Scrolling using Scroll Wheel in Adobe Illustrator

In Adobe Illustrator CS5 I was able to scroll left and right in a document by holding Command and moving the scroll wheel on my mouse. In CS6 I find that holding Command does not toggle the scrolling direction as it had previously done. Holding shift will allow me to scroll horizontally, but moves a whole page at a time instead of giving me the fine-grained control I had before. Is this a bug on my system or is there a reason this behavior was changed? This YouTube tutorial leads me to believe scrolling in CS6 is supposed to work just like it did in CS5.

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.

Can I use macro key in Adobe Illustrator?

Hi all,
I thought of buying this keyboard http://steelseries.com/products/keyboards/steelseries-apex-raw-gaming-keyboard
It is a keyboard with macro keys.
I wonder if these macro keys can be used in Adobe Illustrator.
I want to bind several keystrokes and actions into one macro key.
Example. CTRL+A then CTRL+C.
Is this doable?

Hi Leremy Gan,
Please refer the following help article on default keyboard shortcut for Illustrator.

I have installed a trial of Adobe illustrator on my macbook pro. I want to trace an image using the custom trace button but can't. Does anyone have any ideas how I could custom trace?

I have installed a trial of Adobe illustrator on my macbook pro. It is the 2014 release of adobe illustrator. I want to trace an image using the custom trace button.
I start a new document. Then I place my scanned pencil/colored pencil drawing, in to the document. I have tried scanning and then placing it as a jpeg, bitmap, and tiff file. I have tried scanning and then placing it, in color and in black and white. The scan mode I use is flatbed. Adobe illustrator allows me to select the default button and one of eleven preset buttons (e.g high fidelity photo), but it does not allow me to click the custom trace button. The custom trace button is grey while all the other buttons are white.
Does anyone have any ideas how I could custom trace?

It seems pointless to adjust it afterwards because it is then only a couple a pencil lines rather then a full drawing. And how do I adjust it afterwards? Would I do this using the different buttons under the window button?

Using an older version of Adobe Illustrator on Intel iMac

I am looking into buying a used older version of Adobe Illustrator on Ebay to install on my new iMac(Intel) while I wait for the native CS3 to come out. Does anybody know how old a version can run on this computer? Any issues I should be worried about?
Thanks

Dave is right: CS2 Illustrator will work fine on your iMac Intel, as stated by Adobe in the FAQs for Intel Macs. Any older version than this will cause you some troubles (to be optimistic...).

Using Filemaker with Adobe Illustrator for Book Project

Hi All,
I have a database of musical works contained inside a Filemaker Pro database - it's a mixture of images and text.
I'd like to make a book with the content and was hoping to use a template within Adobe illustrator and pull the data in dynamically from Filemaker.
Is Illustrator the right tool for this? I can't find many links or articles.
Any advice at all on using Filemaker to generate book content much appreciated.
Thanks

I don't really want to post screenshots here of a proprietary solution. But here's a description of a similar FMP-based "publishing" solution:
You have a layout for end-users' main browsing. Similar-looking layouts are used for data entry, but include administrative functions, fields, and flags which expedite content creation, but are not meant for end-users. Typical FMP stuff. But now you take it to the next step:
You build a Report Layout specifically sized and formatted for printing and/or exporting to PDF. You use the FMP tools for object sliding; use Container Fields and/or WebViewer objects for illustrations; use the Merge Field function and/or text Calculation Fields to format text content from multiple data fields. You can overlap fields, so having a container field in the background is simple.
You basically ignore the "publish" Layout as you create, edit, and work with data. But it's always there, and is always "already built and populated." Whenever you want to publish a print version catalog for a particular product, you just launch an FMP script which automatically:
Prompts you for the desired set of records (product model, chapter, category, etc.)
Performs the necessary find and sort.
Creates a table of contents. (Based on another print-formatted Report Layout.)
Exports the TOC as a PDF. (Typically a dozen or so pages.)
Exports the content pages as a separate PDF. (Several hundred pages is no problem.)
In a few minutes, you have an updated print-ready book.
You open the Content PDF in Acroat Pro, insert the pages from the TOC PDF in the front of it, and send it to your on-demand printing outsource. The end result is a perfect-bound manual, without ever having jumped through hoops to dump data into a conventinal-wisdom page-layout app.
So this one FMP solution:
Is used for data entry.
Serves as a live internal reference tool served on FMPSA.
Serves as a data export and data analysis tool.
Can be bound as a fully-functional standalone runtime application.
Is web-deliverable via FMPSA's IWP.
Is web-deliverable as a web site's "backend data" via PHP.
Serves as the "publishing platform" for print-ready and/or web-delivered PDF-based catalogs.
Vector drawings are created in Illustrator, Draw, CAD software, or whatever, and saved as vector PDFs in a folder acessible to the FMP database. The PDFs are named according to a record's unique identifier field (primary key).
You launch Acrobat Pro and run a Batch operation which opens the folder full of PDFs and batch-exports them to an adjacent PNGs folder. The PNGs are exported to the correct size for the Container Field(s) on the print Layout. (Optionally, another Container Field on the browsing Layout displays PDF icons which are links to the PDFs for when a user needs a scaleable, zoomable vector version.) During data entry, each time a new record is created or edited, a scripted button imports both the PNG and the PDF with a click; or batch-imports the images for all records at once.
One could just as easily build a layout and script the solution to create and send HTML-formatted emails of a found page or set of pages.
Like an XML / InDesign solution, FMP effectively figures out for you how many pages are needed for the length of the TOC, and the length of the parts list that accompanies each illustration and creates and numbers them; and it does so without any need for mucking around with XML.
So in this workflow, FileMaker Pro itself is serving as the "page layout" app. All that's sacrificed is high-end printing and exacting typography; which for many practical purposes today is becomming increasingly unnecssary.
The underlying concept herein is "FileMaker and PDF"; not "FileMaker and Illustrator." (Use any graphics program you want that can render to common RGB raster formats and/or PDF). And it's "let FileMaker automate the page assembly" instead of XML / InDesign. Just keep the page design within the capabilities of a FileMaker Layout.

houseofrest,
According to this page, you can use it for CC:

Difficulty accessing adobe illustrator

Hi,
I have two important questions for you.
1.) I used a trial of adobe illustrator (cloud) last month. My trial expired. I paid 29.99 to renew this trial, by credit card, and yet I Still can't access adobe illustrator, as it tells me that my "trial has expired." I would like to be able to access this since I have already paid money. If there is no way to help me with this, then I would like a refund.
2.) Please help me upload an adobe acrobat image into adobe illustrator once the prblem above is fixed. Thank you.

Hi DSFRUS,
As i can see from your records, you have purchased Single app subscription for Photoshop CC and not for Illustrator CC.
So, that's the reason your Illustrator CC still shows as trial.
In case you need to use Illustrator CC only, I would recommend you to contact our Chat support http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6 and ask them to cancel your Photoshop CC subscription and place a new order for Illustrator CC.
Let me know how it goes.

"Zoom using scroll wheel while holding" is broken

Hello,
Since updating to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion this morning, the "Zoom using scroll wheel while holding" feature is broken.
In the mouse control panel the checkbox for "Zoom using scroll wheel while holding" is definitely checked. The default Control ^ key is selected. I verified I'm hitting the correct key on the keyboard using the keyboard viewer.
I've tried using this with 2 finger scrolling on my trackpack as well. I've also tried turning off most of the trackpack geustures.
I tried searching these forums prior to posting and found replies telling people with various different situations to turn this feature off. I want it on. I use it constantly.
I have a MacBook Pro Aluminum 13-Inch Mid 2010
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7 (11A511)
Any advise would be appreciated!
Thanks.

Hello. Original poster here. I can confirm a few things after observing for a few days and trying stuff.
1) The Universal access fixes did nothing. I set & reset those settings til I was blue in the face.
2) I tried a "Repair Permissions" with the Disk Utility. No luck.
3) It works intermitently. After sleeping sometimes it works. After plugging into my external monitor sometimes it works on the external monitor but then if I unplug it won't work again. After a reboot somtimes it works, then after sleeping stops working. Kinda strange. When it works it works from both my external USB mouse and the trackpad, so I don't think it's the hardware.
I don't have Time Machine configured - been using Carbonite, but they're not compatible with Lion so might have to get Time Machine running anyway - but it's not a fix per se, since this oughta work all the time.

Why can't I scroll using the scroll wheel

Today (01/31) I installed my new computer (HP h9-1180 Phoenix). I'm connected to a home network with two computers (#1 new, #2 old, and laptop).
For some reason, no matter what mouse I use, I'm unable to scroll using the scroll wheel. If I want to scroll down a page, I have to use the scroll bar in the right margin.
Is this a problem with this model computer or is there a file missing somewhere?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you.

what mouse are you using mostly and what part of the screen or app that you are on to use it ?
and what OS are you using

I have installed Adobe Reader 11.0.07 for Mac OS 10.9.3. Have asked this question numerous time without results. The problems I am having are: I cannot scroll using the side slider on downloaded PDF files, nor can I fill in fillable files. Also, and this is extremely irritating, I cannot re-initialize the same file or initialize and another PDF file after I have initialized the first file. If you cannot help please let me know if should use an earlier version of Reader or find anther company that has the appropriate software.

Perhaps you missed that you started a discussion at I have OS 10.9.2 and have downloaded latest version of Reader 11. I can no longer fill in form or scroll using the side bar. and you did not respond to the last post there.

Using Adobe Illustrator and NetBeans

I'm trying to draw an image to use in my java program, which I've been using the GUI Builder in NetBeans to put together. It's a wheel for Wheel of Fortune, and I've drawn a great-looking one in Adobe Illustrator but can't figure out how to successfully convert it to a normal image file (right now it's a vector image file) and put it in my program. I've tried using a program called AB Viewer, which converted the picture from SVG to JPG, but it lost a lot of the quality and is acting funny. Does anybody have any suggestions for an easy way to accomplish this, or perhaps another draw program that will make the process easier?
The simple paint program MS Paint, I guess it's called, doesn't have enough features for me to get the wheel detailed (I need to be able to rotate the wheel and the text at whatever angle).

I figured I'd get a sassy answer. I suppose my question doesn't have to do with java programming explicitly - I just thought people here might have experience working with their own image files. Sorry I asked???
I'll check out Gimp.
