Title: Adobe Illustrator Help
Post by: Evilpenguin on June 10, 2004, 08:30:23 pm

Hi all

If I download a marquee that is in .AI format how do I resize it to print the size that I need.  For example my marquee size is 23x6.

Thanks

Jason

If you don't have access to Adobe Illustrator, you might ask someone to resize it for you.

If you do have access, There are a number of ways to resize, all of them not too complex. I'll be happy to post some ideas if that info is what you are looking for.

I downloaded the trial version of it, so yes if you could tell me how to resize it that would be great.
