Another cheat for Illustrator is, let's say I want to export this fox, just him, by himself. Sending the whole document is easy enough. Actually I'm going to drag a box around him hold 'Shift', click the background, I just want you, the fox to go around. Just with it selected, doesn't even have to be grouped.
I can right click it, there's an option that says 'Export Selection'. There you are. Let's hit 'Cancel'. Then here, down the bottom, pick 'PDF'. I'm going to click 'Save'. Even if I change these to say, the highest quality print, which a lot of people use, it's still going to make a really big PDF. The trick is this button here, 'Preserve Illustrator Capabilities'. You just need to turn it off.
It's going to save, Illustrator's not going to like it but it just means that it's not going to have all the functionalities of Illustrator, which we don't need to have, that's what the ai file is for. The PDF just needs to be small and printable. One other thing you might do is, down here there's an option that says 'Smallest File Size'. That turns it off by default. Lowers the resolution a bit. We'll make it even smaller, but probably not right for print, but definitely right for emailable or downloadable from a website.
Next up are some more shortcuts. Not a particularly sexy shortcut, but I use it quite a lot. I'm going to bring in this file here. I'm going to click, hold, and drag it so it's nice and big in the background. I need to send it to the back, so next shortcut's fine. If you're on a Mac, it's 'Command Shift', and you're looking for the square brackets. They're next to the P key, we want the first one '['.
If you're on a PC, it's 'Control Shift', and that same square bracket. Sends it to the back. Now I'm going to select both of them, and use another shortcut. It's the Clipping Mask. Next, and reasonably related-- that one's the Clipping Mask. That's for cropping things, the other one's for cutting holes in things.
I've zoomed in here, I'm going to click him. Hold 'Shift', click that. Next to 'Command 7' is 'Command 8'. And it's Compound Path, there's now a hole in it. If you're on a PC, it's 'Control 8'. Zoom back out. Next shortcut I use loads are for fonts. So I'm going to have my text selected up here.
