when tracing high-resolution photographic (i.e. continuous tone) images, is that the feature
can require a significant amount of memory and processing power in order to perform the
conversion. Several trace settings can significantly reduce the complexity of the raster-to-vector
operation resulting in better performance and lower memory usage. Among these, you may
choose to experiment with increasing the amount of Blur, and the Minimum Regions filter;
and/or decreasing the Number of Colors used, and the Sampling Resolution to use on the
source image.
Loading PPDs
When attempting to choose a PPD via the "Other... " option in the PPD pop-up menu of the
print dialog, PPDs that have double-byte characters in their file name, or any part of their file
path, will produce an error alerting you that the PPD could not be loaded. To workaround this,
rename the PPD file to not use such characters, and/or move the PPD to a folder path which
doesn't contain such characters, then retry the PPD selection.
Gaiji Creation Tool
This tool is only available in the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean versions of the Adobe
Creative
®
Suite
When making a character that has holes cut out from the middle of a shape, it is important to
use Illustrator's Compound Paths feature instead of having one path for the outside shape and a
different path for the cut-out hole. If you don't use Compound Paths, you may observe that the
hole in the middle gets filled in.
The Gaiji Creation Tool does not put hinting into glyphlets. It puts in default BlueValues hints
that are good for most font designs but not for all. To produce glyphlets with hinting, other
tools may be available.
PSD Export
When exporting layered Illustrator documents to Photoshop, please note that hidden layers are
not exported.
SVG
The default SVG setting for "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" has been changed. This
setting which was on by default in Illustrator CS, embeds all Illustrator content in the actual
SVG file. When on, it will ensure that Illustrator content is as editable on File-Open, as it was
on Save-As for SVG. However it creates a much larger SVG file than strictly necessary, and will
prevent any of the after Save modifications done to the actual SVG file from being imported. In
light of how we have improved our support for native SVG import in Illustrator CS2, the fact
that SVG file sizes need to be as small as possible in most target workflows, and how many
users want to animate or add interactivity to the SVG output, this option has now been turned
off by default.
