I am trying to export layers from an ai file, but when I export the pngs they all come out centered. I need to export the layers so that I can assemble the layers randomly for example several different hats.

In previous versions of Acrobat Pro, I can number pages in roman numbers like i, ii, iii, ix, x,... (So that I can type these numbers to jump to the given pages.) But I don't find such an option in Acrobat Pro DC. Can anybody how to do this on MacOSX?
I want to ask two questions I can select multiple objects, and after that, if I click one of the selected objects, last clicked one becomes "active" or "super selected." What is the name of this selection, I could not find. How can I access this super selected object from Illustrator scripting? Document.selection jus...
In InDesign, it's possible to rotate a spread to facilitate laying out pages that are meant to be viewed sideways. On a rotated spread, the baseline grid rotates along with the spread—and that's not what I want. I want my line spacing and general typography to be consistent across the entire document, so I want to use ...

I have many files with a similar layer structure, but the layer structure is not exactly the same in each of these files. Each file has layers inside of layers; in other words, nested layers. One of these layers is called "mat outline", but the exact location changes from file to file. Again, it could be a sublayer,...
I want a script that will change a swatch in my Illustrator document, where this particular swatch is named “strap”.

So for about twenty minutes I just randomly pu...
Is it possible to export an artwork in Adobe XD with Font details of each text element printed near each respective text element. (This would avoid the inconvenient process of clicking each text and then scroll right sidebar to see font details.)
I'm curious about the copyright laws regarding using content someone else has created for profit. For example, Vecteezy is a site where designers upload their vector artwork for others to download for free. Could I use one of those images to help design something like greeting cards or stationary and sell them?
With pixelated characters all the rage and other annoying nfts. I'm wanting to find out if I can take an image and reverse the pixelation.

I have a hobby where I create templates for foam armor. Up this point I have been using Inkscape and decided to try out Adobe Illustrator.

Basically I would like to make the layer boundary size content-aware so it will always fit and never limit content to spread. Example A (Default GIMP Behavior): Here the layer "Layer" has the same boundary size as the canvas no matter if is just one pixel of non-transparent content or the full layer. Example B: Here t...
Many beautifully designed books use a tiled paper texture on their pages, e.g., In the PDFs of these books (see http://www.tsengbooks.com), the paper texture is highly visible. But oddly, I've never actually seen (or perhaps I've never noticed?) a printed book with such a paper texture. All of the books I've handled s...
I have an InDesign document with a 9x9 grid and a text frame that is aligned to it. I don't know why, but I don't see the text frame unless I hover a mouse over it. I also tried to create a text frame on a second layer, but this doesn't help. This is how the page looks when I hover the mouse over the text frame: An...
I've tried all afternoon to create these thick black (which will be 3D) interlocking chain links and have had no success.

I have some issues while exporting my PDF file from Adobe Illustrator. While I made it, I used shape gradient to do this sort of lines. But if you look at the pictures, the problem is very visible.

I have a JPG image that to my eyes has two colors (black and magenta) but to InDesign eyes (Separations preview tab) it has also yellow and cyan (in lower levels).

I need to print images on large format paper (B1, B2). The image-source/art I'm trying to print is scalable so I can actually export them at any resolution (max 16k per side for technical reasons).

This question may seem to be a duplicate of this one. However, both of the solutions shown there can't be applied to my problem. They both seem to be valid for situations where you want to copy the selection shape within the same image, while I'd like to copy it from one image to multiple others (or, at least, one othe...
I have noticed in some projects some strange layers that go over the artboard. It prevents you from making changes until they are deleted - what are they? I haven't seen them in any of my projects before.
What is the basic practical difference between CIE Lab and CIE Lch (aka HCL, right?) color models?

Looking to find some interesting fonts for an investment research product, mostly distributed in PDF form.

I have been given a .svg file with text that I want to modify with Inkscape. The text has been 'clipped' out of a rectangle so the text is no longer modifiable (I think). ender2.svg I can tell the source type is 'path' because if I view the 'nodes' of the rectangle it shows 109 path nodes Attempt 1 I've tried the fol...
As with most system fonts, the design world seems quite negative on Calibri. And I get it, but many of the recommended alternatives are impractical for those of us that need to produce a lot of content in Excel, at a pace that makes it impossible to redo every table in another app. So can anyone recommend other sans op...
When I install new fonts to my Fonts folder in Windows, I usually do so whilst Photoshop is open. Is there any way to refresh/rescan/reload the font list without restarting Photoshop?

Looking at creating gradients with imagemagick (or here using sparse-color) I can only see how to make a linear gradient between points. But how could I make a non-linear gradient?

I am learning to use a graphics tablet with display for drawing. I currently have the problem that it is hard to draw clean lines.

When you load an existing image in Photoshop or Gimp, it is a single layer with no alpha channel. One reason why someone would need to add an alpha channel to that layer is if they want to cut away parts of the image and have a transparency underneath, rather than a white layer. Besides this (having a transparency laye...
I have the outline of an icon to which I want to apply a 3D effect to match macOS system icons. I have experimented with filters, but they all come out pretty bad. So far I have used an inner shadow.

I know how I can toggle baseline grids for text frames, but how do I toggle them for whole pages? I created a default A4 document and I am having a baseline grid all over the page. It's a little distracting since I don't need it, how can I toggle it of? Not only the visibility but the whole grid for that page?
On some illustrations, you have these text boxes which explain individual parts of the product. The text is not placed immediately beneath the item, because there's too little space to fit in. Instead, it provides a line (with or without arrow) pointing to the item in question and the text is more on the outside where ...

I just started learning Illustrator and I attempted to create a book logo.

I'm working on a project with another person via email and dropbox. The final printed material will be 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches.

I'm trying to add a white background to an SVG image found on the Internet. I modified it to only keep one of the shape.

How do you vertical-align smaller type such as image captions or sidenotes with body type? Do you align it with the cap height or the baseline? What are the benefits?

If I state the purpose of my question as well as my question then hopefully this will be clear and why the other rather large range of answers on a similar topic aren't helpful. Instagram uses square images in it's list, so I want to create a script to go into a folder of images and turn all of them into square images....
It seems like this should be very intuitive. I can change the color, alignment, rotation, etc of a single letter. However, I have not found a way to flip a letter horizontally without affecting the entire word or phrase. The only workaround I have accomplished is creating a separate text box with only the letter I w...
I can convert from colour to alpha, but I need to convert from alpha to color.

How to achieve the following gold texture effect for photographs? Does it start with adjusting the Hue to a gold color, but how to get the radial-like shimmering shiny look?
FontForge is an open source, cross-platform font editing and engineering software.

But, even with this capabilities and a large adva...
I have about a hundred illustrations that I want to prepare for printing, and I am struggling to find the right pipeline to make the unpainted parts of the paper WHITE.
