Import text from Illustrator styles

• Import text from a txt file.

  Hey guys,.

  I'm looking for a way to import text from a .txt file, but I'm totally lost. If someone could point me in the right direction would be great

  Hi Prails
  This script is basically what you asked:

  #target illustrator

  main #targetengine

  function copyText() {}

  text var file is File.openDialog ('select file');.

  If (! textFile.exists | app.documents.length == 0) {}

  return;

  };

  textFile.open ("r");

  var txtContent = textFile.read ();

  textFile.close ();

  var doc = app.activeDocument;

  var textItem = doc.textFrames.add ();

  textItem.contents = txtContent

  };

  copyText ();

  Basically what you need to do is to declare the text file, open, read and close it. Then, you create a new text element in the Illustrator document and write content once caught in the text element.

  You can continue to work with the variable 'textItem' in my example script if you want to set properties such as size, text color, position and so on. Also, if you wish, replace the first line of the function var textFile = new file ("" ~ / Desktop/Test.txt ' "); textFile var = File.openDialog ("select the file"); so the script opens a dialog box asks you the file you want to copy the content.

  Hope to be helped

  Best regards

• The most effective way to import text ('tag' or 'style' pre-text?)

  Once again, my apologies to all the good people here who are so useful that I shows ignorance about the FrameMaker product.

  Always in collaboration with FrameMaker 9, still working on an old background of PageMaker (and print background before that).

  I remember being able to import the tag pre or pre style plain text in PageMaker.  For example, I could put in something the equivalent of a bunch of text that looks like this:

  [body] Lorem ipsum... bibbibity bobbity dooo...

  [subtitle] Presentations to the delicious taste

  [body] More fun text

  And then import this text in PageMaker is pick up these defined styles and make the material much faster import process.

  Is there a way to do the same to that of FrameMaker 9?

  Please feel free to direct me to materials that are in the line/manuals help, but please note that I am following in the paths of a person who used to work and find the manuals and other materials for the software I have * absolutely * know was purchased (I was a systems administrator and know the staff in charge of) (, so I know it was bought and installed using a systems administrator no user has rights to install on their system of my work here) can be which is not simple.

  Thanks in advance

  Oh, a thought here suite.  If something like the above is possible, is it also possible to do the same with materials in the tables?  In other words, can I pre-define the components of a table and see FrameMaker 9 import these materials and create a table for me "automatically"?

  Once again, thank you

  Barry,

  You can use a text editor such as Notepad and the markup of the content in XML format. If this tag is compatible with your ESD, then you can import it into your FrameMaker document for copy or reference and he enrolled in full.

  Tables are a bit more complicated, because you need also some read/write rules to tell FrameMaker which part of the marked-up content is an object table. You can find the details in "DEVELOPING STRUCTURED APPLICATIONS WITHvADOBE® FRAMEMAKER® 9 ' which is supplied with the FrameMaker application.

  Good luck

• Extraire extract text from illustrator for translation, and then replace with translated text

  I am trying to find a way to speed up the translation of our designs.  Each drawing has a series of legends indicating what's this piece of the drawing by the text.  I would need to do hundreds of drawings for each book.

  Issues related to the:

  1. can I write something to a batch file and extract the file name and the text of each textbox so that when I get back translation, I can automate the reintegration of the text translated to its appropriate field (i.e. TextField1 = 'Translate' and then fill in the exact field even with 'Translation')?  For that, I think that each text field should be marked with a unique identifier so that it know what translation goes where in the drawing.  Don't forget, I'm ok with marking manually each textbox if necessary.

  2. assuming that the above is possible, what would be the best program to write the extracted text so that reading and writing the text translated again in the drawing is as easy as possible (Word, Excel, PDF)?

  Scripting is not necessary, but it could be used, let's say has a decorative 100 pices of text all in English, you select one at a time and make dynamic (variable1, variable2... do variable100). Once you have all your variables, you capture a data set, this set of data (an xml file, like BilingualText.xml), then likely the xml to include your translated text and import export Illustrator. Now, you will be abel to switch between English and the translation.

  or if you don't need to switch between languages, simply export the file something like English.xml, then have it translated and saved as Spanish.xml for example and load the file each time its needed.

• Problem with the imported text from quark

  Hello world

  I imported the files of version 4 of quark offshore from a mac to Indesign cs4 on a windows PC. all is well apart from the text being a bit messed up, so I'm pretty happy with that. The problem is that when I drag or copy and paste into a new document images will move but new text will not work with the images.

  By this, I mean that when I try to type something above or nearby graphics graphics just disappear! You can drag on the image that they disappear, then when you drag them away them again reappear!

  Forms I hover over have a thin white border on them where the forms I created directly do not have this boarder.

  Any help you cold give me on this would be great!

  Thanks in advance!

  Sam

  A screenshot would be useful. Post the files would be even better.

  But a guess would be that the objects are actually online and text blocks have skin that are applied to them.

• Best way to import goods from Illustrator to animate and lot to day?

  My brother and I are working on an animation. I create drawings in Illustrator, and he creates animation to animate in CC. He needs to start the animation already, so I'm over him unfinished images, I intend to update several times throughout the project (Polish, redefine the colors,...). We are talking about hundreds of image assets. What would be the best way to implement, so we don't have to export and import each image manually?

  So far, everything I can think of creates all assets as the png. In this way he could-automatic update images easily (provide the size/Center does not change). But we would like to explore the possibility of retaining as well as vectors. Is there an easy way to import/export for this?

  If we decided to go with png, after all, and we have created big enough assets for all purposes, is there a downside? Would there be a loss of quality when the rotation and scale, rather than use vectors?

  Thank you!

  All the currently available features are documented in the work with Illustrator AI to animate CC files

• Import text from the form field in the subject line of the email

  Hello

  Is it possible to import the text field in the subject line of the message when sending back (fixed) PDF form?  In other words, there is a "name of the applicant" and I want that name to the subject line of the e-mail.

  I use Adobe Acrobat X (10.1.7)

  If someone has orientation aby or online resources, where I can find this information I would be very happy!  I have searched all day, but have not yet found a solution.

  Thank you!

  Make sure that check the option Edit - prefs. - JavaScript to display the console on errors and warnings.

  In addition, 'subject' is a bad name for a variable, because there is already a property with the name of the Document object. Rename this variable to something else. Also, remove the bUI: false parameter. It has no effect and takes by default to true.

• Import text from a pdf file and edit it

  I need to go "back" in the way that the normal process would be. I have a PDF (a book) and I need to recreate it in InDesign CS5 (7.0.4) so that I can edit the text. It is no longer available to left the document that produced the pdf document as a first step. I must tell you that I'm working with Acrobat 8.1.5 in Win 7 machine.  That's what I thought would be the answer for me: first, I exported the PDF in Acrobat 8 as an html tag (export-> HTML-> HTML 4.01, CSS 1.0) file. The html file seemed to have all the formatting in it. Then, I opened the html doc in MS Word and saved as a file of rtl. Then I could put the text of the rtl file in my new InDesign document. The bad news is that, in all the many notes, italicized text are lost. Of course notes are not linked (with the actual note reference numbers), but I did not do. Does anyone have another technique, version, software or script to try? It is important to get the italics to convert the exported file and I can make corrections on the text in InDesign.

• Import text from a file?

  I have a client who asked me to make their catalog of products in an unusual way. They wanted to page-by-page basis, because each page has its own descriptive number and, after the layout initial finished, they wanted their internal person to be able to update the information. I was fine with that because I really don't want to be disturbed by the change of 104567-12 a to 104567-12 b part number.

  For the most part, they are happy with the Setup except for one thing: along the bottom of each page, they have a big file of copyright, the kind of thing that needs to be updated once a year with the new year (although the rest of the text does not really change). When I first made this project, I did research on whether or not it was possible to put in place a framework in InDesign 5 (which is what they have and they will not be upgraded) to pull in the text of a document on the opening. Due to the nature of the Internet, I could not find anything, all the research I brought back a wealth of information on everything but the only thing I wanted to know.

  However, several years have passed now, and I therefore ask the community: anyone know of a way - a script or plugin perhaps - that will help you get the text in an external source? Basically, if there was something I had to put in the text box in InDesign that referenced text in a file flat .txt in the same folder, it would be great. So that whenever the document is opened, it would just shoot this text in and keep the formatting of the text box.

  This same customer is missing the entire catalog be brushed in appearance a little and if I could fix it this thing for them, they would be very happy. In terms of putting this all together in a single document, they do not want that that each page is used as a separate Web site PDF, so the person who made the changes internally would have a very hard time remembering what to name each page that was exported.

  Thank you!

  Create a document separate InDesign with copyright information. This native document can be placed and directly linked to all your clients the documents page. In this way, they update the copyright document (keeping his name even) and it will connect automatically.

• Import text objects, editing in artificial intelligence, by copying the interactions, etc.

  First of all, I would like to congratulate the Flash Catalyst team and the work that they have done so far. He is off to a very good start, and I can't wait for the finished product. A little history: I am currently working on the design of user interface for a software tool. I am running CF on Snow Leopard (MacBook Pro with 3 GHz/4 GB RAM). I was looking for something to take my design of the Illustrator, bring it to life in a working prototype, circulate comments and eventually pass on to developers to use as a reference (they write C++ in Visual Studio). I have just a few questions/requests/bugs to appear:

  (1) when I import text from Illustrator objects, Flash Catalyst is unable to maintain the base changes. Am I missing something? I read that unique features for CF gave priority, and this other standard options formatting in Illustrator or Photoshop would follow in future versions. Is - that one of these options (as well as stroke, masks of clipping, etc.) that will eventually be supported? Or do I have to submit it as a feature request?

  (2) in addition, it seems that the grid of the CF is not as many pixels as the grid to HAVE it. When I import small objects that correspond to the guides, they become blurred - it's like fitting 10 people on 9 chairs. The gaps and overlaps appear. This will be reconciled in later versions? Or do I have to submit a feature request for this?

  (3) when I select a group of objects and click Edit > edit in Adobe Illustrator CS4, a dialog box appears with the title "Edit in Adobe Illustrator. Here's an exclamation point in a bubble and text "Selection of editing in Adobe Illustrator... ». The problem is, the box never goes away, and nothing happens in Illustrator. Am I missing something? Is this a bug? This feature works for other people?

  (4) I read about this elsewhere, but I have not found a concise answer. CF does support the copy of component interactions? By example, if I copy and paste a custom component, or if I export a component library and then import it, it loses all of its defined interactions. Is there a work around? Or plans to implement?

  (5) < Deleted > found in 'ideas '.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Sponce,

  Thanks for the kind words. I'm going to dive into your questions:

  (1) catalyst should maintain base shifts to import. Our goal is a complete fidelity with the original work. If you publish a file HAVE that has this issue, I can file a bug (unless it's been fixed since Beta 2, which is quite possible - we made many improvements to import fidelity).

  Also, I wanted to clarify the thing you discover more complex "formatting options". WHEN you import the PS, or FXG, the work should appear exactly as it did in the original tool (modulo very small differences). However, catalyst can not supported the MODIFICATION of more sophisticated objects or properties (masks, complex gradients, paths, HAVE mesh warp, etc.).  This is where 'Edit in Illustrator': you can pop at work in to, make changes there and then back to FC.

  (2) this can happen in some cases:

  (A) the reader Flash has a rendering engine of different text that HAVE, this text may look different. If it is critical for you, you can choose to convert the text to outlines when importing text.

  (B) alignment of the pixels: I supports the investment object subpixel very accurate because it can produce for print (where pixel doesn't really count). However, these objects blurry when displayed on a computer screen (where import pixels). You can see this simply by drawing a rectangle in artificial intelligence at 100% zoom. Objects in CF should be aligned with the boundaries of the pixels because it generates exclusively to a computer monitor. When you import and manipulate the work CF it automatically snaps to pixel boundaries. That's good because your fuzzy rectangle will become blurred, but it is not very good because small tedious objects seem not quite right.

  (3) your work should appear in Illustrator, ready to be edited. In Beta 2, it is only supported with Illustrator CS4. What version do you have?

  (4) it is not supported, and we do not have a proposal or plans to support. You must submit your proposal on the ideas site: http://ideas.adobe.com/labs

  (5) is not supported, but it is a good idea, so you should put it on the site of ideas. You can encode up to this behavior in Flash Builder, but you'll have to dive into coding.

• Drag the vectors from Illustrator to Photoshop does not. No responses, please help!

  I asked this question already with no help or answers, after the most recent update app for cc photoshop and illustrator, I am more able to drag an object or text in illustrator and place it in a photoshop document as I have for 20 years. There is obviously a glitch somewhere as the 'place' pointer appears in photoshop it's going to work, but then nothing happening, no new layer, no object. This is a very useful option, and I can't keep saving objects to having to open in photoshop instead, takes too long, the pain in the ass. Anyone else having issues? Answers or solutions?

  Hi jadyng,

• Why can't I paste from Illustrator directly into Edge 2014?

  I tried to copy and paste from Illustrator (Mac CS5.1) directly on the edge, but without success. The version of Illustrator I use is a problem?

  Hi, Illustrator CS6 and below is not taken in charge of Clipboard for SVG. The Clipboard support SVG has been added in Illustrator only in the version of Illustrator CC. The function copy / paste has been added in version Edge animate CC 2014.

  • For all non-text content vector: you can copy the work of Ilustrator CC and superior and stick to the CC 2014 (June release) edge.
  • To have the text of content: you can copy the text from Illustrator CC 2014 work (June release) and stick to the CC 2014 (June release) edge.

  Hope this helps

• Text copied from Illustrator CC 2014.1.0 pasta like Image

  I've seen similar discussions, but none of the answers are no help for me as of today.

  Background:

  I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10

  All my CC applications are updated to the (01/11/14)

  I'm also updating on all other software on my Mac

  My goal:

  Copy text in illustrator

  Stick it in the Mail and TextEdit Notes live editable text

  Results:

  Text glue as pdf or some type of an image according to the application

  What it looks like:

  

  I'll start from the beginning to avoid questions later.

  I open a new document in Illustrator.

  

  These are the settings to Clipboard in my preferences.

  Please Note - I tried all combinations of these parameters. Turn them on and off one at a time and in combination does nothing to change the final product. I have disabled them all for this example, in order to scramble the not.

  

  I type the text. I did not use a text box in this example. I just clicked on the page with the text tool and type this line. There are no additional attributes. You can see that the parameters of characters are the most basic. Yet once, please note - I tried to use a text box with the same result.

  

  I use the text tool to highlight the text, then copy the text. I do not use the selection tool to select the text and copy.

  

  This is what looks like the Clipboard. Note that the content is "text".

  If I type the text in PS (for example) and copy to the Clipboard, it says "text". However, the text that I copy off PS I can stick anywhere in the editable text.

  If I type the text in the Notes and copy to the Clipboard, it said RTF. This text can also be pasted anywhere text as editable.

  This leads me to believe that it is a problem centered on Illustrator I have experience.

  

  I click in the body of an email and paste. Seems fine, but when I try to click in the text (for example, between the words 'in' and 'Mail') I can't do.

  

  The line of words is highlighted and not editable.

  

  If I click with the right button on the image of the text line and select "Open the attachment" you can see the Clipboard pasted as uneditable text and .pdf.

  

  Interestingly, if I open a new note and try to paste the line of text, it sticks as a .pdf file but just the icon appear. Double clicking on the icon will open the text in PDF in acrobat.

  I don't have this problem until the CC2014 updates were made. I would like to know if there is something that can be done, or is this a bug in Illustrator. If it's a bug I don't want to spend time looking for workarounds. I will use another program when I know there's a lot of work to copy / paste to do. It's embarrassing for my Illustrator old files that have now issue when I open them in CC2014.

  I know that I can use the "paste and match style" but it's a force of habit to use the shortcut for paste. It is also a ridiculous change of Illustrator for the cut/paste to act that way. If indeed it was planned and not a bug, what would be the advantage?

  If someone saw the problem that I am eager to know what is happening.

  Finally, if there is no other way to solve this problem then can anyone remind me how to customize the combinations of shortcut keys in Mail, Notes, and TextEdit? I seem to remember (long ago) being able to customize certain shortcuts in some applications, but I've never done in something else that Adobe applications and even then it was CS5.

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  Hello, I finally found away around this really annoying "bug" / "Headache" If you select the text (NOT with the text with the cursor tool) then right click and select "export selection" ( http://i.imgur.com/gM0hIPR.png ) and export it to SVG ( http://i.imgur.com/QaWiOYl.png ) and then open what you export in your browser (Internet explorer, chrome ect) and you can copy the text from there ( http://i.imgur.com/YJuE8JX.png ). I was very disappointed because even to try to copy it from Adobe Illustrator into Adobe Muse all right programs would freeze and close so I think he calls a 'suite' when you can not just simply copy and paste text from one to another is a bit of a cheek. Anyway hope this helped someone out there in the world

• Illustrator can't open my file - shows just the import text options

  Hello! I was just working with Illustrator on Windows and my PC was in accident. After that restart Illustrator can't open the file-it just opens a blank document with the 'Text Import Options' window illustrated above.

  See this document on how to use it:

  https://helpx.Adobe.com/de/Illustrator/using/crash-file-data-recovery.html

  It is important that, after a crash, you open Illustrator and just double click on your file.

  When he presents a few warnings error, comes through them but read carefully, and then click options to choose wisely.

  When the revival after an accident you have a unique possibility to recover your file (and even that may fail).

  For the file in question your food options are very limited, but for the future, you might want to take action.

• How can I move a file to another AI work/text in Illustrator 4.1? ART EXPORT and IMPORT ART and ART of the PLACE do not work.

  How can I move a file to another AI work/text in Illustrator 4.1?  Using the art of export, import or the art of the place don't give me image.  What transfers is a rectangular box with a big X in it.  Illustration of the song gives me only a distorted picture.

  If it really is version 4, it is 25 years old. I'm surprised you have install much less run. Then copy and paste does not work? These files generated in V4 or newer files? The really only files up to V8 may be opening in V4. After that, the format of file completely changed.
