Lines/paths appear jagged?

When zoomed in or at 100% on a line drawn/path in CS5, it appears pixelated/jagged and not smooth. This happens when drawing paths with the pen tool, and the line tool. It happened with the line tool when I rotated the line at an angle.
How can I make it look smooth?
Thanks.

Increase the thikness of the stroke to 2 pixels and set the edge softness to 100. That will give you some edge to blend with, making the stroke blend with the canvas/background. HTH

Possible to make line corner not jagged, but not round?

If you look at the attached image, you can the upper line is very jagged. Is it possible to retain the object's shape but make that point, less pointy?

There are three black partial segments in your screenshot. I will refer to them as the Upper Segment, Middle Segment, and Lower Segment.
The unwanted outboard point is due to the mitering of the accute corner formed by the Upper Segment and Middle Segment, which are part of the same path. You can correct this by instead making the Upper Segment and Lower Segment parts of a single path, and let the Middle Segment be a separate path.
Depending on the rest of the paths, which are beyond view, this may or may not require treating the Strokes as separte paths from the Fillls.

Problem connecting two seperate straight line paths. Please help!

Hi there, I'm new to illustrator and have been having a problem connecting two straight line paths. They never seem to line up correctly. Attached is a photo of the problem. I assume this is an easy fix but I can't figure it out myself.

Brigid,
There seems to be two aspects:
One is to get the end points to coincide. You may tick View>Snap Guides, then click one path by the end Anchor Point and drag it to snap (Smart Guides say anchor when you are there).
The other is to get rid of the gap in the stroke(s), You may join the paths into one, dragging across the coinciding Anchor Points with the Direct Selection Tool and Ctrl/Cmd+J, or you may keep the separate paths and change the Cap to Round in the Stroke palette/panel which will give you a rounded outer appearance); I presume the former is what you wish, in which case you may choose between Round and Miter Join.

Can i remove white line that appears in between 2 videos when i am using video next to video

can i remove white line that appears in between 2 videos when i am using video next to video

The easiest answer would be to just get a Friskars cutter or something similar. I have one like this that I use to cut my photos apart. I found mine at a Walmart in either the scrapbook aisle or the hobby aisle.
However, if you are determined to make a custom picture package you can try making a custom layout with a text editor. I know you can control the white space amount but not sure if you can totally eliminate it.
A simple text editor will work...notepad works for this on Windows...not sure what is comparable on the mac.
In PSE3, the layouts are found following this path Adobe<Photoshop Elements 3.0<Shared Assets<Layouts...note there is also a folder titled Layouts readmes which shows the formula to edit the layouts.
Here is a link that details how to create a picture package layout using a text editor:

Caution: Make sure you save your custom layout with a new name so you don't overwrite the ones that ship with elements.

IMac 10.4.11 Because permanent vertical lines have appeared on my screen, I need to get a new monitor. The adapter apple sells goes from female VGA to mini-DVI. What kind of cable should I get as well:female to male?

If I use an adapter (female VGA to mini-DVI) for my iMac 10.4.11 OSX, I also need a cable. Should that cable be female VGA to male VGA?
Permanent vertical lines have appeared on my display, and connecting to another display (monitor) requires a cable and adapter. I want to be sure I am purchasing the correct cable for the Apple adapter.

What made me think I need to format if I upgrade the OS?
I just presumed so really.
What made me think I need to constantly format computer with my problem?
Well, after many attempts to repair the drive, which fails, cannot even reach the log in screen, I am left with no other choice?
And also, I have to note now, System Preferences keeps crashing without reason, it either takes ages to load, just by clicking it to open, or clicking something within it, or it just crashes.
And temporarily, it freezes the computer totally, with no response.
Seriously, am I missing a system file or something? Anyone experienced this problem before?
My computer is literally a blank computer right now, installed VLC and Shades, updated Adobe Flash Player, installed Skype and Adium. I would say Growl from Adium caused it, but it has happened prior to Skype and Adium. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks,

How to make a new line item appear in a sales order in VA01 transaction?

Dear All,
I am trying to create a SO with single line item with quantity 100.
Upon hitting the 'Enter' key, if the available quantity is less than the requested quantity (say 20), it takes me to an availabilty control screen which has a push-button 'One-time delivery' on the application tool bar.
Upon clicking on this button, it takes me back to the main screen of VA01 where I currently see only one line item with quantity 100 and confirmed quantity 20.
My requirement here is to make two line items appear, one with quantity 20 and the other with quantity 80, once I navigate back to the main screen of VA01 after clicking on the push-button 'One-time delivery'.
Please provide me your valuable inputs. Any kind of help is highly appreciated.
Useful answers never go unrewarded.
Regards,
Sreekanth Reddy B.

Hi Sreekanth ,
creating line items based on the confirmation qty can be done thru config, not thru ABAP,standard SAP will gives you options to create a new line item for unconfirmed qtys.
check with ur functional consultant or try to post in SD /APO forums.

Try resetting your phone by holding down the home and off button until the apple symbol comes up. Then if still doing, restore your phone in itunes from your backup.

I have small black lines that appeared after I exported from word to PDF. I can't remove them.

I can't edit/delete the black lines with content editing or form editing (they are not selectable, just like a line that was created in word prior to export), and when I tried to write a white line over it with a comment mark up, it does not show when opened with adobe.
Further, redaction with a white box erased nearby text or text boxes.
How can I white out/remove these small lines?
I'm using Yosemite OS X with a macbook pro, acrobat XI.
Thanks!

Hi ,
Could you please tell is that some specific file in which those black lines have appeared or are there any other files as well ?
You can try exporting another test file to PDF and compare the results .
Will it be possible for you to share the file with us so that we can analyze at our end ?If yes ,please share it on [email protected] .
You could also send us the screen shot of the files ( both after and before export) so that we can have a look how it looks and what is the method to remove those lines.

Simplifying Straight Line Paths

Hey all,
new to the forum and really struggling with something at the moment, Using Illustrator CS4
I've imported a map from a DWG prepared in Archicad (vector based architecture software)
This map shows roads and buildings (they are paths in illustrator) and as you would imagine the roads are curved but rather than being drawn with curves they are composed of many many straight line paths and as I'm meaning to have a model laser cut from the Illustrator file I need to join these paths into longer paths so the laser cutting doesn't take forever.
As far as I can see it's fairly simple to simplify the number of anchor points on a curved path using the Object>Path>Simplify tool but simplifying multiple straight line paths that only have the slightest deviation in angle seems harder, or at least I can't work it out.
I have attached an image, The areas highlighted in green are examples of areas where there are too many paths and just one or two paths would be fine. It would be fine to either convert the paths to curved paths or just simply reduce the number of straight line paths that compose the curves.
Hope someone can help, Thx for your time
The

Apart from the current problem, you should take a look at the free plugin "Kartografie-Funktionen" if you do this kind of stuff regularly. http://www.ika.ethz.ch/plugins/index.html
It has a tool for simplifying paths, which works slightly different than Illustrator's

How do I create this line path/fade effect?

Hi Guys,
I was just wondering- i saw this clip and am wanting to recreate it in a different colour / slightly different, but really though the styling was great.
I imagine it can't be too hard to accomplish in motion, but was unsure how to go about it.... i've made the swirl shapes in photoshop, but can't figure out the best way to 'reveal' the line (its not a simple line path really as the line changes shape/width/size)
The video is here: http://www.worshiphousemedia.net/index.cfm?hndl=details&tab=MO&id=6610
Many many thanks in advance,
Adam

this tutorial migth get you off in right direction, the drawing line one from same site is also really good.
http://www.motionsmarts.com/tutorials/skywriting/skywriting2.html
You could also try using masks to reveal different parts of your image over time by keyframing them? the more layers you have your original images on the more versatility you have - speed of revealing can vary as well as amount etc.
hope that kinda-semi-helps : )

Extra line space appearing - Help!

Hiya,
Can anyone help. When in Contribute, I have edited and have deleted a line space using 'shift+enter', it shows as having no line space in Contribute, but when it publishes - lo and behold - a line space appears.
Can anyone help me resolve this please?
Thanks,
Ali

Try this: After your edit, hit F5 to redraw the page and be sure that things are as you wanted. You may discover that there is still an extra line that you have to deal with....

In Reminders on IOS7 on IPAD a Black Line has appeared around line 17/18. I cannot enter more lines after this

A mysterious Black Line has appeared in one of my Reminder sections on the Reminders App on Ipad 4. It is around Line 17/18.
It does not at the moment appear on my iphone using the same app
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I have the same problem, and have for many mounth now, searched for an alternative til iOS Reminders which can sync. to Exchange, but we cannot find one. We use Tasks in Outlook very much.
We have several iPad's with the problem, and we can not solve the problem.
Apple will NOT listen to us, they just say we have to restore the system, but it does not solve the problem!!
Very frustating.
Now the Microsoft Surface 2 look, like a good alternative, and we will go in that direction. We cannot live with thi issue.
Apple is NOT for bussiness.

Hi Daniel,
What is the make of the printer and is it using PCL or PS driver.?
Do you have Acrobat installed on this machine as well?
