How to Convert Fonts to Outlines

Step 1: Your file  should be originally built using CMYK color format. In Illustrator, in the top left drop down menu choose: File/New

 

Step 2: Choose CMYK as your color settings

 

Step 3: While the document is open simply right-click the selected text, then choose Create Outlines.

 

Step 4: Then click File/Save As

 

Step 5: Choose Adobe Illustrator

 

Step 6: Choose CS2 or lower

 

Your Done! Now all you have to do is get the file to us. If the file is 20MB and under you can use our File Upload function. If the file is larger than 20MB you will have to bring in the file or send a CD or Jump drive to us.
