Every designer has been there—you open a client’s file only to find missing fonts, pixelated images, or broken links. Instead of wasting hours trying to fix it, this class will teach you fast and effective ways to clean up and prep files for print like a pro.

In this practical, time-saving class, you’ll learn how to fix common issues in Adobe Illustrator and Acrobat, so you can confidently handle even the messiest projects.

What You'll Learn:

• Restore missing images (even without the original files!)

• Identify unknown fonts and handle font substitution cleanly

• Find and swap in vector logos from the right sources

• Boost low-resolution images in a smart, controlled way

• Outline text without losing the original font's look

• Plus: Pro tips to streamline your workflow and avoid repeat issues

Why This Class Matters:
These are real-world techniques that you’ll use again and again. Whether you're cleaning up someone else’s work or tightening up your own files, these tips will help you save time, reduce frustration, and create print-ready files with ease.

Who This Class Is For:
Perfect for graphic designers, production artists, freelancers, and creative teams working with client-supplied files or prepping projects for print.

Class Runtime: Approximately 41 Minutes

Please Note:

This class was originally created for Skillshare.com. I understand that the Skillshare subscription model doesn’t work for everyone, so I’m now offering individual class purchases directly through my website. Because of this, you won’t be able to post projects or receive feedback, but you will get full access to all class videos and content.
