I created a logo on illustrator made of three layers. the file is still on ai format. Now I am ready

Also I am creating a business card using adobe illustrator. I already have the logo in ai format. Now after I create all the design do I need to flatten the
card lay out or do I just take it to the print shop in AI format

Dont flatten the layers, the print may want to add a die. I would also save a copy as .pdf format, as some printers just want to palce teh file, without spending time on missing fonts or placed images.
So bring 2 versions of the same file, a .ai along with a .pdf. Then also gather your fonts and placed images.

I created a logo in photoshop, i rasterized some of the font to edit.. the logo is perfect and crisp

i created a logo in photoshop, i rasterized some of the font to edit.. the logo is perfect and crisp in photoshop, its set to 300 dpi. i was told by factory that will be printing the logo that it will be done through illustartor and when i open with illustrator the rasterized text and other text are not clear but when i set the dpi to 72 dpi it is clear in illustrator. my question is will this photoshop file print clearly at 300 dpi with illustrator?

Trying to resolve problems like this with only generic input is difficult. It is much better if you were to provide screen shots of your particular documents or other numeric data. Under the circumstances, here is the best advice I can offer.
Within Photoshop the "dpi" setting (should be ppi or pixels per inch) is only meta data that comes into play when you try and produce a print of some sort. Since you are intending to print, this setting matters, but the pixel count in the image also matters. What you should do is first determine your print size, lets say 3 inches by 2 inches as an example. At 300 pixels per inch you want to create your Photoshop document to be 900 pixels by 300 pixels.
Create your logo artwork and text within Photshop. Ideally, both would be vector entities, that is, made up of shape layers and normal text layers. The text should not be rasterized unless there is some compelling need. If you do something like warping text it will remain vectorized in Photoshop, but will be rasterized when digested by Illustrator. You can then save your psd file and it should print fine at its intended size, from Illustrator. When you open the psd file into Illustrator choose the "Convert Layers to Objects" option otherwise it will enter as a single layer image (rasterized). I suggest you make test prints with your desktop printer using both Photoshop & Illustrator
to monitor the results of using Illustrator as a print engine. I would typically do the opposite and use Photoshop as a print engine for Illustrator documents.

Create a derived column based on a value within the file name

I am importing a CSV file which is easy enough, but I have an issue where I need to manufacture a couple of column values based on the filename of the input. So this same process will import different types of records to the same table in sql server.
I need to pull out the record code from the file name.
For instance, say I can use the same package to input two different CSV files. One is named Input_M02_Data.csv and one named Input_B15_Data.csv. I need to create a derrived column and store the record code there (i.e.: M02 or B15) based
on which file it came out of.
fyi-
I also need to create a second column for Dept based off of the file name as well. M02 is dept 45 and B15 is dept 99 which I also need to insert into this table when I import the data from the .csv file.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Jason,
According to your description, you want to add two derived columns based on the file name to also insert into table. One stores the value between two “_” within file name, another stores the department based on that column.
If in this scenario, we can add a variable FileName that stores the filename, then add the two variables as derived columns like below in the Derived Column Transformation:
Name:
SUBSTRING(@[User::FileName],FINDSTRING(@[User::FileName],"_",1)+1,FINDSTRING(@[User::FileName],"_",2)-(FINDSTRING(@[User::FileName],"_",1)+1))
Dept:
@[User::Name] =="M02"?"dept 45":@[User::Name] =="B15"?"dept 99":"dept 00"
The following screenshot is for your reference:

To use servlets u have indeed to update your web.xml...Well I'm not sure this is relevant to your case anyway.
You have to add a <servlet> element to this file.
Something like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>blabla</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>blablapackage.Blablaclass</servlet-class>
<init-param>...</init-param>
</servlet>
Now this may not solve your problem. Make sure you refer to your servlets using their full qualified names.btw, just to be sure, what is your definition of "servlet"? (i mean: any java class or only javax.servlet.Servlet)

Illustrator cs5 can't saved the file or unknown error when save

Hello,
I have couple of brand new Mac OS X 10.6.4 with Adobe Ilustrator CS5 running on Intel Xeon Quad Core and 3GB of RAM.
All updates including OS have been applied recently. For some reasons, the file that was worked on any of this computer can't be saved to any other format other than illustrator template itself. When saved, it either just crashed or gave an error "an unknown error has occured".
So, I save the file as template and tested on the PC configure that has 8GB of RAM, Intel Quad Core and still couldn't save the file into .ai format. Same error was given.
I tested the illustrator on mac with few simple lines or vector graphics and it could save fine.
I thought it was the file itself but it appeared to be not. Due to, same design method was produced on the old mac os system with cs2 worked fine.
Does anyone know what is wrong? I called the Adobe techs and they transfered me to someone in India who didn't know what causing it either.

Also, I tried to reset the prefs and settings, uninstall with cleaner tool and reinstall, reload the transparent setting, etc.. including some steps the adobe techs told me.
It still gave same error.

Live tracing a white png logo in Illustrator CC - can't see the results because of white Artboard

Hi, I am fairly new to Illustrator. I have a white png logo (with transparent background) that I need to Image Trace to create a vector version of it. However every time I import the png into Illustrator it opens it on a white artboard so I cannot see the logo. I cannot see any options to change the transparency of the artboard. Does anyone know the best way to overcome this?

I believe the last word in post #2 should be trace.
Actually not, because you first need to rasterize before you can trace.

In addition, Julieanne shows how to add a scan of your signature to any photograph with a simple change of a layer blend mode.

I created my first 'test' logo and it worked just fine...thank you. I am trying to create an improved version, however, when I attempt to select the text to copy & paste it into the work path, I get continually get a pop-up message that "the point you clicked is not inside the vector mask of a visible layer." I have watched the video OVER and OVER thinking that I missed a step, but....not. I'm tearing my hair out! HELP!!

Can i create program, using Adobe Illustrator SDK, which would understand *.ai file format (cs versi

I need to write converter from cs ai files to my own format.
Can i use Adobe Illustrator SDK for creating such a program?
Is there in SDK libraries, which would be used for reading by program cs ai file format?
Must Adobe Illustrator be installed for such a program would work?

Well, if Idraw can do it you would need to figure out which format it likes (probably tiff would be my guess), save in that format and open the image there and proceed with however it works. The only useful advice I can offer is that jpg is a poor choice for any image that includes text. It will be fuzzy.

When iTunes creates an iTunes library, does it copy all of the files?

Or does it just create a pathway to those files? I remember waaaaaaaay back when I tried putting my library into iTunes, it physically copied every single file and filled up my harddrive. That was years ago, granted. But I'm still gunshy about it happening again. I would hope they've fixed it by now.
Also, will iTunes be able to understand where my files are if they're located on an external harddrive? I keep all of my music on a WD Passport external drive and I plug and unplug it a lot. Will it be able to keep up with that these days?
Thanks.

It depends on how you have iTunes' preferences set. If you just use the default preferences, iTunes will copy any tracks you add into its own library folders. If you want to keep your tracks on your external drive, just turn off the "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" the iTunes -> Advanced preferences. You will also want to turn off the "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" option in the same preference. Then when you use the Add To Library command, iTunes will link to the tracks on your external drive rather than copying them to the internal.
You'll want to set the location of the iTunes Music folder in that same preference pane to your external drive if you want future purchases from the iTunes Store and imports from CD to be stored on your external as well.
Regards.

I want to create a text box so people can write in the document while still securing the header/footer so that no one can edit those.

I am trying to create a PDF with a letterhead. I want people to be able to use the document, but I want to secure the letterhead (header/footer) so no one can touch those.

Tools>Forms>Create. Select from existing document (if you select from blank page it takes you to Forms Central). This should put you in the forms edit mode when done. From the Add new field, select text field. That should do the job.

I created an Iphoto book...can I move the files

I created a book in Iphoto at work. I want to move this book/file to my computer at home. Has anyone had this happen to them? Is there a way to do this without recreating the book?
Thanks

Jonathan,
Old Toad likes to do this for each of his books, which he burns to DVD in case he wants to reorder in the future. It is a good way to ensure that you don't accidentally remove or edit a photo that would adversely affect the book.
Here's another cool tip from Old Toad. When the book is done he chooses Print. Inside the Print menu are PDF options. He does a "PDF to iPhoto" which makes a PDF of each book page, then imports them as jpegs into your library. Then he uses those jpegs in iDVD to create a slideshow version of the book, which he gives along with the book to the recipient. (Now I see you read this idea in another thread. Sorry, I didn't mean to repeat myself.)
I run my library from an external hard drive (it's too big for my mini's internal drive) and back up that entire drive to another external drive. I haven't yet felt the need to divide my library into multiples. I like that I can access all my photos from the same place, so all are available to me when I create a project like a calendar or book. A disadvantage to keeping multiple libraries is that only the most recently opened library will appear in the Media Pane of the other iLife apps (iMovie, iDVD, etc.) On the other hand, I have opened an old book to find a few photos missing. I had to go through the book and restore all the photos to it, and I still don't know why they disappeared from the book because they remained in my library the entire time. Fixing the book was easy enough, because I had the paper copy as a reference. So I can see how keeping a book and its library on DVD would be a great extra safety net. Of course, backing up the entire library is essential. I think Apple's answer to this is Time Machine in Leopard, and not with any feature of iPhoto itself.
Regards.
