While it looks like IllustratorCS3 is finally getting more anchor point editing tools, the stuff shown in the CreativePro article and aboard the Adobe website isn't clear on whether we'll finally have functions like anchor point alignment and a few other technical drawing oriented transforms...

Yep. Flexi requires a re-launch when font changes are made. CASmate did as well. Years ago I used Adobe Type Manager Deluxe to create special font sets and activate/deactivate them. After awhile of doing that, I grew tired of it. The process actually complicated things and wasted time. Not to...

I wish it were possible to import vector paths into Photoshop from the File>Open dialog box. Instead of placing EPS files into Photoshop, I prefer to simply copy them into Photoshop via the clipboard from Illustrator. CorelDRAW and Flexi cannot do that since they do not support the AICB paths...

Steve, You'll find the standard "zoom" toolbar under the "Window" menu and "Toolbars" flyout. I found there were certain functions, such as the "one shot zoom" tool not present. But you can customize that. It's tricky to find. Go to the "Tools" menu and select "Options" it will open up a...

Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium is definitely the graphics suite to buy if you're doing any professional level four color print-based publishing. InDesignCS2 is arguably the best page layout program available. It's integration with Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat Pro is unmatched. Still, I...

The "tiger" version of OSX is going to be geared toward top end G5 Macs and Intel-based Macs. It may run really slow on older G4 systems. In order to run Bootcamp and install a full version of WindowsXP Pro as a 2nd OS you must have an Intel-based Mac. That's actually one thing I am going to...

Corel's envelope function is not very accurate when it comes to manipulating complex objects. Often the distortion effect will have inconsistent results for various objects in the envelope. I think IllustratorCS2 does a better job in this respect, although some of its results still leave a bit...

BUMP. Well, after investigating just about every possible solution I finally "punted" and did a factory reset on my work computer to get CorelDRAW X3 to install again. My machine is a Dell Dimension 9100 running WinXP ProSP2 (Pentium D 840 CPU, 2GB RAM, GeForce 6800, yadda yadda yadda). Did...

I have seen this procedure described before. What I would like to know is how you get into the Upgrade Table or whatever dialog box has this stuff in order to execute the procedure. Where do you go in Windows to do it? As for questions about checking the registry, I've been through it...

I tried downloading the latest version of Windows Installer available on Microsoft's website (version 3.0). The package refused to install, stating the one on my machine was a newer build. (edit) I found a version 3.1 of the Windows Installer. It sucessfully installed. But I'm still getting...

Pro Signs, you lose $100. I don't use IE at all. I'm strictly a Firefox user. The only version of IE on my machine is what came with WinXP Pro SP2 (some variant of IE 6). I've gone through the Windows registry manually and deleted every mention I could find relating to Corel, as well as running...

Yep. Did that already, although it was a good suggestion. System Restore didn't do squat. It only told me it could not restore to the previous point I chose. Oh well. I've been web-searching more and more into this "Error 1714" thing and it seems to point more and more to an issue with...

I've waited and waited for Corel's tech support people to get back to me on this problem and haven't had any luck with the CorelX3 Usenet newsgroup either. So I'll try here to see if anyone has had this problem: Currently, CorelDRAW X3 is "dead" on my computer. I cannot get the application to...

The absolute greatest, most phiggidy phat of "must have" righteous fonts are listed in the GIF attachment to my post. You know you just wanna have 'em.

The three newest computers at our shop have dual layer DVD+/-RW burners and DVD-ROM drives in the second optical drive bay. Most others have CD burners. My 1 year old notebook has a dual layer DVD burner as well (purchased at a time when that was still a fairly expensive option). Now that...

I think you have to actively collect and then "cherry pick" good typefaces from larger collections. CorelDRAW is probably the best starting point for adding something alonside your dedicated sign making program, even if you don't use Corel. The 1000 fonts bundled are high quality and from...

If you need it for a legitimate commercial signage job they should be willing to provide it and color/usage guidelines to you. But if you don't want to wait, I'd scour Oracle's website for PDFs that may contain an authentic vector-based version of their logo.

With regards to Adobe CS2 and Adobe Production Studio, I move all the standard OpenType fonts from the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts folder and save them elsewhere. The only ones I leave behind are the Asian-based fonts and the Type1 Fonts in the Reqrd subfolder. With CS2 Premium you...

Some of those programs are pretty good for basic PDF creation -if that's all you need. Owners of Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium have a number of extra PDF creation capabilities not provided by the free or cheap utilities. IllustratorCS2 and InDesignCS2 can both create layered PDFs, even with...

I don't condone the practice, but font piracy is a very widespread sort of thing. I would even say it is even more widespread than the blantant pilfering of Adobe software titles. There's lots of free font websites out there. But I'm not sure if they do more to hurt the situation further than...
