• To create the appearance of rasterization without changing the object’s underlying structure, choose Effect >
Rasterize.
2 Choose an anti-aliasing option:
None Applies no anti-aliasing and maintains the hard edges of type when it is rasterized.
Art Optimized (Supersampling) Default option that rasterizes all objects, including text objects by the specified
resolution and applies anti-aliasing to them. Default resolution is 300 pixels per inch.
Type Optimized (Hinted) Applies anti-aliasing that is best suited to type. Anti-aliasing reduces the appearance of
jagged edges in the rasterized image and gives type a smoother on-screen appearance. However, it can also make
small text difficult to read.
Creating superscripts or subscripts
Superscript and subscript text (also called superior and inferior text) is reduced-size text that is raised or lowered in
relation to a font’s baseline.
When you create superscript or subscript type, Illustrator applies a predefined baseline shift value and typeface size.
The values applied are percentages of the current font size and leading, and are based on settings in the Type section of
the Document Setup dialog box.

superscripts or subscripts.
2 Choose Superscript or Subscript from the Character panel menu. You can access the Character panel from the
Control panel.

Create superscripts or subscripts in OpenType fonts
1 Select the characters you want to change to superscript or subscript. If you don’t select any text, the setting applies
to new text you create.
2 Make sure that an OpenType font is selected. One way to determine if a font is an OpenType font is to look in the
Type > Font menu; OpenType fonts display the
icon.
