Sean, the feature takes some getting used to. A benefit of Live Shapes is that you do not have to switch to another tool when you want to transform them. See here for a description: Work with Live Shapes | Adobe Illustrator CC tutorials

What does not work? After you have done Object > Shape > Expand Shape, use a selection tool to manipulate the line. You will see the bounding Box (if that is turned on in the View menu).

Object menu > Shape > Expand Shape is the way to convert it to a normal object.

Select the clipping path and go to Object > Artboards > Fit to Selected Art. Check the "Use Artboards" option when exporting

Forget my suggestion about the GPU rendering, I tried it and it does not make a difference. Jacob's way (setting the fill to None) should help.

Maybe the little white space is cause by GPU rendering. Switching between GPU and CPU rendering may solve this: Cmd E (Mac), Ctrl E (Win)

But now it works fine in CC 2015 with or without GPU disabled...

What was the past? It worked the same in AI CS6. Just select the objects you want to fit the artboard to and choose Fit to Selected Art (Not Fit to Artwork Bounds)

Be careful with what you select. You cannot do a simple Select All, or click on the Layer to select it's contents. By Selecting All or Selecting the Layer you are actually selecting everything on all artboards (or everything on that layer on all artboards). By Selecting a single object and choosing Fit to artwork bounds, you will fit to all artwork in your document. Just select the objects on a single artboard and choose Object > Artboards > Fit to Selected Art

Koen, can you try to explain what your problem is? Screen dumps with everything selected will help.

If the creators have CC they can share the file using the Creative Cloud. Even if the file is saved without PDF compatibility it can be viewed online. Edit: there seem to be limitations, placed images or rasterised objects are not displayed.

It becomes custom when you customise one of the options.

Luckily I do not have half a brain, so let me try to help you. Yes these brushes are images, but I suppose the Watercolor brushes in Illustrator started out that way. Have a look at the brushes that are part of Illustrator: Brushes Panel > Open Brush Library > Artistic > Artistic Watercolor Drag them from the Brushes panel to your artboard to see what they contain. Most of them are groups with reduced opacity. Double click them in the Brushes Panel to see their options. Learn how to create them from scanned brush strokes with Image Trace and shades of gray. Be careful when using them, the resulting file can become very complex and will sometimes only print if you create a rasterised version,

Yes, you can set the mail message you are composing or the text document to Plain Text and then it pastes as text. The default for these apps is rich text.

Hi Sanjay, that's what I did, highlighted or not it does not matter, if the TextEdit or Mail document is not plain text, it will paste as PDF. Ton

Sanjay, it seems for some applications (Apple Mail and TextEdit) that it does not matter if you use the Selection tool or the Text tool, they paste as PDF anyway. But when your document is Plain Text in Text Edit or Mail, it will paste editable text.

The method from abelcher1987 is more complicated than the Recolor Artwork method Monika suggested. Select an object with the CMYK color and selecting Edit > Edit Colors > Recolor Artwork > Preset > 1 color job… > Library > Pantone whatever you like… This will give you the exact same Pantone color as Photoshop would give you if your color settings are the same in both applications.

But InDesign can. So if you have both, you can create a graphic in Illustrator and paste it into text in InDesign. If you want you can copy that text object from InDesign and paste it into Illustrator.

Hi Peter, we'll ask the Adobe evangelists next week to show it 🙂 Unfortunately, since it's still working for me, I stopped looking for other ways to get it to work. I have seen threads about this where people edit Host files andgot it working, but I cannot find them anymore. Maybe it's time to ask the Illustrator team directly: ShareWithAi@adobe.com

Mark, I don't know if you got it working, but this worked for me to get the Color Themes working again. It seems like a cache was corrupted. I moved the folder: com.adobe.illustrator from Username/Library/Caches When I launched Illustrator the Color Themes were automatically loaded (and the com.adobe.illustrator was regenerated).
