I have a collection of objects inside a layer. Looks something like this:

Now I need to make Envelope Distortions to the entire layer, so that it looks realistic on all object.
But the problem is on layer selection I can't select anything in the Envelope Distort submenu (apart from the envelope distort options).

Is there any way to make this work without having to flatten the whole layer (or flatten in a way that colors would still be editable by dtp people)

I'm fairly new to this software so please have patience with me :P

EDIT: The layer does not contain a raster image. There are only a vector path and a text layer

Ok so I figured it out and it turns out that

I'm a moron

Was selecting layer by clicking on it, and not on the little roundy boi text to the layer name.

Sorry to waste all of y'all time

Before you distort the objects, group them.

This will make a distorted group with all inner objects selectable and editable.

The only reason I can think of as to why Envelope Distort would not be possible would be a linked raster image.

In order to Envelope Distort raster images, they must be embedded, not linked.

Merely highlight the image in the Links Panel (Window > links) and then choose Embed Image from the panel fly out menu.

You should then be able to apply an envelope distortion.
