How to insert a mailto: tag using Illustrator CS6?

I am creating an online ad and need to insert a mailto: tag. What is the best way to do this using Illustrator CS6? The final needs to be delivered as a png file.

Hi Larry, yea I looked into the capability of the PNG file format and realize that this was going to be an issue.
I was really hoping that someone knew a workaround using slices or exporting the file a certain way. Yet another issue Adobe should address considering the trend towards online media.
Thanks for your help.

    how do i use illustrator cs6 classroom in a book?

    Do you have a copy of Illustrator installed?
    Then just begin at page 1, read it and practice what you read. Step by step.
    If you don't understand parts of it, dive into the manual as well or ask a question in this forum. But mind that not everybody has a copy of the Classroom in a book. So you need to ask your questions precisely and post screenshots of your artwork.

  • Using Illustrator CS6, how to preserve drawn colors when Save For Web to PNG?

    Using Illustrator CS6 on Mac OSX 10.9.1:
    step 1. I open a new file for Web profile.
    step 2. I verify that File > Document Color Mode is RGB.
    step 3. I draw a square and set it's color to 0,103,197 (decimal).
    step 4. I click File > Save For Web
    step 5. In the popup that opens, I set to PNG-24, and verify the option Convert To sRGB is not selected.
    step 6. Using the Mac's DigitalColorMeter, I observe the color is 0,109,191 in the Save For Web popup. If I save it, then open the saved PNG file, it's color is also 0,109,191.
    How to do this so the colors don't change?
    step 7. I close Save For Web popup.
    step 8. I verify Edit > Color Settings for Working Spaces is set to Monitor RGB, and that the Color Management Policies for RGB is off.
    step 9. I verify Edit > Assign Profile is set to Don't Color Manage This Document.
    step 10. I verify View > Proof Colors is off.
    Can anyone provide a set of Illustrator CS6 settings that let me save a PNG image with the same colors it's drawn in so I can use that PNG image in a website?
    I must be missing something obvious, because anyone working in web design must do this day in and day out, please let me know what procedure people follow to achieve this.
    UPDATE:
    Using the above procedure DOES preserve the colors when embedding the PNG image in a webpage viewed in Firefox and Chome, but NOT for Safari. Also, the colors are not preserved in Mac's Preview software, as well as Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac.
    I'm pretty new to all this. Hoping someone can provide some perspective on what typical procedure people use for web development when working with colors in Illustrator CS6.

  • How do I do borderless printing in illustrator CS6 version 8?

    How do I do borderless printing in illustrator CS6 version 8? I'm sure its really simple but I cant seem to work it out

    As Doug said, this entirely depends on your printer and its driver, not on any specific setting in AI. Naturally it helps to work to spec and use a suitable artboard size, but beyond that you can't influence this much in AI.

  • Hi. I'm using illustrator cs6 on pc. I've made a scientific figure for a paper and now I'm trying to export as a png or save for microsoft office. Despite my figure being in the middle of my artboard, it always comes out bottom left in the png file or jpg

    Hi. I'm using illustrator cs6 on pc. I've made a scientific figure for a paper and now I'm trying to export as a png or save for microsoft office. Despite my figure being in the middle of my artboard, it always comes out bottom left in the png file or jpg. Must be making a school boy error! Please help!

    In similar cases, my solution is to "select all" then "deselect" only the artwork I want to keep and "delete". If I'm curious I may "cut" then "paste" to see what shows up in the center of the screen. it is usually some stray point. or other element out direct sight.

  • Printing problems using Illustrator CS6 (Mac)

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble using Illustrator CS6. I just bought an HP LaserJet CP1025nw color printer. My operating system is Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    I've printed two different format files (.ai and .png) in Illustrator, but there are white lines (without printing) ocurring in the exact same place on both documents, this only happens in Illustrator, not Photoshop or any other software. I did a test using exactly the same .png file in many applications, except for Illustrator, the file is printed perfectly.
    I asked HP for help, but they say this is a problem caused by Illustrator CS6 and they can't do anything about it.
    What can I do to solve this problem? Could you please help me?
    I've already installed the latest update of this software.
    Thanks in advance.

    hong,
    You need to ClickDrag just a tiny bit, then apply the Shift Option Command.

  • How to insert automatic, serial numbering in Illustrator CS, v. 11

    I am trying to create a series of raffle tickets and would like to have each ticket identified with a unique number, generated in order--so that the first ticket reads "number 1", the second ticket reads "number 2", etc. I know how to do this sort of thing in word-processing programs, but I can't find instructions on how to do this in Illustrator. I am working on Windows XP and am using Illustrator CS, version 11. I would be grateful for some guidance. Thanks.

    There is no such feature in Illustrator.
    However,
    this page
    describes an AI Javascript I hacked out for a similar purpose. Take a look at the scripts named JET_SerialNumbers.jsx and JET_NumberedCallouts.jsx.
    Alternatively, since you know how to do it a word processor, etc., you can also do it using FillDown in Excel, copy and paste into Illustrator:
    1. Open a new Excel file.
    2. In the first cell, type "Number 1".
    3. In the next cell below, type "Number 2".
    4. Select both cells. Drag the Fill Down handle downward as many rows as you want.
    5. Select the column. Copy.
    6. Switch to Illustrator. Paste. Ungroup.

    Once you've configured the external content type, you can interact with it using the BDC Object Models available to you.  You can use server side or client side and interact with the database without an external list.

  • I need to learn how to use Illustrator CS6

    I have tried to access both the help topics and the video tutorials for Illustrator CS6.  Help topics always have no listing for learning how to use the program.  And the video tutorials will not run.

    What does that mean "will not run?" Any error? Doesn't show? No sound?
    Which system? Which browser? Which page exactly?

  • How to create nested xml tags using java parser?

    Hi,
    I need to create a xml file containing following tags using java program-
    <A attr1="abc">
    <B attr2="xyz">
    <C attr3="pqr"> </C>
    </B>
    </A>
    Can anyone please let me know which parser should I use to create the above mentioned xml file?
    If possible, please post a code snippet for the same.
    Thanks in advance..

    Well, you could start by doing it all the 'old fashioned' way; create a String object containing that text and then write it away to a file. Or you could take the time to look at the javadoc for all of the xml support that the Java language itself supplies - XMLReader/Writer for a start. After that put together some code that you think would do the job and ask for help on any specific problems you encounter.

  • Use illustrator CS6 Windows in a  Mac ? I've got a pc and want to work on an imac, but is there no way to use my softwares adobe windows ?

    Hi.
    All is in the title.
    If anyone could answer me.
    I've got a licence illustrator CS6 windows,  and It would sound me incredible, not to be possible use it on mac.
    Thanks a lot.
    Aurélien

    Thanks a lot Mylenium.
    Another question, please : I still have a little doubt with terms (I'm french and my english is not perfect). If I request a platform swap for Illustrator CS6, the new platform product still will be a CS6 ? Because switch to the new version CC would be as if I hadn't yet bought a licence (a subscription would mean pay twice...).
    Thank you for your answer.

  • How do I restore default preferences with Illustrator CS6 in Mac with Mavericks (10.9.2)?

    In Library/Preferences I don't have the Adobe Illustrator Settings.
    I tried the Find command to search for Illustrator Prefs, but can't see it.
    If I were to find it, the Illustrator CS6 Classroom in a Book tells me to copy the file and save it to another folder in the hard disk? This I don't understand. 
    Thanks!

    PA,
    When you mean start up is opening Illustrator, right?
    Right.
    The quick and easy way to restore default preferences is the Cmd+Option+Shift.
    If you have customized your preference settings and wish to be able to get them back, you can use the Move the folder way which will save them so you can move them back and thereby regain your customized settings.
    For your present use, Cmd+Option+Shift is the obvious choice.
