Illustrator: Use a complex path to clip an image

I am just trying to clip an image with some complex path. After I applay the clipping, the image just won't show.

Can someone tell me why?

For some reason I had to raster the group I wanted to clip before I was even able to apply the clipping.

Adobe Illustrator CS2: Can not print the illustration - what is this and how to fix?

WinXP SP3, AI CS2 update from 12.0.1, Acrobat 9.5.2 Pro - had lived in great comfort on a one machine for years before AI refused to "print" files as PDF.

The investigation revealed that:

• 
  

  AI does not print any file, including a newly created;

  
  


• 
  

  AI does not print on any of the installed local printers (not network): PDF, common Canon, VentaFax (error "Can not print the illustration");

  
  


• AI does not save through Save As EPS and as PDF (error "Can't save the illustration. Can't print the illustration"), in AI /SVG it saves.

I have tried to make a complete removal of all AI settings, reinstalled AI, installed it on a virtual machine and so on. The effect equals zero. It is known that all distributions are original. One can only guess where else to dig.

Would really like to know

Overlapping text with InDesign's data merge

I'm trying to set up a book of song lyrics with a two-column layout. I'd like to pack as many songs as a page as will fit, so I tried doing a data merge with multiple records per page.

This works great, but wastes space because it forces only one song per column:

Since each song has a different length, I tried making the lyrics section a variable height using Auto-Sizing:

But when I do that, the resulting document overlaps a lot:

Is there a way to use auto-sizing height but have it not overlap?

I know this is mathematical but what is this

I realize this isn't primarily a graphic design question, and more on the lines of programming, but this has to have a name.

What's this printing technique called?

Basically printing 3d letters for indoors (or outdoor) like on the picture? Is there a special printing technique involved in the making of these letters?
