Using Illustrator, I am trying to export my project to .png. I have created a wrapped text with a placed image in it, using the Draw Inside tool. Everything looks great on the screen (the first attached image), but when I go to export, the placed image is in front of everything else (the second attached image). I'm assuming it has something to do with the wrap text because I've done it before with normal text. Any ideas?

Try this:


Convert your text to outlines (Type > Create Outlines)
Select your outlined text and convert it to a Compound Path (Object > Compound Path > Make)
Now place your image behind this Compound Path
Select both the path and the image, and create a Clipping Mask (Object > Clipping Mask > Make).


This should do the trick.
