Gail, 

Question: have you turned the text into outlines? When you turn text into shapes it makes scaling much easier - and actaully the only what I know to scale text.

Good luck.

Gail, to my knowledge, text wrap is specified and is not scalable. I could be wrong. If it's just an object or two, you'll need to reset the text wrap.

The way around this would be to leave the Illustrator file as is - do not scale anything. The make a scaled down PDF. Go to PRINT, and SAVE AS PDF. Then set the percent you want to reduce the size to. Then everything should be scaled and it's easy peasy.

Hi, Illustrator Gurus -
I've been working in Illustrator CC (latest and greatest) on an exhibit panel that's 3'w x 4'h. One element has a text wrap around a photo. When I tried to copy all and reduce the size to send a proof to my client, the text wrap margin stayed large and threw off the text flow.

What causes this and how do I fix it?

thanks,
Gail

who is on a Mac, if that helps.
