00:00:00,119 --> 00:00:03,968
Hi there, in this video we're going to
look at exporting our Illustrator files.
2
00:00:03,993 --> 00:00:05,405
Getting it ready for print...
3
00:00:05,647 --> 00:00:07,996
or maybe digital distribution.
4
00:00:08,028 --> 00:00:10,722
So, maybe looking at emailing it
as a PDF...
5
00:00:10,754 --> 00:00:12,658
or for having it downloaded from a website.
6
00:00:12,813 --> 00:00:14,566
I'm going to wrap that up
into this course.
7
00:00:14,728 --> 00:00:17,483
Especially, Web Export,
we'll look in the next video.
8
00:00:17,508 --> 00:00:19,126
So jump to that one if you want to.
9
00:00:19,423 --> 00:00:20,637
All right, let's get started.
10
00:00:21,464 --> 00:00:23,028
You can have any document open...
11
00:00:23,053 --> 00:00:26,085
but in your 'Exercise Files',
I've got 'Exporting Print' open.
12
00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:30,663
There's two things we need to quickly check
before we create our PDF...
13
00:00:30,903 --> 00:00:34,443
which is going to be our, probably,
most useful exporting file from it.
14
00:00:34,915 --> 00:00:39,282
Now we need to check both
the color mode and the raster settings.
15
00:00:39,484 --> 00:00:42,659
Basically color mode
is RGB versus CMYK.
16
00:00:42,691 --> 00:00:45,612
We went through this in proper detail
in an earlier video...
17
00:00:45,637 --> 00:00:46,809
so check that one out...
18
00:00:46,848 --> 00:00:49,691
but let's say I'm going to
a local print shop.
19
00:00:50,145 --> 00:00:54,584
One on the corner, and they're going to
run me off, a 100 copies, or 1000 copies.
20
00:00:54,770 --> 00:00:56,698
It's best to send them in RGB.
21
00:00:57,130 --> 00:00:59,029
So we'll be working from
the beginning in RGB.
22
00:00:59,054 --> 00:01:00,710
You can switch it later on here...
23
00:01:00,950 --> 00:01:03,427
but RGB is going to give you
a better result.
24
00:01:03,627 --> 00:01:07,231
Just does from those kind
of smaller print shops.
25
00:01:07,347 --> 00:01:10,809
Now if you're working in
a big kind of offset printing...
26
00:01:10,849 --> 00:01:12,072
they typically call it.
27
00:01:12,376 --> 00:01:14,939
So it's a big printing,
they're going to print you 10,000.
28
00:01:15,038 --> 00:01:17,093
They're probably going to want CMYK.
29
00:01:17,453 --> 00:01:20,969
Have a look at that video earlier on,
but this is where you can go change it.
30
00:01:21,490 --> 00:01:22,639
The next thing to double check...
31
00:01:22,664 --> 00:01:25,450
is under 'Effects',
'Document Raster Settings'.
32
00:01:25,699 --> 00:01:27,382
In previous tutorials I said...
33
00:01:28,329 --> 00:01:30,641
lower the resolution in here...
34
00:01:30,666 --> 00:01:32,843
because it makes sure the computer
runs a whole lot faster...
35
00:01:32,868 --> 00:01:33,731
while you're working.
36
00:01:33,924 --> 00:01:35,439
The cool thing about it
being in Illustrator...
37
00:01:35,464 --> 00:01:37,124
is you can yank it back, up to 300.
38
00:01:37,149 --> 00:01:38,441
Like super high quality.
39
00:01:38,602 --> 00:01:40,866
Doesn't matter that your machine's
going to run little slowly now...
40
00:01:40,891 --> 00:01:42,471
with the final hurdle.
41
00:01:42,541 --> 00:01:44,925
So just make sure it's up at 300,
click 'OK'.
42
00:01:45,126 --> 00:01:48,745
Then we're going to 'File', 'Save As'.
43
00:01:49,672 --> 00:01:52,458
So in here, what we need to do,
is I'm going to put it on my 'Desktop'.
44
00:01:52,483 --> 00:01:54,204
I'm going to put it in 'Illustrator Files'.
45
00:01:54,406 --> 00:01:56,740
Down here where it says 'Format',
I'm going to lift it up.
46
00:01:57,409 --> 00:01:59,401
We're going to use 'Adobe PDF'.
47
00:02:00,435 --> 00:02:01,506
Let's click 'Save'.
48
00:02:02,105 --> 00:02:04,025
There's basically two things
you need to do.
49
00:02:04,050 --> 00:02:07,297
You need to drop this down, and say...
I'd like to use high quality print.
50
00:02:07,831 --> 00:02:09,474
That's just a really good default.
51
00:02:09,762 --> 00:02:11,818
You're not going to run
into problems with that one.
52
00:02:12,012 --> 00:02:13,646
The other thing is to turn this off.
53
00:02:14,371 --> 00:02:17,720
This on, basically means
that the PDF you're making...
54
00:02:17,993 --> 00:02:20,342
is basically a full working
Illustrator file.
55
00:02:21,084 --> 00:02:24,761
We don't need that to go to the printer.
We've got an Illustrator file already.
56
00:02:24,851 --> 00:02:26,252
The biggest problem with it is that...
57
00:02:26,277 --> 00:02:28,796
the file size can become huge
with this left on.
58
00:02:29,007 --> 00:02:32,618
So if you do find, yours is a really
big file sizes, PDFs, and you're like...
59
00:02:32,819 --> 00:02:35,446
"Typically these should be smaller,"
it's because this has been left on.
60
00:02:35,654 --> 00:02:38,711
It will say, this preset up here
has been modified.
61
00:02:38,736 --> 00:02:39,912
It's because we unticked this.
62
00:02:39,937 --> 00:02:41,547
Then we just click on 'Save PDF'.
63
00:02:41,756 --> 00:02:43,918
It warns you,
"You've turned that thing off."
64
00:02:43,943 --> 00:02:45,070
Don't worry, it's okay.
65
00:02:46,247 --> 00:02:48,200
You wait for the PDF to be produced.
66
00:02:48,225 --> 00:02:49,636
Hopefully now, on my Desktop...
67
00:02:51,204 --> 00:02:53,942
in my files, there's this Print file,
it's quite small.
68
00:02:54,412 --> 00:02:55,801
It is half a Megabyte.
69
00:02:55,987 --> 00:02:58,288
And yes, that one is ready to go to print.
70
00:02:58,672 --> 00:03:02,751
And because it's RGB, that one there
can be downloaded from the net as well.
71
00:03:03,327 --> 00:03:05,081
So my file size is really small.
72
00:03:06,027 --> 00:03:07,561
If your documents are lot bigger...
73
00:03:07,586 --> 00:03:10,434
and you do need it to be smaller,
for a website, or an email...
74
00:03:10,643 --> 00:03:12,155
you can do some slight adjustments.
75
00:03:12,180 --> 00:03:14,111
Let's do another 'Save As'.
76
00:03:15,545 --> 00:03:19,445
I'm going to call this one 'Low Res'.
77
00:03:19,837 --> 00:03:21,345
So it's going to be smaller.
78
00:03:21,648 --> 00:03:22,664
It's not going to look bad...
79
00:03:22,839 --> 00:03:26,355
but what we're going to do is,
go into, you can start with High Quality.
80
00:03:28,287 --> 00:03:29,867
That's for Print.
81
00:03:30,306 --> 00:03:32,044
But we can go to this one
called 'Smallest' quality.
82
00:03:33,363 --> 00:03:34,486
Sorry, 'Smallest File Size'.
83
00:03:34,511 --> 00:03:35,808
That's going to be a good one for Web.
84
00:03:36,543 --> 00:03:39,360
And that's all you need to do.
This one by default, has that turned off.
85
00:03:39,981 --> 00:03:40,952
And we're ready to go.
86
00:03:40,977 --> 00:03:43,912
This one's probably not going
to be much more, much smaller...
87
00:03:44,212 --> 00:03:46,188
because it is just really smaller
to start with.
88
00:03:46,213 --> 00:03:47,260
Let's have a little look.
89
00:03:48,548 --> 00:03:49,778
Our Low Res one.
90
00:03:49,803 --> 00:03:51,709
Significantly smaller.
91
00:03:52,220 --> 00:03:53,823
It's about a quarter of the size.
92
00:03:53,990 --> 00:03:56,186
That's a whole lot more important...
93
00:03:56,211 --> 00:03:59,113
when you've got a file
that's maybe, say 20MB.
94
00:03:59,146 --> 00:04:01,021
A quarter of the size would be awesome.
95
00:04:01,141 --> 00:04:03,871
So those, have to go
to a commercial printer.
96
00:04:04,009 --> 00:04:09,098
This one have to go to, maybe a
website version, or an email version.
97
00:04:09,667 --> 00:04:11,413
One last thing you might do is...
98
00:04:11,462 --> 00:04:15,290
say you're not exporting for--
I'm going to close that down.
99
00:04:15,315 --> 00:04:18,838
I'm going to open up my original 'ai' file.
100
00:04:20,972 --> 00:04:24,869
What we want to do is, say we want to
send this off to somebody else to work on.
101
00:04:24,953 --> 00:04:26,000
You can do--
102
00:04:26,025 --> 00:04:29,120
Or you've got a colleague, and they want
to work on the Illustrator file.
103
00:04:30,004 --> 00:04:31,472
Or you want to archive this.
104
00:04:32,094 --> 00:04:34,792
You can do, you can go to 'File',
and something called 'Package'.
105
00:04:35,202 --> 00:04:37,471
Package, what it's going to do,
is it's going to copy any links.
106
00:04:37,496 --> 00:04:39,552
So any images that you've linked in here.
107
00:04:39,745 --> 00:04:41,332
It's going to copy any fonts used...
108
00:04:41,357 --> 00:04:43,811
except for TypeKit,
they protect those ones.
109
00:04:43,957 --> 00:04:45,736
Let's say you're using
your company fonts...
110
00:04:45,761 --> 00:04:47,989
you need to send it to someone,
they donât have the font.
111
00:04:48,014 --> 00:04:49,025
It's going to be go in there.
112
00:04:49,248 --> 00:04:51,454
Where am I going to stick it?
I'm going to stick it...
113
00:04:52,599 --> 00:04:53,822
I'm going to stick it on my 'Desktop'.
114
00:04:55,349 --> 00:04:58,025
I'm going to stick it in my
'Illustrator Class Files'.
115
00:04:58,462 --> 00:04:59,287
That will be good.
116
00:04:59,441 --> 00:05:01,131
It's going to go into this folder.
117
00:05:01,736 --> 00:05:03,149
You may go and call it 'Folder'.
118
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:04,919
Yes, why not.
119
00:05:05,312 --> 00:05:06,296
Click 'Package'.
120
00:05:06,574 --> 00:05:09,926
It says, "Be careful, fonts are
going to be copied in here."
121
00:05:09,967 --> 00:05:11,879
"Make sure, by law you're
allowed to use them."
122
00:05:12,114 --> 00:05:13,162
"Yes, sir."
123
00:05:13,307 --> 00:05:15,037
I'm going to click 'OK'.
It's done.
124
00:05:15,436 --> 00:05:16,730
Let's have a look in our folder.
125
00:05:16,755 --> 00:05:17,806
It's created this folder...
126
00:05:17,831 --> 00:05:21,057
and the cool thing about it
is that it's put in my ai file.
127
00:05:21,082 --> 00:05:22,803
Any fonts that have been used in it.
128
00:05:22,981 --> 00:05:24,306
Gowdy Old Style.
129
00:05:24,467 --> 00:05:27,007
And any links, there's my 'Desk' image.
130
00:05:27,311 --> 00:05:31,178
The cool thing about that is, I can now
zip that up, say 'Compress'.
131
00:05:31,411 --> 00:05:33,514
If you're on a PC,
you right click, and say...
132
00:05:33,539 --> 00:05:36,357
'Send to zip', and you get a zip file.
133
00:05:36,382 --> 00:05:40,431
I can email it to someone, or back it up,
or put it on a disk.
134
00:05:40,696 --> 00:05:43,246
It's just a good way of making sure,
I sent the ai file...
135
00:05:43,278 --> 00:05:46,103
but also close the images,
also I'm closing the fonts.
136
00:05:46,719 --> 00:05:47,783
So it's ready to go.
137
00:05:48,174 --> 00:05:54,123
All right, that is exporting
from Adobe Illustrator to PDF.
138
00:05:54,294 --> 00:05:58,071
Let's get into the next one where we
look at more Web based exports.
139
00:05:58,254 --> 00:05:59,492
All right, see you over there.
