Transferring a logo created in Illustrator to Publisher

I am working at an internship for a government agency and developing pamphlets for our local hoarding coalition. The only software on the work computers is Publisher. So I created the pamphlets in Publisher. Worked out okay. Then they asked me to create a logo for the coalition. I decided this would be easier on my personal computer in Illustrator. It is really a basic logo (since I am a layman in graphic design), but I cannot figure out how to get the logo from Illustrator to Publisher without a background. So far, I have been saving the file as a .tiff and then placing it in Publisher. The problem is that the placement for the logo on one of the pamphlets is on a colored background. I tried changing the background of the Illustrator file to the same specs as the Publisher, but it definitely does not match up. I made sure that the Illustrator was in RGB when I changed the background, but I had originally set the document as CMYK. When I exported it this last time, I changed the settings to RBG, but it still looks darker than the background of the pamphlet in Publisher.
I know that's a lot of info and there's probably a simple solution, but I'm graphic design illiterate. Any suggestions?

If there are any effects, do what OldBob recommends, use PNG with transparency. You can safely increase the export size in the export dialog (don't use Save for MS Office) and reduce it down in Publisher, which will raise the effective PPI. Your prints will be just fine.
It isn't typically worth exploring EPS export. It will work for many/most designs as long as there is zero effects (drop shadows, etc) or any transparency. But PNGs work just fine.

Dropshadows with white box from logo created illustrator EPS, HELP?

Does anyone know the best way to keep a dropshadow we created in illustrator for a logo? we have tried a photoshop transparent file, the element created in illustrator (in this case an oval with a blur) and everytime we place in InDesign, we get a white box, frustrating!!!!

By vendor, do you mean the printer? or the client?
If the client:
1) Politely say No.
2) Then explain to them patiently, like to a child how 2+2=4, that EPS is not a valid nor modern file format to use with InDesign and that you are the expert and are being paid for you expertise in such technical design matters.
3) Otherwise, you take no responsiblity for the output and will have them sign off on that fact to cover your ***.
The client, in my experience, only wants a product that meets or exceeds their expectations. They don't have to know how you did it.
If a printer:
1) get him/her to explain why or how it must be EPS in a InDesign workflow. Then if not satisfied with their explanation...
2) get another printer who is working in the 21st century.

I just downloaded an app called "Logos for Adobe Illustrator thinking I would be able to design a logo? I can't even figure out hot to start a new project! Did I buy the wrong app?

Did I just waste $30 buying something called "Logos for Adobe Illustrator?" Do I need something else, some other program, to make it work?

Jill,
Presumably, you can create a new document, then File>Place one the templates, then edit it or whatever.
But maybe you should click the Logos for Adobe Illustrator® Support link here:
Mac App Store - Logos for Adobe Illustrator®
Whether it is a waste depends on the quality of the templates and the extent to which you wish to create your own one and only artwork.

How do I export from PDF to PPT so that shapes created in Illustrator are editable

How do I export from PDF to PPT so that shapes created in Illustrator are editable, not just text on top of them? I used the Acrobat XL Pro technique described here (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdf-to-powerpoint-pptx-converter.html), to export a graphic I had created in Illustrator and saved as an Adobe PDF file, but shapes are not editable and are fuzzy too. Is there a way to export a complete Illustrator graphic to PowerPoint?

Thanks Bill. Of course I realize I can insert an Illustrator drawing into a PPT without making it a PDF first. What I’m trying to do is insert a drawing from Illustrator that is still editable in PPT (a client request). Using the Acrobat XL Pro capability shown in this video <http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdf-to-powerpoint-pptx-converter.html> , only the text is editable in PPT, not shapes created in Illustrator.

Problem with printing pdf file created from Illustrator

Hello,
In a drawing I created with Illustrator 10.0.3 I covered part of a circle with a white rectangle (to make it disappear). I saved it as pdf. When printing the pdf (under Linux with a HP printer), the covered part reappeared. However the pdf-file is how it should be. Anybody knows what the problem is?

No, it is not set to overprint. Also, I have to add that the printing results were not consistent. Sometimes it covered and sometimes it did not.

How do I save a 2 page pdf (created in Illustrator) to be used in a web site?

How do I save a 2 page pdf (created in Illustrator) to be used in a web site?
When I save my Illustrator file as a pdf, it is about 2600 kb, my web site admin will only allow storage of 5000 kb. I tried to "save for the web", but that only saves the first page of my document. Any suggestions other than paying for more storage???

What pdf preset are you using? Try smallest file size rather than illustrator default.
Save for web does not do PDF, so no multipage.

Creating in DW a dropdown menu/navi-bar from png's created in Illustrator

Hey All!
I'm new to Dreamweaver (currently CS5.5) and trying to create webpages for a university-researched based project site.
I'm totally lost as to how to create dropdown menus from buttons and dropdown menus I've created in Illustrator (CS4). I have made the buttons not particularly custom apart from the appearance. There seems to be no way to import from Illustrator unless using slices which only create html linkpages and/or CSS layers (I have no clue on that).
I want to do a number of things:
1. Have a navigation bar
2. When the cursor hovers over the tab it inverts and
(for example) the 'Introduction' tab drop-slides down to show the options.
3. When the cursor hovers over an option the colour changes from light grey to black (?...)
It's a tall order I know, but I've been searching on the web for the last 4 hours and have had no luck in finding what I'm looking for. It is possible isn't it? Surely at this point its possible to do anything with the adobe software?!
Many thanks and best wishes,
James MLM
p.s. If you need to see an attachment of the exampled .pngs let me know. Cheers

Thank you Murray *ACP* and Nancy O. for your help.
I can neither afford to buy such software and nor want to sadly, if I could I would feel I'd learned nothing and have another program do all of the "thrashing" out for me . I'd like to know how it all works, since I'm very new to the whole website design industry (dreamweaver, joomla etc) and I'm keen to learn as much as possible.
Don't take this the wrong way, but the Spry menu bars are fine for an everyday kind of put-together website, however this website is for an academic institution's project and I'm trying my darndest to make sure it doesn't resemble or fall into the category of excessive substance over style. It's a website meant for anyone to use, from the academics who understand the project to the anybody-joe-josie who can use it to learn from the research and products of the project. User-friendly as possible for an academic project. Harder than you think, unless you have seen any academic websites that have all the understandings of layout, clear project description and understanding and product.
Surely there is a way of creating these customisable dropmenus and the masters of said software such as yourselves might find it too time-consuming to give me an idea of where to start, it's cool, I get it.
On paper it's simple; create dropdown menus (slide smoothly) for external links etc, using the .pngs I've designed in Illustrator to give as much aesthetic interaction as possible, that's what I've been assigned to do to replace the quickly-slapped together website there was before. I can't show you the pages I've created from Illustrator using Slices (not a very effective option) since it's under the institution "law" of data protection until ready. I can only provide snippets and the previous website which is being completely updated to meet a brief of "smart, slick, simple".
My definition of that is to have the style of smart, slick and simple whilst having a little more depth and accessibility. All things wonderful get better and evermore intriguing the closer you look.
Thank you again for your help, I'm still learning but I put the hours into something that needs full attention. Plus to whinge (sorry) I'm not being paid, and it's a 3 month schedule. "Tene lupum auribus".
Many thanks and best wishes,
James MLM

Adobe Acrobat Pro won't edit document created by Illustrator 2 and saved as PDF

I've tried multiple things, but can't get Acrobat Pro to edit text within a PDF file which was created by Illustrator cs2 "Accumulated text within the attempted selection area is rotated other than horizontal or vertical. Touchup cannot create a text selection area.". I've searched google, read help....
Fix was to download NitroPDF. It quickly and easily edited the text. So why won't Adobe do it...

The same thing happens with pdf files that are not zip files even if saved from Acrobat Pro on my computer.

Unable to properly highlight grids created by Illustrator CC saved as .pdf's

Hello,
The issue I'm about to explain is a little abstract, and I'll explain it the best I can. Thanks in advance for your patience.
Here's my Dropbox link to the files: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/73esyo467oisq9z/ToXw207v8X
In Illustrator CC I have drawn a grid by intersecting lines which has various font characters and some with square blocks inside the grid spaces. When I save this as a .pdf, users in Adobe Reader or Acrobat Pro are unable to select the rows properly, the selection is seemingly random and unpredictable.
In the link above you'll see two screenshots:
correct_highlighting.png
This is a screenshot of the desired highlighting
This grid (chart) was made in a different program and exported as a .pdf
incorrect_highlighting.png
This is a screenshot of undesireable highlighting
This grid (chart) was made in Illustrator CC and saved as a .pdf
Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5) with the Illustrator Default preset with no Standards preset
Other files included:
test chart creation.aiThe original test drawing used above
test chart creation.pdfA test .pdf created with the specifications above
I think the issue has something to do with the grid is created with a series of lines, so perhaps it's nothing like a spreadsheet where the highlighting flow is a set path and predictable. My thought is, how do I go about making the highlighting flow predictable?
Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply.
The grid (chart) that highlights correctly is created from another program which is no longer viable, and as I need full control over the drawing, creating fields in Acrobat is not an option.
This grid (chart) created in Illustrator CC will be used in InDesign where ultimately a .pdf is created and viewed by clients in print and on screen (mac, pc, unix, and mobile devices). It's very helpful for users to highlight and mark their place on the chart as they read it to keep their place. Sometimes clients use a 3rd party .pdf reader to accomplish this. Long story short, the program we were creating these charts with is no longer viable, and are now testing Illustrator to create charts which is perfect except for the highlighting flow issue.

Two PDF's - 1 created from Illustrator and the other Acrobat. Same colour is different in both. Why?

Two PDF's - 1 created from Illustrator and the other Acrobat. Same colour is presented differently in both pdf documents. Why?

Hi - sorry pressed send too quickly....
I have two PDF documents that show a sample business card in PDF.
One was apparently created through illustrator and is the focument for the printers ... it is this document that shows a completely different colour to the one that is in the other PDF that was apparently created in Acrobat. Though designers assure me that they are exactly the same patenone and that it's the software interpretting it.
What i dont understand is why the colours would look different using the software from the same company....and why designers would put up with this as a basic layman it just looks plain wrong to me.

Creating user in XML Publisher

Is it possible to check for username and password from database instead of creating it from XML Publisher.I directly want to create dynamic xml from my jsp page and after checking valid user name and password,it will show the report.I am told that i don't have to login from XML Publisher home.It will internally check user name from database.
Thanks in advance

Links to PDFs Created with Illustrator Won't Work

I am using CS3. I create a document in Illustrator, save it as a PDF, and create a link to the PDF either through our website developer or through a newsletter program I am using. If I create the PDF using other programs (such as MSWord or Excel), the link works fine. If the original document is created using Illustrator and then saved as a PDF, the file will open directly as a PDF no problems. However, when I link to the PDF, the PDF downloads about 95% to 99% and then just stops on a blank page. Sometimes I get the message that the download is done; sometimes it just sits there at 95% downloaded and never progresses. Anyone else experience this?

That's weird. Did you try and run the "Optimize" stuff in Acrobat? Perhaps it still has some references and fancies turned on that are unsuitable. Also there may be something up with your Internet Zoen surveillance and Illu simply not be an trusted app, so your PDFs are flagged as risky by the system...

Need to edit text in pdf file created in Illustrator CS6

I need for someone else to be able to edit text in a pdf I created from Illustrator. They have full acrobat and should be able to edit it. I have tried it myself to test before sending it but it's not working. The original file was created in Illustrator CS6 and saved as a pdf (text has not been created outlines). I opened the file in acrobat and saved it out as an extended file to be able to edit the text but no luck. Need to be able to highlight existing text and change it. I have tried edit text tool but instead of a selection box around each line of text, it puts a selection box around all of the text. I can highlight the text and delete it but am unable to change it. Each individual text line needs to be editable. Is there something I need to do differently in Illustrator to get it to work correctly in Acrobat?
If it helps- the file is a calendar and they need to be able to change the dates and events that are already there.

This really isn't a suitable use of Acrobat. You should all be using the same editing tool (i.e. Illustrator).
Extending files reduces the amount of editing Acrobat can do, it does not increase it.
The tool to edit text from Illustrator would be Edit Document Text. There is no guarantee it will break up nicely into lines, it's trying to help by making paragraph text.
Conceivably you could use a form for this (fill in the blank for dates) but really, you should be using the same tool. Not necessarily Illustrator, more Excel or specialist Calendar software.
