Use Illustrator for several page document?

I'm usually the FrameMaker and, to some extent, areas of InDesign, but a potential client asked me to work on a document for them.

They are doing a reference guide fast (I guess a single sheet folded into six panels, or multiple sheets folded and stapled into a booklet) and plan to do in Illustrator.

I've done these before in InDesign, but wanted to know if there is some capacity in Illustrator to make the document there, for one of the above formats.

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!

Stairs:

Yes!

To do this, you use the functionality of the artboard in Illustrator. When you create a new document, specify the number of workplans (aka pages) you need and the amount of space between, etc. Once you have your document updated in place, to zoom out and see all the work plans outlined in the grid you specified. If you don't see it, make sure that "show the work plans" is checked in the view menu.

You will not be able to create a master page, as you can in India, but you can stick to the same place on all work plans - I think that the command (mac) is command + shift + option + V. Cut you the original (command + x) item and then paste it in place on all pages.

Interesting information:

  • If you open the palette of the artboard, you can name the work plans. When you export, say described SPE, you can choose 'use work plans' and you will get a separate eps file for each WITH THE NAME of the palette of the graphic board work plan, plus a file with all the plans of working together. Record in PDF format made a several page PDF as you would expect. You can choose out of a work plan.
  • Also, with the artboard open palette, you can double-click on a name of the artboard and Illustrator will pass to the artboard in format full screen. Very convenient when you have a lot of work plans.
  • You can change the layout of your work plans by clicking in the upper right of the palette of the artboard and choosing reorganize work plans (or something close to that). Make sure that everything is unlocked, otherwise they move with the new drink.
  • And finally, you can change the size of a work plan using the work plan of the tool palette tool or by double-clicking the artboard icon in the palette, which will bring up a dialog box...

I'm a fan of InDesign, I feel your pain. One of my clients is a manufacturer of items sold at retail for which we design and prepare for the printing of many packages/donor cards, etc. Before the existence of the function of work plan, we had a separate Illy file for each SKU. He permits to be much more organized, and you don't get hit with seven gazillion files when you open a folder. (I tried to get them to convert into India, but really, it is not set up for this type of use, so I had to learn the ins and outs of the Illustrator and have come to appreciate for many things. Unfortunately, manipulation of type is not one of them, but it is designed to make designs, not the value type).

Good luck and best regards - D

  • HP Universal print driver: printers use duplex for single page documents

    Here's our environment: Print Server Windows 2008 with many different printers HP HP, using UPD. Customers running Windows 7 x 64.

    We configure default duplexing for environmental issues. When a single document page is printed, the printer uses duplex; After the printer page, it brings back the paper to 'print' the empty side of the single page document!

    We lack something hidden in the configuration of the printer? Or isn't smart enough to single-side print when driver/printer duplex is active and only need to print?

    Best regards

    Change the driver on the print server has solved the problem. I discovered that the "smart duplex" was working when printing directly to the printer (IP). We use v5.2 PCL 6 (61.112.1.9321). Changing to v5.9 PCL 6 (61.170.1.18326), which has solved.

  • My laptop locked after I use it for several minutes.

    Hello world

    I have a really annoying problem.

    My laptop is locked after I use it for several minutes.

    When I say locked, I want to say it is the place where shows my account name and below it says locked.

    As a first step, I think it is caused by the automatic locking of cuz I'm really annoyed by this last, I uninstalled it.

    However it still does not.

    Could someone tell me what the problem is on the Earth?

    It's maybe just because I really don't know with my new laptop.

    It's a power setting that determines how long before its entry in the screen saver, sleep more, or even in hibernation mode. You can change the requirement for a password (somewhere in the Windows screen saver section) or the duration before entering these modes (you should be able to define with the Lenovo Power Center thing). Of course, making one is a security risk, but it is up to you as to how much safety or comfort desired.

  • Using Illustrator for accurate drawings

    Hi guys,.

    If anyone has any advice for the questions that I have below it would be greatly appreciated. I know that all of the methods of work are different, but I'm having a hard time getting these answered despite the amount of redundant to information on Adobe products

    (1) when I see professional logos or type forms (I mean companies) and especially the curves are perfect. Is it possible to do that? It's pixel perfect. This reminds me of design with the old methods of the circle and french curves.

    (2) is it possible to get assistance with diagnol lines (so points on the same angle), curve precision from one point to another diagonly? I know that you can use the grid and then use move the handles by a amount of pixel, but making one side of the

    object is thick like another part?

    (3) I think typography is a great example and I have provided a below. Even after that sure that I know all the tricks to anchor manages, ect it's almost impossible to get a same curve width or serif.

    The image below shows a letter h and higher wheel base has been cut and illustrated by points.

    Thank you very much for the tips, pointers, or how work the other industry insiders!

    Illustrator is not a pixel based drawing software.  It is a vector path based on drawing software.  You should get to know the differences.  It is possible to make extremely accurately.  But, you must master the drawing tools and your ability to manipulate paths and anchor points.  I recommend that you give up your mouse for a tablet.  I would like to answer each of your questions:

    1. Yes.  Most of the text is policy based and then converted to outlines later in the production chain.  Curves are drawn more big and then reduced in size further down the production chain, like the old days.

    2. get used to order > operation M (travel) and duplication.  If you want a certain angle, use the tool rotation and entered the amount of degrees of your rotation in the rotation dialog box.  Like many other things in Illustrator, there are several ways of doing things.  You will learn more you use.

    3. the sample that you show has consistency very little because it is a script font.  But, if you draw a letter in his hand, you can use simple ovals and squares to help you maintain consistency.  For example, if your letter article is 1/16 "thick, create a rectangle 1/16" square and use it as a guide.  There are a lot of simple tools that you can use to help you.

    Do not forget this.  A good hand drawn text element can take hours, or even days to complete.  The software is not a solution where automated you a magic wand on the screen and the wha - la,'s done it.  Very rarely designers do not have to resort to hand-drawn text elements.  There are fonts than ever before.  In some cases, you can use a font for a quick start and then change some letters for everything that calls for your project.

  • What is the best way to store my Canon MX922? I'm not going to use it for several months (6 +).

    I don't use my printer for many months.  What is the best way to keep?  Leave the ink cartridges in the printer?  Get out them?  Store cartridges almost nine in a bag made of plastic?

    Hi mmosher,

    If your PIXMA MX922 should not be used for an extended period of time, please put your PIXMA MX922 using the power button on the unit.  It will be a "cap" of the ink tanks, so they will be ready to use when you print with your PIXMA MX922 once again.  No further action is required.

  • I use CS6 for several years. I is not open.

    CS6 using, have app will not open and when I try to reinstall disk, the window may not display properly. Apps for Photoshop and InDesign are fully functional.

    Success! I found an answer to adobe.com/getsupport. I made my way to a link to download CS6 and that worked perfectly!

    I felt that it is possible to continue to use previous versions of Adobe applications and then the train of thought, I could simply re-install everything what I had originally! (Maybe my drive is faulty).

    Thank you, Jacob, for your help.

  • Stop the text once several Page Document workflow is created

    I'm building a 300 more catalog pages and installing it, I created Masters with text boxes that flow from one page to the next. It has been very helpful at the beginning, when I would realize that I had to add something to the page 30 and I was on page 150.  But now that I'm basically done, and I'm just change - if I add the line on page 30 - all my titles and text from there on bumps out if I remember deleting a line offset.  I tried to turn off patterns, but instead of leaving things on the page I, he wants excess all text in there and I end up with a loaded cursor want me to tell him where to drop all of this text.


    Is there any way to fix this now that I'm at the end of the project without redo?



    One of the scripts that comes pre-installed with InDesign is called 'SplitStory.jsx '.

    It seems that all your blocks of text are threaded to one another throughout your 300-page catalogue. If this is the case and you want to break the thread between all these text frames, select one of them and run the SplitStory script.

    Once you have done this, you should find that your page layout is maintained if you add lines. Instead, if you add too many lines to fit a frame, it will become in excess, but won't push the lines in the next section.

    I would recommend a backup of your document in its current state before running the script, just in case later, you find that it is actually not so convenient that all the blocks of text are separated!
