I find the easiest way to create simple, accurate doughnut charts is to add it to a gradient within the stroke. If you give the gradient hard edge colors and apply to the stroke you will get the result you are looking for. Here is a quick video to show you how easy it really is: (Right click+Alt and drag to create other gradient sliders) Hope this helps. ... View more

I would first zoom (max 64000%) in to the effected area and see if it still appears to be there, there may be a preview issue, if so toggle Ctrl+E (GPU) and see if that has an effect Secondly check your x and y's and do a test with a solid object and max it out over the artwork and see if you are still having the same. Also check to see if align to pixel grid is on which may shift it out of place great article here Re: What is happening with these pathfinder bugs?. Lastly, if it is indeed an image you are importing then just make it larger than the background and then mask it to size within Illy. ... View more

I wouldn't say what I said was meaningless..? I work to the specification that my printers require and the output of the artwork is always high quality. Large format work which typically is not viewed at a distance of closer than 1 metre, such as 4sheet posters, can be set up at 150dpi final size. Billboards and print that is designed to be seen from distances over 6 metres should ideally still be set up at 150dpi, but in some cases could be set up at as low as 50dpi final size. There are many complicated algorithms and calculations out there to work out effective resolutions vs viewing distances, but many conflict on opinion showing just how subjective a topic it really is. If you were to design at 120x60 inches I would create it at 200-300dpi so the final output would come in at 480x240 inches at 50-75dpi. I hope this helps. ... View more

When working in large format I often find that you can produce at a 1/4 of the size or smaller and this can then be blown up by the printers. It would be worth getting the printing specification from the people you are producing it through and then work to that. But like jjMack said you can decrease the dpi also. ... View more

When I have created bitmap icons in the past (used to work for a software company) I used to create them with either a icon creator tool (Axialis) or directly in photoshop. For color depths 24 BPP or less, the transparency is coded by using a fixed color. Each pixel that have this exact color will be converted as transparent when the image is loaded in the toolbar. Usually, the color used is green RGB(0,255,0) or magenta RGB(255,0,255). The problem of this method is that if you use a pixel of that color in your icon image (not the background), it will be converted as transparent. The other issue is the poor quality of the borders (around the icons) because it does not permit smooth transparency. In other words, a pixel is either 100% transparent or 100% opaque, there is no variable transparency. It results in "aliasing" on borders for icons with rounded shapes. This is an old technique so you will struggle to get the desired results but worth you having a look for "creating bmp icons with transparency" online. ... View more

Sorry to say but I really don't think what you are asking is actually possible. Text can only be either live text (PP doesn't scale, only font size increased/decreased) or outlined from Illy and therefore not editable. You can get an add-on for PP that enables you to outline text in PP but at a cost (G-Tools for PowerPoint - YOU present). Sorry can't help further than that. 😞 ... View more

Did you outline the text before you exported? As long as you don't want to have to update the text you will be fine. PP is pretty rubbish at scaling up when you have live text. ... View more

If you want to make it a vector in PP then go for the .EMF option. I've just tried this and it works ok but not perfect. Once you import the .EMF file and then ungroup it you can then Edit Shape>Edit Points but this only seems to work for paths, if you have a filled shape it seems to not want to give you the option of editing the points...? ...
