Let me show you a new feature in Illustrator CS6
that's actually a feature that has been asked for by our users for many, many years.
Basically, it is the ability to
package your files for output, alright?
So everything you have in your file, including fonts, images, and everything
would be packaged nicely inside of a folder
so that you can send that to a service or a customer
or to a colleague,
so that they can continue working with it.
And basically the way that works,
and here I have a document with various types of elements.
I have some type elements here; I have some images.
These are actually linked Photoshop files, if we go here to the links panel,
we see that these are PSD files that are linked,
and if I go here to the File > Package Menu;
well, we get this new window
where first of all, I can decide the location
of where I want these files to go.
So right now, I'm saving them to my desktop
in an Adobe Illustrator folder.
I can give the folder a name, so let's do that for a second.
Output--let's call it Output
and then a few options you can choose.
You can choose to copy all links into that specific folder,
and you can even choose to collect the links in a separate folder
that will be called Links.
And when you do that,
you can also choose to relink the linked files
to the document, so basically,
you can choose whether to keep
the link path that's in your original document
or ask Illustrator while it's doing that packaging
to actually relink the images that are in the document
to that new folder that this operation will create.
And then I can copy all of the fonts that I'm using in that document
so that my colleagues or my service provider
can actually use those to print the document
or to continue working with the document,
and that is all fonts except the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean fonts for now.
And then I can also ask Illustrator to create a report for me.
So let's do this; let's package this
and Illustrator will also tell me that, of course, there are restrictions
about fonts, that not all fonts can be shared with other people,
so give that a read the first time you see it,
but then you can choose to never show that window again
by clicking here.
So let's say OK and basically I'm done.
So when I go over here to my finder
inside of the folder that I just created,
we see that I have a package file here,
a folder called output,
so when I double-click on that, I see what it actually contains.
It contains my Illustrator file,
all the fonts that are being used in that Illustrator file,
the linked PSD files,
and also a little report, a .TXT file.
And when I open that, we can actually see that this little report
tells me the name of a document, the color mode of a document,
and a whole bunch of interesting information about the document itself,
so that people, when they get the package,
they can actually see what this document is all about.
We can also see the spot colors used in the document,
the missing fonts; in this case, we have no missing fonts.
They're all packaged in here; the fonts that have been packaged
and then if I go down here a little bit more,
we see that there are also no missing links
and information about the linked images,
so we see that we have these 2 Photoshop files,
the catalogspread.PSD and the catalogspreadcroft.PSD
and their color mode, whether they're RGB or CMYK,
their pixel depth, their channels, their size and everything.
So basically in this report that comes with
this packaged file,
people are receiving the document will have all of the necessary information
to continue working with.
So going back to Illustrator,
the way you access that feature is simply going to
File > Package
and finally we can do that also in Adobe Illustrator.
