Artboard no visible limits
I opened my .ai file I was working on yesterday to find that all my work plans are without visible limits. I have 4 commissions separate 5 x 7 in this file.
Any suggestions? I appreciate any help you can offer.
Thank you

Sort groupItems Array using the left coordinate of visible limits?
Hey all! It's been a while, but I'm back with some more busters of brain for you guys.
I'm trying to re - work a script that Silly-V wrote to me. The goal is to create a work plan around each group of a document element in the order of the top left corner to the lower right (as if reading a book). (ultimately I would like to add a provision that excludes the possibility of having a work plan contained by another work plan, but it is a luxury that I can try to find later).
Silly script works very well and does exactly what I need... about 60% of the time. The problem comes when I have an item that contains a clipping mask. Since work plans are created through groupItem.visibleBounds, Illustrator assumes that the invisible work that extends beyond the clipping mask is visible and creating a work plan that is too much.
His version pushes the visible boundaries of each groupItem in an array, then sorts the visible boundaries of the left coordinate, then pushes this sub-table in another table and at the end, to coordinate kinds berries vertically at the top... However, I'm looking to push the real groupItems in the table instead of just the visible limits. So I would like to sort the groupItems by their visible limits table and then I have the opportunity of either by creating work plans based on their visible limits or (the possibility of) loop to make each groupItem selected = true and using the fitArtboardToSelectedart() command.
I'm stuck on how to sort the groupItems table based on the visible limits... Here's what I have so far:
my inclination is to set a variable to the visibleBounds of each groupItem in temp (which seems like it would need a loop), but it's not supposed loop me XIRR...? There is something really big, I'm missing here, but I can't wrap my head around it.
Thanks for any help!
function organize(){ var docRef = app.activeDocument; var layer = docRef.layers[0]; var groups = layer.groupItems; var currentRowMarker; var groupList = []; //array of all groupItems var sortedGroupList = []; //array of subarrays sorted by visible bounds var temp = []; //temporary array for the current row of groupItems. sort this array from left to right first, then push the entire array into "sortedGroupList" //populate groupList for (g=0; g<groups.length; g++){ groupList.push(groups[g]); } //set currentRowMarker and compare rest of groupList to top coordinate of visible bounds. push true results to temp array. for (t=0; t<groupList.length; t++){ temp = []; currentRowMarker = groupList[t].visibleBounds[1]; temp.push(groupList[t]); groupList.splice(t,1); for (c=0; c<groupList.length; c++){ var currentGroup = groupList[c]; var vB = groupList[c].visibleBounds[1]; if (vB + 20 > currentRowMarker && vB - 20 < currentRowMarker){ temp.push(currentGroup); groupList.splice(c,1); } } //this is where i'd like to sort the temp array sortedGroupList.push(temp); } } organize();
Thanks for your help, Vassili.
I've been unable to get your suggestion to work, does not mean that it was an erroneous suggestion. So I decided to go the more complicated route. I hope that I can learn about why your suggestion did not work for me in a subsequent attempt.
I am sure that this isn't the most elegant way to perform this task, but it was the only way that makes sense to me. Here's what I ended up with:
for (s=temp.length; s>0; s--){ var placeholder = 0; var farthestLeft; var deleteIndex; for (a=0; a

CS5 resize artboard to the limits of Type rather than on board bounding box
Hello world
When I resize a work plan when the type is involved on the perimeters of the design, as opposed to the contours, the artboard is resized up/down of the inclusive type, leaving a gap at the top and/or bottom type ascenders and descenders. I need to have the resizing function resize the artboard up/down of the type itself so that I can measure the actual size of the image. It works fine if I convert type to outlines, but that does not go back and change the type later after recording, of course. I looked around for settings preference possible which could allow this, but came up empty. Are there tricks or am I missing something?
Thank you very much in advance for your help!
1. choose the type
2. the effect > path > outline object
3. resize the artboard

You will need to set the 416,67% (both horizontal and vertical) scale. Default export at 100% will give you a 72 dpi PNG.

Hello again everyone.
I was able to work on a lot of this code to other people's questions, but I hit a snag in my if/else clause structure... I need to make a plan to work around each groupItem of high-level layer [0]. This part is cake... unless there is a clipping mask. Visible limits do not work when there is a clipping mask. So, I built some of the loops that browse the pathItems search the clipping mask and return the visibleBounds said mask. However, I can't find how to structure the if clause in a way that will create the plan of work around the clipping mask when one exists.
I am successful to find the visibleBounds of the mask and the creation of the appropriate graphic board, but it is ALSO to create a work plan around the visible boundaries of the entire group. How framing an if clause to determine if a work plan has been done around the clip path already and therefore not create a second work plan around the visible boundaries of the groupItem together? I guess I would need some sort of function to determine if createdArtboardAroundClip = true and if so, skip this group...
Thank you all.
Here is the code:
var aB = docRef.artboards; var docLayers = docRef.layers; var layer1 = docLayers[0]; var groupLevel1 = layer1.groupItems; for (a = 0; a < groupLevel1.length; a++){ var groupLevel2 = groupLevel1[a].groupItems; var vB = groupLevel1[a].visibleBounds for (b = 0; b < groupLevel2.length; b++){ var paths = groupLevel2[b].pathItems; for (c = 0; c < paths.length; c++){ if (paths[c].clipping == true){ var clipBounds = paths[c].visibleBounds; aB.add(clipBounds); break; } } } aB.add(vB); }
Oh sorry, I forgot that one. I was able to view the image basically to see what is happening. Okay, so I saw a problem, you have one of your straps closure irrelevant. Your first nested for loop does not close where you want.

We have an end user with a valid account that receives a request to approve the document, but when he opens the eSign link, it says it is not "authorized to view the content of this document of. This could be the cause of this problem?
Thank you.

The answer is:
Go to 'visibility limited document' account-> Account settings-> global settings and uncheck the option 'Signatories will see only files containing input fields, acronyms or signed data that a. summer', save changes and send a new transaction, the problem will disappear.

Can I export objects without borders?
Hey guys,.
I write on a xml export script. Unfortunately, I can't use the function "export images" of xml, as I have two different types. For some "< area >" s I need original and for some images, I need those formatted. If I export object or object.graphics depending on what I need in both cases. Now the question is, how to export object without the border? While I have only the image of the perfect size.
A solution would be to duplicate the object, save visible limits with the border and make the border '0' calculate the difference. Then I could reduce the frame size, I need and export this object.
In my view, it is a bit strange and think it might be a known function that makes it easy. Is there, or do I have to write my own function?
Best regards
Fred
I just wrote my own function now. Note that I need "MM" for my race, that's why I calculate STROKE * 0.35277... Maybe this will help someone.
function tagImagesV2 (object) {}
myDup = object.duplicate ();
strokeWidth = object.strokeWeight * 0.352777778;
alignment = object.strokeAlignment;
myDup.strokeWeight = 0;
If (Alignment.ToString () == 'CENTER_ALIGNMENT')
difference = strokeWidth/2;
Another yew (alignment.toString () is "INSIDE_ALIGNMENT")
difference = strokeWidth;
Another yew (alignment.toString () is "OUTSIDE_ALIGNMENT")
difference = 0;
myDup.geometricBounds = [myDup.geometricBounds [0] + difference, myDup.geometricBounds [1] + difference, myDup.geometricBounds [2] - difference, myDup.geometricBounds [3] - difference];
here your xml stuff
myDup.remove ();
}

ArtboardRect, what exactly?
I try desperately to get VB.net to set the property to ArtboardRect so I can automate the resizing of the artboard to fit the work. Everything I try, I always get a message of 'exception' meaingless VB back :-). From another thread, it seems easy in Javascript, using:
var myVisibleBounds = docRef.pageItems [0] .visibleBounds;
.... [values defined in the code].
docRef.artboards [0] .artboardRect = myVisibleBounds;etc.
However, I can't work if ArtBoardRect is simply a table of four (probably duplicate values) or a structure, etc. The object model viewer ExtendScript says only this:
Artboard.artboardRect
Data type: Rect
Typotheque Adobe Illustrator CS4
Size and position of the artboard.and this:
Rect
Base class: Array
Typotheque Adobe Illustrator CS4
The Rect class is a table with the indexes of integers whose values represent the properties left, right, top, and bottom of a rectangle. It also has the length property.So is it really a table? With 4 elements or 5? What are the values?
Any help would be much appreciated, because Illustrator has no quick way to resize the artboard to the limits of drawing object (click the artboard tool, pull down the drop to the bottom of the toolbar, choose the work plan correspond to the limits of the work, zzzz)- and yet it is something that I (and many others) need to do every single drawing before you import it to FrameMaker.

How crop to the artboard in CS5 without limits of the work?
I am trying to save for the Web of a drawing in the CS 5, but he keeps the "adapt to the option limits work. Result is a jpg file with the size of the original drawing even after disconnection from the smallest area of the detailed work plan I want to use on the web.
In CS2, I have just cropped out. How it work in CS5?
In the save for web in the image tab there is an option to clip to the artboard check that and then hit underneath the button apply.
You can also draw a work plan to the breast in a work plan to the size of the area that you want the art to be by pressing the SHIFT key while you start to drag the artboard tool hen release the SHIFT key when you drag to create a plan of work without the limited proportions.

limits of selection visible only when displaying preview overprinting
This only happens on some documents, not all and I can't find differences of parameters between a document and the other - sometimes, I can click on an item to select, and the boundaries of the selection are visible only if I saw overprinting checked in the separations Preview Panel. No idea why this is happening? Thanks in advance.

I would like to know why, then the Merge visible layers in a work plan, not canvas enlarge with, what was once a work plan is mainly my work surrounded by a vast area of transparent pixels?
Then use "merge layers" instead of "Merge visible layers?
You will need to select layers in a plan of work in the first place, that is easy. Just use the classic controls to select a range of layers (shift + click) or specific layers (Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) + click). Select never work the process plans, and they never disappear.
