• Text block path-> the text along the path of the resulting stream

  I am trying to create a text effect in small characters following the outline of the text very large block "BOLD" (see photo).  The idea I had was to create the 'ME' in very large print text.  Then convert this text in object / path using "object-> flatten transparency...->"convert all text to describe.  Then, select this path and use the type tool ' along the way '.  However, when I use this process, the way that results is a path that does not work, that is why the long path Type tool.  Guidance on how to achieve this?  The picture below I just used a pencil to draw the letters (quick and dirty) but the result is choppy, etc..

• Reverse the flow of the text along a path?

  I have created a path to the oval text using a shape tool.  When I type along the top of the track, the lettering is flowing as it should.  When I type the lower part, it is upside down and backwards because the stream is the same as the top.  How to reverse the flow of the text at the bottom is the place and reads left to right?  Can't find info on how to reverse the direction of flow.  Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

  OK, finally successful: Type around the top half above the lettering.  Reposition the tool text down and continue typing, even if upside down.  Select the path Selection tool, drag the text down to the INSIDE of the oval that will right the text correctly.  Select the text that you want to go then it appears highlighted, go to the window "Select the vertical offset" (not the slider to the left of it) and press down as many times until it is aligned with the bottom of the oval, in my case about - 5.  For larger slices of movement, hold the SHIFT key while pressing the down arrow key to count 10 movements.  The upper part of the lettering will line up correctly with the oval shape.

  Thank you, Trevor, for the right direction to follow.

• Cannot type text inside a path

  Hello

  I followed some tutorials online on how make custom shaped text boxes and they say all create a path and then when you put the text inside the path tool, there should be a dotted circle and the text that you create will be linked by this way. I created the way I want, but there is no circle dashed when I put the text inside the path type tool and I can't type the text that you will be bound by the path. Here's a screenshot of my worskpace: http://imgur.com/kLE5GbU . I use Photoshop CS5.

  Thank you

  Yes, I think maybe that's her.  Type inside a path does not work if the path is not fully enclosed.

• Draw a line along a path.

  Is it possible to draw a line along a path?  Then use the timeline looks like it not you draw on signing your name.

  It is not possible to animate again but I think that the vectors are on the list somewhere down in things to add. Some people have found a work around to make masks. You can search in the forum about this. Just, I think it would be more difficult with writing although I used it a few times and it's a lot of time and not quite right.

• Text along a circle

  Well, I've seen a tutorial on this, and I think that my preferences in illustrator is maybe different or changed up a bit (mac)

  Whenever I click to add text to this path, it starts the text to a different point on the path instead of directly where I clicked. If you can see, to the left side of the circle where it says 'path' in green. This is where I clicked, but as you can see that the text would start a little further on the right side

  How can I change this

  

  EDIT

  Also I will add. Once I have my text, it is more selectable. After typing I switch up to my direct selection tool and as I fly over the text, nothing happens. I can't select it, I can only select the blue bars on the sides of it. I want to be able to select my text also. The blue bars should not be at the end and the beginning of the text, not so far away from him

  

  You posted in the wrong forum, but I think I can answer your question without worrying. The green stuff are collections of information Slam, the text is still always initially placed at the first vertex of a path wit put hrespect to the chosen in the form of options for kerning / spacing etc... You can change that as soon as the text was created by dragging the text anchor...

• Is it possible to search for "text on a path?

  I need to be able to search for all occurrences of the text on a path. How do I do that?

  This should give you a report from where you have paths to text in your document as a whole:

  var doc = app.documents[0];
  var foundPages = [];
  var foundItems = 0;
  for(var idx=0;idx0){
        foundPages.push(doc.pages[idx].name);
        foundItems++;
      }
    }
  }
  if(foundItems>0){
    var newDoc = app.documents.add();
    var frame = newDoc.pages[0].textFrames.add();
    frame.geometricBounds = GetLiveBounds(newDoc.pages[0]);
    frame.contents = String(foundItems)+"  text paths found on pages:\r" + foundPages.join(", ");
  } else {
    alert("No Text Paths Found!");
  }
  
  function GetLiveBounds (page) {
    var bounds = page.bounds;
    return [

• Text on a path not to export in PDF format

  This announcement, I'm just in case there is an easy solution, but I suspect that the architecture of a particular CS4 file is damaged in a weird way that only affects exporters text on a path in PDF format.

  Most of the examples of text on a path in this document will not export to PDF, and I have a suspicion that the problem may occur only after a certain number of page - but that is not confirmed. Tried anything that I don't gets me the text in an exported PDF, and that includes almost all the possible combinations of the export settings by changing the layers, masking layers, restoration OSX and reloading CS4.

  One thing can work: as a test, when I moved a page to a new document, text on a traced is exportable. I didn't have no more in that direction immediately, in the case where there is a difficulty that is easier than moving 813 pages at once, which crashes CS4 when I tried it.

  Any suggestions?

  Under the banner of 'better late than never', this bug is now fixed in the 6.0.4 update.

• ID CS4 - text on a path does not print

  Hello experts,

  I'm nervous of preparation very big book for printing (Bible, 1300 + pages, very complicated layout). Everything was done in ID CS2 and several reprints have been OK - now I jumped to CS4 converted the book and that's problem is here. Text placed on the upper edge of the frame (through type on a path tool) disappears in PDF (snapshot included) resulting. However, the text in the frame itself is OK. Problem is that the path is a part of the textflow, so it cannot be easily replaced. It was absolutely impossible (for me) to force the ID to print the pages correctly (print or export worked). I reinstalled everything suite CS4 - and now about 75% of cases are OK the rest once again not. (before reinstalling nothing of the text was OK...)

  I can't change the layout or positioning of executives because ID will begin to recompose the text (works by this composer CS4 sometimes differently compared to CS2 ) is very risky because of the necessary additional proofreading. I can't yet go back to CS2 document - tried by INX double conversion - failed - text mentioned above is still invisible. And the original document from CS2 cannot be used because of the hundreds of corrections for new edition that all of them were made in CS4. So now what to do - I would really appreciate help from experts.

  Vlad Jurco

  Very well. I got the file and looked it over. Here are my findings:

  There seems to be an obscure bug in InDesign.

  Here's what happens:

  Vlad sent me a 178 page document. Most of the text flow between

  single and multiple blocks of text column, with under section headers

  text on the path of several blocks of text column beneath them. The

  first of all, 89 pages exported correctly. All pages from the 90th

  page exported without text on the path.

  (1) it does not appear that corruption of the text boxes. I created

  new images with text on path and text exported still hurt.

  (2) it doesn't have to do with the length of history. I have

  divide history in the Middle, and the same text was still missing on

  Export

  (3) export (text marked, etc.) Changing settings do not seem to

  have an effect.

  (4) the export of parts did not help.

  (4) after the split of the text, I removed all pages before the

  problematic page and the missing text was all there on the export.

  I conclude that this is a bug involving

  (a) text on a path

  (b) that belongs to the text Threading

  (c) on page 90 and on.

  If anyone is interested in building a new doc to confirm this; be my

  Comments!

  I see two ways to solve the problem.

  (1) divide the documents all less than 90 pages.

  (2) cut the text of the text on the path and paste it into the new text frames

  (while removing the paths of the Threading).

  Since there are a lot of Mid-page overlap heads; If you were building

  This from scratch, I would recommend using column flow here: http://www.in-tools.com/plugin.php?p=4

• 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.

• 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.

• text on a path between each letter in XML svg

  Whenever I have to make a bow and put the text on it via the type on a path tool, then Center it, it looks perfect. But when I save it as an svg, and then re - open it, it says: "text on path will be flattened," change the code svg and split the letters as well as the smoothing of text curve. It is a problem because I hang in the id to dynamically change the text on my site. It also seems that if I do the export option, the code is also as an example #2.

  Here's the code before I open it new.

  As I said back and forth SVG is a problem.

  Some problems occur when you save the file,

  others may occur when you treat more SVG code

  then Illustrator don't even fully understand the SVG code, he wrote.

  So save a file HAVE for editing

  and a SVG for download on the web.
