Scripts that interact with other applications like Excel

Hi all

He is the Illustrator CS6 Scripting Guide.

"A script is a series of commands that tells Illustrator to perform one or more tasks. These tasks can be

simple, affecting a single object in the document active, or complex, touching objects in all your

Illustrator documents. Tasks may involve even other applications, such as word processors, spreadsheets,

'and the databases management programs'.

I tried to find a starting point to find a way to do it, but I found no examples online. Is their any resources out there that someone knows? One of the things I am doing, for example, is to copy a specific column of an excel document and paste it in illustrator. Thanks in advance!

agree with the foregoing, there are different ways to solve a particular need... If you want to explore live back and forth communication between Excel and Illustrator on Windows, here is a quick start guide

  • share photos with other applications

    Using LR Mobile on a new iPad 2 Air, I want to open (jpg) images in other applications like Waterlogue. Or even be able to save it to the photo album.  However, I see not a save option in the share, and when I say "open in" LR Waterlogue, dates back to the page of image thumbnails.  What I am doing wrong?

    Hi Jilimburg

    When you click an image in lightrom mobile you can see 'action icon' at the top right.

    If you click on this icon there is a menu on which you can choose to "share". Do not click the wheel or that asks if you want to share metadata.

    In the menu that appears now, you can choose what you want to do. You can 'save' the image and then find yourself in the photos app.

    I hope that helps you.

  • Webcam of conflict with other applications

    Is it possible for low-COST airlines to check a webcam with other applications conflict and to display a message to the user?

    I see a problem with users often enough where they only see the top bar of the webcam in their webcam pod. I think this happens when they used another (probably Skype) application and this application has failed to properly release the webcam.

    I can reproduce this 100% of the time with the webcam application example if I open yahoo messenger and click on Messenger / My Webcam.

    If I start the webcam sample application then I see the top bar of the Subscriber of the webcam to my own camera (see picture).

    Is it possible to:

    (a) detects if the webcam is available before publishing? or

    (b) take control of the camera to the other application that has not published by force?

    Hi Barry,.

    Although there is no solution, we hack or workaround for this problem.

    This test code and check whether it meets your needs. So I put the flag is not for display userDisplay bar and its displayed when we receive a stream. I also instantiate a timer and see if the camera is busy. If its busy then the method detects and you may have to handle.

    I guess also multiplexing a single webcam IE is not possible to share a webcam between applications.

    Hi Birol,

    Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help you with this problem.

    As described in the question, you want to know why you need a Microsoft Account to use Skype and other applications. You want to close your Microsoft Account.

    I wish to inform you that you need a Microsoft Account to make purchases from the store Windows. Your Microsoft account is the combination of an email address and a password that you can also use to connect to services such as Hotmail, Messenger, SkyDrive, Windows Phone, Xbox LIVE and Outlook.com.

    You can connect to Skype using Skype or Microsoft Account account. It is not mandatory to have a Microsoft Account to access Skype. Download the desktop version of Skype App and use the Skye account to access.

    You can connect to Windows 8 by using the Local account Microsoft account. If you connect to Windows 8 using local accounts you cannot access some of the features of Windows 8.

    Apart from this, there are a lot of Apps through which you can be in contact with other people. You need Microsoft Account to access the apps like Messenger, calendar, people App or Windows store.

    I would ask write you to with the description of the problem you're having with Windows 8, so that we can help you to solve. If you want to close your Microsoft Account you can see the link here.

    Note: If you have a Hotmail Plus, Xbox Live or another subscription, cancel this subscription before you close your Microsoft account. If you manage on behalf of Microsoft for the child, the child Microsoft account permissions will be revoked if you close your Microsoft account.

  • Photoshop script that records with different active layers?

    Greetings. Long time user of Photoshop... but looking for a way to streamline some workflows. I regularly jobs where I need to create variations of what I am working on. To do this, I have basic layers that are common to all the images of finals, can have a set of layers that have sections which vary on them. Now, I heard some Scripts that can be run in Photoshop, so I was wondering if there is a way to have such a script all variants, evolution which layers "variation" is visible, as it does. Thus, if the layers were piled up like:

    Overlay shared

    Variant 6

    Variant 5

    Variant 4

    Option 3

    Variant 2

    Option 1

    Shared content

    Shared base

    All shared layers would be visible, while the script would save the Variant 1 file with the Variant 1 layer visible also... Variant 2 with Variant 2 visible (and Variant 1 tilt turn back), etc. Such a thing is possible in Photoshop with the script? And if so... How capable is he? If the file format was more like:

    Overlay shared

    Level 2 option 3

    Level 2 option 2

    Level 2 option 1

    Variation of 1 level 3

    Level 1 Variant 2

    Variation of 1 level 1

    Shared content

    Shared base

    When I needed to save the files where the script activated level 1 Variant 1, then saved on each of the 3 files with the level 2 variants (file1 would have level 1 Variant 1 + level 2 option 1 active, then File2 should have level 1 Variant 1 + level 2 option 2 active... etc)... is it possible?

    Not necessarily need someone to provide a script, I'm pretty happy to jump in and learn, if I get an indication that I wouldn't just spinning my wheels on something that is not possible. Thank you, in advance, for all the answers.

    Yes, this would be possible. If the files have different numbers of layers, which would make it more difficult, because you'd have to this script so that the script know which layers to enable or disable. It would be just a matter of creating a 'loop' and going through the layers. It would be worth something even in the name of the layer that would leave the script to know which layer must stay all the time.

  • Copy-paste to other applications (like 2004 PPT) in broken CS5? -OS 10.6.3

    Hello

    New Mac to avoid issues went to the new Leopard snow after Photoshop CS5. Oops.

    Copy-paste from other Apps in CS5
    Paste images/pictures in Powerpoint 2004 for CS5, I knew the exact problem posted a little off-topic by james norrington in the thread "CS5 doesn't let me copy and paste file names."  He did not and is quoted here:

    -"I use Photoshop CS5 and Office 2004 on 10.6.3. I was using 10.4 until a few weeks ago and it worked and still work with other Macs in the office using CS4. I can copy and paste from powerpoint, but it divides images into two and don't know what is the resolution of the image. Also when I go from photoshop to powerpoint the resolution of the image is also not retained. » ---

    In addition, I found also copy - paste of a photo.jpg digital camera Preview for CS5 does not respect the resolution either. Directly open the photo in PS CS5, fine.

    PS earlier, was still able to copy any image to the Clipboard, have a dialog box new document come pre-filled with correct original LxH pixels native resolution, color mode, etc and just paste in the new document - perfect fit (even the eccentric ppi PPT 576). Now a passage and cut.  Don't have not PPT 2008 to test paste them from there.

    I also found a similar picture but less serious cut happens when copying and pasting of PPT-> preview, or -> TextEdit, or-> drag and drop photo clipping.

    Open the Image file in CS5
    Even an original file tiff 300 dpi went to 72 dpi when opened directly into CS5 etc. Convert the file to the jpeg preview - this jpeg file format can be opened in CS5 correctly, converted the jpeg to TIFF in preview, always open OK (not counting the loss of image quality). Still could not copy paste every document in CS5 correctly. A difference that I noticed in the converted files was more information available in the information on Preview file. Perhaps, that makes the difference by opening the file correctly.

    I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

    Photoshop CS5 uses the Cocoa API for the paper, which are very different from the old APIs of carbon.

    In addition, the Cocoa API as convert formats (sometimes wrongly) and have different assumption of transparency than the old APIs.

    Yes, we have found several applications where Clipboard support did not work properly and notified Apple so they could fix the cocoa of the Clipboard functions.

    (Note that Office is still carbon, and probably wrote PICT in the Clipboard, that cocoa tries to translate in TIFF format)

    Regarding the file TIFF - can send you one of these files to ccox at adobe (dot) com?

    I'll take a look at metadata and see why the resolution is not be read correctly.

  • Open a PDF file that comes with the application

    I need to be able to include a handful of pdf with my application that can open the app, or Adobe call. Where should I store these PDF files in my project to be able to access it through adobe? I have to copy the files to the directory shared first? I don't want to do, but if I do, where to keep these PDF files at the start in my project structure to be able to find them in my code?

    You should be able to include them in the public / directory instead of native /, which will make them visible outside your application.

    To do this, when you specify a entry, you can include the public attribute = 'true' and need that to happen.

    Hello

    Method 1) check the instructions in the link for Windows 7

    When you run an .exe on a Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer file, the file can start another program

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950505

    Method 2) in case if it does not help, you must change the associated file. To change the file association for a specific file, you must first display the properties of the file.

    1. You can view the properties of a file by selecting the file and choosing 'Properties' in the file menu. Or you can simply right-click on the file and select "Properties" from the context menu that appears.
    1. To change this file association, click the button change.
    1. You are given a list of recommended programs to open the file, as well as several other programs on your computer. The recommended programs are programs that Windows knows is going to be able to open the current file type. For this reason, choose a program from the list of recommended programs is a good idea. You can choose a program from the list of other programs, but the file cannot open.
    1. You can change this program opens all documents of a certain type of file, and then click the checkbox "Always use the selected program to open this type of file."

  • How to save a PDF georeferenced with annotations and comments (for example text boxes) so that they will appear when opened with an application like Avenza?

    I am creating georeferenced PDF maps using a mapping program, I have no problem to open the PDF with Adobe Reader / Acrobat. I use Adobe Acrobat to add annotations and comments to the map in PDF format, and I can still not display the annotations and comments when I re - open the file with Adobe Reader / Acrobat. However, when I try to open the file on Avenza, overhead rates disappear. Anyone know how I can save annotations and comments so that they appear when you open the file with all the Apps? This is perhaps a question that arises for the specific application in question - Avenza. Thanks for any input.

    3rd party software may or may not support what Acrobat Reader on mobile devices. If the content does not appear, then your not likely Adobe software does not support this content. For example, many PDF viewers accept the forms. However, it is a question, you should ask your provider of software 3rd party.

  • Interact with the Application in backup and restore?

    I use a persistent storage to save data in my application.  I would like to be able to retain these data for the upgrades of the device.  Suite How To - backup and restore of small amounts of data using SyncItem, I added another point of entry to my request and created a class that extends SyncItem.  I can now properly save and restore my data with Desktop Manager.

    At the start, my request has copy data storage persistent local data structures.  While it is running, it only reads and writes on these local structures.  At the exit, he empty local data in persistent storage.  For this reason, if my application is running during a restore, will overwrite the data in persistent storage, but my application continues to run with the obsolete data.  Ideally, I would like to say my request to re-read a persistent storage.  Can I call methods in my application?  In setSyncData, I tried to use UiApplication.getUiApplication () to get a reference to my application, but it throws a ClassCastException.  Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    UiApplication.getUiApplication () returns the application to the foreground, which can only be your app.  Instead, you can store a reference to your application in the RuntimeStore while it is running.  The restore process could then access the RuntimeStore object and call methods in your application to know that he has read the new, refreshed from the PersistentStore data.

    The RuntimeStore works in a way similar to the PersistentStore, with the exception that RuntimeStore data are not permanent (it is lost when the device is reset).

    Another approach is to alert the application using a GlobalEvent.
