How do I create a drop shadow that is tight to the letters in Illustrator?

How do I create a drop shadow on some letters that is tight to the letters but still has a nice soft blur (like PS does) in Illustrartor?

Guess what? I fixed it. All is well. And I SINCERELY appreciate all your help. You have restored my faith in Adobe products! I could not get any help from their tech support in India. They are clueless about everything and take up an inordinate amount of time wanting to come inside your computer each time to answer the simplest questions. I have been using PS and Illustrator since 1988 and Tech Support for Adobe used to cost $500.a  year and it was well worth every penny. I would pay it and the techs were fantastic. Those people in India are ridiculous. I was considering buying my software outright. Seriously. So thank you very much!

  • How do you create a drop shadow on FONT?

    I see how you create drop shadows on images but it does not seem to work for me when I want to create a drop shadow on my font.  Is there a way to do this using MUSE?  I don't want to have to use Fireworks to create an image of my font with a drop shadow.
    Thanks.

    Hi Katie,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Numbers '09 forum.
    Numbers vocabulary for this feature is a "Pop-up Menu". It's available as a Cell Format, and is set and edited in the Cell Format Inspector.
    See "Using a Checkbox, Slider, Stepper, or Pop-Up Menu in Table Cells" starting on page 96 of the Numbers '09 User Guide.

  • How to create a drop shadow? Can't find filters.

    I'm using Flash CS5 on Macintosh.
    Googling has led me to maybe a dozen tutorials on creating a drop shadow in Flash, so I understand how the procedure is supposed to work. Select the object and then look for "Filters" and apply the "Drop shadow" filter. Simple enough.
    But it seems that you can only apply a filter to an "object." The things I've been trying to create a shadow on are of type "drawing object." Everything else I've tried to create or import has some other name, and none of them have the Filters menu.
    I'm embarrassed to have to ask about something that should be (and according to all the tutorials is) drop-dead simple, but I just don't see any way to create a drop shadow in Flash.
    Can anyone steer me in the direction away from ignorance?

    Okaaay, so I create a "Movie Clip" symbol. Now I have the following:
    Position and Size
    3D Position and View
    Color Effect
    Display
    When I create a button symbol my options are
    Position and Size
    Color Effect
    Display
    Tracking
    I notice that "Display" though listed, tells me it's not supported in  Flash Player 6 and that I have to change my target. Would "Filters"  either be inside Display or hidden because my target is not modern  enough?

  • How do I include a drop shadow effect when I import an Illustrator vector into Edge Animate?

    How do I include a drop shadow effect when I import an Illustrator vector into Edge Animate? It should be noted that I also have another effect (an extrude & bevel) applied which does copy over when I paste (or create an SVG and import) into Edge Animate. Any thoughts on why the drop shadow disappears but the extrude & bevel carries over?

    Which version of Illustrator are you using?
    In earlier versions of Illustrator it is not that easy to apply drop shadows with spot colours.
    Another reason why it's always important to tell which version of AI … well …

  • How do I create a drop down list to e-mail a form for signature.

    The desired workflow is for
    1)      Firefighter 1 to complete the top portion of the Agreement
    section, sign in the Firefighter 1 signature field (which locks the top
    portion of the Agreement Section), then select Firefighter 2 from the
    e-mail drop down list and e-mail the PDF form to Firefighter 2;
    2)      Firefighter 2 opens the e-mail and the PDF attachment,
    completes the second portion of the Agreement Section, sign in the
    Firefighter 2 signature field (which locks the bottom portion of the
    Agreement Section), select Lieutenant 1 from the e-mail drop down list
    and e-mail the PDF form to Lieutenant 1;
    3)      Lieutenant 1 opens the e-mail and the PDF attachment, checks
    the approved box, signs the Lieutenant 1 signature field, select
    Lieutenant 2 from the e-mail drop down list and e-mail the PDF form to
    Lieutenant 2;
    4)      Step three continues through Lieutenant 2, Battalion Chief 1
    and Battalion Chief 2
    5)      Battalion Chief 2 sends the fully completed form back to
    Firefighter 1 who copies the completed form to Firefighter 2
    Note: if any of the officers disapprove the agreement the disapproved
    form is immediately sent back to Firefighter 1

  • How can i create a drop down menu for set qty in my store?

    I'm wondering how i can create a drop down menu for the qty module that sits on the individual product page. My client sells in quantities of 6 packs. I currently have the minimum order at 6 but i would like to give consumers the option for 6,12,18...and so forth. I was told that it could be accomplished? Hopefully someone can help me.

    Hi Chris -
    Thank you for your reply! I had seen your article before, and just now again attempted to follow it, but I get stuck. There are two things that I'm confused by.
    First off, toward the top, referring to the initial button, you say to add this interaction:
    ON CLICK; Play Transition to comboBox: selected
    ON ROLL OUT; Play Transition to comboBox normal if comboBox is in over state
    ON ROLL OVER; Play Transition to comboBox over if comboBox is in normal
    However, I do not see these transition options. When I select the button, the only interactions I have are to Play transistion to state, Play action sequence, Go to URL, and two for videos. So that's the first roadblock for me.
    But, trying to get passed that, I went down to the portion of the article that refers to adding interaction to the dataset items. Again, I don't get it, as I see no way to add interaction to a dataset item. When I open my design-time data menu, I do see the items, and am able to rename each item, add additional rows, and change the shape of the datalist layout. However, I see no way to add an interaction to a dataset item. I must be missing a step ... Can you help with this?
    Again, thank you!

  • How do I create a 1d array that takes a single calculation and insert the result into the first row and then the next calculation the next time the loop passes that point and puts the results in thsecond row and so on until the loop is exited.

    The attached file is work inprogress, with some dummy data sp that I can test it out without having to connect to equipment.
    The second tab is the one that I am having the problem with. the output array from the replace element appears to be starting at the index position of 1 rather than 0 but that is ok it is still show that the new data is placed in incrementing element locations. However the main array that I am trying to build that is suppose to take each new calculation and place it in the next index(row) does not ap
    pear to be working or at least I am not getting any indication on the inidcator.
    Basically what I am attempting to do is is gather some pulses from adevice for a minute, place the results for a calculation, so that it displays then do the same again the next minute, but put these result in the next row and so on until the specifiied time has expired and the loop exits. I need to have all results displayed and keep building the array(display until, the end of the test)Eventually I will have to include a min max section that displays the min and max values calculated, but that should be easy with the min max function.Actually I thought this should have been easy but, I gues I can not see the forest through the trees. Can any one help to slear this up for me.

    I didn't really have time to dig in and understand your program in depth,
    but I have a few tips for you that might things a bit easier:
    - You use local variables excessively which really complicates things. Try
    not to use them and it will make your life easier.
    - If you flowchart the design (very similar to a dataflow diagram, keep in
    mind!) you want to gather data, calculate a value from that data, store the
    calculation in an array, and loop while the time is in a certain range. So
    theres really not much need for a sequence as long as you get rid of the
    local variables (sequences also complicate things)
    - You loop again if timepassed+1 is still less than some constant. Rather
    than messing with locals it seems so much easier to use a shiftregister (if
    absolutely necessary) or in this case base it upon the number of iterations
    of the loop. In this case it looks like "time passed" is the same thing as
    the number of loop iterations, but I didn't check closely. There's an i
    terminal in your whileloop to read for the number of iterations.
    - After having simplified your design by eliminating unnecessary sequence
    and local variables, you should be able to draw out the labview diagram.
    Don't try to use the "insert into array" vis since theres no need. Each
    iteration of your loop calculates a number which goes into the next position
    of the array right? Pass your result outside the loop, and enable indexing
    on the terminal so Labview automatically generates the array for you. If
    your calculation is a function of previous data, then use a shift register
    to keep previous values around.
    I wish you luck. Post again if you have any questions. Without a more
    detailed understanding of your task at hand it's kind of hard to post actual
    code suggestions for you.

  • How do I add a drop shadow to the page in Muse?

    How can I apply a drop shadow to the page template in Muse? If I place a rectangle it will not change shape according to the page size. Is this a feature?

    Hello,
    You're most possibly referring to "Favicons", and they can be added in a Muse site from the "File -> Site Properties -> Layout" section. Check this screenshot: http://jingsite.businesscatalyst.com/jing/2013-09-05_2332.png

    PDF files do not have a "resolution" - they aren't images. The pages are a mix of vector art and text, and raster (pixel-based) graphics. The raster items on a page can (and often do) have different resolutions.

    There are a couple of approaches you could try.
    Clipping paths
    1. Draw the part shape as a closed path.
    2. Position the image of woodgrain above or below the shape where you want it positioned.
    3. Cut
    4. Select the closed path.
    5. Paste Inside.
    See: Using FreeHand MX > Contents > Working with Objects > Working with clipping paths
    Tiled fills
    1. Use autotrace to trace the image of the woodgrain, using plenty of colors.
    Using FreeHand MX > Contents > Using Imported Artwork > Tracing bitmaps > Tracing an image
    2. Group the traced paths (but not the image) and create a tiled fill,

    3. Make a style from a tile-filled object
    4. Apply the style to other objects.

  • How to achieve this specific drop shadow effect?

    Dear all,

    Kasyan,
    I generally just use the basic feather. I draw the object with a few clicks of the pen, fill with whatever color, set the tint if desired, then use settings more or less as below.
