Standalone Plug-in for Improved Adobe Illustrator File Exchange
- A plug-in for Adobe Illustrator for Mac and PC has been developed.
- The plugin is currently compatible with Adobe Illustrator Version 17 (CC 2015.5), 18 (CC 2017) & 19.
- The plug-in provides improved layer support (automatic creation of PDF layers corresponding to Impact palette names); automatic artboard resizing (to the design extents) and locking of dielines for Impact-created PDF files exported from Impact 2010 & later.
- The plug-in searches within a PDF file for the pdf:Producer>Impact< tag. If this is found the PDF file is assumed to be an Impact-generated PDF:
- The PDF is then processed in accordance with the plug-in preferences, which are configured within Adobe Illustrator itself (via the Window>Arden Software menu):
A dedicated help page has been created for the ‘Impact Plug-in for Adobe® Illustrator®’ which can be found here: https://help.ardensoftware.com/impactpluginforillustrator_1_en/
- Note, further Adobe Illustrator plug-ins are now being developed to deliver, amongst other features, live 2D/3D preview of graphics as edited and saved within Illustrator.
