Packaging files for service providers in Illustrator CS3 necessary?

Hi, i need to
package my files in Illustrator for a service provider
tonight in the same fashion one would do
in InDesign for a service provider.
But Illustrator does not have 'File->package.'
From what I can see I might go to the links palette
and use that to embed images?
But i was also told that you usually don't want to embed
Well, i'm obviously confused, anyone who can point me in the
right direction, that would much appreciated,
Thankyou.

Yeah, there's no easy way to package up the fonts unless you use Art Files or Scoop. From "Find Font..." you can then go to the finder and search for the fonts you've used. If it's only a couple, it's not too bad. Just make sure you get the right versions... (I know I have about 20 faces of Futura...)
If the service provider isn't going to be making any changes to the copy, then there is really no reason not to outline the fonts.
Outlining fonts changes them from text to shapes, treating them just like any other shape in your file, removing your ability to edit text (so it should be one of the last steps in your pre-flighting of a file) and it guarantees that what you send the printer is what you'll get back.
Keep a live (not outlined) copy of all your files for future use and send the printer an outlined version.
Or, if this is something you're going to be doing a lot of, and you don't want to outline the fonts, look into Art Files or Scoop. I know Art Files is only like $50, and it works great.

Package File option for illustrator CS6

Illustrator Help | Package files | Creative Cloud only

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/package-files.html

I had the same problem with no updates found for my Creative Cloud Illustrator installation.
Here's how I was able to finally update it.
Uninstall Illustrator
Reinstall Illustrator, which will still be 16.0.0
Check for updates in newly installed Illustrator
Update found
Install update
Note: I found the new package feature doesn't package linked images that are in opacity masks. Reported it as a bug.

Exporting a inDesign CS2 File to Illustrator CS2 and Preserving LInks

Hi,
I have 3 InDesign CS2 files that have several links which have been modified withing the file. The printer needs these files in Illustrator format with the links preserved, so they can swap images, adjust colors and such.
I am having a problem exporting these files to Illustrator CS2 while preserving the links.
I have tried exporting as hirez PDF/X-1a as well as a EPS. They both embedd all the files. When I go to relink everything the images come in as their original form as expected and I find I have to reformat every image which is very time consuming.
I don't want to spend hours trying to relink everything for each package, so I was wondering if there was a way I would be able to export them while preserving all my images as links to Illustrator. Is that even possible? Is there an option in CS3 perhaps? I am willing to upgrade if necessary.
Please Help!

My boss is in charge of talking to the client and the printer. I am the designer asked to post this question to see if there was another way besides spending hours adjusting these files. I believe he is going to try and convince him otherwise looks like I will be relinking and adjusting for a while to give them what they want.

Opening svg files in Illustrator cs3

hi,
svg files which I open in Illustrator have all lines very thick (about 20times thicker they should be). All the files look good in svg adobe viewer.They come from a "closed" system so I do not know how were they saved.

Ed/Ray,
They are Artios Cad files. Artio Cad is a 3D program from Esko Graphics used for packaging work. Lets you fold your box in 3D etc.
You will need the Esko Pluggins in order to open your ard files in Illustrator. Not sure if they have them for CS3 yet but they do for CS2 and below and are free I believe from Esko's web site.
Good luck,
Jeff

Is anyone else making svg cut files with Illustrator?

I am hoping to learn more about using Illustrator to make svg cut files. I have a cutting machine (Silhouette SD) and have been making cut files with Illustrator to use with it. I hope to, at some point, sell my files so they have to be perfect. I have run into some problems however. My paths are being read as outlines and giving me an unwanted double cut. I went on line to see if anyone else has been having this problem as well and to my surprise I found that many people are using other software packages (MTC, SCAL and Inkscape) instead. So here are my questions...
1. Is Illustrator the best software for making SVG cut files and why either way?
2. Is there a place where I can learn more about making SVG cut files with Illustrator?
Thank you in advance for any input on this topic.

Also experiencing hang on quit. For me, it follows a bug where the main viewer pane quits working (which happens occasionally when I have the gall to try to play something before it's done rendering.) Main viewer pane won't update--just shows a video frozen video frame, won't even preview items in the event browser pane. Everything else appears to be working until I play, and when the playhead gets to the unrendered segment, FCP hangs--I assume it's the same hang that happens if I try to quit instead of playing, though that's a pure guess.

Preflight/Packaging Files in CS5

My printer needs an AI file type. I'm used to preflighting in InDesign by clicking "package"-- what's the best way to package a final file in Illustrator CS5?

Hi rachelvp,
Where I work, we develop and publish the software FlightCheck. This stand-alone application can not only package all used fonts, images and artwork, but will also preflight the Illusrtrator CS5 files (and all other versions as well), warning you of potential problems as well. Furthermore, will do the same for Photoshop, InDesign, etc, etc too. Here is how it works:

Location and size of hotspot in a packaged file

Hi all,
I'm working on a authorware program in which I want to use the location ans size of a clicked hotspot to draw a rectangle. Ultimately, I would like to be able to change the size/position of a hotspot, and when packaged, the rectangle should be drawn at the new position of the hotspot, with the new size. So far, I've been succesful in an unpackaged file with:
GetIconProperty(@Title; #awSizeX))
GetIconProperty(@Title; #awSizeY))
GetIconProperty(@Title; #awLocationX)
GetIconProperty(@Title; #awLocationY)
where Title is the title of the clicked hotspot. So far so good... BUT I learned the hard way that GetIconProperty() does not work in a packaged authorware file (next time I'll first read the help section better!). My question: how can I obtain the same information in a packaged authorware file?
I have been looking at the GetSpriteProperty() function, which should work in a packaged file. However, the hotspots are not sprites, and I don't know what spriteproperties I should use for the location and size of the hotspot (#awSizeX, #awSizeY, #awLocationY, & #awLocationX don't work). Furthermore, GetPostPoint does provide the position of the top left pixel position of the hotspot, but I need separate X and Y values for the position of the hotpot to be able to use the Box() function to draw the rectangle. And I need the of the hotspot as well. Lastly, PositionY@Title and PositionX@Title don't work for my hotspots (the value is always 0 and does not change when clicking the hotspots).
I could solve the problem by making variables of all the position values and size values of all the hotspots, but then I would not be able to change the position and size of the hotspot by dragging, and changing the rectangle accordingly.
I would be more than happy to hear if anyone has a solution for me.
Thanks!

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your suggestions! Regarding your first thought: I don't know what you mean by making my clickable area a hit *object. I've tried the help pages of authorware, but it drew a blank. Could you explain how I can make my clickable area a hit *object?
Regarding clickX/Y: the values depend on the exact location where the user clicks, therefore drawing a rectangle over a picture (which is not moving) is difficult using clickX/Y. I would like the rectangle to appear on a certain spot (namely on the position of the hotspot, with the same width & height), regardless where in the hotspot the user clicks.

PHD syncing and OmniGraffle package files

I am having an issue where package files synced to the home directory are appearing empty at a later date.
This issue seems to be directly related to OmniGraffle documents, affecting anything that is a .graffle (OmniGraffle Document) or .gstencil (OmniGraffle Stencil) that are stored as packages. We are using OmniGraffle 5.2.1. I have the ability to save the documents as a flat file type, I am unsure of the stencils.
Our enviornment - clients are running on MacBook Pro's with OS 10.5.8. Servers are Mac OS Server 10.5.8. Home directories are stored in an xSAN enviornment (2.2). Users belong to a group (portable homes) in OD that manages the Mobility Preferences and PHD syncing.
I performed a test where I logged the user in, added a .graffle doc to their desktop, logged them out, restarted and logged back in. Upon login, the "outer shell" of the package was still there, but had no contents.
Below I have a few excerpts from the FileSyncAgent-verbose.log from the users system. The file I was monitoring was named "NetworkDiagramMaster-2010_vB.graffle"

This time, when checking the file on the desktop of the users system, the file was there, but there were no contents in the package.
The user has since logged out and left for the day, but I checked the server and for now, the file seems to be OK. It appears that when the person syncs later, the "blank" file is pushed from their system back up to the server. Then both files are blank.
I am not sure, but the phrase "Found 'empty' package job. Ignoring." appears a few times in the log. I think this may have something to do with the issue, but I am not sure how to fix it. I have many users and it is beginning to worry me that there may be other files which are not getting copied properly.
Has anyone out there run across this or have any ideas for a fix?

You need to ask the Dropbox people about that, but I'm pretty sure that it's like having an external drive and it can't sync that precisely. It will act just like dragging and dropping a file on an external drive and back up the whole thing each time.
For that kind of syncing you need an iDisk from Apple's MobileMe service. Certain note programs, like Yojimbo, are made with idisk syncing built in, but I don't think Devonthink supports that.

How do I transfer a .psd file to illustrator that can then be placed in Muse as a .svg with transparent background?

I just wrote all this up in another thread. I did not realize at the time that the last post was in 2014, so I'm giving it a go here.
I am currently trying to create an .svg using Photoshop .psd file (with layers in tact). I'm new to these products so it may be obvious to others that the above intention was to eventually place the .svg in some sort of website creation software such as Muse. Which is precisely what I am attempting. However, I am getting a white background once I place or copy and paste into Muse. My starting .psd has a transparent background without any hidden layers causing this problem. To test this I placed the .psd file into Muse and it still has a transparent background. However when opening or placing this file into illustrator, it picks up a white background. If I do exactly as described above, I still get the same result. So far I have tried:
1) Simple copy and paste from Photoshop .svg to illustrator to Muse. Result - white background.
2) Placing the .psd in illustrator, then placing the .svg file in muse. Result - white background.
4) I have also tried the every combination of 1 and 2. - Result - white background.
3) I have now created a path in Photoshop from the text layer to yet again attempt the above methods. Result - white background.
I'm including an image of the object I am trying to place with transparent background, but I have both a flattened rasterized version, a version complete with layers and a third (.svg) with the corresponding objects. I am completely new to Illustrator as of today so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Link to .psd file "Welcome text"

I was having some difficulties getting the correct dimensions of one of my objects, I eventually solved this problem without using svg. It was pretty simple when I stopped trying to over complicate things. I just linked the object to a near by object in photoshop, merged and placed it all as one. It looks great now. Thanks for your reply. You are correct, SVG was not the answer.

This problem appears after opening 4 a 5 files, rebooting helps another 4 a 5 times and appears again.

I'd recommend reposting in the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and Windows gurus hang out.
Good luck.
