Dear Adobe,

Thank you very much for the new and improved file export dialogue in Illustrator CS3 and above. My life is much more interesting now that I have to open up Photoshop just to load in an AI file and rasterize it to a specific dimension, instead of being able to do it straight from Illustrator! Especially when Photoshop's batch processor merrily saves each file over the last!

Fuck you very much,
Peggy.

I'm using CS3... and I haven't any clue what you're talking about here, because I haven't had this issue.

file->export, choose a bitmap format (such as TIFF), try to output it at any size besides the size it was drawn at and you're in hell.

Ah, yes. It requires a bit of math... and probably trial and error, since it doesn't seem to have the 'clip to artboard' option. That is pretty bad. Even more annoyingly, I don't think it uses the smarter aspects of PNGs (different colour spaces, colour profiles, aspect ratio definition, all that) otherwise I'd suggest using those. *grumble*

Yeah... Adobe has issues.
