Embedded Graphics within an AI file

Using CS4 on a mac. I trying to find out if there is a way (in Illustrator) to determine the resolution of a graphic once it has been embedded.

Edit: One bug is the Type field. The type will always be the same as Document Color Mode (File menu). In the above example I am using a RGB jpeg.

  • Embedding fonts within a postscript file

    Hi all, I want to know the best way to embed specific fonts within a postscript file. More specifically, I have several postscript procedures that will draw shapes, graphs, and make labels based on the user's input. Right now the font is hard-coded, and it works on my machine, but I want to actually embed some other fonts within the postscript so that no matter where the program is running, the fonts will work when the user prints the file.
    Thanks!

    Amplifing on what Test Screen Name posted.
    --| Use a Distiller Job Option that embeds fonts.
    --| Use Acrobat Pro's (starting with 9.x) Preflight that embeds fonts (if they are present and installed on the local machine).
    --| Untick "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" in the Adobe PDF Document Properties dialog.
    Be well...

  • I request capability to add either LINKED or embedded graphics to Muse (either AI or PSD files)

    I notice there is no way to place a linked PhotoShop (PSD) file in Muse.   In comparison, PhotoShop now has the capability of placing both embedded and/or linked files (including AI files) within PSD files.  I am request this feature in Muse as well.  Ultimately I would love to place either embedded or linke vector (AI) files in Muse, but the best I can do for now is place a PSD file which is linked to an AI file, into Muse.  I was hoping to be able to make changes to the original AI file which would automatically update the PSD file to which it is linked which in turn would update the PSD file placed onto my Muse page, but it did not work.  It does not appear to work because the placed PSD file (onto the Muse page) is embedded into the Muse page, and there no longer is any kind of link between the original PSD file and the version placed on the Muse page.  Help me Adobe, I can't believe what I am asking would be difficult to pull off, and you already offer this feature in PhotoShop.  The capability I am requesting would greatly enhance the power and elagance of the Muse program.  By the way, I believe Muse is a fantastic product, and just what I have been waiting for for the last several years.

    Yeah, I know that changing the mode results in different colors. I just switched back and forth to check out what's going on.
    For CMYK I'm using ECI profiles which are common in Europe and for RGB the normal Adobe RGB 1998 profile. The profiles are synced between all Creative Suite products. I tried sRGB and some of the default profiles which shipped with CS5 but it produces the same result. I also deleted my whole Illustrator profile but without success.
    My graphics card doesn't have any updates. But it would be very unlikely anyway that both drivers for both cards had the same issue. If it has something to do with my graphics cards it's more likely the switchable graphics in general.

  • When I forward an HTML email with embedded graphics to someone, it forwards it as plain text.. this is driving me batty.. how do I forward such mails INTACT??

    I have the latest Thunderbird installed on a new 64-bit Winblows Eight netbook.. fantastic program, but one problem is driving me absolutely batty, and after using the latest Thunderbird for weeks, I simply can't figure out how to fix it..
    I'm on a lot of mfr. and other kinds of mailing lists, like eBay watch list alerts, and so on.. these are not s p a m (although I get plenty of that.. who doesn't).. but lists I WANT to be on..
    Many such emails from those mailing lists are in HTML format with embedded graphics.. I'm not talking about graphic file attachments, but embedded graphics which are coming from the senders' servers, and appear AS a graphic in the email.. sometimes such emails are one huge graphic with hardly any text.. all well and good..
    However, here's the problem.. when I want to forward such an email to a friend, Thunderbird ALWAYS formats it as plain ASCII text.. I know this because I look in the "sent mail" folder, and can see that it has turned an HTML email with embedded graphics into plain ASCII text..
    I absolutely can't figure out how to get it to forward an HTML email with embedded graphics INTACT, so the sender receives it looking the way it looks when I receive it from a mailing list, or an advertiser, or eBay, or whoever..
    Is Thunderbird capable of forwarding an HTML email with embedded graphics INTACT?.. If so, how / where do I turn on that capability?..
    If the capability to do this isn't built into the program, is there an add-on I can install that will give it that ability?..
    I am not new to computers.. but this really has me stumped.. I want to put Thunderbird on my 32-bit Vista laptop and stop using its horrible "Windoze Mail" program, which I've been using for years, and is slower than snot, and has all kinds of other problems..
    So, assuming whoever reads this FULLY understands my question, PLEASE tell me how to get Thunderbird to have the ability to forward an HTML email with embedded graphics AS-IS, so the receiver(s) I forward it to see it exactly the way I see it when I receive it.. if that ability is built in, please tell me how to turn it on.. if that ability is not built-in, please tell me what add-on I need to install to give Thunderbird this capability.. if Thunderbird absolutely can't forward an HTML email with embedded graphics at all, please also tell me that..
    A virtual box of candy and a dozen long-stemmed roses to anyone who can give me a solution that works..
    Thanks..

    Dear Mr. Toad (my all-time favorite ride at Disneyland ;-) ..
    Thanks so much for your detailed reply.. my netbook is in the bedroom, turned off.. I (so far) only use it in the evening, in the bedroom.. I've saved your response, and will try your suggestions, and let you know if they solve the problem I described. I really appreciate you taking the time to post such a detailed reply..
    I can't answer your Thunderbird "configuration" questions, because I'm in the living room, using the crap Vista laptop, on which I plan to install Thunderbird, and then take Windoze Mail out in the street and drive over it a few times.. I'll get back to you one way or the other, and let you know if your instructions solved the problem, or not..
    I don't understand why Thunderbird "out of the box", so to speak, simply doesn't forward HTML emails with embedded graphics, (like Outlook Excess, and Winblows Mail do).. without having to go through those steps. I personally HATE HTML email, but over the years, it's become more and more prevelant.. so it's a problem I must fix..
    Thanks again..

  • Color of embedded graphic different in Adobe Reader 9?

    Hello,
    I have a cross-platform and cross-version issue that I am hoping that this is the right place to get get some insight on. I normally do most of my work on a Mac (OS X 10.5.4 PPC), and created a document in Microsoft Word 2008 (w/latest patches) that has one embedded graphic, a custom black horizontal line that I designed myself as a PNG with some alpha transparency. When I print the document to PDF, either using the built-in renderer or the Acrobat 8 PDF printer installed on the machine, I am able to open the resulting PDF in either Preview or Acrobat 8.1.2 on the same computer and it looks as expected.
    However, if I take it over to my PC running Vista SP1 (w/latest patches) and open up the PDF in Acrobat Reader 9.0, the color of the embedded graphic is different, a kind of orange-y brown which looks really horrible; it is as if the normally grayscale embedded image has been tinted. The text of the document remains black, it is only the embedded image that has had its color changed. If I open the Word document on the PC in Word 2007 (again, w/latest patches), however, the embedded graphic looks grayscale, as expected.
    I have tried a few things such as specifying the image format as grayscale within Word 2008 before printing to PDF, converting the PNG into GIF with Photoshop CS3 on the Mac (which shows it as grayscale) and re-embedding it and printing to PDF/X instead of PDF, but none of these seem to make any difference.
    Unfortunately I don't have access to Acrobat Pro 9.0 for the Mac or Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 for the PC so I cannot tell if it's the switch between platforms or between versions that lies behind the issue, but does anybody have any ideas on how to make it look the same across platforms?
    Thanks,
    A

    There's not really anything you can do with just Reader. The creator of the form set it up to behave this way, by intention or not. It could have been set up so that a user is unable to enter more text than can be displayed in the area defined for the field, and that the font size would automatically decrease as the limit is reached, down to a minimum size of 4. If you know who created the form, you may be able to request a new version.

  • Printing a PDF document within a postscript file

    I know it is possible to print a PDF document from within a postscript file using Document Structuring Comments and Document Comment Extensions.  Is is possible to print a single page PDF document multiple times as a booklet?  For example I have a PDF document that is a page of graph paper.  I want to print this PDF file 8 times in the form of a booklet.  Is this possible and if it is how would I code the postscript to do this?
    Thank you  in advance
    David

    Where do you know that “it is possible to print a PDF document from withint a PostScript file using Document Structuring Comments and Document Comment Extensions” from?
    PDF is absolutely not part of the PostScript language itself. Nor is there anything in the DSC specifications that provides for printing a PDF document from within a PostScript file.
    Attached to this posting are the two existing pieces of documentation of DSC from Adobe. Neither references such a capability.
    DSC are simply “comments” within a PostScript program file which may be used by preprocessing software or external applications for various puposes, especially associated with prepress actions and placing of EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) in other graphic arts documents.
    Conceivably some implementor of some PostScript product may have provided some capability to embed a PDF file or to invoke the printing of a PDF file from within a PostScript file using custom DSC. However, this is certainly not part of the official PostScript language. I have also attached those specifications as well!

  • Referencing images within a .js file

    Hello,
    I have a DHTML menu I want to use in my Html DB application -- and it uses a graphic. I have uploaded the static .js file as well as the image to the repository. But the image is not showing up (it is referenced within the .js file). Do you use the same reference WITHIN a .js file as within the html? Here is an example snippet from the .js code:
    pagebgcolor="#82B6D7";
    pagecolor="black";
    separatorcolor="#2D729D";
    separatorsize=1;
    ------------------------------>>>>subimage="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#arrow.gif";
    subimagepadding=2;
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Just for reference, I'd imagine you can't use #VARIABLE# substitutions within javascript files.
    Since HTMLDB probably does keyword replacement as it reads the information to render a page, and since your javascript file is in it's own file and not output by HTMLDB, I'd imagine it would have no connection to HTMLDB's keyword substitution rendering the use of #NAME# replacement useless.
    Again the above only holds weight if the javascript is in it's own file. If you're placing the javascript in a field in HTMLDB somewhere I'd imagine that at some point HTMLDB would make the substitution.

  • Embedded Graphics do not show in Links Panel?

    I'm guessing this is an embedded graphic. I received a packaged file for print, all is fine, but I'm pondering the "image" shown. (I was curious how they formatted the rules and type and started selecting)
    After removing everything else from the document, Find Font show no fonts used; the links panel is empty; info for the frame lists nothing; it is not outlined type. One layer; show hidden characters is on.
    The file package report lists Links and Images: 1 link (a stock photo used on page 1), 0 missing, 0 embedded.

    I've been playing with building my own "Info" panel. It isn't as pretty as the built-in one, but it gives me better "raw" file format information in some cases. It would be interesting to see what it reports as the object type, if you want to send me your doc ...

  • Linking Questions cs5: Linking within the Same file, Sharing links, file size bloat

    I have to make print cards for my job. Print cards being a 1 page version of the Larger package layout that the place I work manufactures. On this print card is a section for customer info on top, and the print representation on the bottom. What I've been doing is using two files. The first file is the full-scale art on one artboard, and the customer info on the second artboard, but both within one file.
      On the second file, I combine the two. I still use two artboard because it's a front and back print-off. The front page (1st art board, 2nd file), is the customer info at the top (linked from the 2 art board, 1st file) and the full art shrunk to fit below (also linked).  the back page (2nd art board, 2nd file) is the individual elements of the artwork, zoomed in for easier viewing. For the second page, I use masked links from the fullsize art, sized appropriately. The reason it's important that they all use links, is so if I update the art, it will update the print cards as well.
      I've been trying to stream-line this process. This works ok, but the numerous links bloat the file size, and I have to email these to customers. I've started using "Flatten Transparency" on all my Print cards (2nd file) and saving it as a separate .pdf. This cuts out the links, but then all of my masked images are hiding the whole original file behind their mask. So then I started manually cropping each individual masked area, which helps, but once I've gone through this whole process, I don't think I've saved any of the time my template was supposed to save.
    file://localhost/Users/troubleinthemaking/Desktop/PRINT%20MINI%20EXAMPLE.pdf
      My questions are these:
    Is there any way to link to elements within the same file? Like from a different artboard?
      I've successfully 'Placed' an artboard from the same file, back into that file (but a different artboard), but this creates a never-ending Save/Update loop. I'd like a better way to do this.
    Is there a way to have all instances of a linked file, draw from the same place? i.e. When you update a single link, all instances of that Link would update. plus this would, in theory, cut down on the file size.
    Is there any way to automatically have every masked link crop itself after using the flatten transparency command?
      Even if I had to select them first. I haven't had any luck selecting them all and then using the pathfinder crop tool. I've had to do each one individually.
    I know this last one can't really be answered without seeing everything on my machine. I don't even know what info I'd need to give...
    WHY MY FILE SIZE SO BIG!
    Thanks ahead of time.
    -Jefferson

    Jefferson:
    There's a few things you can do to make your files smaller, such as using the Action "Delete All Unused Panel Items" which will removed all unused Symbols, Graphic Styles, Brushes and Swatches from your Illustrator files. Those little items add up to bloating a file.
    You also need to examine the images that you place into your Illustrator file. Any unnecessary layers or channels? Can the files be flattened before being placed in Illustrator? You can always keep a "working" Photoshop file of all that extra goobledeegook and then flatten the file and do a "Save As" and place that in the Illustrator file. And that could be a Photoshop EPS saved with a TIFF Preview and JPEG Encoding (Maximum Quality), which will save some MBs.
    But, you should never sacrifice file size for quality. If these files are going to print, you should be using an FTP program to transfer the files and not email them. Email should not be used for files over 5 MB. If all you want to do is send the customer a Low Resolution PDF Proof for approval via Email, that's fine and dandy, but send the final large size files to the Printer via FTP.

  • Embedded vs. External video file?

    Started playing around with a Flash tutorial on video and saw two options to use a video clip with an SWF file.
    I wanted some clarification:
    Embedding the file creates a huge SWF, while having the file external allows for a smaller SWF, right?
    But in order to use the external file, you must use AS to call functions, right?
    External file allows for update to the file (externally) without having to republish, right? duh.
    One thing I noticed about embedding, I can scrub on th Timeline and see frame-by-frame of the video file.
    But, can't do that when it is loaded externally - it shows a box with an 'x', and can't see video 'til I publish.
    Scrubbing frame-by-frame is ideal for me because I sync certain elements within the SWF file with the video file.
    When loaded externally, can't do that. (I guess a workaround would be to use the video file externally, but also embed it on a layer I can later delete, that way I have the frame-by-frame ability.
    Now, AS2 or AS3 for video playback? My tutorial is AS2, and was done in MX 2004, I am using CS4 - does that matter for AS?
    Thanks. Isn't this fun?

    Pretty much all of your conclusions are correct, except if you want to synchronize the video with the timeline, your best bet is to embed the file.  It's not likely that what you edit based on an embedded version that you later delete will remain synched as intended with a file being dynamically loaded/played in its place.

  • Embedded Form within a Task Definition

    Why would I ever want to use an embedded form within a task definition instead of calling a manual action within my workflow?
    What are the advantages/disadvantages?

    You may not be able to. In order for a font to be used with a form field, it has to allow at least editable embedding. Some fonts don't and Acrobat honors any restrictions that are specified in the font file.
    For more information, see: http://www.adobe.com/products/type/font-licensing/font-embedding-permissions.html

  • Extracting embedded graphics

    I've inherited a bunch of FrameMaker files where all the graphics were embedded in the document rather than imported by reference. When I right click on a graphic and select Object Properties, of course it says, "Referenced File: No File."
    Is there any way I can do some sort of global redirect to have them all go to a graphics folder to reference the graphic rather than embedding them? Or am I just hosed?
    Since I don't know the file names, I'd have to hunt through the gazillion graphics folders until I found the right graphics to re-import (by reference, of course) -- in a 300 page document! GAH!
    Here's what I've tried: running a List Of...References, a List of Figures, Bruce Foster's Archive, swearing at the previous people who did this (and who aren't here anymore) -- all to no avail!
    Any help and/or advice (other than "turn around and run as fast as you can...") would be greatly appreciated.

  • How do I change EMBEDDED graphics to LINKED?

    I have a number of embedded graphics in my document. It appears that to change them with XML, they need to be LINKED instead. I've looked everywhere, and I can't find a way to do that. The Help says you can convert from one to the other through the Links panel, but I don't see anything.

    Thanks, Larry. I don't see anything like that, but I found another way to do it.
    Also, for anyone else working with XML--it apparently is not necessary that the images to be replaced are linked. I was able to replace embedded images just fine once I got the syntax right.
    The correct syntax is:
    where "tagname" is the name of the tag assigned to the frame in InDesign, and "filespec" is the full path and filename of the image file.

  • [JS] CS4 How to position a graphic within a Frame

    I have a JS script that I am converting from CS3 to CS4 and I am finding that the behaviour for positioning a graphic within a frame has changed.  I have code that sets the geometric bounds of a graphic to a negitave value within the frame, within CS3 this works great.  However using the same code on CS4 to set the geometric bounds does not produce the same result.  The graphic is always placed at 0,0 and it ignores the negitive top and left values supplied.
    Does anyone know what has changed with the geometric bounds of a graphic within a recrangle frame?  How would I set the position of the graphic within the frame since setting the geometric bounds does not seem to work any longer.
    Thanks,
    Sheldon

    I have yet to determine why the behavior is different from CS3 to CS4 and how to correct the positioning within CS4.  To help explain the problem further I have included a sample script which demonstrates the problem.  I have run the script on both CS3 and CS4 and included screen shots of the results when the resulting INDD file is opened.  Could someone help explain why the position of the image is wrong in CS4 and what I can do to correct the problem?
    Here is the sample script ...
    for(i=app.documents.count()-1;i>=0;i--){app.documents.item(i).close();}
    app.textPreferences.useOpticalSize = false;
    app.textPreferences.typographersQuotes = false;
    app.textImportPreferences.useTypographersQuotes = false;
    app.taggedTextImportPreferences.useTypographersQuotes = false;
    app.pasteboardPreferences.minimumSpaceAboveAndBelow = "300p";
    app.textFramePreferences.firstBaselineOffset = FirstBaseline.ascentOffset;
    app.colorSettings.cmsSettingsPath = File("C:\\etc\\Friesens_Yearbook_Custom_Color_Settings.csf");
    app.marginPreferences.top = '24pt';
    app.marginPreferences.bottom = '48pt';
    app.marginPreferences.left = '36pt';
    app.marginPreferences.right = '36pt';
    var doc = app.documents.add();
    doc.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;
    doc.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.points;
    doc.documentPreferences.pageHeight = 792;
    doc.documentPreferences.pageWidth = 612;
    doc.documentPreferences.pageOrientation = PageOrientation.portrait;
    doc.documentPreferences.pagesPerDocument = 2;
    doc.documentPreferences.facingPages = true;
    doc.sections.firstItem().continueNumbering = false;
    doc.sections.firstItem().pageNumberStart = 2;
    var pg = doc.pages.item(0);
    var frm = pg.rectangles.add();
    frm.geometricBounds = ['200.5pt','200.2pt','447.8551pt','415.5206pt'];
    try{frm.place (File('c:\\test.jpg'), false);}catch(err){};
    if(frm.graphics.count() > 0) {frm.graphics.firstItem().geometricBounds = [frm.geometricBounds[0]-147, frm.geometricBounds[1]-49, 407.04+frm.geometricBounds[0]-147, 271.68+frm.geometricBounds[1]-49];};
    var objStyle = doc.objectStyles.add();
    objStyle.enableStroke= false;
    objStyle.transparencySettings.blendingSettings.opacity = 100;
    frm.applyObjectStyle(objStyle, true, true);
    frm.rotationAngle = 59;
    doc.label = '824203.indd';
    doc.packageForPrint('c:\\test\\824203\\', true, true, true, true, true, false, '', false, false);
    for(i=app.documents.count()-1;i>=0;i--){app.documents.item(i).close();}
    The line that I highlighted is the one that adjusts the images position within its frame.  It uses a formula to determine the exact position relative to the containing frames position.  This is why you will see the calculations to determine the geometric bounds.
    Here is the result of the script using InDesign Server CS3, notice the position of the image based on the 'Direct Selection Tool' highlight area (this is the desired result):
    And, here is the result after running the script against InDesign Server CS4:
    As you can see the Image is placed at the lot left corrner of the frame which is wrong.  Any insight into the diffrences in the behavior would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Find words within a text file

    Hey all.
    I am playing around with the idea of finding a line of text within a text file, by using scanner and some next methods.
    The way I am trying to get it to work is that one enters a string and the program then finds all the lines of text containing that
    user-entered string and then prints them.
    The text file in question contains names of University papers and their room numbers, quantity of students etc.
    Example:
    IBUS212     EALT006     1am     72     AL     LI     
    BMSC241     MCLT102     2     pm     8     AL     COOREY     
    My problem annoyingly enough seems to be that I can't think how one could compare the string entered to the lines of text being
    scanned in the text file.
    My latest go involved what you see in the code, scanning the examdata.txt file for a user-entered course number, using course.next();
    by going with the example above it would be IBUS212. The task was to then to find all of the lines containing that number and print them out using
    println (what I have tried with id and line) as well as the rest of that line eg: EALT006     1am     72     AL     LI .
       public void printCourse()
        try
            String details, input, id, line;
            int count;
            Scanner user = new Scanner(System.in);
            System.out.println();
            System.out.println();
            System.out.println("Please enter your course ID: ");
            input = user.nextLine();
            Scanner course = new Scanner(new File("examdata.txt"));
            course.next();
            course.nextLine();
            id = course.next();
            line = course.nextLine();
            if(input.equals(id))
                System.out.println("Your course times are: "  + id + "and" + line);
            else
              System.out.println("Your course does not exist."); 
            catch(IOException e)
                System.out.print("File failure");
      }Any advice/help/troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.

    You'll want [to loop while|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/while.html] the course Scanner has a next line and then print the line if it contains the entered text.
    For useful methods you can check the Javadoc of String and Scanner (use your browser search on keywords like 'next' or 'contains' to find them).
