Collect Document Support Files
Scoop is an Adobe Illustrator 8 plug-in for Mac OS 9. It will collect copies of font and placed image files and extract embedded raster images, saving them into a new folder.
    Features
  • Scoop quickly and easily collects images and fonts without leaving Illustrator.
  • Scoop uses Illustrator's image link path to ensure the correct images are copied.
  • Scoop collects fonts used in your documents that are active on your system while the Illustrator document is open, ensuring the correct fonts are collected and used for output.

Add 3 dimensional looking edges to paths.
Quickly and easily create dimensional looking blends with Blend Buddy using spot or process colors. Use Blend Buddy's powerful Merge function to combine blends created with Adobe Illustrator's blend tool, gradient fills and Blend Buddy blends into striking 3D graphics.
BlendBuddy creates a sequence of progressively darker, heavier stroked paths beneath the original to simulate a 3D appearance. The Merge function will sort the stacking order of objects based on darkness, like shuffling a deck of cards, so that shapes appear to, well, merge.
