Is it possible to export to Illustrator CS

I have created some artwork in Pages, only to find out the printer will accept Illustrator CS. I know this is probably a really stupid question, but I'd rather not do the work all over again.

You are 100% right about that, and hopefully his printer has explained that to him. But, I think you gave a lecture rather than answering his question. "Is it possible to export to Illustrator CS", short answer, "no". Longer answer, "but if you export or save to a pdf, making sure to embed any fonts you may have used, then the chances are the printer will have better luck using your artwork." I think that's a better response!
This may not be the place to discuss it, but I've gotten a lot worse than word processor copy and art we for my job. Microsoft Publisher won't even work with Word, and yet we have people insisting that's all they have to send in for their "camera ready" copy. If I had a nickel for every time I've received 72dpi photos, or worse, images straight off someone's web page, for use in a printed publication, you would be reading the work of a very rich individual! In a perfect world, specifications are given to and understood by the artist before even starting the job, but it doesn't always work that way. Sometimes you just gotta shrug and say, "oh well, 'stuff' in, 'stuff' out!"

When will adobe make FLASH layers export to illustrator possible? (again)

Why oh Why is it not possible to export layers FROM Flash TO Illustrator.
Yes there are still people designing and drawing there artwork in Flash, refining them later in Illustrator.
The SVG format creates just one layer containing the flash layers as groups.
Will this again be possible? and for the time being does anyone know a easy way to separate groups into layers?
Many thanks in advance!

Select all the groups, right click>Distribute to Layers.

Is it possible to export/save Muse pages as PDF files?

As a Web Design / New Media student, the curriculum at my school teaches a combination of Illustrator, Fireworks, and Acrobat Pro for design, wireframing, and prototyping new websites. Muse seems capable of streamlining the process, but is it possible to export the file in PDF format for sharing (assignment submission; offline viewing)? Maybe after publishing, one can convert the wepage to a PDF?
Any suggestions are appreciated!

Not natively, but you can always screenshot your Design or Layout page and convert that JPG or TIFF to PDF, but Muse does not export pages in that way.

Is it possible to export multiple sections of the art board as individual PNG's?

I have an art board full of GUI buttons and each button consists of an icon and a background sitting beneath it. the back ground is just a rectangle with some shading and made into a symbol repeated over and over again incase someone wants to change the color palette of the buttons in 1 go.
Is it possible to export every button (icon and background) as its own individual png? and have each png the size of the icon rather than the art board?
The equivalent of Photoshop's Generate>Image Asset.
***one key component i really need to know is if i can also have illustrator automatically create folders for these files to be exported or generated into***
in the same way that in Photoshop, if you name a layer "Folder1/Image1.png" it will export that layer automatically as a png name Image1 inside a folder name Folder1.
Thanks!

Try export to css. I believe that is the equivalent. It will create individual png files.

Poor quality of PNGs exported from Illustrator, in documents that are then PDF'd

Hi All,
This is a strange one, which has taken up a lot of time to try to solve.
I crreated a package of variants on the company logo and exported them from Illustrator as PNGs. I even tried them at 150dpi - then 600dpi.
When I put them into MS Word or Apache Open Office documents they look perfect: sharp, crisp, perfect curves. Hurrah!
However, when I export those text documents as PDFs from MS Word or Open Office, the logos look terrible and ragged.
I have all the settings correct when I export as PDF - lossless compression, print quality etc. If the logos are SVG images [vector], they are perfect PDF'd from Open Office but I can't use those in MS Office. Aggh!
After a lot of experimentation and discussion over at Apache's forums - there was no solution, until...
I pasted the logo artwork from Illustrator into Fireworks - of all things - and saved it as a 300dpi flat PNG from Fireworks. That PNG works perfectly when in a document that's exported as a PDF. I wouldn't be at all surprised if one from Photoshop would be good too.
So - I think that - the common denominator/crux of the matter is the PNG files that are created by Illustrator. They appear great inserted into documents but don't survive a subsequent PDF export well at all.
I'd love to read any comments on this?
[Also, for laughs, I tried high res/high quality TIFFs and JPEGs from Illustrator, and had the same problem]

Hi John M,
Microsoft .WMF format. [.WTF?] is pretty good in the resultant PDF. However, when you zoom in to the PDF, the curves get a bit rounded-polygonal, in a smooth-bumpy way. Odd - not a huge issue unless people zoom in. However, it is evident if they print it. And they will.
Right. What you're seeing there is the Windows Metafile format's lack of support for bezier curves. Close inspection reveals curves that are made up of many small straight line segments.
However...
That's why I asked about platform. Running Windows, it's possible to Copy from Illustrator and Paste Special > Enhanced Metafile in MS Office apps. With that procedure, the result is vectors that land in Office without the full WMF conversion and resulting segmentation.
To demonstrate; I made a small circle in Illustrator with a black stroke and yellow fill.
1. I exported to WMF, then inserted in Word and exported to PDF.
2. I copied from Illustrator and used Paste Special > Enhanced Metafile in Word, then exported to PDF
Compare the results (zoomed to a quadrant in Acrobat):

SVG export to Illustrator?!?!

Okay okay... is it just me or is it stupid not to have SVG export to open into Illustrator but not KEEP the new Weight tool's weights when exporting to Illustrator which by Adobe's OWN admission is the same EAXACT tool!?!?! Is it just me? REALLY!?!?!
Am I just doing it wrong? Is this possible or not? So much for a 'suite'.

Semi-ignore my previous answer - figured out another work around that involves converting your slices to artboards.
After you have made all of your slices, use the Slice Selection Tool to select your first slice. Go to Object > Artboards > Convert to Artboards. This should create a new artboard out of that slice. Do this for all of your slices.
After creating new artboards from your slices, go to File > Export... and select Flash (swf) from the dropdown menu. Make sure you check the "Use Artboards" option underneath the format menu.
This process should result in individual swf files of each of your slices, along with your original image. Hope this helps!

Is it possible to export Vector Smart Objects as vector SVG files from Photoshop CC 2014?

I have Vector Smart Objects copied from Illustrator and pasted into Photoshop. I would like to export them as vector SVG files (using Generator or Extract Assets). I can add the .svg extension to the layer and actually export an SVG just fine. The problem is any SVG I have exported have all been raster images. It defeats the purpose of having that as an option as far as I'm concerned.
I remember watching and listening to keynotes and other speakers at Adobe MAX 2014 who said it was so powerful and amazing to create SVG files from Photoshop. If we're still exporting raster SVG files from Photoshop...that's not very impressive or exciting--especially since this era of modern web development benefits greatly from using vector SVG files.
I understand that Shape Layers can be exported as vector SVG files but that seems very limiting. I also realize that users can create some impressive vectors in Photoshop, but that is not optimal. Illustrator is a better tool for creating vectors and I normally use Photoshop and Illustrator side-by-side. I know that vector SVG files can be exported from Illustrator but that isn't as user friendly and convenient as utilizing Photoshop > Generator > Reflow.
My idea was to create my assets in Illustrator, paste them into Photoshop as Vector Smart Objects, set up my layout, and then use the Generator/Reflow method or Extract Assets to get a new web design started.
Maybe I misunderstood what the speakers at Adobe MAX had said. Perhaps it's just user error and I'm just missing something simple (it happens).
Photoshop CC 2014 notes the following under Help > System Info:
Adobe Photoshop Version: 2014.2.2 20141204.r.310 2014/12/04:23:59:59 CL 994532 x64
Operating System: Windows 8.1 64-bit
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your time.

Not quite the same, but have a look at the new Libraries feature that came with 2014.2.2 I just tried it, and dragging a vector object into a library I created in Photoshop, was there in Illustrator. This happens without having to close and reopen Illustrator. Just use the drop down at the top of the Libraries panel (in Illustrator) to find your custom, or job specific library.

Is it possible to export chapters into video files or final cut?

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possibly to export chapters from DVDSP of I would have to rework the chapters again when I edit. Bascially I have chapters, but they all end with a cutoff transition, I've decided to re-edit the 4 hrs of footage on final cut, but was hoping there was an easier way to have the chapters already there. Hopefully this makes sense...
Can Final Cut edit .m2v files?

No, I don't think that you can carry chapters from DVDSP into FCP. I may be wrong. You can however, do the opposite, carry chapter markers from FCP into DVDSP.
Yes, FCP can edit MPEG2.
Good luck.

Is it possible to export interactive textfields with data?

Hey guys,
I have following problem. I´m creating our variable price list for our customers. "variable" means an interactive pdf for our customers where they can edit the prices, product discription etc.
I can paginate our catalogue with "Easy Catalogue" including all interactive textfields. It looks like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kn81v9db69dx0a7/screenshot_pagination_incl_interactive_textfield s.png?dl=0
The problem now is, when I export it as an interactive pdf, the data of the textfields will not be exported -> Dropbox - screenshot_exported_interactive_form.png
it`s just blank
Does anybody have a solution for this problem. I need the fields to be preset with the data!
Is it generally possible to export interactive textfields with data?
Any idea is appreciated!
cheers from Austria,
Chris

I´m using Easy Catalog http://www.65bit.com/software/easycatalog/
But I think it has something to do with indesign interactive pdf export properties.
What I also tried:
Converted an ordinary textfield with text into an interactive textfield -> then exported as an interactive pdf -> also blank editable field!

Is it possible to export Xcelsius using SAP BW connection to PDF ?

My customer has a requirement of exporting an Xcelsius visualisation based on SAP NetWeaver BW Connection to pdf.
When I do so, the pdf is generated, but the query to BW is never executed (Refresh Before Components Are Loaded, Refresh button on grid : it does not work).
Is there a way to publish a Xcelsius visualisation based on BW via pdf ? By publishing the pdf to the SAP NetWeaver portal ?
Thanks
Hans

i also like to know the solution. is it possible to export xcelsius if connect via Qaaws to PDF?

Is it possible to export, and include AE compositions used within a Premiere Pro project, via project manager?

I've several Premiere Pro CC 2014 projects I want to relocate via project manager (one at a time). They're excessive in size (many long and unused footage files), so "Create New Trimmed Project" is the setting-option, within project manager, most attractive. BTW I love how project manager does this... However, when I check on its new location, I don't see any linked AfterEffects files. Fine, I try the other setting "Collect Files and Copy to New Location". This option allows me to now copy everything including rendered scenes featuring my AE compositions (and a lot of excess, unused files)... but still no AE files!
Is it possible to export a Premiere Pro project, excluding unused files, yet include all used files... especially linked files such as AE compositions?

Though not exactly the solution I seek, I've tried an alternative approach... it works (if anyone's interested)... but my original question still stands.
Alternative approach (and probably the only option now):
When I copy & trim my Premiere Pro project via project manager to its new location, I can open the new file and see the track editor now includes broken links to AfterEffects compositions. Since I don't wish to relink these to the current .AEP file, I may package** the original AE project to a location near my newly-located Premiere Pro project folder. To do this, I open the original .AEP file containing any compositions linked to my original Premiere Pro project, and use File < Dependencies < Collect Files. This feature copies all files (and a new .AEP copy) from this AE project to my newly selected destination (as long as no files are missing).
So at this point, when I open my newly-located PP project, I can relink the broken AfterEffects composition links in PP to the new .AEP file. Yay!
**package (for those unaware) is the term used within Adobe InDesign. This feature gathers all linked files that makeup the overall design and layout, and copies into a new folder.

Is it possible to export a Muse project as HTML to use locally inside a browser?

I am trrying to see if it possible to export a Muse project in the same way, for example, it is possible with Fireworks to export a PNG file with hotspots as HTML and Images.
I want to be able to look at the project hosted locally and still click on sections of the site, click on links within the site making it appear like a live web site, but locally in my machine.
Thank you!

Hello,
You can use File>Export as HTML option and it will export your website to a local folder.
Then you can open the index.html page in a web browser and it will give you experience of your site with all active links.
Hope this helps.

Sachin

Is it possible to export of the stage of a Flex application in vector format?

Is it possible to export of the stage of a Flex application in vector format?
Right now our only option is to render our graphs to a (large, off-screen) bitmap and export that bitmap, which is a real shame because every
component in Wondergraphs is 100% vector based. Anyone at Adobe know more about this?

Hi.
Try start->search for pen and touch--> then uncheck "Use your finger as an input device" in the Touch tab.

is it possible to export a slideshow in 1080p format and then show it on a projection TV in 1080? if so, how - what conversions are necessary

Getting it out of Aperture is not a problem. When you export the slide show select 1080p as the export format.
What happens then gets tricky. To create a true high def 1080p DVD requires Blu-Ray. So you will need an external Blu-Ray recoreder and software to create the DVD.
If you're hooking your computer up to the TV then you'll have better luck.
