I have a text which I outlined and broke into individual objects.

I want to fit this text into as tight a space as possible without overlapping, rotating or moving the letters around. The text doesn't need to be readable, it just needs to use the least amount of material as possible. How can I do something like this?

Try This,


Keep the Shape on top and the outlined text on back of the shape,
Select Both Shape and text
Go to Illustrator Menu > Object > Envelope Distort > Make with top Object
You will get the result like text blends and fits in to the shape you asked to distort

There are no "auto-fit" features in Illustrator.

There have been a few users who have written scripts to fill something with a shape. In all these scripts a circle is the only shape which will work. There are issues with varying width and heights and collision detection. It's just not something Illustrator was designed to do, or does well.

I'm afraid, the best option is to manually fit your shapes into the container you want.

This question may be worth a look as well: How to make a logo where a letter is made of particles of varying sizes?
