Hi,

You have to go to Illustrator Preferences (Edit / Preferences) and in the “Selection & Anchor Point” section you have to check the option “Show handles when multiple anchors are selected” and click ok to close the window.

Then select the object using the direct selection tool (white arrow tool) as in the example attached. You can make a…

Your question is how do you create a pattern for fabric?

Hi,

It seems you’re forcing the full paragraph to align as a full block as in the attached screenshot1, is that correct?

If so, you need to adjust the paragraph justification so the last line will align properly instead of leaving big gaps between the words.

Open the paragraph menu and then click on the paragraph menu options. Select “Justify”…

Hi,

It should be under Align panel:

The “Use Preview Bounds” option is in the flyout menu of the Align palette.

Also you can find in preferences menu:

Edit / Preferences / General / check “Use Preview Bounds”

Hope that helps

Creating a flare effect on a white background is not possible because the flare is usually a white shine on a surface, so a white background or a white surface cannot be whiter to reflect the shine.

An option to shine a clear background would be to make the surface “off white” applying maybe a color like #FAF9F6 or #F5F5F5. That way the background…

Hi,

I would recommend you to do that effect using the blend tool in Adobe Illustrator. That way you can create the transition maybe in 3 steps from small circle to big one and vice-versa, and the blend tool will create automatically the blending based on the specified steps between each one of them. Then you can create multiple lines of blending…

Yes, please. That would be great! Thx!

Not really. The problem is that CS6 doesn’t identify the text as “editable text” but as paths so the layers are not editable. That’s why you need a newer version of Illustrator to edit the text.

That’s the problem. Illustrator CS6 was released in 2012. That’s 12 years ago so the functionality of the layers and integrations of the newer versions don’t work correctly with previous versions. If you want to edit the text in that file you need a newer version of Illustrator.

In which illustrator version are you opening the file?

You can install any of the files. It’s the same font is 2 formats, so it doesn’t really matter which one you install.

I don’t really see where you are looking for to see 300 layers. If you go to “layers” you’ll see just 4 layers and one of them is Editable text group “Edit this” layer. If you want to replace the text or change the font you just…

I just checked the document and if you install this font in your computer you’ll be able to edit the text in Adobe Illustrator

Let me know if that works. Thx!

Hey,

could you upload the AI file so I can check how it was built? Just want to be sure that it’s an editable text first of all because otherwise you would have to rebuld it, but in my opinion if it’s not editable it would be better just to rebuld the file if you have the font since you basically would need just the text and to apply a 3D…

The arrow that you see on top of the page indicates that you placed a “start” of a new section. To remove this, make right-click on Page 1 of the document and select Numbering & Section Options. Then remove the check start section. I could implement any new pages in the document after that. Check the document that I sent you.

Could you send it to madridnyc@gmail.com so I can check?

Did you try to change the number pagination? Maybe one of the problems was that you were trying to add new pages in the same section before page 1. If you do that, InDesign doesn’t allow to include pages before page 1 because that would be negative pages. What you can do is to create several sections for the book under the page numeration section.

Hi,

Could you send me a video or something to show me how you’re implementing the new pages before chapter 1? Thx!

Did you test Illustrator in Root Account?

The Root Account/ Hidden Admin Account has unrestricted read and write privileges to all areas of the file system so it might be your issue with that. You can follow the steps from that link to log in to the Root account/ Hidden Admin…

Hi,

TypeStyler is a software to make creative texts and effects similar to Photoshop so the effects and techniques are different than in Adobe Illustrator and more similar to Photoshop. But if you want to turn your texts and shapes in Illustrator in a similar way you would have to use the 3D tools.

You can do that if you create the shape and…

Hi,

There is no way to create multiple artboards in illustrator with different sizes from the beginning. An option would be to create a different box shape with the size that you need. That way if you need 15 different artboards with different sizes you can create 15 boxes and then go to “object” menu / Artboards / fit to selected art.

This way…

Hi

You can find the blur tools/effects from the overhead menu Effect > Blur (under Photoshop Effects) and choose one of the effects to blur your image.

Illustrator, as a vector-based software, doesn’t have a realistic Blur Tool. So if you want to blur an image I would recommend you to use photoshop, which will give you more precise e…

Hi,

It seems you’re trying to work with grouped or ungrouped shapes. If you do that each shape will work as an independent shape when you make a 3D object.

I would recommend you to create the desired 3D effect as a grouped design.

Use Object > Expand Appearance from the menu — but the 3D effect will no longer be “live” and editable aft…

Hi Erik,

If you want to merge 2 shapes in Illustrator you have to use the Pathfinder window (Window / pathfinder). Then you have to select the 2 shapes that you want to merge and click on the first “shape mode” icon which is “Unite”. This way the shapes that you’ll select will be merged into one single shape and you’ll have one single path with

Hi,

You would have to create a spread page (2 pages with half of the width of your current page) and start the page number as page 2 so you can see the correct spread position as you had previously. After that, you would have to adjust manually the entire content (which should be easy if it’s just one box or if you have the content of each page… Read more

Hi Igor,

This seems to be a font-related issue, not a hotkey or functionality issue. Sometimes, there are some instances of fonts (especially default system fonts like Minion, Times, Myriad… which have different versions on each system like Apple, Adobe…), and sometimes this affects also when you make the indesign package. My recommendation… Read more

Hi André,

You would need to create a master page, and then duplicate that initial master page and apply the color changes.

This way you can use the same master page but with a different color or even different text for each section.

Then you just have to apply the specific master page to all the pages of that section.
