Converting strokes to filled objects
The Outline Path filter traces the outline
of all stroked paths within the selected
artwork and substitutes a filled object
with the same width as the original
stroked path. This filter lets you modify
the outline of an object more than you
could if it were only a stroke.
You can also use this filter to create an
overlay of your original artwork that
strips out all stroked lines and replaces
them with compound filled paths. The
Outline Path filter can be useful when
you prepare artwork for trapping color
separations, as described in Step 4:
Create a trap to compensate for
misregistration on press.
