JavaScript - help the layers?

• Keep the layers shown by javascript in Acrobat

  Hey guys,.

  I'm hoping to find an answer to my problem here, because I don't really know what else to try right now...

  I did a dynamic form for a company with Adobe Acrobat Pro. If I chose something a menu drop-down, some new forms and another layer of the PDF file becomes visible. I managed to do all this using javascript and form actions.

  The problem is that I am not able to keep the layers visible when I save. Is it possible that it remains exactly as it was when I am saving? It would be really important because the company uses this form to customer and they need to see what was visible and verified by customers of course.

  Thanks for the help

  There are two ways to do this.

  The first is to change the property initState layer that determines if it showed or not when the file is opened.

  It is the best way to do it, but the problem is that this property is read-only in the drive, unless your file is only used in Acrobat is not really feasible.

  The second is to use a script to show/hide layers based on logic when the file is opened, using a script at the level of the doc.

  The logic will be probably the same thing as what you already use for your drop-down lists and other areas, you just need to adjust it so that it is executed when the file is opened, not only when the values of these fields is changed.

• Need help with custom script to rename the layers

  Hello world.

  I need help to write a custom script (because I suck at it) that will allow me to go through all the layers and sous-calques for a specific name ('X') and give it a new specific name ('Y').

  I have had success using the script below, but it does not work on any text layers names where the text layer was previously particularly well-known in 'X' and now changed needs.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  * Note: this script was originally used to find any layer with 'Copy' in its name and remove with anything after (to correct the problem of duplication of layers by adding this text).

  This is why the function is named removeCopy. It works for renaming layers also - just not a layer of text unfortunately.

  #target illustrator

  	function removeCopy() {}
  	If (app.documents.length == 0) return;
  	var app.activeDocument = docRef;
  	recurseLayers (docRef.layers);
  	}
  	removeCopy();
  	function recurseLayers (objArray) {}
  	for (var i = 0; i < objArray.length; i ++) {}
  	ObjArr [i] .name = ObjArr [i].name.replace (/ \s*current name\s*\d*/, 'new name');
  	If (objArray [i] .layers) recurseLayers (. layers.length > 0 ObjArr [i]);
  	}
  	}

  I finally found something after searching forums for a week. My confusion was related to the way Illustrator treats real layers against text/path/object "layers." Instead of layers, I had to use the pageItems in the script. The code below works. Thanks to Gustavo for his answer in another thread and Carlos I thank you for this looking too good! You're great to be ready to help models do more advanced things with Illustrator.

  	var doc = app.activeDocument;
  	var items = doc.pageItems;
  	for (var g = 0; g)
  	elements [g] .name = elements [g].name.replace ('Century Schoolbook text line', ' MonogramText: Century Schoolbook ");
  	};
  	App.Redraw ();

• Folder level Javascript executes the Menu item, but not button - need a work around... Help, please

  I have a JavaScript that contains a function of confidence with a SOAP operation inside the confidence function.

  This function is inside a folder level script.

  When calling this function to a menu item, it works fine.

  When I try to add and call this function from a button or a Signature field to the title of JavaScript execution when signed, it will not work and I get an error message.

  What I'm missing and there is a work around, I need to run it from a button or a signature field?

  Any ideas?

• help edit the layers of starter model

  Hi I have a client that I chose to use the photo adobe Starter model. How to change the home page titled expose? I want to tell it like it is the layers panel. the Toronto show the following

  Page, footer menu

  How to change or merge in the next layers?

  Master of the House,

  I also want to separate the page sign in what follows. I noticed the layout of the phone is on the layout.  which is the same as the layout of office. as he muse configuration confuses me. I was told that its best to each layout on its own layer.  but I'm afraid I can screw up the entire site.

  other than the site is great. only I don't get a design page layouts. its so different after trial to white.

  problem has been resolved. I was playing with layers and discovered there's a movement to the layer in the object Panel. I created a new layer and called it the menu phone. then in the menu, I moved everything under this new layer. That's what I was trying to separate the layers without messing up the layout of the site.

  Thank you

• Script Help: The names of layers from the Excel data

  Hello!

  I'm a noob script and have tried to learn, but unfortunately I just haven't the time. Projects at work keep me in the Bay. In any case, here's my scenario and I hope someone can guide me.

  I want a script that would look at a database (XML, CSV, excel or anything that works) and create separate layers in illustrator based on the data.

  Example: description and part number comes from a database. Name of the Illustrator layer is what I want the automation script. The reason for this request is a 200 point that I don't want to retype.

  Part number	Description	Name of the Illustrator layer
  33456	Point 1	33456_Item 1
  33457	Point 2	33457_Item 2
  33458	Point 3	33458_Item 3
  33459	Point 4	33459_Item 4
  33460	Point 5	33460_Item 5
  33461	Item 6	33461_Item 6
  33462	Point 7	33462_Item 7
  33463	Item 8	33463_Item 8

  After that, I have all my items, with correct layer names, I export each layer as a separate PDF file. The name of the export file would be identical to the layer name with "_1up" appended to the end. For example, 33456_Item 1_1up.ai.

  I would have a separate illustrator file that contains all the same name of the layer as above and then I place the exported file, he respected the layer. This is where the script of another would be great. Is it possible to make a script that will place an image on a layer that has similar naming structures (the only differences would be the name of the layer would not "_1up")?

  I hope this makes sense and I know that I ask a lot. I thank very you much in advance!

  still not sure why export you all the layers to separate the files only to place them all back again?

  but this will get your layers created.

  var line,lay,myLayers = [];
  var csvFile = File('e:/csv.csv');
  csvFile.open( 'r' );
  while(!csvFile.eof){
      line = csvFile.readln();
      line = line.replace(',','_');
      myLayers.push(line);
  }
  csvFile.close();
  var doc = app.activeDocument;
  for(var i = myLayers.length - 1; i > 0; i--){
      lay = doc.layers.add();
      lay.name = myLayers[i];
  }
  var oldLayer = doc.layers.getByName('Layer 1');
  oldLayer.remove();
  

  CSV should simply be:

  33456, point 1

  33457, point 2

• Help, stroke reacts only not to the order of the layers

  

  Don't know what happened, everything was going well until I have black square, zoom out and all the features of forms seem to ignore the order of the layers.

  Always on the search to see if I accidentally activated changed a setting.

  Anyone know what I have screwed up?

  You have applied the race to the layer. See the symbol of the circle to the right? It is filled on the layer. You should read the manual on appearances and the target.

  Is there more than one layer shown on your layers panel?

  If there is a text layer, you can disable the lift for this layer or delete the layer.

• Script to change the selected layer to one of the drop-down list in the layers palette colors

  Hello!

  I was wondering if anyone knows of a script that would allow me to change the selected layers (single or multiple selection) in 'Light Blue' or all the colors in the menu drop-down? (see attached screenshot)

  I found the following but it changes all layers and is the RGB color.

  -----

  say application "Adobe Illustrator"

  set current_Layer in current document

  view the dialog box "in the current document there is" & layersCounter & "layers." & "Recolor label layers?"

  Repeat until (layersCounter = 0)

  set color of layer layersCounter in the current document to {Light Blue}

  set layersCounter to layersCounter - 1

  end Repeat

  end say

  -----
  

  

  I don't know how the script so any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

  as far as I can tell this is only possible with a few other modifications... Since 'selected' is not a property of "layers" javascript cannot determine if you see a highlighted layer in the layers panel.

  you could do one of 2 ways. Depending on how many layers you want to change the color, you can either make those visible or hidden (for example, if you want to change to 80% of the layers of a specific color, hide others 20%). and then simply add a clause inside the loop if for.

  var doc = app.activeDocument;

  var layers = doc.layers;

  Blue of var = new RGBColor();

  Blue.Red = 79;

  Blue.Green = 128;

  Blue.Blue = 255;

  for (i = 0; i<>

  If (layers [i] .visible == true) {}

  var = aLay layers [i];

  aLay.color = blue;

  }

  }

• Scripting inDesign: Loop through the layers

  I'm doing a script that will:

  To loop through all the layers in a document.

  Add the layers unlocked in table

  Loop in this table and glue them in place on each layer.

  I don't know how to loop through all the layers.

  Here is my script (I used? to represent where would the loop through all the part of layers):

  JavaScript document

  Set up a table to keep unlocked layers

  var layercollection = [];

  Browse layers and unlocked the layercollection table

  for (i = 0;? i ++) {}

  app.activeDocument.activeLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.itemByName (?);

  If (app.documents [0] .layers.) ([i]). Locked) == false;

  layercollection.push (Layers.itemByName ([i]))

  }

  Loop in table layercollection and paste in place

  for (i = 0; i < layercollection.length; i ++) {}

  app.activeDocument.activeLayer = app.activeDocument.layers.itemByName (tl [i]);

  app.pasteInPlace (); Dough

  }

  Can someone help me complete my script.

  Thank you!

  Did you test them all your solutions in a real world scenario?

  Theoretically, it should work this way (if one ignores that a layer is invisible, too), but even without the problem of invisible layers app.pasteInPlace () prefer to paste into the original layer, if the option "Paste remembers Layers" is checked.

  So I recommend you do the following:

  var oldPasteRem = app.clipboardPreferences.pasteRemembersLayers;
  //uncheck "Paste Remembers Layers"
  app.clipboardPreferences.pasteRemembersLayers = false;
  
  for (i = 0; i < app.activeDocument.layers.length; i++) {
  
      //Maybe the user does not want objects pasted to invisible layers:
      if(app.activeDocument.layers[i].visible == true && app.activeDocument.layers[i].locked == false) {
          app.activeDocument.activeLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[i];
          app.pasteInPlace();
      };
  };
  //Restore the old condition:
  app.clipboardPreferences.pasteRemembersLayers = oldPasteRem;

• retrieve the layers in psd

  I saved my four day work on photoshop, with about 25 layers, last night. When I opened the morning, there is only one layer containing only the final image. all I remember about the things that I did my job last night is that I made a copy of the original psd file and then saved in a jpg file 8000 * 6000 pixels, in CMYK mode, then converted to RGB apple, save as jpg, convert it to rgb 1998 save in jpg format, then save in psd, then the copy of the original psd reduced to 640 * 480 and save as jpg. I think that I closed two files after that... now, when I opened the morning both the copy and the original have only a layer that says "layer 11' my saved jpg images are on the beach from 15 to 20 MB. and both the psd are 240 MB, I suppose I still have layers hidden inside the psd file... Please help me get back the layers...

  Thanks in advance...

  Yes, going to flatten an evolution of the default color profile. There is a checkbox convert without flattening.

  The reason is that converts the RGB values of the changes, if adjustment layers will have different effects according to the color space. Flattening is the only way to preserve the appearance.
