").properties = {space:ColorSpace.RGB, model:ColorModel.PROCESS};
swatchclr.colorValue=[255,150,0];
There is no change in Paper Swatch color value.
How apply this color on page ?
Thanks.

Hi,
Watch this line ("=" repeated):
swatchclr       =       app.activeDocument.swatches.itemByName("Paper").properties      =     {space:ColorSpace.RGB, model:ColorModel.PROCESS};
swatchclr.colorValue=[255,150,0];
So swatchclr is a swatch.properties not a swatch.
Make it:
swatchclr       =       app.activeDocument.swatches.itemByName("Paper");
swatchclr.properties      =     {space:ColorSpace.RGB, model:ColorModel.PROCESS, colorValue:[255,150,0]};

How to resize images on book pages

Friends,
My wife is making a book in Aperture (latest version). Somehow, she structured it so that each image has a border around it, like a snapshot. This probably makes sense, since her theme is "snapshots." However, she is unable to resize the images on the page. Is it possible to do so? How?
As an aside, we can add new photo boxes, but they lack a border. However, they can be resized.
Any thoughts would be helpful.
Thanks!
Steve

It is possible to resize photos with or without borders while in "Edit Layout" mode, but not in "Edit Content" mode.
To adjust and add/remove borders, click on the gear below the pages window, then click on "Show Layout Options". The options then appear above the pages window where you can adjust the size (thickness) and color of the border.
You can also rotate the photo box too, with the "Angle" setting. Increasing the angle number rotates the photo box counter clockwise, so in order to get to rotate the "other" direction you simply have to increase the angle around the higher end of a circle (360 degrees), or say 345 degrees. Play with it, it makes sense when you do it.
Hope that helps.
Bob

How can I convert files from pages 08 files without pages 09?

I am extremely dissatisfied with the latest iWork (13?) applications. My 2008 MacbookPro crashed on me, so I purchased a new 15" MacbookPro last month. Due to a known issue that prohibits my new Mac from being restored from my Time Capsule backup (thanks, Apple...), we finally got it worked out so that all my files were restored, but I had to reinstall my applications as I could find them. I had iWork 09 on my old machine, but it was from a family pack years ago, for which I do not have the discs. So, now I don't have Pages 09 to convert all my older files (I had no legitimate reason to convert my graduate work from 08 because it all worked in '08 and '09) so that I can open all my .pages files in Pages. Why would Apple make Pages that cannot open .pages files?! This is quite frustrating, and I'm hoping someone has an answer for how to convert .pages files from iWork '08 so that I can open them in the latest Pages without having to purchase iWork '09 (AGAIN!). Apple is really ramping up its leaving people behind...

Those are your choices.
Buy iWork '09 which is a good solution or somehow reinstall Pages '08 so you can export to Word .doc/x files.
We warned long and hard that not updating to Pages '09 would eventually lead to Pages '08 being left behind, although Apple was particularly ruthless the way it finally did it.
Also that anything using Apple's proprietary formats is going to end up with the same fate.

HT3384 I am using Pages v 5.2. How do I convert my older Pages documents to 5.2? When I try to open them I get a notice that I have to use a newer version, which I already have. So I have to go to the "Open with" menu and click on Pages 5.2. Happens every

Every time I want to open a document created in an older version of Pages, I have to right click and select "Open with Pages (default) (5.2). Then it will open but when I close it it is still the old version. I want to be able to simply double click the document I want and have it open. How can I make those older documents into v. 5.2? Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You are opening the old Pages version by mistake. This version is kept after installing the most recent Pages version in case you want to use it again, and I recommend you not to delete it.
I recommend you to put the new Pages version in a place where you can open it easily, for example, in the Dock. The only thing you have to do is to go to Applications folder (open a Finder window and choose Applications in the sidebar), and drag Pages to the Dock. The new Pages version has got this icon:
After putting Pages in the Dock, open it and access to all your documents. They will be converted to Pages 5.2 format if they were not opened with Pages 5.2 before.

How can I convert 75 Illustrator pages into InDesign?

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 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)? Or do I have to start all over in InDesign?
Is it just me, or are InDesign and Illustrator two halves of a single program, but don't work together? There has to be a way for the latest in two Adobe software titles to accomplish what Freehand could do ten years ago with just one program.

Illustrator and InDesign have completely different file formats because they were developed independently by different teams and for different users. Their way of handling text is also completely different. That's why they don't exchange data as well as you would like.
You could only copy small vector objects from Illustrator to InDesign, and it wouldn't retain their position so that wouldn't be practical. Formatted text can not be copied between the applications.
I would use the Place command. When you need to edit a page use the Edit Original command. You can Option/Alt-double-click on the placed AI file and it will open in Illustrator for you to make your changes. Save the changes and they will be automatically updated in InDesign.
Otherwise, you will have to recreate the entire project from scratch in InDesign.

How can I convert my web page from a fixed width layout to a fluid grid layout?

I'm taking a web design class (I'm using Dreamweaver CS6, btw) wherein the professor started us out building our websites in a fixed width layout but now I want to change my site into a fluid grid layout. My "site" so far is just one long page, and I've already designed it with fluid grid adjustments in mind (most things are centered in the layout) so it shouldn't need excessive tweaking.
Is there a way to duplicate the site folder that holds my first page, re-open a new document in fluid, then copy the code in and tweak the width parameters for the different layouts?
Did I just answer my own question? Help - I am new at this!!
Thanks all,
KC

A bit off-topic, but Osgood: have you ever used SASS or LESS? When you are building your own grid systems it can save you a tremendous amount of time, and it's a lot of fun.
Take the following simple example - it generates all the 23 css classes automatically for a 12 grid system. And simply changing one variable allows you to create and calculate any number of columns!
//variables
$desktop: 1025px;
$large-columns: 12;
@media only screen and (min-width: $desktop) {
     //regular grid span classes
    @for $i from 1 through $large-columns {
        .span-large-#{$i} {
            width: percentage($i/$large-columns);
     // push classes
    @for $i from 1 through (($large-columns)-1) {
        .push-large-#{$i} {
            margin-left: percentage($i/$large-columns);
No, not explored it yet, and may never....I don't know. I don't really make much money out of web design. It's becoming more and more difficult to find the desire to learn new techniques when the opportunities aren't really there to put them into practice on as regular basis as I would like. I've got a very good handle on css, php, html, jQuery - I'm not sure I want to add another layer at the moment, given I'm never quite sure how long I will continue to 'bang my head against the wall' . I'm getting to the stage where I keep asking myself do I really need the problems associated with learning new stuff to the point of being comfortable with it if the financial rewards at the end don't equate to the efforts of learning it.
I don't really enjoy web development if truth is known. I come from a Graphic Design background which I much prefer but somehow got side tracked and pushed in this direction and there's no way back now, lol. Whilst I concede Web Development is much more exciting its also 100 times more complex/difficult and the skills needed are considerably more.
Your example looks interesting and I should think I could pick it up reasonably easily given I work with php which uses variables on a similar basis.

How to change background color in pages

i am creating a flyer usng pages and i want to change the background color to black.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
These instructions are for Pages '09, 4.1 (923).
First Save As and give it a file name, in case you change your mind, and want to go back to what it was before you began to make color changes.
Now click on the area of color you want to change. (It could take several tries to select the area you want.)
Choose Inspector, Graphics, Fill, click the color box, and choose another color from the Color tool that opens.
Depending upon the original, you may have to select several areas in order to recolor the entire document.
