Hey guys! I am wanting to export my hand lettering to SVG, DXF, EPS, PNG, and PDF with as few steps as possible.  Is it possible to do this in one shot?

Thank you in advance 🙂

          Yes, you can record an action to export or save as each file type needed. Then for future files, play the action.

          I apologize, I am a newbie when it comes to most of this stuff...I have no idea what "record an action" even means! Do you have any recomended videos or articles where I could learn about this?

          You can read this link above to learn more about actions, but here is a step by step to accomplish what you want;

          1) Go to Window Menu, select "Actions". You should see an Actions palette appear. 

          2) From the side menu on the Actions palette, select "New Action".

          3) Enter a name for your action in the window that opens, then click "Record" button.

          4) Next, Perform save as or export as, select first file type you want to save out. Click OK. Now repeat the save as or export as function for every document type you need (svg, dxf, eps, png, and pdf).

          5) From the side menu on the Actions palette, select "Stop Recording".

           

          For the future, each time you need to save these file versions, all you need to do is bring up your Actions palette, hightlight the Action name you recorded, then click on the "play" icon at the lower right of the Actions palette, or you can select "Play" from the side menu of the Actions palette.


          THANK YOU!!!!! This is amazing.  Thank you for taking the time to write this out for me.  I can't tell you how much I appreciate it 🙂
