Opening FWCS6 vector graphics in Adobe Illustrator

Hi,
I have 2 questions regarding vector graphics created in FW CS6. I have created some logos as vector graphics using the pen tool in FW CS6. The files are in png format.
1.- Can I open them in Illustrator cc 2014 and save them as svg format?
2.- Does Illustrator use the same technology as FW CS6 in order to create vector graphics? I mean .. Is it the same to use the pen tool in FWC6 as it is in Illustrator? I am not familiar with Illustrator.
Thanks for your answer.

When dealing with ai files, I will often import them as smart objects in
Photoshop (embedded or linked if you have the latest version of PS CC) and use the roundtripping with Photoshop available in Captivate.
That way I keep link with original AI-file, let CP convert the layer to PNG on importing.

  • How to use vector file without adobe illustrator?? please help

    I am using the free trial period of adobe illustrator to creat a logo.  I don't want to buy illustrator b/c I don't plan on using the program for anything else,  I would like to save my logo in some kind of vector format so I can use it for lots of different printing options.  But I can't figure out how to do this b.c my computer won't open the file without illustrator.  Is there anyway to creat a usable print friendly logo without buying illustrator? Thanks for any help!

    I believe if you export it to wmf or emf you will have a Vector file that can be used in word or powerpoint and can be placed in other programs as can ai files which can be placed in word or powerpoint documents as vector files.
    Flash (swf) is another way of saving it and it is also vector.
    However even though you say you will never have use for Illustrator which is what I thought in 1995 when I use it to create a logo, I soon found more use for it and every year since have found a project that has rewarded me many times the cost of the application once I had purchased it. Most of which I never thought I had the need for and probably would not have even made the attempt to make the effort and the profit if I did not own the license.
    And every time I say to myself what do i have this application for the opportunities arises yet again.
    I thought I would share my experience with you.

  • Change Default for Open New Template File In Adobe Illustrator

    How can I change the default folder when trying to "Open From Template".
    When I use the open from template it defaults to the template folder in the program folders.
    I want to change the default folder to a different location.
    Adobe Illustrator CS3 13.0.2

    Here's how to have your templates available in the "File New From Template" in Adobe Illustrator for Windows.
    What you need to have
    Administrator access to your machine.
    What you need to know
    The default directory for Adobe Illustrator templates is here (for CS5.1)
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5.1\Cool Extras\en_US\Templates
    The default Windows security doesn't allow shortcuts to be created directly under that directory.
    You can, however, create the shortcut indirectly!
    What you need to do
    In Summary
    Create one (or multiple) folder shortcut(s) in the default Illustrator template directory.
    In Detail
    Open Illustrator
    Select File -> New From Template
    Drop down the "Look in" drop-down, note the directory:C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5.1\Cool Extras\en_US\Templates
    Open a Windows Explorer, and navigate to that directory
    Open another Windows Explorer, and navigate to the directory where you keep your templates.
    Right-click-drag your folder from the second Explorer (your directory) to the first Explorer (default templates) and drop.
    Select "Create shortcut" from the right-click popup menu that appears when you "drop" (release the mouse button).
    Windows will display a message "Shortcut cannot be created here, do you want to create it on the desktop".
    Select Yes.
    Move the directory shortcut to the Illustrator to the first Explorer (default templates directory)
    Windows will ask for Administrator permissions.
    Select Yes.
    You can right-click on the template shortcut and rename it without the " - Shortcut" suffix; you'll have to grant Administrator permissions for that as well.
    After completing these steps, your template shortcut will appear properly and you can select it.  Happy designing!

  • How to open Isodraw file (.ISO) in Adobe Illustrator?

    Hi there,
    I can't open the .iso file from Isodraw (PTC) in Adobe Illustrator. Do i need to have a conversion agent to convert it to .ai in order to open in Adobe Illustrator?
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    Jacqueline

    Illustrator cannot open IsoDraw's native format.
    Whenever Program A cannot open the native format of Program B, you have to find a format that Program A can export and Program B can import. So...
    If you have access to Program A, check its specs (or its export options) see what formats it can export.
    See what formats Program B can import (or Open).
    When you find a match, export from Program A in that format, and then open it in Program B.
    Expect some trade-offs, because the format used for the exchange will likely not support all the native features of the exporting program.
    IsoDraw is supposed to be able to export .AI, DXF, DWG, all of which Illustrator can open.

  • Export graphics to Adobe Illustrator file format

    Does anyone have or know where to get a "hello world" type script to save Java2D objects to a Adobe Illustrator file format.
    I have looked at the file format specification and it is quite detailed. Just hoping for something to get me started, as the graphics I want to export are not too complicated.
    Thanks

  • Over lay graphic from adobe illustrator

    Hi There,
    I'm having trouble overlaying a graphic onto my timeline. It overlaps my main clip with a white background. All I want is the black outline of the graphic on top of my clip. I've been messing with the alpha channels but I can't seem to get the right combination of transperancy. Starting to pull hair. Thanks.

    Turns out I was close. I made the mistake of either importing or exporting the ai file instead of simply opening the ai file in photo shop. Once open in photo shop all I had to do was save it as a psd. Burnt some hours and pulled some hair but at least it's sorted now. Thanks Tom.

  • Importing Vector/eps art - Adobe Illustrator

    Is it possible to import vector art into an iPhoto book?
    I designed some logos and want to include them in my Folio book. I know the vector art would print better than raster art (jpegs or tifs).
    I would think it's possible because the text boxes are vector art.
    Thanks,
    Steffon

    Steffon:
    iPhoto does not support vector art. You'll have to convert it to a jpg, tiff or other image file that iPhoto supports.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • Adobe Illustrator CC (CS6, CS5.1) incorrectly opens a PDF file.

    Hello,
    I have a problem. The customer sent me a graphic in PDF, which he wanted for us to print on textiles. I opened the graphics in Adobe Illustrator CC, edited and put into print.
    After a customer complained about the flag at us and when we found out where she could be a mistake, I found that Adobe Illustrator can not open the PDF correctly. With this error, I met for the first time. More can be seen on video here: http://screenr.com/2ZUN
    PDF file is available here: http://goo.gl/oljbSs
    This is a bug Illustrator? Because PDF file is correct PDFX/1a file.
    Or is there any other way to open a PDF file in order to keep the look?
    Thanks so much for all the answers.
    Regards
    Aleš Ulrych

    It's not really a bug. It's an uneducated customer (what a surprise).  :+)
    Now you have something to add to your document "how to prepare files" for your service.
    That's what I have,
    but what I say. No one that does not follow.
    When we say that we need the data in a different format,
    let us send graphics otherwise, most will say that it will be printed
    elsewhere, where these "other requirements" does not require them.
    But it is already a different thing.
    I just have to hope that this created PDF files will not be much, because
    for the last 5 years since opening the PDF files in Illustrator and regulates I had no problem (to small gradients, which I solved by saving PDF and Postscript file Jeko that open in Adobe Illustrator)
    Thanks so much for your feedback.

  • Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 won't open under my current admin profile.

    I recently installed Adobe CC 2014 suite on my Windows 7 OS. All the programs open properly with the exception of Illustrator CC. The error message I get is:
    Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
    Since receiving this message I have gone through other forum posts and have tried all (below) with no remedy.
    Uninstalled using Windows Uninstall Program followed by Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and reinstalled. (I’ve done this numerous times. I also removed any prior software versions (CS5) along with preceding software preferences.)
    All of my OS drivers have been updated.
    Monitor, Processor and GPU Drivers are updated. NOTE: I’m running an Intel Core i7 960 3.2GHz processor and an AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series GPU.
    I’m running my workstation as an admin user, however created a shared user group so InDesign would open properly. (This was my other problem I was having up until a few hours ago.)
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Verdana and Tahoma TTF fonts.
    I am not running or have installed any 3rd party plug-ins.
    I read a forum post that said you can get around this problem by creating a new admin account. I did and was able to open Illustrator under that profile; however I’m still unable to open it under my existing admin account. How can I get around this? There must be a way to get Illustrator to open in my current account.
    Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated. I’m now on day No. 2 trying to get this solved.

    Hello Mylenium,
    Is this what you need to determine what is causing Illustrator CC to crash upon opening the program?

  • Jagged vector graphics from Illustrator in Indesign

    Using CS3, Leopard, have all updates.
    I'm having problems with vector graphics created in Illustrator getting jagged when dragged from Illustrator to Indesign (or copied and pasted or placed as Illustrator file). They look jagged (stair stepped) in InDesign, also in Acrobat after exporting a pdf, and after printing. The vector image in question is a rectangle with rounded corners with an "Envelope Distort - make with warp" applied to it. Is the problem that I'm trying to drag an envelope distorted graphic into InDesign? Are there settings to make this work?

    "They look jagged (stair stepped) in InDesign, also in Acrobat after exporting a pdf, and after printing."
    Doesn't sound like a screen preview issue to me.
    If a placed AI file has jagged edges on print and in PDF, but looks good in Illy, then something is amiss. Your transparency settings could be set to rasterize the line art. Make sure you're using one of the canned flattener presets (high, med, low) if there is any transparency in your page (little checkered icon by the page icon in the page palette).

  • Not all export options are showing in Adobe Illustrator Draw app!?

    I downloaded the Adobe Illustrator Draw App. Did a test run on the features. Meaning i just doodled. Then i went to export However only two choices show. A copy of image to Creative Cloud and one other. There is no way to put actual file with layers so i can open it in illustrator on desktop.
    i deleted the app and re- downloaded the app. But still only 2 options show, which do not help.
    If anyone has any suggestions please let me know!!!
    Also, if can, please ket me know if this app is only for CC files on desktop?
    i have CS6 programs on desktop not CC.
    Thank you,
    Joleen

    Hi dkendall-ks,
    The "Send to Illustrator" functionality sends the file to your CC Adobe Illustrator desktop (Mac or Windows) application. For this functionality to work you need to :
    1. Have the latest CC Adobe Illustrator 18.1.0
    2. Be signed in with the Creative Cloud desktop app with the same account you are signed in your iOS Adobe Illustrator Draw app.
    Once you have completed the steps above, the artwork you send from Adobe Illustrator Draw will be opened in your desktop CC Adobe Illustrator app as vector objects (except for images that you had imported).
    Hope this helps,
    Jose

  • Pattern file does not function properly in Adobe illustrator CS5

    So I learned Adobe Illustrator CS5 (Say 10%). I have these two files which I downloaded from the net. They are patterns files for animals skins.
    The first file is named "Animals_skins.ai" and is taken from htthttp://www.adobe.com/uk/web/tips/ill10qtpatt/p:// and can be downloaded from the same page ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/magic/special/illustrator/win/pattern.zip and has 10 Animal Skins patterns. When I
    Open the file directly in Adobe Illustrator CS5, I get the contents of the file as well as they are added directly to the "Swatches Panel" on the left. When I hover over the individual boxes/Thumbnails/rectangles in the Swatches Panel with the mouse, I get the titles like "Jagur" or "Tiger" telling me the name of the patterns.
    The same is the Case when I load the file using the "Open Swatch Libary" > "Other Libary" and browse to the file and open it. Works perfectly. I can apply the patterns to any shapes and it works like a charm.
    The Second file is named "skins.ai" and is taken from http://www.vectoropenstock.com/4416-Animal-Skin-Patterns-vector and can be dowloaded from the same page http://www.vectoropenstock.com/descargar.php?id_vect=4416 and has 35 Skins Patterns. When I
    Open the file directly in Adobe Illustartor CS5, I get the contents of the file showing me the patterns. However they are not added to the "Swatches Panel" directly as the first file does. Insted I get some other colors in the swacthes panel and when I hover over the individual boxes/Thumbnails/rectangles in the Swacthes Panel with the mose, I DON'T get the titles.
    The same is the case when I load the file using the "Open Swatch Libary" > "Other Libary" and brose to the file and open it. Does not work. I CAN't apply the patterns to any sahpes. Even If I select the patterns from the main windows by clicking, selecting and draging to the swatches panle and add there. When I apply the same to any shape it applies them but it's all messed up and lines appear around the single/individual pattern if the shape to which it is being applied is big enough.
    Can't figure it out that why the first file works and the second files does not. I am new to Illustartor (How many times you have heard that?) and any solution would greatly aid me in my learning process. I need the patterns for a logo design.
    I have another 3rd file which has Cow Patterns and it behaves exactly the same way as the second file. Opening it shows me the pattern in the main window but it does not get added to the swatches panle either by adding it using the mouse or opening it using the browse libary method.
    Thanks in Advance

    you have to read the tutorial in the same page you downloaded the swatches from. It tells you exactly how to make the tiles match.
