How to convert text to outline in photoshop elements 11

I need to give my business card file to my printer to print, and for some reason I cannot find the convert text to shape option (it is not visible under layer-type as all my googling suggests). I basically need to do this as the printer doesnt have my font.
Thanks so much.

That option is one of the many tools provided by the affordable Elements+ add-on:

  • Acrobat Pro 10.1.2, unable to convert text to outlines

    Hello,
    Since updating to Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.2 on Mac OS X 10.7.2, I am unable to use the flattner preview to convert text to outlines. The dialog box appears, and there are no error messages, but upon comleting the same steps I've been using for years (including last week), text is not converted to outlines. It just isn't working. There is no feedback, or error message. I have tried restarting the computer and that did not help. I will try deleting the preferences. Anyone else have this problem, or have a fix for it?
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    Thank you for the suggestion, but unfortunately that did not solve my problem.
    I use the flatner preview to covert text to outlines so that I can edit PDF files when I do not have the original fonts - and so that I don't have to use replacement fonts. Editing the text isn't necessary in this case so converting the text to curves is not a problem.
    Unfortunately, I am still without a solution. I really don't want to rasterize the file (convert to bitmap) because I would like to keep it in a vector format for editing in Illustrator.

  • When I convert text to outlines, some letters, usually S, looks different. The top part of the S is moved down. Why does this happen?

    This is what happens when I convert text to outlines. Can someone please explain why this happens and what I can do to fix it? Thanks!

    You are welcome. What is most likely happening is whoever designed the font, has some garbage stray points, or an extra copy of the paths underneath.
    You will usually see this only on free fonts, and not from a major font foundry.

  • How do I get imovie to use Photoshop Elements 12 as external editor?

    How do I get imovie to use Photoshop Elements 12 as external editor? I am making a movie slide show with music from my Caribbean vacation photos and adding text captions to photos in PS Elements 12. I can also add some effects to photos like edge blur although I like iphotos effects better but iphoto doesn't seem to do text. The finished PS Elements photo doesn't seem to want to be shared by iphoto which is what imovie uses...
    I am still learning to use PS Elements 12 for Mac (had PSE 7 for WinVista but wasn't proficient) and Mac and it's programs are new to me. I switch between my old Dell which is still amped for graphics and the new Mac mini. I started to use Movie Maker to do my vacation project but read that imovie was better but so far it doesn't seem to have as broad of file useage when it comes to imovie and photo files.
    Hmmmmm??? What to do?

    You simply need to create your stills with Photoshop Elements, save them in a suitable format (.jpg, .png, .tiff are all acceptable) then drag and drop them into your iMovie timeline.  You don't have to use iPhoto.

  • How do I save my setup for Photoshop Elements 11 that I created for category - sub-category - Keyword Tags

    how do I save my setup for Photoshop Elements 11 that I created for category - sub-category - Keyword Tags  I would like to use the setup for other Photoshop Elements

    First are you going to use the same keyword/categories hierarchy in the same Elements version (or newer)? If so, using the backup/restore process will also restore your hierarchy.
    If you want to create the same hierarchy in an older Elements version, it's possible to save that hierarchy in a special text file and to restore it in the new catalog in the destination computer. It's also possible to restore it in another catalog in the same computer.
    Look at the title bar of the keywords panel. Next to the '+' sign on the right, you see a small icon which opens a menu offering the option to save or to restore the text file.

    Sorry, but this is one of the very hard lines that Adobe draws between PS and PSE. You simply can't do it in PSE, because they want you to buy PS for that.

  • How to transfer the photo captions from Photoshop Elements 12 organizer to Adobe Revel albums ?

    How to transfer the photo captions from Photoshop Elements 12 organizer to Adobe Revel albums ?

    Thks for the contribution. However, it seems I cannot solve my problem with the kindly proposed solution.
    Let me rephrase my problem:
    I off-line prepare, organize photos and also add manually individual photo captions with PE12 Organizer. In the properties panel, I can check that the photo properties (including captions) are properly associated with the photo.
    However when I upload on Revel -directly with PE12 Organizer (selecting Share/Private Web Album)- these individual (accordingly captioned) photos or albums, I cannot find the photo captions (i.e. the photo caption did not directly show up with the photo in Revel). This obliges me to a double work by copying  and pasting each photo caption.
    Is there any plan to get rid of that ?
    Let me add that I am using the French version of PE12
