Problem with smart guides in CS5 with converting type object to outlines.

Hi There,
I recently upgraded to Illustrator CS5, and am having some issues with the smart guides. I create some type with the text tool, then convert that type object to outlines. Now, when I want another graphical object to "snap" to any of the anchors of the outlined text graphic, the smart guides don't kick in! The problem does not seem to occurr if I make a standard graphic with other tools, only when I create a graphic from a type object. I need to be able to snap to graphical objects that are created via the convert type to outlines command. Has anybody experienced this issue before? It's kinda frustrating.
The issue didn't seem to happen in CS3, and I've noticed the design of the smart guides is a bit different in the CS5 version as well. Am I missing something?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

When you switched to CS5 did you turn on view >> snap to Point
If your snapping tolernace is set to a small value, you may need to zoom in more to get snapping to work, or just increase the value. Also make sure you have the appropriate items checked (eg:Anchor Path Labels)
Edit Preferences >> Smart Guides >> Snapping Tolerance

What is the problem with converting objects with gradients to gradient mesh?

slange,
There may arise some smaller corruption states that may be cured by what you did, as you can see in the list. Sometimes, restarting thrice is needed.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Never heard of RIFF, so I did research and found these sources: http://ccrma.stanford.edu/courses/422/projects/WaveFormat/

Good luck.

Problem with Converter

Problem with Converter. When I save a PDF it is saved as a Word document and I cannot open it. What is the problem? I have uninstalled the Converter, but it continues to save PDF as Word.

Word document and it will not allow me to open it.

Problems with letter type

Problems with letter type homepage www.JO-qigong.nl When I want to make another type it changes the whole page? Why?

Thank you for responding. I am sure that I selected the text. I don't do anything different than I did many times before. But if I change a text know, for exemple in the color Red, than other text, that I didn't selected, get a different text: bigger text or other color. In iWeb everything is OK, but when I publish it, than there are those grazy changes. I use iWeb for 3 years now and had no problems till now.
Is it because the software is not supported anymore by Apple, because you can not update the software anymore. It is a pitty, because I like iWeb. It is easy to work with.

Problem with mime type in web.xml file

Hi everybody,
I actually got a problem with mime types on Weblogic 6.0 under Linux.
I read the documentation so I added the next lines in the web.xml file in
the WEB-INF directory of my server :
<mime-mapping>
<extension>
doc
</extension>
<mime-type>
application/msword
</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
<mime-mapping>
<extension>
ppt
</extension>
<mime-type>
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint
</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
Why can't I retrieve a .doc or .ppt files with an internet browser correctly
? I get only text/plain ...
Can someone help me ?
Regards,
Alexis Berger

I am having the same problem with doc and xsl. I have added this
<mime-mapping>
<extension>xls</extension>
<mime-type>application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
<mime-mapping>
<extension>doc</extension>
<mime-type>application/msword</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
to my web.xml. I even restarted the server. I still see doc and xsl in binary.
Is there some other setting that needs to take place?
I am using WL6.1 with fixpack 1.
I can see the doc and excel files in the browser if I don't go through the weblogic
server. That just confirms it's not my browser.

It works fine for me in 6.1 SP1.
 
If the following doesn't work , can you
 try application/winword instead of application/msword?

Problem with converted PDF from OTF

Hello,
im having a problem with character interpretation in PDF document when i convert it from OTF.
At the moment im using Arial true type font in my smartform, im using function module CONVERT_OTF to convert OTF to PDF.
When i open PDF document with Adobe reader it looks fine, but the problem is when im trying to convert PDF file to other format for example PNG, or trying to copy and paste text from PDF document.
im getting Klaipìda instead of Klaipėda, it seems that baltic symbol "ė" is interpreted like "ì", other baltic symbols are interpreted as they should, there is problem only with character "ė".
have anyone faced that kindof problem? or maybe anyone know the solution for this problem? if so please tell me.
Best regards,
Rimantas Sebeckis.

Hi Rimantus,
Did you check the fonts installed in your system,,,
As PDF is a unchangeable format, it doesnt depend upon the installed fonts in the system,,
but when you copy, you need some fonts in system,, if not you will get the same problem,,,
Thanks & regards,

Problem With Convert to symbol

I am having a stupid problem with the convert to symbol
function in Flash 8 pro. When I import to library and then convert
my first symbol, everything works fine. But then when I try to
convert another piece of art to a symbol, it becomes the same
symbol as before. so i can only convert 1 symbol. This just started
happening. I'm converting to graphic symbols, and I have even
uninstalled and reinstalled. Has anyone else had this
problem?

if you are trying to convert a symbol from a frame that

selected...
