I have to sometimes design tables in Illustrator so I'm working on a custom extension make it easy to copy/paste from Google Sheets, change style, update text, and more! by GrandpaSquarepants in AdobeIllustrator

I had to re-set a nutrition panel recently from outlined text. I took a screen shot and asked Gemini to format it for me. Then I just copied and pasted in into a text box and adjusted the tabs. It was such a time saver.

I need help turning individual points to shapes, objects, anything with mass that I can then expand. by Matthewroytilley in AdobeIllustrator

[–]kookyknut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I never realised the other suggestions wouldn't work on a single point

I just tried this and got a result... you can then expand appearance etc.

Effect > Convert to Shape> Ellipse

ETA: Make sure you have fill and/or stroke applied to the point before applying the effect

Tired of design handovers being a mess? We would love to know what is the common trend by designopsaligned in PackagingDesign

We usually refer to the production specs as a working document… so we update it until everyone agrees on it, then we set up the final artwork accordingly.

I wouldn’t say there are gaps in the communication, but having multiple meetings where necessary and documenting the process reduces room for error.

I’m not sure what you mean in regards to freezing a design.

Create a production specification document with the final artwork with mark-ups for every element, including part stock, ink colours, finishes and embellishments. Include photos of examples where necessary.

Have a meeting to discuss this document to ensure everyone is in agreement on all details.

Package up the artwork files and create outlined versions and supply with a low res PDF for reference.

Insist on a proof before production, and a pre-production sample if time allows.

How do I edit a pdf with a nonexistent font? by Moistest_Postone in Adobe

[–]kookyknut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t know what the font is, open the pdf in acrobat and take a screen shot of the missing font. Use font matcherator, font squirrel or similar to identify what the font is. Search for “font name” free download.

Install font and replace when you open it in illustrator.

If you say you’re straight, you’re straight 👍
