New on Adobe Illustrator-HELP
I'm looking for general comments on this software. I work for a travel agency in Louisiana and escort us hundreds of trips around the world throughout the year. We are trying to get the specific travel cards we promote on this trip routes. We found a route to another company who had a card on it, exactly as we wanted. So that the travel company referred us to a graphic designer, who said at that time, he used the creative suites Adobe with photoshop and illustrator. I looked inside and it seems that maybe what it takes. The only problem is we are a very small company and can't afford a graphic designer and have absolutely no experience with something like this. I'm trying to figure out if it's worth the $ expenditures on this software so you have to be an expert in graphic design at work, he. When I say no experience, I mean as we know how to turn on a computer, how to work in Microsoft word/excel/power point and basic applications. Someone at - it recommendations on what we can use would not be so advanced? Or maybe an another adobe which would be a little easier?
function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}
I'm trying to figure out if it's worth the $ expenditures on this software so you have to be an expert in graphic design at work, he.
If you're not an illustrator/designer and you have no Illustrator/designer on staff, you are barking completely the wrong tree. In fact, even if you were or had, I would say again that you think wrongly. Given your line of work, I would not even consider it appropriate for outsourcing. You really want to bear the cost and the delay inherent in making a chart of the card for each travel offer (and no doubt dozens of customer-specific changes)?
As a travel agency, you should think in terms of competitiveness, fretting not on ways to allow the generation of a bunch of specific purpose cards. Forget trying to become an Illustrator from one day to the next. Yours is a need of company internal critics. Being able to produce maps of itenerary on an on-the-fly, based on the needs should not be something that you consider same creating a continuous relative dependence to a graphic outsource.
You mentioned "of hundreds of cards." You are talking not just about graphics, you're talking about data. Illustrator is just an archaic general purpose page-design and construction manual program. It is a very inefficient tool for graphical data-dependent.
Use something appropriate. Go download the demo version of Microsoft Point Map, read the documentation and some basic tutorials. It costs about $300. You undoubtedly find valuable for your business way more than to simply an illustration of route map (which it can do). Your learning time will be invested a lot better here than in a silent drawing program. Point card is a graphical program dedicated specifically to the cards. Therefore, it is designed to interact with data in a spreadsheet or a database.
As for the latter, if your office is not competent enough already with a program database working group, I would highly recommend your also take a look at FileMaker Pro. In any business, you need a database application. FMP is immensely more affordable than the heavy and tedious Microsoft Access and more versatile and powerful, to start. For one example, which directly relates to your need:
FileMaker Pro includes a feature called a 'Web Viewer' object, which is essentially a graphic field which is used to a live web browser window. One of the files of demo which comes with the FMP is a typical contact database that contains a WebViewer. WebViewer is defined on GoogleMaps. You look through the records in the contact database, the WebViewer updates automatically to show the Google map of the recipient.
One morning recently, I was faced with a need to generate a list of the distances from a particluar address in different places about a thousand. Using this feature of basic (with a different web site) I built such a FMP solution and had the list well before the end of the day.
A working knowledge comfortable to use the Point and FileMaker Pro card at the same time would give you a serious competitive advantage over the other company if, in fact, that other company is dependent on an Illustrator help to acutally outsource for all his itenerary cards. And I'm talking about Office/trades here, not an entire career graphic learning curves.

New on Adobe need help with an if then statement
Hi, I really like what ADOBE Pro 9 can do with forms and neat and everything is included.
I'm having a problem trying to understand an if then statement for one of my forms and how to make it executable.
Here is what I have
I. Cigna Medical
(10) single $ 44.00
(11) Employee & Child (ren) $ 82.00
(12) Employee & Spouse $ 99.00
(13) Family $125.00
(14) Decline Coverage $0.00 Choice: _ Amount: $_
An employee will be choice an optiopn 10-14 and but that number of choices. After I am about to fill with this number.
For instnace, if an employee takes option 11, choice: 11 and amount: $ 44.00
I put the options in a menu drop-down. The drop down menu is titled CignaMedical and Amount_1 title for amount: $_ and I made a text box. I put this code: if (this.getField("CignaMedical").value == '10') {}
Amount_1 = 44.00} tab calculation of properties for the Amount_1 of text box on the custom calculation script tab.Any help is greatly appreciate
Yes, you can use an if-else if construction. Something like that (I got the first part because we reuse it):
CignaMedical = this.getField("CignaMedical").value;
If (CignaMedical == '10') {}
44.00 = Event.Value;
} Else if (CignaMedical == "11") {}
Event.Value = 82.00;
} Else if (CignaMedical == '12') {}
99.00 = Event.Value;
}
etc.

Adobe Illustrator can create this kind of arts?
Hello people from Adobe, I want to draw and color fancy stuff.
Ultimately I want to draw something on this level:
http://media.Blizzard.com/wow/media/artwork/trading-card-game/series5/TCG-series5-006-full .jpg (with illustrator only, but if necessary I'm willing to switch to Photoshop)
But I want to go even further and animate such an image at this level:
Lady Vashj GIF | Create, discover and share on Gfycat
Adobe Illustrator help me to do this kind of arts? I don't have any sensitive tablet, so I choose to use Illustrator to photoshop, but I don't mind using both if which is recommended?
What is your opinion about that...
The thrust of this article is a "sales pitch" for vector graphics, based on the premise that a raster imaging software (Photoshop) is inherently more for use of a stylus and a vector program (Illustrator) is inherently more designed for the use of a mouse.
First of all, it's a false premise. The raster and vector prédatent pen tablets. I rarely use a stylus, but use raster and vector programs every day. Second, the use of a particular type of pointing device is unrelated to your question.
Consisting of (as article phrases it) "a splash of pixels," raster imaging lends itself to detailed texture. That is why it is used in photography. (It is not called Photoshop for nothing.) A vector is essentially a list of orders for forms of rendering.
But you talk more artistic style illustration original than the technical differences between raster and vector graphics. A wide range of styles can be executed to choose the type of program. Yes, raster imagery is metaphorically compared to 'paint' and graphics vector is equivalent to "drawing." But it's just an analogy, and you should not consider too literally.
Think about the foolishness of draw or paint grains of sand to a beach to draw. If working with a brush or a pencil, an Illustrator return individual grains of sand as a camera does. What he suggests a texture Sandy using nature of its medium.
It's that way with the creation of works of original art with vector raster graphics and Imaging. You use the nature of the medium chosen to suggest of things like texture, lighting, etc..
For example, go to Corel.com (I say this because that Corel is currently many examples for end-user near the root of the site) and click the link for more CorelDraw Graphics. Take a look at the combination of raster (including photography) and objects used in a single vector illustration.
Is no longer either / or. You must be proficient in both raster and vector graphic based on. Then you will discover what your particular illustration style (s) can accomplish in one or the other or both types of programs.

So, I recently reinstalled Adobe Illustrator draw (again) because she kept response to crush/No. whenever I go into the app. I could get back to my projects, but now he kept showing a "pop up" that says: "this project was created by a newer version of Adobe Illustrator draw and cannot be opened in this version." I knew this version of Adobe Illustrator to draw I feel currently is an old version, but I can't seem to find a way to upgrade to the latest version. What should I do?
Cookie,
I thought it was GooglePlay now, but I see no more. You can get the beta by joining Adobe Android Apps - community - Google + and then go to this link to learn how to get the version beta https://plus.google.com/101146399386092670308/posts/CfcX4wgoCEX that (I don't think that this link will open for you until you join page).
Before doing all this, make sure that your work is synchronized to creative cloud by connecting you with your Adobe Adobe Creative Cloud ID
Let me know if you need help with anything whatsoever.

Hi all, I'm quite new here and I really need help!
I have purchase a plan from month to month for Adobe Illustrator and it does not at all! Creative cloud does not recognize my subscription even after receiving an email of confirmation of purchase from them. I'm really angry that there is not anyway to email Adobe or call them (I'm in Singapore).
I check my account on the website and it says that I can't look at my plans/subscription now for maintenance.
Which means that anything that I can do, even if I want to terminate the program now. It is a very overwhelming experience T.T
Thanks in advance!

My keyboard in Adobe Illustrator shortcuts do not work after the new update
Hello
I like many others have done the new update of software for the Mac - OS X Yosemite. And theres been a few bugs I've experienced. With my internet slow Adobe Creative programs moved upward.
Primarily Adobe Illustrator CS5.5 - first was police preview play but have fixed that with reduced transparency option. But now, and the most annoying is control keyboard keys do not work.
Main ones I noticed so far are: remove, shift + control something, i.e. shortcuts toolbar selection tool (V) etc.
Its incredibly annoying and is actually interfering with my ability to work especially that of simple deletion. I have seen many similar questions but to other programs and the other versions of the suite. Please if someone have a solution or please Adobe gives us the key to solve this problem because this is a major drawback and stops at productivity.
Thank you very much

Adobe Illustrator CC 2015 does not not when opening files new or existing
Hi, as the title suggests, when I try to open a new file or existing, either in the lobby or an .ai file, Illustrator simply does not and does not give an error message. Only Illustrator has this problem, the other suites adobe do not.
Illustrator worked for me a few days ago, but my com hung who made me do a forced reboot. The next time I tried to open it, this problem occurred. No other changes have been made to the operating system since then.
Version: Adobe Illustrator CC 2015 19.2.1
OS: Microsoft Windows 8.1 64 bit (version 6.3, 9600)
What I tried:
- Preferences to remove and reinstall
- Uninstall everything by deleting preferences and resettlement
- Removed using cleaning Adobe CC tool, resettlement
- Completely reinstall suite together.
- Update the graphics driver (Intel HD 4000)
Any ideas to fix this? Thank you!
Resolved from the solution posted here:
Problem was with the default printer set for my computer. Illustrator tries to connect to the printer, which was not available, so fails to connect, and unresponsive. Fixed it by changing the default printer.

Need help using the intersect tool (Adobe Illustrator CS5)
Currently, I'm learning to do a Fox in Adobe Illustrator CS5 a tutorial online, however the intersect tool in the area of pathfinder does not work the way I want. I have two pieces of the tail I'd like to set up to aid intersect, but it keeps cutting it incorrectly. Here's what it looks like before and after clicking on intersect:
After:
However, I tried to cut the end of the runway so that it looks like this:
Someone please help and explain what I am doing wrong, the answers will be greatly appreciated. I choose the tail and the end of the tail, but when I type intersect, the tail basically everything disappears.There is always an effect applied to the tail. You must first expand appearance (in the menu object)

I was not able to open my my Adobe Illustrator application after update. He says there are a few problems with the preference but after following the instructions, Illustrator still does not work and it keeps giving the samei question. Help, please.
I think you are talking after upgrade to CC 2015 you're not able to launch I. Also, I believe you speak for read only matter of preference.
After following the instructions please do not launch Illustrator and check your file preference if the permissions have been set correctly. A good way would be to get inside the preferences folder and then try to create a file manually. If it succeeds, please write to [email protected]
A few external links to help you set permissions:

OS X Yosemite: set permissions for items on your Mac
WIN
Set, view, change, or remove permissions on files and folders
