Adding keywords to eps, ai, pdf & jpeg

Hi I'm new to bridge and I'm also new to keywords/tagging so I need little help.
I'm trying to tag files with keywords then upload them to a service called fluxiom (which is like an online portfolio). Fluxiom allows you to search your files by keywords. Now I've added keywords to jpgs and tifs with success but when I try other files like pdfs, ai, eps, etc my keywords are not "sticking" - any ideas? I've also tested it locally by searching my files with Spotlight which is giving me the same results - tif, jpg are okay but not the others.
help please.

I tried restarting with the option key and reset everything but I'm still not having success. I've attached a pdf that shows the results I'm getting. The tif and the jpeg worked fine, the pdf half worked and the ai and eps (which I saved a variety of ways using different previews) didn't work on any of them.
As I mentioned I'm running CS3 on all these apps in Leopard 10.5.5.
Another related question to help me get a better understanding of Bridge and tagging shouldn't I be able to search on my mac either using the finder (command + F) or spotlight for these embedded keywords? Isn't tagging the files to have the ability to search for them either on the web or on my computer the main reason for tagging. I ask because after I added these keywords/descriptions and searched for the files the only three I found where the tif, jpg & pdf - again confirming the issue I'm having.
sorry if I'm asking a dumb question.

  • Writing XMP to multiple file formats (PDF, JPEG,  TIFF, etc)

    Hi,
    I am developing a server-side component that embeds XMP data into a file (of various formats) and then provides these files for client download.
    I have been using the XMP toolkit for generating the metadata, however i now have the problem of getting this metadata into the relevant file. I could always develop this myself but it seems like a huge amount of work. So to make my life easier, does anyone know of any toolkits (from adobe or otherwise) that support writing XMP data into different file formats (PDF, JPEG, TIFF, AIFF, MPEG etc) ??
    I am developing in Java so I would prefer Java libraries, however I can always use JNI calls to C/C++ (as i have with the XMP toolkit).
    Any help would be very appreciated.
    Regards,
    Jude

    Greetings,
    I think we should standardize some information, I know for a fack, that I will support adding XMP metadata in the HDF, RIFF, IFF and OLE file formats. If you have any specific suggestions on the chunk information or signature information that I should use, let me know?
    For my part, I was thinking of adding RIFF,IFF chunks with the name \ xmp in those file formats. For OLE, maybe an added stream with the xmp name (in UTF-16).
    Comments welcome everyone!

  • Adding keywords in Bridge, causes illegal operand i.e. corrupts the illustrator files.

    Upon adding keywords to a large amount of illustrator files in Bridge (mainly .eps but also some .ai), more than half of the files are now corrupt, giving me the following message:
    Can’t open the illustration. The illustration contains an illegal operand. Offending operator: {eps_metadata_stream}
    Context: ‘5
    It should be noted that ALL of these files were 100% okay prior to adding some keywords in Bridge.
    Does anyone have an idea how to repair corrupt files, and whether this is a known bug?
    setup:
    I haven’t yet had the time to update to CC2014, and am still using the previous CreativeCloud setup running OSX 10.8.5.

    We just started using Bridge and I am on OS 10.9.5 and using Creative Cloud and we are running into the same situation. I load the images into the Bridge and have no issue with Photoshop files, but the Illustrator .eps files get corrupt when I add in keywords to Bridge for them. Haven't been able to find a solution to fix this so currently I'm just not adding in keywords which makes it difficult for our designers to search for these files to use on their projects.

  • Importing EPS to PDF with Ghostscript looses the grouping

    Hi,
    I used Ghostscript to import a EPS to a PDF file and the grouping EPS file has seem to be loosing while generating the PDF. Can someone let me know whether the grouping can be retrained? I would like to know whether the "grouping" "ungrouping" is a specific feature in Illustrator which can't be retrained.
    The following are the links to the EPS and PDF file for your reference.
    Dropbox - survivor book.eps
    Dropbox - survivor_book.pdf
    If the grouping can indeed be retained while converting with Ghostscript, please let me know how to do the same.
    Or if there are other ways to convert to PDF using which the grouping can be retained, let me know the same too.
    Thanks,
    Leena

    Sorry for the confusion, I will explain more about the relation between Illustrator and Ghostscript. I am working on a web application which allows the users to create designs which can be used for custom printing. The application allows the user to upload EPS files as artworks, add custom text etc and in the end the generates a PDF which will be shared with the printer.
    We are using Ghostscript for importing the EPS files and creating the final PDF file which includes the uploaded artwork(s) and any text(s) the user has added.
    Now the problem that we've faced while importing the EPS file using Ghostscript is that, it removes the "grouping" that was present in the EPS file while converting to the PDF file. So my question was whether you can help me by giving some pointers to retain the group by using tools such as Ghostscript. Please let me know the appropriate forum where I can ask similar questions.
    I had asked this question in Ghostscript forum but didn't get a clear answer.
    Thanks,
    Leena

  • Keywords won't save to JPEG from LR3

    I have an interesting problem I can't resolve. I imported some JPEGs into LR3 and added keywords, title and description to the first one. I then used Sync Metadata to add the same keywords to the second file. All shows normally in LR. I then edited the keywords a bit, changed the title and description, and then after selecting both, I saved metadata to file using the right-click menu.
    The first image has all information saved to the file (I'm using both Prostockmaster and Irfanview to check), but nothing I do will make the metadata appear in the second image. I tried exporting to a new file name with no success, tried modifying the keywords again and saving to file, basically tried everything I can think of, but I cannot get the metadata into the file. If it was just one image, this wouldn't be a great problem, but it has happened to several that were handled similarly.
    The JPEGs came from an export from LR from original Canon raw files (no keywords at that stage) if that makes a difference.
    Any ideas?
    Steve

    Did you notice that you need to specify for each keyword, if it will be included on export? You do so in editing the keyword tag (right-click on a keyword, chosse edit..).
    The keywords that won't save - how are they specified regarding export?
    When you export from raw to jpeg, do you tick "minimize embedded metadata" in the export dialog ? When I do so, no keywords will be exported (neither EXIF info about lens and lighting etc.).
    So you might give it a try to first check on the keyword tag properties, then exporting without the minimizing metadata tick.

  • I would like to see the added keywords under the picture like iPhoto does it. Is that possible? I cannot find an answer

    I would like to see the added keywords under the picture like iPhoto does it. Is that possible? I cannot find an answer in Aperture 3.2.1

    Hello Wontolla, I meant the Aperture main menu, there is a sub menu "View", see the Screenshot:
    Set all flags in the Metadata Display submenu as I did,  to show Metadata in Viewer and Browser, and then select "Customize"
    Pick the Metadata fields you want to display for all views.
    Make sure, that "Contents -> Keywords" is checked.

  • Adding keywords to .ai in Bridge CS4

    Hello,
    I'm currently working on adding keywords on our images and I noticed some .ai files accept to be added keywords while some don't.
    Some files respond with the message that this file cannot store XMP metadata. Is it a matter of having an Illustrator file in a specific version or more?
    Thank you!
    Émilie

    First check if you have used files that have been shot with different
    lenses. A category in the filter panel only appears if there are two or more
    different criteria present, otherwise there would not be any need to filter
    Second, the lens has to be capable to interact with the EXIF data in the
    camera, most of them do but not all. If a lens can't communicate with this
    EXIF data the data will not be present in the metadata that comes with your
    file and therefore not be seen by Bridge.
    Last, check also the fly out menu top right of the filter panel, put your
    mouse on it and you will see the list of filter categories appear. Those
    with a checkmark in front are visible, those without are not.
    How do I get the lens catagory to appear?

  • Acrobat 9.0 (Windows XP) I Need help converting an EPS to PDF

    When I try to convert an eps to pdf in acrobat 9.0 I get this error message %%[ Warning: Empty job. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem? If you could give me a step by step instruction on how to do so it would be great because I am a new user.

    Try opening Distiller first (do not drag it) so that you can see the messages on screen. There is typically a log file produced also. For some reason, it appears that you are getting the message and it has no basic info included, but it may not be complete. I will not say that I can read all of the log files, but it is the starting place. Another alternative is to try to post the EPS file (hopefully not too big) for us to download and try ourselves. Unfortunately, I can not try AA9 that I do not have, only 4 different earlier versions.

  • Opening word, excel, pdf, jpeg files as attachments on iphones

    I've always been able to open word, excel, pdf & jpeg files as attachments on my iphone 5.  But recently, everytime I tried to open one of these, the file image turned up all grey, and in the case of jpeg files, it just kept on loading, loading & loading, but never finished loading ...  It seems like this happened after I updated to IOS 6.1.4 recently...  This is just a guess.  Could anyone help me with this?  Thank you.

    Srinivas,
    Thank you for your reply. It helped me get to a solution. In essence I needed to copy the Unix file to an internal table and then save it to the end user's PC file. Then I am able to open the document / attachment.
    I created a new function to:
    1) call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_browse,  to ask the end user to pick a PC directory to copy the Unix file attachment to.
    2) Then  using the following code, copy the Unix file (as determined by application or user) to an internal table. Note that the line is not limited by a certain length.
      types: begin of t_tab,
              line type string,
             end of t_tab.
      data: k_wa_itab type t_tab,
            t_it_itab type standard table of t_tab.
    open dataset v_unixfilename for input in binary mode.
      if sy-subrc <> 0.
        raise unix_filename_read_error.
      endif.
      do.
        read dataset v_unixfilename into k_wa_itab-line.
        if sy-subrc <> 0.
          exit.
        endif.
        append k_wa_itab to t_it_itab.
      enddo.
      close dataset v_unixfilename.
    3) Using call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download, save the contents of the internal table to the PC directory from step 1 above.
    4) Open the Attachment from the end users PC via:
    call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
    It seems like a long way to get this to work, but it is working. If there is a better way maybe someone else can fill in the blanks. Ideally a tool to read and open from a file from Unix without using the cl_gui_frontend_services would be ideal.

  • Adjust page boundary when converting eps to pdf

    Hi, I have a problem with the page boundaries when converting eps files to pdf files. The resulting pdf page boundary is the bare minimum around the eps objects, leading to different page sizes when the pdf is viewed on screen. I would like all of my pdf objects to have the standard letter (8.5 by 11 inch) page boundary. Furthermore, when the pdf is printed the size of the objects is not to to the same scale as the eps file (which was created in adobe illustrator), and the orientation of the picture is often rotated to what is displayed on the eps or pdf file! Can anybody help me with this problem?

    I opened Distiller from the regular programs menu. I have a job settings file selected that has a 8.5X11 size. I opened a 5.5X7.5 EPS file in Distiller and it creates a PDF with the image at the bottom of the 8.5X11 page. You can also simply open the PDF that you already have and print to a new PDF -- selecting expand to fit if desired.

  • Adding keywords to MANY pictures with Bridge CS3?

    Hi there,
    I am adding keywords to over 10,000 pictures using Bridge CS3.
    I'm copying the keywords from their respective sites and pasting them into the metadata fields in Bridge. (Also adding others if they are not included.) I'm also changing them to all lowercase in InDesign so they are not repeated/duplicated. (i.e. "People" and "people".)
    There are many folders and sub-folders but they are all under one main folder.
    Two questions:
    1) Anyone know of a easier way to do this?
    2) Is there a way to make the ("People" and "people") problem go away?
    Mac OS X 10.5.5 Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9
    Thanks.

    Thanks again Jim
    This was not the answer I wanted to hear. So I contacted Adobe directly- They are very quick- they responded within 24 hours via email of course and reiterated what you said- I guess I just needed "official" word from Adobe, before I went to plan B
    Anyways If anyone ever has problems like this where you got a bunch of .m1v files and you need to tag them with metadata- I suggest to do what I am doing and download tmpegenc it is a great little piece of software that will convert your .m1v files to .mpg files that you can now tag within bridge, Beauty
    I will NEVER export to .m1v AGAIN
    Thanks TMPEG
    Thanks Jim and Thanks Adobe
    Best Wishes

  • How to save mac compatible ai eps and pdf on windows

    how to save mac compatible ai eps and pdf on windows

    haykaz,
    You can, but there may be no need. There is, or at least may be, a certain deterioration in appearance when you outline fonts, especially in connexion will small point sizes.
    Rereading, I noticed the PDF part. Normally, the fonts are embedded in PDF and thereby platform independent.
    Have you tried and found any issues?
