Modes of draw adjustment via script?

Is there a way of setting of the draw via a script?

I can't find any info.

What I would like is to set the mode to draw to paint indoors for a selected path via a script instead of double click on the toolbar button or press SHIFT + D twice.

Hi here, present two objects of sample clips. Let me know if you need to 'draw' more than one inside.

Select two objects (the mask on top) before running the script.

#target Illustrator

//  script.name = drawInsideViaClippingMask.jsx;
//  script.description = makes a clipping mask, retaining fill/stroke, to simulate "draw inside";
//  script.required = two paths selected, top most path is the clipping mask;
//  script.parent = carlos canto // 8/16/11;
//  script.elegant = false;

if (app.documents.length > 0)
    {
        var idoc = app.activeDocument; // get active document;
        var sel = idoc.selection; // get selection

        if (sel.length==2) // continue only if 2 objects are selected
            {
                var igroup = idoc.groupItems.add(); // add a group that will be the clipping mask group

                var imask = sel[0]; // the mask is the object on top
                var ipath = sel[1]; // the "drawn object" is at the bottom

                var idup = imask.duplicate(); // duplicate the mask, to later get the fill and stroke to apply to the clipping path

                ipath.move(igroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING); // add both path to the group
                imask.move (igroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);

                imask.clipping = true; // make the mask the clipping path
                igroup.clipped = true; // clip the everything in the group to the clipping mask

                imask.fillColor = idup.fillColor; // add fill color, same as the dup
                imask.stroked = true; // stroke the mask
                imask.strokeWidth = idup.strokeWidth; // add stroke width, same as the dup
                imask.strokeColor = idup.strokeColor; // add stroke color, seme as the dup

                idup.remove(); // remove the duplicate
            }
        else // show this message if other than 2 objects are selected
            {
                alert("Select both, the Mask and the object that needs to be 'inside'.\rThe Mask needs to be the top most object.");
            }
     }
 else
    {
        alert ("there are no open documents");
    }

You can determine if a TextLayer is a Vertical or Horizontal via script?

Hi all
I did a little digging around and could not find if there was a way to determine if a TextLayer object was created with the Horizontal Type tool or the Vertical Type via script? Also, it would be something that could be changed by program?
Thank you!

I'm not aware of any way to get directly to this attribute. You could probably deduce the State with sourceRectAtTime(), but I don't know any way to set/change.

Export of the correct Hex colors via script

Hi all
I need to export the fillColor of a paragraph via script style.
I can get the fillColor of the paragraph style property and can also convert CMYK Hex. However, I realize that color in InDesign values in some color space of the document uses.
My question is, is there a native API to convert the values of color for a web safe color value? If this is not the case, how can I go on the correspondences between colors?
In addition, I see that Adobe knows internally to convert it to a good hex color (attached screenshot - note the color property in the export marking side). If I can't use some native API, is there a way to access the text in this pane?
Thank you all in advance!

Win! It worked!

Here is the complete solution-

Assuming that the original color is stored in a variable named color :
```
var color = passedInColor; //the original color that we wish to convert.

// Create a temporary color instance that we'll use to extract updated colorValues.
var scratchColor = workingDoc.colors.add({
                         model: color.model,
                         space: color.space,
                         colorValue: color.colorValue
                    });

// Now, we force adobe's internal color conversion mechanism to trigger by changing the scratchColor's color space.
scratchColor.space = ColorSpace.RGB;
var updatedValues = scratchColor.colorValue; // Updated values now has the properly mapped and converted RGB values.
// You may need to round off the R, G and B values in the updatedValues array.
// And that's it!
```
Why am I not surprised that she should be a hacky autour work? * sigh *. It was so so so frustrating to work on this platform! I hope adobe gets his act together!

Hello

You can access any component in the flex application based on the hierarchy of this component.

parentApplication.CompParentOf_2.CompParentOf_1.AnyComponent;

parentApplication.CompParentOf_2.CompParentOf_1.AnyPublicVar;

ParentApplication is defined as the main appplication.

Bike via script of paragraph styles - need help

Hello
I have a large document (potentially 3000 pages), on each page is a picture of a picture frame and inside each image is a famous quote. I need to type in each quote so I have 10 configuration value different paragraph styles in a different font. I need a script that applies "QuoteStyle1" the text on the first page, "QuoteStyle2" on the next page, etc., and once that 'QuoteStyle10' has been applied the script performs a loop and continues to scroll through the styles apply a style that is different on each page, until it reaches the end of the document.
I got a start on the script (see image), but I think the problem is the line 11 - I want to run the script without having to select anything.
Some additional info that may or may not be of use - all quotes are drawn from a data merge. There is also a name and a color from the data merge. The background on each frame is a different color and that is created with the a very large 'rule below' in a number of other paragraph styles. They are applied with a 'Find & ReplacebyList' i.e. find replace 'Red' with the paragraph style "ColourRed. In the script, I tried to ignore these "color" paragraph styles (lines 2-9) is only the 'quote' styles that the effects of the script.
Any help getting this race would be more useful.

First of all congratulations for the very creative use of blending modes. I would have never thought about it by myself.

Now, for the script, here are two ways to do it (both enjoy the fact that you use a paragraph style BaseQuote):

(1) use a grep search:
```
var doc=app.activeDocument;
var baseQ=doc.paragraphStyles.item('BaseQuoteStyle');
var switchToStyles=[
'QuoteStyle1',
'QuoteStyle2',
'QuoteStyle3',
'QuoteStyle4',
'QuoteStyle5',
'QuoteStyle6',
'QuoteStyle7',
'QuoteStyle8',
'QuoteStyle9',
'QuoteStyle10'];
var l=switchToStyles.length;
app.findGrepPreferences=app.findChangeGrepOptions=null;
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle=baseQ;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeMasterPages=false;
var quotes=doc.findGrep();
for (var i=0; i
(2) scroll all managers of related texts:
var doc=app.activeDocument;
var baseQ=doc.paragraphStyles.item('BaseQuoteStyle');
var pags=doc.pages.everyItem().getElements();
var switchToStyles=[
'QuoteStyle1',
'QuoteStyle2',
'QuoteStyle3',
'QuoteStyle4',
'QuoteStyle5',
'QuoteStyle6',
'QuoteStyle7',
'QuoteStyle8',
'QuoteStyle9',
'QuoteStyle10'];

Write orders for specific data channels in report output via script or generating an automated script...

In my project, I need to do some calculations, and then get the data plotted in the given report model. I use an automated for this script. My script is doing all the calculations and then he did not select and drag and drop the selected channels on the report model. His recording of the report template is empty.

I'm fighting to get the specific channels data plotted using the script. I need the selected channels appear on this report template and then get saved.

Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you

Hi LaxG,

If your script creates calculated channels, then you know what you're naming them - why your presentation of the STATE could not contain references to these names channels already? Is it a dynamic number of conditional curves to the results of the analysis, or perhaps a dynamic number of REPORT sheets?

You can programmatically change the reference of string of existing curves or the columns of the table with a VBScript DIAdem. You can also add a curved column or a table with a VBScript DIAdem. But the more you can save in the TDR file, work less you programming, this is the best place to start.

Make the 'independent' video tracks & create layers of adjustment via keyboard shortcut

1 V3 is always my adjustment layer track. However sometimes when editing from my V1 and V2, tracks, V3 case because I have insert clips between them. Is it possible to make V3 "track soloist by default"? that is unresponsive to any changes I make on other tracks.
Using LOCK may apply in this scenario, but not on the other. For example, I want an audio piece to always stick to the C0008 clip, but it should also moves accordingly when I insert another clip the Middle C0008.
2. create adjustment layers - it is a process in several steps:
a. create the layer
b. adjust the length of the clip
c. apply color and presets LUT
Is it possible for me to have a color pre applied / LUT preset on the layer with a length of say 3 minutes default? This will make my more productive editing.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Call OS commands via script

Is it possible to call commands from the BONE through the first script API?
Basically, I would like to run a python script in the first, but I don't see any way to call a command from the operating system.
After effects has the method system.callSystem, which might look like this:
cmd = "from sb_pipeline import folderStructure; print folderStructure().
Call the python script.
var s = system.callSystem ("python - c" + "" "+ cmd + '"');
alert (s);
/ Simon

Not by ExtendScript, but the body panels may send lines of command to the operating system.

Download files from the clouds of document via script or adobe sdk

I've studied a lot of things, but I couldn't find a way to automate the process in Adobe ms
1. Import the pdf file in Adobe software from the hard drive or url.
2. Transfer it to paper Cloud (CC) (optional)
3. Conversion from pdf to Word and save those in DC (optionally)
4. ability to download these DC word files never need.
I'm basically looking for a form of script (script action-js/php, python, javascript, adobe) with Adobe SDK API that will allow me to do.
I have a need to convert pdf into other forms and it is currently quite heavy, because I have to perform all of these tasks manually.
I am currently a user of Acrobat DC subscription. Any help is greatly appreciated.

SERVER SOLUTION:

Acrobat is not for the server.

The Acrobat SDK kit requires Acrobat.

If your task can be done with Acrobat.

I think what you want is PDF to Word conversion server-side. The Adobe product for this is (despite its name) Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator. Note the name in full, and not just call LiveCycle, because it's a suite of different things.

OFFICE SOLUTION:

You can use the Acrobat Acrobat SDK to convert PDF files to Word as requires it. There is no API to be stored in the cloud, but of course you can record them and deliver the necessary copies. Acrobat SDK required; not the most obvious of the API but you would combine OLE and Acrobat JavaScript.

define an id scsi for a disc newly added for virtual machines via script

Hi Experts,

I used the script below to add disks to several virtual machines
http://blog.mattvogt.NET/2013/03/14/PowerCLI-mass-add-hard-disks/

But currently our requirement for change as if we must add 3 2 GB drives, the disks must the controller use SCSI (1:0) - (1:2)

And next bunch of disks, for example, should use use SCSI (2:0) - (2:2).

Y at - it an option to set the SCSI ID when adding new disks.
Please let me know if there is nothing we can achieve through scripts.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

Try this new version, it works for me in my test environment
