Adobe Illustrator / Re: Illustrator bleed issue
Last post by scottrsimons - Today at 06:37:08 AM
When I try to make a new document with no bleed, I get exactly that. I'm not seeing a setting that would create that.
I did see a location to change the print settings, that had a spot to change the bleed settings.

But I also did find that you can have multiple document settings. And here is how to do it from Adobe.

Adobe Illustrator / Illustrator bleed issue
Last post by DigiCorn - April 15, 2024, 05:32:59 PM
On the latest build of Illustrator, I am trying to create a new document and I set the bleed to 0 all around, and when it creates the new page, it's adding 1/8" of bleed to the top. You can't set the document defaults like you can in InDesign, so how do I fix? It's not a deal-breaker, but it really is an annoyance.

Sometimes I wonder if they don't create the list of default options just to fuck with us users?

Tips & Tricks / InDesign/Acrobat/PhotoShop tri...
Last post by DigiCorn - April 15, 2024, 02:47:32 PM
Having been out of the game a few years, I ran into a couple issues today and discovered two new (to me anyway) cool tricks.

If you need an image from an Acrobat file (without any of the text or crap someone might have included in the file), open the file in Photoshop. When you get the preview window, tic the radio button that says, "images," (it defaults to whatever you did last). Voila - an unmolested image.

#2, in InDesign, which was freshly installed on my machine, the default setting for image handling was set to Auto-Fit "on." This meant every time I tried to edit the frame on a placed image, the image would resize and/or distort. To turn the default Auto-Fit, "off," it's not in the preferences - you have to go to Object --> Fitting --> Frame Fitting Options and turn it off there.

I do this frequently from my Mac at home to various Windows Servers and PC's at work.
Although i dont do a lot of file sharing.
No problems as long as your company firewall allows it.

We have Palo Alto firewalls and use the PA GlobalProtect Clients for VPN access and it always works flawlessly and fast!

JumpDesktop has been good. Not great. I have been using it for years to access my work computer and my parent's computer when needed. And it is cheap.

Thanks for the post; they only have 2 rollers for Xerox scanners, and neither of them will work.

At the state, we are supposed to come up with at least 2 competitive bids on everything. I can't find a second one, so I have to file paperwork for a, "no-bid."
