• Setup error (Illustrator)

  Hello

  When I download and install Illustrator I get the error: "the download is broken, please cancel and try again later (-60)" (translated from German). I tried several times in the last 2 days. Also there is no journal of Illustrator files that I could watch. What can I do?

• Memory error Illustrator

  The following error occurs when connected to a domain account on a Windows XP workstation and open Illustrator... «the operation cannot complete because there is not enough memory (RAM live) available.»  I can open illustrator CS2 as a Director or a local account.  It seems to stop at pdfsuite.aip.  If I answer ok it will continue to open but at the launch of a file the file is empty.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  The error indicates that you have a problem with your installation of Acrobat, and therefore shared libraries of PDF (the plug-in is only as a remote connector to some of these libraries). Maybe it I screwed up with the 9.0.2 last security patch? Therefore, you must check and reinstall Acrobat in repair mode. This can help. If it isn't, of course to reinstall... It is quite possible, the update caused a problem of compatibility of version and reinstall the 'old' files that come with CS2 will fix it...

• Y at - it a good script to collect all the layers in 1 layer?

  I am doing something similar to the selection of layers and using collection based on new layer in Illustrator. It runs successfully on several layers, but for others it will expel just ' mistake Illustrator: 1346458189 ("PARM").

  My script is really simple and I use it to collect layers into a layer named "Earned", if it has more than 2 layers. I even tried the fix suggested in this Readme: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/pdf/illustrator/scripting/Readme.tx t. But I get an error just when you reference a running level. I tried directly referring to the current in the loop layer, but it always causes problems. If I get rid of the line of movement (which is the whole reason for this script), it works fine. I tried to let the script sleep and a few other things, but cannot make it work properly. I've included some debugging lines who write in the console to make sure that everything is properly defined

  var = app.activeDocument actDoc

  var layerCount = actDoc.layers.length;

  $.write("\n//layer Name\nLayer Count:" + layerCount + "\n///").

  var placeInLayer = actDoc.layers ['Collected ""];

  If (layerCount > 0) {}

  for (i = 0; i < layerCount; i ++) {}

  try {var topLayers = actDoc.layers [i] ;}

  catch("|)    "+e) {

  $.write (e)

  }

  .write $("\nLayer name:"+ topLayers.name+"|)    Count: "+ i +" ")".

  Sublayers = topLayers.layers;

  If (topLayers.name == "Collected") continue;

  topLayers.move (placeInLayer, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);

  }

  }

  Try a loop back... from the bottom layer.

• How to duplicate the artboard and move it over the original?

  Basically, I have a document open and want to duplicate its work plan and then move it to a new location (the X axis, the original 50pixels). Doesn't seem too hard, but I can't understand it. This is for CS5.

  var app.activeDocument = docRef;

  var abSrc = docRef.artboards [0];

  var abSrcX = abSrc.artboardRect [0];

  var abSrcY = abSrc.artboardRect [1];

  var abSrcW = abSrc.artboardRect [2];

  var abSrcH = abSrc.artboardRect [3];

  abSrcX = abSrcX + 1221;

  var abSrcRect = [abSrcY, abSrcW, abSrcX, abSrcH];

  dupAB var = docRef.artboards.add (abSrcRect);

  The above works a bit. Original work plan is 17 "x 11" (1224px x 792px) and when I put abSrcX to the foregoing 1221, extendscript throws an error PARM. During one of my sessions of trials and errors, I decided to see what was the document geometricBounds:

  $.writeln (docRef.geometricBounds); = 45-12, 1221.154296875,-780

  So now, I see a bit where I can't go more than 1221, but why can't I?

  I moved the artboard for everything at the top left of the document and I got the geometricBounds again and they were - 6754.5,7038.5,-6463.5, 6736.5, but still can not abSrcX anything about 1221.

  the error is "error Illustrator: 1246458189 ("PARM").

  I tried to understand this is what courses I can think, but nothings working. Any input or help would be GREATLY appreciated!

  EDIT:

  So I tried this for the hell of it:

  var abSrcX = 0;

  var abSrcY = 1224;

  var abSrcW = 1224;

  var abSrcH = 792; (for some reason any 792 translates into 6 "inside the Illustrator, so I put this 432 to make 11")

  var abSrcRect = [abSrcY, abSrcW, abSrcX, abSrcH];

  dupAB var = docRef.artboards.add (abSrcRect);

  and it adds a new work plan and move to X, Y, such that designated. Not exactly what I want, but narrowing down the issue.

  I'm trying

  var abSrcX = 1224;

  var abSrcY = 0;

  var abSrcW = 1224;

  var abSrcH = 792;

  var abSrcRect = [abSrcY, abSrcW, abSrcX, abSrcH];

  dupAB var = docRef.artboards.add (abSrcRect);

  and he throws that error PARM still once, then now there is really no sense!

  Edit2: I changed abSrcY to 10000 and now the height of the artboard is really long, which is insane even more... I don't have the (x, y, width, height) artboardRect down wrong?

  Edit3: If after one more google search, I found out what the problem is. artboardRect is HIGH, LOW, LEFT, RIGHT; and when I do:

  var abSrcX = 1368;

  var abSrcY = 0;

  var abSrcW = 2592;

  var abSrcH = - 792;

  var abSrcRect = [abSrcY, abSrcW, abSrcX, abSrcH];

  top down right and left;

  dupAB var = docRef.artboards.add (abSrcRect);

  This works. BUT I have no idea what the numbers are in relationship with. The center of the artboard? The document Centre? And if I run it again and change... oh dear.

  I think that I just thought of it.

  abSrcX is on the LEFT;

  abSrcY is HIGH;

  abSrcW is RIGHT;

  abSrcH is DOWN;

  Considering that if I add (1224 + 144) to abSrcX and abSrxW, it creates another work plan 2 "away from the previous 17" x 11 ". If I want to run again, I just have to add (1224 + 144) abSrcX and abSrxW again. Now to find a way to do it dynamically on the fly.

  I still like to hear comments on the question of whether this is good or bad, and how I can improve!

  @clrx01,.

  Why do you work with width and height work plan?

  IMHO you need what only once.

• How to apply the upload of a file that does not create an error in edit mode?

  Hello

  It seems rather simple, but maybe I'm missing something (hoping that I'm not)!

  We use the Apex 5.0.1, but I believe that this is the case for other versions as well. At least that which was already identified and fixed in the latest patch.

  Here's the scenario:

  1. we have a table EMP where we maintain details about employees.

  2. we have an EMP_FILES table where we maintain one or more document (s) of support for each employee.

  3 page P1 displays the details of the PMCS with an IR showing the list of documents associated with this employee. This page also has a button called "New Document" when you click on it, takes users to P2 where they can upload a new document. The IR has an 'Edit link ' who also takes users to P2 where they can modify the file information (such as comments, date expiration etc.) or replace an already the document with a new document.

  4. we need to force users to download a document, when they save it in P2, then the easiest option was to highlight ' required ' 'Yes' as shown below:

  

  5. This works very well for a 'New' file upload / insert features.

  6. when users click on edit link to access the P2 and if they do not want to replace an existing document with a new document, but want to update the rest of the file info (like comments, expiration date etc.), it throws errors illustrated below:

  

  7. to address this problem, we put 'Value required' on 'No' and check the length of the BLOB in DB trigger BEFORE INSERT or UPDATE, as shown below:

  CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER BEFORE INSERT or UPDATE ON Biu_files files FOR EACH ROW

  DECLARE

  BEGIN

  IF NVL () DBMS_LOB.getlength () : NEW.fle_contents ( ), 0 ) < = 0 THEN

  RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR () -20000, 'Please make sure to download a file not empty'. );

  END IF;

  IF THE INSERTION

  IF : NEW.fle_id IS NULL THEN

  SELECT fle_id. NEXTVAL IN : NEW.fle_id FROM dual;

  END IF;

  ((: NEW.fle_created_by: = APEX_CUSTOM_AUTH.get_user ( ) to REPLACE NVL( ) , "person", USER (), USER ();

  : NEW.fle_created_dt: = SYSDATE;

  ELSIF UPDATE THEN

  ((: NEW.fle_modified_by: = APEX_CUSTOM_AUTH.get_user ( ) to REPLACE NVL( ) , "person", USER (), USER ();

  : NEW.fle_modified_dt: = SYSDATE;

  END IF;

  END;

  /

  SHOW the ERRORS;

  8. If I understand correctly, the file upload in the APEX is nothing other than an action of 'INSERT + UPDATE' in the same folder. For example when we upload the fresh file, it creates a record with EMPTY blob and immediately update the record with the contents of the blob. Thus, regardless of whether or not users select a file, it would raise an error as mark is right at the top of the trigger code.

  9 ok, well move this piece of code at the top to UPDATE section because we want to allow the insert 1 to cross. But the problem is... Download the second part of the APEX file, which is updated would happen only if there is a selected file. If there is no file selected, ONLY the INSERT is pretty good. Thus, within the section of UPDATED trigger validation would never run for a fresh download.

  If someone has encountered this? I can't imagine that we are the 1st :-). Happy to provide / discuss it further. Thank you in advance!

  Create a validation of Non Null point about to file download pages and subordinate, for example the button CREATE is clicked and the PK null line item.

• JS - selection of the center of the artboard / New Document with some dimensions of the artboard

  TL; DR:

  How do I Center my current selection to the artboard?

  as well as hitting the "align horizontal center" and the «align vertical center» buttons

  Hello

  I searched for the last two hours and before my head hit the keyboard I wanted to ask for help.

  What I am struggling with:

  in my init function, I create a new document and then copy all the layers of the previous document step by step to the new document and then save it as SVG.

  Init

  (function() {}

  Destination = Folder.selectDialog ("selecting a folder for files SVG.', docPath");

  If (! destination) {return ;}

  holderDoc = app.documents.add ();

  stepThroughAndExportLayers (docRef.layers);

  }());

  My problem is that holderDoc = app.documents.add (); always creates a document that is not the same size as my original document where the layers are copied from.

  so, I want the same artboard size as in my original document.

  I am fine with the fact that fixed values or directly take the values of the initial RFSO.

  I tried this on the segment where I create the new document:

  Init

  (function() {}

  Destination = Folder.selectDialog ("selecting a folder for files SVG.', docPath");

  If (! destination) {return ;}

  holderDoc = app.documents.add ();

  holderDoc.artboards [0] .artboardRect = [0,0,128,128];

  stepThroughAndExportLayers (docRef.layers);

  }());

  and receive this error message:

  "Error 1200: Illustrator error: 1346458189 ("PARM").

  Online: 83

  -> holderDoc.artboards [0] .artboardRect = [0,0,128,128]; »

  what I read on the web means that illustrator does not know what to choose document. but I called him directly. so, what could be the problem?

  to clearify: I don't want to adapt to the artboard for the images/layer. the work plan must always be a certain size. (for me 128px by 128px)

  Thank you for helping me to each fixing of my approach highly or offer a completely new.

  Thank you very much in advance.

  Edit: workaround solution

  
  

  (function() {}

  Destination = Folder.selectDialog ("selecting a folder for files SVG.', docPath");

  If (! destination) {return ;}

  var activeArtboard = app.activeDocument.artboards [app.activeDocument.artboards.getActiveArtboardIndex ()];

  var ABRect = activeArtboard.artboardRect;

  holderDoc = app.documents.add ();

  holderDoc.artboards.add (ABRect);

  holderDoc.artboards.remove (0);

  holderDoc.artboards.setActiveArtboardIndex (0);

  stepThroughAndExportLayers (docRef.layers);

  }());

  now, I added a new work plan to the new document with the same size as the work plan on the original document.

  I have remove the work plan predefined on the new doc and the new work plan as active.

  BUT!

  now, the work plan is not centered in the window. Illustrator that allows to place my image with ctrl + c-> ctrl + v somewhere outside the artboard.

  Now I need to align my selection in the center of the artboard. but I can't find any reference on how to Center a selection to the artboard.

  I don't know if I understand you right.

  If you want to create a new document with a fixed width and height, you can do this:

  var doc = app.documents.add(DocumentColorSpace.RGB, new UnitValue ("128", "px"), new UnitValue ("128", "px"));
  

  If you want to only align your objects selected on the artboard, you can try this:

  Note that the result may be different, if the clipping masks are exist in the document.

  Please test it first on copies of your documents. Use it at your own risk.

• JavaScript to make the selection of top level group?

  Does anyone know how to select a group of high level by index?

  For example, I have a lot of files with deeply nested groups and I want to select all the illustrations as high-level groups and create a work plan around the visible boundaries of the group.

  I was able to loop through the groupItems from the document, but I can't seem to tell the difference between the higher level groups and subgroups. In other words, the loop works properly, but it is creating a plan to work around the Group of high level and then around each sub-group and each group within this subgroup.

  In the image as an attachment, you can see that there are 5 top-level groups in this document. However, everything else is essentially grouped within these groups. for example, the logo 'Earth' is about 100 + path grouped items. information on the collar are grouped several times in a complex hierarchy as well.

  The obvious solution is to decouple everything and then regroup every piece of shirt in 1 group. Unfortunately, that in itself is a lot more time than to manually create work plans and then the file is not very clean, if never go back inside to change/fix something.

  I guess a way to loop through the subgroups and ignore them if they are in the geometric limits of higher level? But I'm not really sure where to start on this code...

  This is the code that I currently have which creates around each groupItem, work plans, but also around each groupItem in the upper level... it up also a mistake because I think that illustrator can not cope to create work plans that fast? When I run the same script on less complicated work, it works fine.

  var docRef = app.activeDocument;
  var aB = docRef.artboards;
  var gI = docRef.groupItems;
  
  
  for (a = 0; a< gI.length; a++){
      var currentGroup = gI[a];
      currentGroup.selected = true;
      var vB = currentGroup.visibleBounds;
      aB.add(vB);//an Illustrator error occurred: 1346458189 ('MRAP')
  }   
  

  any ideas how to isolate this high-level group and ignore the rest? Thank you people.

  

  Instead of document.groupItems, try document.layers [0] .groupItems

• Create a symbol of placedItem/rasterItem does not work

  I need to create symbols in the Illustrator CC programmatically from files on disk. The following code gives an error when adding the symbol and I have no idea why. Any help will be appreciated. According to Adobe Illustrator CC Scripting reference, a symbol can be added to an art of the source of the type:

  • CompoundPathItems
  • GroupItems
  • MeshItems
  • NonNativeItems
  • PageItems
  • PathItems
  • RasterItems
  • SymbolItems
  • TextFrameItems

  Here is the code:

  #target illustrator

  activeDoc var = app.activeDocument;

  tempLayer var = activeDoc.layers.add (); Layer object reference

  var newSymbol; Object symbol reference

  var srcArt; PlacedItem object reference

  var fName; File name

  create list of documents from files in the selected folder

  var selectedFolder = Folder.selectDialog ("select the folder to import:', Folder('~')");

  imageList var = selectedFolder.getFiles ();

  for (var i = 0; i < 1; i ++) {}

  If (imageList [i] instanceof File) {}

  fName = imageList [i].name.toLowerCase ();

  If ((fName.indexOf ('.eps') ==-1) & & (fName.indexOf ('.png') ==-1)) {}

  continue; jump formats not supported

  }

  else {}

  srcArt = activeDoc.placedItems.add (); Place the image on the artboard

  srcArt.file = imageList [i];

  srcArt.embed ();

  activeDoc.symbols.add (srcArt);  -> Execution stops here with the message "error Illustrator: 556099904, ('% @i!')"

  newSymbol.name = fName.substring (0, fName.lastIndexOf("."));

  }

  }

  }

  srcArt is a "PlacedItem", he disappears after the pixelation, and a new 'RasterItem' object is created, you must get a reference to the newly created object and continue

  srcArt.embed();
  var embedded = activeDoc.rasterItems[0];
  activeDoc.symbols.add(embedded);
