Combining separate text into single object...

I remember in older versions of Illustrator that when you used pathfinder to combine several objects into a single object... it actually made into a single object, regardless of the weather or not, they where cutting.

With versions more recent Illustrator, when you try to 'unit' objects pathfinder... the only ones that are actually combined into a single object are those that overlap... whatever it is separate is simply "bundled" and remains a totally separate object... even if you use "expand objects" on the group.

I try to use a third-party program (styler path) and the problem that I am running is when I apply a stroke effect to styler path, he treats each letter in my title as a separate object (even if United for pathfinder), causing the lines overlap the previous letter.

overlap.jpg

What I want to do is to combine all the letters into a single object (while still leaving space between each letter) so that the styler way treats the text (and edges) correctly. (Thus contours run in the other, instead of overlapping of the filling.)

Any help would be appreciated... This should be simple... but I think it may be a case of the program trying to preserve the history of objects 'United' when I don't want it.

Thank you!

  • Merger of Gradient shapes into single object

    I have 2 forms square on my artborad.  each square has its own background gradient.  I want to merge these 2 forms to a single form.  not a group of shapes, but a single, flattened object (complicated?).

    the gradient of the first place includes a zero-alpha.  the second image is simply two forms in layers, but I mainly want to flatten it to form a single shape.

    What are the steps to the merger of these forms into one form, so that their gradients are not affected by the merger with each other?

    You cannot merge forms.

    What you can do is to draw a new shape and apply to multiple fills via the appearance Panel and set each fill either the desired slope.

    Hello

    You should duplicate/move a spread instead of a page.

    Try simply change around L18 - 20 as below.

            var source_doc = app.open(source_file);
            var sourceSpreads = app.activeDocument.spreads.item(0);
            sourceSpreads.duplicate(LocationOptions.AFTER, source_doc.spreads.item(0));
            sourceSpreads.move(LocationOptions.AFTER, destination_doc.spreads.item(-1));
            app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.NO);

  • How to combine 50 documents into a single pdf file?

    Hello

    I just bought Adober pdf pack, but they did not say that I could combine 12 documents into a single pdf file. It seems so crazy so I can hardly believe it's true! I have just recevided a PDF with 70 documents into a pdf file so I wonfder wht program should I buy instead of this joke. I f I only 12 pages, it is not a problem to send in the form of documents in an e-mail as I repeatedly, doen. The pdf file must be exactly for those who need to send a large amount of files in a pdf file that is easy to live. Anyone out there who knows if I can change my pack to the one I need?

    Thank you

    Monica

    Hi monicaf5812809,

    The Pack of PDF from Adobe allows only to combine 12 files at a time, but you can batch convert and then combine these files more wholesale/combined as needed.

    The other option is to use Acrobat, which does not impose such a limit, because processing takes place on your desktop and not via an Internet connection. If you want to try Acrobat, you're welcome to-you can download a 30 day trial of http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

  • Separate an object into multiple objects w / Pen

    I am looking for a way to draw a single object, solid and then divide the object into multiple objects by using the pen tool. no other objects.

    Ex: Draw a solid cirlce, use the pen tool to draw lines on this circle (visually by creating different forms), then [be] with the original circle and lines drawn in pen to create the new objects/shapes.

    I've done this before by placing other OBJECTS on the original object and using the fracture or pathfinder trim switches, but using other forms (even online) has its limits.

    Any ideas?

  • Insertion of a middle Page of separate text on a two column layout box

    Hello!

    I'm working on a book with a layout in two columns.  At various times, I need to insert what are effectively the chapter breaks.  Currently I have a giant text block flowing for all 65 pages.  This provision is (I think?) made necessary by the scripts that I am running for our line numbers and our notes.

    My original idea was to put the chapter title in a separate text block and wrap the text around it, so that I can keep the unique setting of the main text.  Unfortunately, in the two-column layout, this means that the text in the first column went * under * the title of the chapter to complete the first column, no matter where I moved it.

    I think I may need to end the block of text of the first chapter and start a second for the new chapter get the result I want.  However, I have a few worries about that: first of all, if I ended up simply text block, I should remove the other 55 pages (after the break) I already partially formatted and screw them from scratch in the text box of the new chapter?  Secondly, I also fear that making a separate text block could ruin my scripts endnote and line numbers.

    (NB: if I need to put an end to this block of text and starting a new one, I can't find a way to do it on a page at the beginning of a block of text in several pages, so I need help with this, too.)

    Y at - it a simple way to insert this text box so that text of the first chapter ends perfectly in two columns above it, and the next chapter starts cleanly into two columns underneath?

    Please see attached screen captures, showing the current state of things.  The text box has been inserted with a simple wrap around it.

    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

    Hello

    Have you checked characteristic Columns Span integrated InDesign? http://InDesignSecrets.com/timesaver-span-and-split-columns-in-CS5.php

    Now that you have your text formatted in a single framework with two columns, you can select the chapter header text and tell him to cover all the columns in the text block.

    This warp the need to set up a separate text frame.

    The only downside I can think is that you use the the duration columns can slow down InDesign a bit.

  • Drop-down list that generates text in a separate text box

    Hello world.

    First of all, I don't know if this is even possible, but if someone can think of a way to make it work, please let me know.

    So, that's what I'm trying to achieve:

    1. Form with several drop-down menus.
    2. A user is working through the choice of subjects of drop-down menus
    3. Each topic has an export value which is a line of text
    4. (now, that's where I get lost) The value of exports is then combined in a long single line of text and put on the same pdf in its own text box.

    The objective is that the user can select each relevant topic and line of text is created, and then the user can copy it for their use.

    Is this possible? If so, does anyone have an idea how to do something like that?

    Thank you

    Michael

    Of course, and it's actually pretty easy. Let's say you set up all the values in the export of all items in your boxes (call them Checkbox1, Checkbox2, etc.), and that you have put in place a multiline text field. You can then use this code as the custom of this text field calculation script:

    Event.Value = this.getField("Checkbox1").value + "\n" + this.getField("Checkbox2").value + "\n" + this.getField("Checkbox3").value + "\n" + this.getField("Checkbox4").value;

    And that's all. The value will be updated automatically when a selection is made in one of these boxes.

    You can do in PSE.

    1. Do the math to see how much space you'll need on your canvas to the image and text.
    2. Navigate to the file queue > new.blank. Enter the width & height, background color, resolution 72 px / in. It is your canvas, and in the layers palette will be the background layer.
    3. Copy and paste the image. It turns on a separate layer
    4. Activate the tool move, position the image and resize if necessary
    5. Activate the text tool, and then type your text. It will be on a separate so layer
    6. Position the text.
    7. Flatten layers and go to file > save for web. I'm usually on the long side about 800 px. Don't forget to check "constrain proportions". Adjust the quality slider to suit. You will probably want the type of JPEG file for web work.

    What version of Premiere Elements, what operating system?

    With regard to your use Favorite Moments stripes from one project... in other words, in different project files.

    If you set the workspace of favorite Moments pads to go to the timeline as separate pads, you can selectively export each plate to a file saved on the hard drive of the computer. To do this selective export there are two conditions

    a. place the grey tabs of the work area bar to span just trim to export

    and

    b. in the field of export, have a check mark next to the share of work area Bar only.

    If you set to combine more than one compensator in the workspace of favorite Moments, you pass the composite in the timeline and export in the same way with the technique of selective export. Alternatively, if there is nothing else on the Timeline, simply export it to file.

    If please consider and let us know if you need additional information on this project. Questions or need any clarification on the above, do not hesitate to ask.

    Thank you.
