Create compound shapes

You create compound shapes using the Pathfinder panel (Window > Object & Layout > Pathfinder). Compound

shapes can be made up of simple or compound paths, text frames, text outlines, or other shapes. The appearance of

the compound shape depends on which Pathfinder button you choose.

Pathfinder panel

A. Original objects B. Add C. Subtract D. Intersect E. Exclude Overlap F. Minus Back

Add Traces the outline of all objects to create a single shape.

Subtract Objects in the front “punch holes” in the backmost object.

Intersect Creates a shape from overlapping areas.

Exclude Overlap Creates a shape from areas that do not overlap.

Minus Back Objects in the back “punch holes” in the frontmost object.

In most cases, the resulting shape adopts the attributes (fill, stroke, transparency, layer, and so on) of the frontmost

object. When you subtract shapes, however, objects in the front are deleted. The resulting shape takes on the

attributes of the backmost object instead.

When you include a text frame in a compound shape, the shape of the text frame changes, but the text itself stays the

same. To alter the text itself, create a compound path using text outlines.

Dear manymanuals.pl Admin! my name’s Eric and for just a second, imagine this… - Someone does a search and winds up at manymanuals.pl. - They hang out for a minute to check it out. I’m interested… but… maybe… - And then they hit the back button and check out the other search results instead. - Bottom line – you got an eyeball, but nothing else to show for it. - There they go. This isn’t really your fault – it happens a LOT – studies show 7 out of 10 visitors to any site disap

Dear, Eric here with a quick thought about your website manymanuals.pl Owner! I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites. Like yours, many of them have great content. But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits. I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else. Here’s a solution for y
