You have to bring the image into Adobe Illustrator. It doesn't really matter what format is used. The original, customer supplied files (JPEG images of mediocre to poor native resolution more than likely) can be placed into an Illustrator document. Then you'll have to create the vector-based cut...

An 80" X 247" image at 72ppi is big, but not extremely huge in terms of pixel count. I've designed bigger files, saved in TIF format and Roland VersaWorks had no problem ripping it. I wonder if there's some other things going on with the computer system (lack of RAM, not enough hard disc space...

For certain graphics effects I'll have identical complex objects stacked on top of each other, but isolated on their own layers. They stay more organized that way and are far more quickly locked or hidden from view. The hierarchy list in Object Manager is convenient. You can get by with only...

When you place the pdf or eps file into Illustrator are you getting any warnings about missing image links or anything of that sort? If you can see the red arrow within the PDF while viewed in Adobe Reader you might still be able to get it to come through in Illustrator. Don't open the PDF...

Don't use layers in CorelDRAW? Um, why not? If you have an especially complicated design what advantage is there in keeping it all crammed into the same layer?

Am I missing something, or was the recent CorelDRAW X6.3 update nothing more than a way to spam users into signing up for a "premium membership" subscription? They're gonna have to do a heck of a lot better than throwing in some QR Code and barcode functions (I can generate those things for FREE...

To be fair I had seen numerous discussion threads in the Adobe user forums About Adobe CS3 applications and compatibility issues with 64-bit operating systems. The first threads I saw involved Windows XP x64 Edition (it caused issues with Adobe InDesign, Acrobat, Adobe Type Manager and some...

Just tried backing up to a system restore point from 2 days ago. That didn't help. Probably going to have to nuke the OS and reinstall everything fresh. :rolleyes:

Adobe customer support? What customer support? They get you in a chat room, then do nothing to solve the problem and just point you back to their support page -which basically leads you to the forums where anyone in the "peanut gallery" can just spit-ball the problem Dealing with that this...

Went through the process of uninstalling, downloading and reinstalling Illustrator CS6. No dice. Then I found out a worse problem: all my 64-bit CS6 apps are NOT working. The 32-bit versions run OK. Nothing on the 64-bit versions. I'm running Windows 8 Pro, 64-bit and a new Dell XPS 8500...

My installation of Illustrator CS6 64-bit is flat out dead. It will not launch. The 32-bit version still works. The 64-bit version will not launch regardless of restarting the computer or trying to launch the .exe file under the "run as administrator" command. I've tried searching for an aiprefs...

I've been dealing with some headaches from time to time in managing fonts in Windows 7 and now with Windows 8 as well. The built in font manager within Windows seems like an improvement over the one built into Windows XP. Fonts can be organized in groups. You get thumbnail views of fonts...

IMHO, clipping masks should be used very sparingly. I also strongly believe in organizing Illustrator artwork on various layers to keep the elements more organized. If I receive an especially complicated piece of clipping mask infected artwork, I'll import the entire thing into Photoshop...

It's easier to design things in RGB color space to bypass strange issues with how various RIPs handle CMYK files, as well as all the color profile variables that come with handling CMYK. It's not too hard to control CMYK if you're handling everything in house. But when you have to hand something...

Hi folks, the typeface used in the attached image looks like a cross between Cosmos, Britannic and Imperial. I can't figure out what it might be. TIA for any help!

Basic info for my PC: CPU: Core i7 3770 quad core, 3.4GHz RAM: 24GB Video Card: 2GB nVidia GeForce GTX 660 Hard Disc: 2TB Sata 6 Gb/s hard disc with 32GB solid state cache Running Corel version 16.2.0.998 I can't seem to find a setting within CorelDRAW X6 to manually set the amount of RAM it...

AFAIK, if you're running Windows 8 -and that would likely be the case when buying a new computer- you'll be stuck having to upgrade to CorelDRAW X6. I tried installing CorelDRAW X5 but it wouldn't load. I had to order the upgrade. To get by I installed the trial version of X6. I couldn't install...

BUMP A day or two after I encountered this problem in Adobe Illustrator CS6 I found even worse things happening with computers running earlier versions. Now when I try opening a .CDR file in Illustrator CS5 (on my notebook, running Win 7 Ultimate) the program crashes completely. One of our...

Helvetica Neue Extra Bold Extended

At the beginning of December I upgraded from CorelDRAW X5 to version X6. The upgrade turned out to be necessary since my new desktop computer, running Windows 8 Professional 64-bit, refused to install X5. BTW, the new machine is a Dell XPS 8500 Special Edition pretty well loaded thanks to a...
