Illustrator text on a path with a gradient from top to bottom?

Try to get a gradient to text on a wavy path.

I found problems / very similar answers, but not quite this one...

I'm creating a poster. There the text of PROGRAM of COMPOSTING MUNICIPAL BACKYARD (2 lines, backyard CITED above, then of COMPOSTING PROGRAM below)

The text has a light brown dark brown gradient running up and down on the whole text.

The text is on a green background.

They now want the green background to be a banner wave, and the text is inside the banner and follow the wavy shape of the banner.

And of course that the gradient must follow the wavy form of the text, so the tops of letters are the same light brown and the bottom of all the letters are the same despite Brown, dark letters are flowing up and down along the wavy shape of the banner.

I received my text as a result of the wave of the banner, and I have a version with the text now changed to the railways (and a composite path because it's two lines), but of course when I apply the gradient, the gradient runs directly through the letters instead of follow the wave.

Is there a way to do this? I found a method of creating a mixture and stroke following forms apply it as an accident, but not what I have to do here.

Thank you!

Quoz,

I think it is easier and better use a combination of follows, with the two curved lines of direct Type (especially if they have Anchor Points (numbers of) correspondent):

(A) direct select both the path of nofill who wear both sets of Type, then Ctrl / Cmd + X + B to bring to the back, then give them a fill and lock the Type of path together.

(B) attach the ends of the two lines so that they form a something like a distorted rectangle (you can select directly the end corresponding units);

(1) object > path > offset path by the distance down to the top of the text up/down the low text, this should give you a closed path extra with straight segments end;

((2) directly select the straight end of the segments and remove them with the winding of B rectangle), this should give you a line of top and a bottom line.

(3) give up and down the color that you want at the top of the letters above and below the letters down, the lines then object > mix > blend Options, with the smooth settings and align on the track, this should give you the transition of color behind the original lines;

(4) to unlock, then select the two curved lines of the Type and the object > compound path > make if not already;

(5) select the Type (Path) alive and the color transition and object > clipping mask > make.

    How is - what cut you a rectangle in 2 colors with a diagonal from top to bottom?  Once I draw a diagonal with the online tool I am at loss to create 2 color split?

    Rosemary,

    A simple way would be to:

    (1) give the rectangle a color, then Ctrl > Cmd + C + F;

    (2) use the direct Selection tool, and then deselect (click and empty space), then click on the opposite corner to the part where you want to keep the color, then press DELETE, then change the fill color to the other.

    Or, you can ClickDrag with the line tool along the diagonal line from corner to corner (guides are your friends), select it all and Pathfinder > divide, then select live from the triangle where you want to change the color and change.

  • [Help] - Illustrator CS5: thinning lines (paths) with width tool?

    Hello all, maybe it's my first post time on forums so forgive me if I made a mistake anyway.

    Well, to cut to the Chase, what I want to do is;

    I have an existing part of the drawing in Photoshop. It's just a single line of an animal, and it's a very clean room (no sketch lines whatsoever). I opened this file in Illustrator and used the wonderful Live Trace command which instantly makes a really nice version, crisper of the existing drawing.

    Now, I want to do is to thicken or thin portions of this newly made "Line Art". What I realized is that, if I, for example, use the pencil tool and draw a few strokes, I'm able to use with width tool (Shift-W, right?) to race "thinner" or "thicker". What I want to do is to emulate it on the piece of work that is generated using Live Trace.

    Such a task is possible? I tried 'Extension' or 'Live-painting"on the work, but I still cannot use the width tool.

    Could someone guide me on this? Thank you so much in advance.

    Wade, you can adjust your settings: just push the slider "race weight Max ' to the right. Then you will see that vectorization can indeed trace as stroke.

  • PDF with editable for Illustrator TEXT export

    Hi guys,.

    Can I export an InDesign to PDF and then be able to someone else with the Illustrator to open it and change its text?

    I make an announcement in the newspapers. I love working with InDesign, which is more flexible for text than Illustrator. My boss wants all the files that are editable by everyone in the office. The rest of the team to use Illustrator. I exported my InDesign file to PDF hi-res print mode which I suppose it save perfectly editable but when I open it with Illustrator text is editable but paragraphs are broken.

    Any solution to this problem? I would love to Illustrator and InDesign to work most commonly between two of them about the text.

    Thank you! ;-)

    Hi SebastiaoV,

    InDesign and Illustrator are very different in terms of ease of use and purpose. As recommended by Bob, you can change the 'text' in InCopy. You can also change the PDF file in Acrobat. I share the InCopy-InDesign Workflow links needed.

  • The fonts in Illustrator are swoop for use with a laser engraving? If not, how do I convert a font for a single path... not an overview of the police?

    The fonts in Illustrator are swoop for use with a laser engraving? If not, how do I convert a font for a single path... not an overview of the police?

    "I try to avoid cutting each line twice.  This is double the cost.

    I hear you. I was there for more than 30 years.

    There are very few single line fonts. And most of the people is the property of specific burning software (i.e. the TTF or OTF fonts). Apart from these burning programs, what had to happen is for a foundry of fonts specifically design a single font. And, from what I've heard of these smelters (for the last 30 + years), the market is too small. I'm not saying that they are correct, it's just that it is their perception.

    Good luck

  • How to create editable text on the path of the perl script

    Hello

    I'm lost. I have exhausted all possible ways but nothing works. My problem is easy to describe: I have a Perl script that creates a design, and the design should be editable in artificial intelligence. Drawing text on a path (curved text - drawing is an access plan).

    Now I don't like how I do - I want to just make it work. I can create all types of file with Perl if someone tells me what it should look like.

    I tried to create a SVG file with text on a path. It works and the resulting file can be edited in an editor like Inkscape SVG, including the full text on the editability of the path. But if I import this file into Illustrator (AI 10 and CS3), the individual letters still sitting on the road, but all of them are facing up (instead of regardless of the direction of the path is). If it does not work. Then I said ok, because the SVG looks fine in Inkscape, let me just export EPS form Inkscape and use in artificial intelligence. Now the file looks good in artificial intelligence, but the text has been converted by trace himself, with each letter on its own session - not editable. Next thing I've tried generates directly from Perl, using a PathText function that I found in the Cookbook of Adobe PostScript EPS. Once again the EPS resulting looks good in artificial intelligence and the text is correct, no curves - but still a time, all the letters is its own, so if you go there with the text and tool removes a letter, it leaves a blank spot, and if you insert a letter, it replaces the next letter. Duh!

    So I tried the opposite: make a text on a path in artificial intelligence and save, with the plan to look at the file and generate what is there with my Perl script later. Unfortunately, the file saved by HAVE contains a chunk of binary garbage (be they saved as editable SVG or as file) that does not lend itself to facilitate the interpretation of yours really.

    I'm really not much. And I'm willing and able to create any type of file. Everything I need is something that I read, and which translates a text on a path that is editable in artificial intelligence.

    Does anyone have a pointer to a documentation, or existing in any programming language, source code that could help me in creating such a file?

    Thank you

    I think you should look in the AI7FileFormat.pdf file (available many places online), specifically the pages 85 to 87 and 105 page, who speak of the operators of text, including text on a path.

    If we exclude the 4000 lines or so of boilerplate prolog and procsets, the code base for a text on a path is as simple as that:

    2 to
    1 0 0 1 - 4013.5 4715,5 0.4 Tp
    0 m 0
    0 200 400 200 400 0 c
    TP N
    0 tr
    TF/_Myriad-Roman 12
    (This text is in the path of access. \r) TX
    TO

    Record cleaning (first use cleaning brush/Style/Swatch action) file eps, version 6, and you shouldn't get any binary stuff.

  • Gradient from Illustrator and brush missing Windows

    Thank you

    Hank,

    Maybe it's time for the list (forget avbout 5), and you've probably been through the easiest at the top):

    The following is a general list of things, try when

    (A) the question is not in a specific file,

    (B) you have a printer installed, connected and turned on if it's a physical printer (you can use Adobe PDF/Acrobat Distiller as a printer by default without the need to have a printer on, of course you will need to specify when you really need print on paper), and

    (C) It is not caused by problems with opening a file from external media (see below).

    You tried/made some of them already; 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically preferences might be corrupt); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

    If possible / there is, you must record a current work first, of course.

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer (you can make up at least 5 times);

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

    4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you can find the file here:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Illustrator/KB/preference-file-location-Illustrator.html

    5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

    Even worse, you can:

    (6) (check the box to delete the preferences), run the cleanup tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC) to uninstall and reinstall. It is important to use this step three way: otherwise, things may persist.

    You can be by selecting the pen tool as you said. You must select the path text tool. It turns into a pen when you need to.  See this quick tutorial.

    I have a path with a fill to which I applied the extrude and bevel 3D effect.

    What I would like is to create a modifiable object path as it appears with the 3D effect applied, so Illustrator treats the effect as 'flat', if you know what I mean

    It is a nuisance for a long time for me, but I can't exclude that I simply failed to find the right way to disable this behavior.

    In addition, C:

    For my own use, I wrote some Javascript AI, JET_CloseSelectedPaths.jsx, which closes a path in the way that narrow box that FreeHand is for pre-existing incoming handles.

    Read the descriptions on the page, and you will find a few others in the same collection, which even use workaround for things that FH users take for granted about two decades ago. (Illustrator only devout, of course, should stay away from them because, you know, they use HAVE for a long time, so I should not em.)
