Your Photoshop file shouldn’t be causing the problem, unless it has a spot color channel.
Are you using spot colors in any of your Illustrator drawn objects? (A spot color is any of the swatches in the swatch palette that have a little dot in the bottom right corner).
If your file is destined for web or video, you can ignore the error. If it’s destined for print, it’s worth paying attention to, as spot colors separate unreliably when used with transparency.

I think you’ll get the look you want if you also fill it with the same color that you’ve stroked it with.

Are you converting the text to outlines first? It’s under the type menu, or shift-command-O.

Just communicate to your printer or service bureau that you’ve designed it to scale – tell them 1 inch should be output at 1 foot.

When you’re in the Pantone picker, either scroll to it and click on the specific number, or type the number in.

Cool trick. That’s new to me.

The only thing I can think of is full screen mode, which makes the area around the document black. The hotkey for that is F.

Assumed you were setting type in Illustrator, to which the above instructions apply.
I don’t know of a way to do that in Photoshop.

I think you can do what you want with an Opacity Mask if you create an opacity mask out of an object with a gradient applied. It’s in the flyout under Gradient (Create Opacity Mask). Check the help for info – I’ve only played with it, so I’m not going to be much more help, but I think it will do what you want.

Sounds like you want a Text Wrap.
– click and drag with the type tool to make your text box
– in the Paragraph palette, turn on Full Justification
– select the path you want the text to justfiy to, go to Object > Text Wrap > Make Text Wrap
– you’ll get a dialog box where you can set the width of the buffer around the object.
