How do I create a cut-path ONLY on the outer edge of my vector image?

Okay, I have a dilemma. This could be one of those things that is so simple when explained, but at this moment in time it has me scratching my head.
Here I have a vector image. The pink stroke is a cut path that the software I use at work recognises and cuts. (Used for vinyl decals/stickers etc). All the lines highlighted in pink is useless to me, as it would cut out each individual line.
All I need is the outer edge of the entire graphic.
Note my crudely drawn red lines that border the image, that is exactly what I need. As you can see, the paths run through the image. BUT...When I try to erase the paths using add anchor point then cut path at selected anchor points so I can remove that particular segment, the colour essentially "leaks" as it isn't a closed area anymore. Rasterizing the image destroys the quality and I would like to be able to perform this task without loss of quality.
If anybody could help, I'd be eternally grateful!
Thanks,
Ben

Ben,
As far as I can see there are three sets of pink strokes, and I guess you wish to use the outermost one and have it form one continuous path round everything and in the hole between the letters.
Presuming you have the other strokes under control, you may be able to copy everything to the top of the stacking order and then, with all the copies selected, Pathfinder>Unite to get that compound path with pink stroke and no fill, which you may then split into one path for the outside and one path for the hole if needed.

  • HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

    iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.  I've seen reference to the  "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app.  I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for.  I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

  • How can I create a card with only a picture on the front - inside blank

    How can I create a card that only has a picture on the front and the inside is blank?

    Use the Holiday Colors theme for a folded card.  For the outside select the layout that just includes a full page photo. For the inside select the layout that suits your eye..
    As far as the text boxes are concerned just put a single space in them and then order.

  • How do I create a rule that only applies to one mailbox?

    How do I create a rule that only applies to one mailbox? For example deleting the messages in the box after 10 days.

    You don't.  Rules are applied only to new incoming messages, or manually to the selected messages.  They cannot be used to delete messages after an amount of time.  You could create an AppleScript or Automator action that would do that and then use a recurring event in iCal to run that script.

  • How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

    How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

    You need to use LiveCycle (PC Only) to create a dynamic form like that.
    The best you can do with Acrobat to view all of the text in a field is to set the field to multiline, and set the size to "Auto" (If you don't set the size to 'Auto', you can enter as much text as you wish, but the user will need to use the scrollbar to view all of the text.)

    How to delete photos from camera roll only, let the rest remain in albums? Is there any no-PC or no iTunes solution for this?

    If these are albums, you created on your phone, using pics in your camera roll, you delete the pics from your camera roll & they will be deleted from the albums as well. The albums don't actually contain any photos, only pointers to the actual photos, which are in your camera roll.
    So, the answer to your question is no.

    Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
    The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it.  Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
    Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site.  If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side.

  • How can I create a scrolling effect where when the user scrolls down the image will blur out?

    How can I create a scrolling effect where when the user scrolls down the image will blur out?

    Hi there,
    You can create a scroll motion where the image will fade out on scrolling, you need to use the Opacity tab under Scroll Effects Panel.
    If you particularly need the image to be blur out, then you need to edit that image in any image editing program and make one copy of that image as blurred, then place both images (actual and blurred) on that page and use scroll motion or fade option to replace images.

  • Adjustment brush is only working on the outer edge of all of my photos, why?

    I've just downloaded LR 4, watched tutorials but my adjustment brush only works on the outer edge of my photos.  The brush changes to an arrow when I move towards the center of the photo.  Why?

    Thank you so much.
    I took this and wrapped it all in an if statement.
    Since Liability_Continued was my master page, the script ended up looking similar to this:
    if (xfa.datasets.data.job.data.state.value == "NY"){
    var oMaster = xfa.resolveNodes("Liability_Continued");
    for (var i=0; i<oMaster.length; i++)  {
         oMaster.item(i).footer.liabilityFooterBig.presence = "visible";
         oMaster.item(i).footer.liabilityFooter.presence = "invisible";
