How to Create PDF from Illustrator CS3 by using applescript?

Hi Guys,
Do some one knows how to create PDF from Illustrator CS3 by using apple script. If know, please give me the scripting.
HARI

Have you tried File>Scripts>SaveDocsAsPDF? There should be a folder of sample scripts installed in your AICS3 folder and a folder of documentation which contains an Illustrator AppleScript Reference which has examples.

  • Unexpected results, when creating a pdf from Illustrator (cs3)

    A customer has supplied a 'print ready' pdf, created in Illustrator [cs3]. The file contains grey text [20% black], but when they have printed to pdf [using acrobat 8], the breakdown of the 'grey' changes in colour to a cmyk value [45,36,35,1) instead of 0,0,0,20 as originally created in Illustrator.
    I've replicated the customers error from scratch, and have found that, when you save [save-as] the file as a pdf [using acrobat 8 settings] and resulting pdf is correct = 20% black.
    These errors where generated using a pc platform. We also tried to reproduce the error on our Mac's, but the Mac system didn't generate any issues.
    Does anyone know why illustrator would produce [using the same native file] two different results when producing pdf's? We've check all colour management, etc. and still can't figure out why this is happening.

    I have heard of this issue, but trying to remember is an issue by itself. lol. Seams to me there is an option for true blacks 0,0,0,? and cmy blacks ?,?,?,0. I am almost positive there are a few threads on this forum about this.

  • How to create PDF from text file with specific layout?

    I wanted to create the pdf from text file in specific layout - Landscape orientation and JIS B3 Page size while at Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    In past, I could do a right click on a text file (desktop area) and select print to print out the document into .pdf BUT only if I set the Adobe PDF to Landscape and JIS B3 Page size BEFORE.  And I could only do 15 text documents at once.
    I wanted to see if I could do the create the pdf from text file with specific layout in Adobe Acrobat without having to go to Control Panel to preset the Adobe PDF to specific layout at every time.   I would have to set Adobe PDF back to normal layout after I'm done with these pdf print outs.  I do lots of pdfs in normal layout.  Sometimes I would forget to do that.
    So, How do I do that?

    No such luck.  It would output the contents in letter size even in JIS B3 Page layout at MS word. 
    Is there a script or action where I could set the orientation and page size before creating PDF on these text files?

  • How to create PDF from Crystal Report instead of CRT

    Hi
    How can we view the reports as PDF within SAP Portal (instead of viewing crt-Files with BO-iView-template)?
    I know CRs as PDF from SAP NW IdM - reports are created as PDF there.
    We use CR 2008 SP2 with SAP_BW as datasource. We'd like to view the reports in SAP Portal.

  • How to create pdf from ssis

    hi
    just like we create flat file as a destination,
    i need pdf file , how to do it?

    but can i use spire.pdf in ssis?
    1st you need to find out if the licensing terms allow the intended use. I see it's a commercial offering. And I did not see it demoed converting from flat files, but I may be wrong.
    May be you will be 1st to try it out with SSIS if the above holds true. Try to reference it's DLL if it succeeds than most likely next you (or a team-member) will need some VB or C# skills to make it actually do the heavy lifting work.
    If you do, post here how you did it or reference a blog post, would be nice to know.

  • How to create pdf from word doc file

    HI
    I have a word doc file. (not docx). I have adobe 8 pro. I wrote a word script to create the file using the distiller. The fonts in the pdf file it makes look wacky. That script looks liek this:
    * create archive pdf file
    lfilename = "t:\cardeals\pdf\pdf_archive\" + PADL(alltrim(STR(month(date()))),2,"0") + PADL(alltrim(STR(DAY(DATE()))),2,"0") + SUBSTR(ALLTRIM(STR(YEAR(DATE()))),3,2) + "1.pdf"
    oWord = createOBJECT("Word.Application")
    oWord.DisplayAlerts = .f.
    oWord.documents.open('t:\cardeals\cardeals.doc')
    oword.ActivePrinter = "\\CSSSERVERONE\Overflow"
    oword.application.printout(,,,,,,,4,,,,,,,,,,,)
    oWord.PrintOut(.F.,.F.,,"c:\output.ps",,,,,,.F.)
    oPDF = CREATEOBJECT ( "PDFDistiller.PDFDistiller.1" )
    oPDF.FileToPDF("c:\output.ps", "&lfilename.", "High Quality" )
    oWord.application.quit
    release oword
    I also wrote a script to attempt to print it from the Adobe printer. It seems to work, but when I go to open the created pdf file it I get the following message:
    Acrobat could not open mypdf.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.
    The code was this:
      Set oWordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
        Set oDocument = CreateObject("Word.Document")
        oWordApp.Visible = True
        oWordApp.Application.WindowState = wdWindowStateMinimize
        Set oDocument = oWordApp.Documents.Open("t:\cardeals\cardeals.doc")
        strOutputPDFName = "c:\mypdf.pdf"
        holdprtrdefault = oWordApp.ActivePrinter
        oWordApp.ActivePrinter = "Adobe PDF"
        oWordApp.Application.PrintOut FileName:="t:\cardeals\cardeals.doc", _
            Copies:=1, _
            Range:=wdPrintAllDocument, _
            Item:=wdPrintDocumentContent, _
            Pages:="", _
            PageType:=wdPrintAllPages, _
            Collate:=True, _
            Background:=False, _
            PrinttoFile:=False, _
            OutputFileName:=strOutputPDFName
    If I clkick on the PDFMaker icon iside word, the resultant file is BEAUTIFUL. Can I automate this from within word? If not, does PDFMaker have a command line utility that I could put in a batch file?

    I don't have an answer, but you might get a better response in the scripting forum.

  • How to creat pdf from microsoft word

    How do I edit pdf files

    You don't.  Thats why they are saved as .pdf files to prevent changes.
    You can create PDF files form Word on windows, by printing to a PDF Virtual Printer (you can google this).
    You can create PDF files on a Mac by selecting Print, then clicking PDF on the print screen.
    You can create PDFs on an iOS device with a third party app like 'PDF Printer for iPhone'

  • White Lines on Live Traced Artwork in PDF from Illustrator CS3

    Hi,<br /><br />I've recently been using the Live Trace feature in Adobe Illustrator CS3 on my artwork so that my artwork becomes a vector image instead of a raster (I'm told it's better for Web because it works better with varying resolutions - doesn't become pixelated).  For my live trace, I use a custom preset:<br /><br />ADJUSTMENTS-<br />Mode: Color<br />Threshold: 128 (grayed out)<br />Palette: Automatic<br />Max Colors: 256<br />Output to Swatches: OFF<br />Blur: 0 px<br />Resample: 600 px<br />Fills: ON <grayed out><br />Strokes: OFF (grayed out)<br /><br />TRACE SETTINGS-<br />Max Stroke Weight: 10 px (grayed out)<br />Min Stroke Length: 20 px (grayed out)<br />Path Fitting: 1 px<br />Minimum Area: 1 px<br />Corner Angle: 1<br />Ignore White: OFF<br /><br />VIEW-<br />Raster: No Image<br />Vector Tracing Result<br /><br />The preview info, located under the dialogue bubble with the i states:<br />Paths: 4894<br />Anchors: (no number)<br />Colors: 148<br />Areas: 4822<br />Image PPI: 200<br /><br />I don't know if that helps anyone, but that's just the preset I've used to get a sharper, almost fully preserved vector version of my raster image.<br /><br />When I want to convert it to a PDF file using the File > Save As... > Save as type: PDF with the following preset:<br /><br />Adobe PDF Preset: Illustrator Default<br />Standard: None<br />Compatibility: Acrobat 8 (PDF 1.7)<br /><br />Then, my image as viewed in the Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional has several white lines, outlining areas of color.  You can see it here: <br /><br />http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/Mont-ImmortalSquirrel/Ai-PDF_whitelines.jpg<br /><br />The image connected to this link was captured with PrntScrn and copied into Photoshop, cropped, and saved as a jpeg.  The issue is perfectly preserved, as you can see the white lines outlining areas of color.  This problem is persistent despite the zoom level in Acrobat 8.  <br /><br />Just another little bit of information, the problem is most noticeable in the red area and not the cream/white and yellow areas.  When I was working on the original raster image in Photoshop CS3, the cream/white area was done with the Ellipse Tool, using Bevel and Emboss in the Blending Options.  The same goes for the yellow area, which was done with the Line Tool.  The red area was done manually, with the Brush Tool, Smudge, Blur, Burn, etc.<br /><br />I'm telling you guys just about everything I've done leading up to this issue.  But, if there's something you need to know more, I'll try to figure out what I could've possibly done wrong to get this result.

    I too get this result when using LiveTrace. My simple solution to this problem was to just place a solid color shape behind that section of the trace where it occurs that is the same color as the trace. Simple...but it worked.

  • How to create PDF from a web dynpro screen

    Hi all,
    I am in the process of creating my first web dynpro application for parking a document, the new requirement is when the user parks the document, a PDF of the web dynpro screen should also be generated. Can you please tell me how can I achieve that.
    Thanks,
    Rajat

    A PDF generated from the screen?  There is no SAP delivered functionality to do this. I might suggest that you just use the browser print and print to a PDF generated virtual printer.  Otherwise you would have to design an Adobe Form (and run it within WDA using the InteractiveForm) that matched the interface of the WDA screen.  There is no automatic generation.  You would have to design and maintain each independently.

  • I can't print to PDF from Illustrator CS3

    I have been using CS3 for a while now, but the last two jobs I have attempted to print to PDF with have failed. I get the message, "Can't Print the Illustration" and then the following error message:
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[Page: 1]%%
    %%[ Error: invalidrestore; OffendingCommand: restore ]%%
    Stack:
    -save-
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    Can anyone PLEASE HELP!!!

    There's either an offending object or a corrupt font.
    You can try these:
    1. first make a copy of the file.
    2. Select All/Convert text to outlines and make PDF. Does that work?
    3. If not, start a new file. Copy and paste each item individually to the new file and try to make a pdf each time. You will soon work out the offending item.

  • How to Create PDF From Web Page with Sign In

    Creating a pdf file from a web page works fine except when the site requires that I must be sign in. In that case Acrobat will not capture the page.  Is there an option or setting in Acrobat Pro X that will allow Acrobat to login?
    Thanks and regards, Murray

    Depending on the web page, you may be able to use the URL with ID and Password included. It goes something like http://ID:[email protected]@test.edu, but it would be best to look up the format for URLs if you want to try this approach.

  • Save PDF from Illustrator CS3 with no bleed

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone knows how to save an Illustrator file to a pdf so that there is no margin or bleed. Basically, I want no white space to surround my content. Any ideas?
    TIA,
    Thomas

    >...how to save an Illustrator file to a pdf so that there is no margin or bleed.
    >...I want no white space to surround my content.
    Your second statement indicates you
    i do
    want bleed (artwork extends past trim size so that you have a borderless end-product).
    I'm going to assume the second statement more correctly represents what you want.
    Either...
    1. Adjust your artboard size so that your artwork extends beyond (or coincides exactly with*) the perimeter; or
    2. Draw a rectangle to your desired trim dimensions and use Object | Crop Area | Make.
    Then, save as PDF.
    {I based this on AI 12 (CS2), so details may differ.}
    *OK for screen PDF creation, but not recommended for press output. Bleed ensures your final piece is borderless even with slight trimming inaccuracy.

  • CS3: How to generate PDF from multiple HTML files using CSS?

    I have a set of static HTML files. They are nicely formatted using a single style sheet. They interlink. I would like a way to generate a single PDF file from that set of HTML files that preserves the links (of course, they would all link within the single generated PDF because they would not longer be separate files as a PDF). I would also like to preserve the formatting from the CSS so it doesn't look generic. I own CS3 but don't know which tool to use for this, if any. Which tool would I use for this?

    I create a bunch of reports every week using an Excel 2010 addin that subsequently must be printed to PDF.  I then have to manually edit the properties of each document in order to apply the printing restriction.

    That's surprising & disappointing.  I would have thought that this capability would have long since been requested.
