Hi folks. We've recently upgraded to CS4 here and have encountered a problem with document comparing. Previously, it was possible to compare huge (150+ page) documents easily. Since installing the new version, i've not been able to compare even 10 pages at a time unless I use the "scanned...

Hi folks. This is probably dead easy, but i've not a clue! Basically, I have an image that is double the length of a cd case. The left side is front, to be on the outside of the cd case, the right side is to be the notes. Does any know of a way I can do this?

Essentially, I want to disable the option that automatically opens the PDF you've just created. I find it incredibily irritating as it constantly takes the focus from what i'm actually doing. If you close them as soon as they open, they just wait a second or so and open again!! Argh!!! I...

I can see how that would be usefull. Just one of the many commands i've not come accross yet. Thanks again!

i have now!!! nice one mate!

This is probably something really simple, but suddenly in Illustator, when i use the direct selection tool i can no longer see anchors on lines. I have the guides on and it comes up with the word "anchor" but I can't see it!! Also, on a cuve, i can no longer see the little grips that allow you...

yeah, got it. i feel quite silly now.....

Hey all, just a quickie. I'm doing a tutorial that requires me to put some text on an image. It's lots of lines, so it suggests that you do it in notepad and copy accross. It says to copy accross to a "text layer". What is this!? How do i tell a layer to be a text layer? I'm trying to copy...

perfect, thanks!

thanks for the reply. - i'm creating the eps files from an ai - i can definately save out eps files from different ai files - it doesn't matter what location i try and save to So, i'm left with the conclusion that there must be something specific about the files i've created that is preventing...

Usually when I have an object select with the selection tool it shows me the grip points for scaling\transforming etc. Recently they have disappeared and I now have to use the free transform tool. Anyone know how to fix this!? Thanks!

Hello all. I have a small (200kb) .ai file. It's two graphs side by side that were originally .wmf's produced by piece of software we make in house. Usually, what we do is produce them in DAT (data analysis tool - our software) and them I tidy them up in illustrator and save them out as eps...

perfect thanks!

Hi all. Just a quicky. I have two polygons. One sits on top of the other. I want to cut out the shape of the smaller one from the fill of the bigger one. Hope that makes sense! Thanks!

thanks, i'll give that a go

Hey all. This is by no means the worst thing in the world, but it is rather irritating. Basically, if i maximise the illustrator window and then double click on a file i want to open, it un-maximises (you know what i mean!). Is there any way to stop this? cheers!

I often use the same background with various different layers of annotation over the top. So, basically, I have an AI that contains serveral drawings. When I save them out as EPS (for word) I find that if I open the EPS file in Illustrator, ALL the layers are still there. I only want to save...
