AI file converted into FXG - Lossless?

Hi
I have a lot of AI files on my pc and noticed that I can save them as FXG files. Not only does this present some file size benefits it also seems to make the file easier to work with through flex/air applications.
However can someone tell me if an AI file (with all the whistles and bells such as multiple layers, editable regions, avatars etc...) can be converted into FXG and then back in AI at a later stage on a total LOSSLESS basis?
If not, what are the losses to the AI and are they noticeable to the end user?
Many thanks.

Is it possible to get 'as close as' to lossless i.e. to the point whereby loss isn't noticeable to the end user? For instance looking at the forward post above is the main loss from brush strokes and gradient information?
If not FXG is there a better file format supported by illustrator that will be lossless and also considerably reduce the file size? As above my problem is that I have most of my AI files with multiple layers which are about 2-5mg on disc per image!!!

How .java file converted into .class file

Hi,
Please tell me the process which is happening behind when actually we complile a java programm.
How it is called by class loader.and then what happen

The compiler lexes and parses the Java source, probably creates an AST, optimizes it, generates byte code, writes byte code to file. For details on compilation, get a book on compilers (Aho, Sethi, Ullman "Compilers: Principles, Techniques and Tools", aka The Dragon Book, is the classic, though there are more modern ones.)
For class loading, google for java class loader. Here are some basics:

I have MTS files imported from a Canon HD cam. They import into I movie and I see them in the Finder folders and they preview fine. I have a new project and some of the clips are freezing and some audio is now gone? Do i need a file converter and convert

I have MTS video files that import from a Canon Vixia HF S20 HD camera. I imported into I Movie. They converted into MOV files and I see them in the movies folder in finder. They view fine and run through the events folder in Finder. In I Movie, I created a new project and used a "Theme". The project worked fine at first but then some clips started to freeze and some lost audio. The effected clips are the same in the project library and in the event library, meaning they are froze in both places. As I said when i view through finder the MOV files preview and work fine. Is this inherent to MTS files using in I movie. SHould i consider using a file converter to convert to MOV files prior to importing into I movie.
I found on Apple support site info that states the MTS files can only be imported through the camera. I am developing my back up procedures and now I am faced with backing up in the original MTS files but not being able to reload if necessary into I movie. Any suggestions?

I'd like to add that after I import these clips without thumbnails, iMovie does give me an error and say that they could not be imported. No explanation as to why, though. Again, they play fine on my camera.

When I watch tv shows in Front Row that I've bought off iTunes the audio gradually falls out of sync with the video. It does not happen with other files that I have converted into mp4s. Any ideas for fixing this? It's a huge bummer...

I too have the same problem. The audio drop out of sync in about 5 sec in not uncommon for the audio to be 30+ sec behind video. Apple needs to fix this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its a joke, my iphone is all messed up after the last update as well. at one time not to long ago apple products and software were top rated, not so much any more, more and more problems are showing up and apple is unwilling or unalbe to fix the many issues. Apple needs to fix the audio sync problem, it not the computer hardware or other software it ITUNES!!!!, there is no workaround other then hitting pause and hitting pause and hitting pause to temp fix the problem.

Images in PDF file being converted into Word elements (e.g. tables and text boxes)

A friend of mine has recently signed up to ExportPDF so that he can convert PDF format wiring diagrams into Word format. On trying this the other day, we found that the wiring diagrams in the PDF file were being converted into elements of Word such as tables and text boxes.
Is there any way to get the diagrams converted into pictures within the Word document so that they can be copied and pasted into other documents? From looking at the limited settings panel to the right of the document in Reader I can't see it.

Perhaps an application dedicated to converting PDF's to Word documents may get better results.
Here's a free online converter I use with occasional success: http://www.pdftoword.com/

How to obtain the number of words of a protected pdf file that can't be converted into a word file?

My goal: "convert into pdf" -- the file is instantly saved with the same name as pdf. feasible?

Good evening dear experts,
i use Adobe Acrobat 9 pro extend to convert word, ppt, jepgs etc. into pdfs.
No if i
1) convert a ppt into a pdf: it asks --> "save as" --> converts --> opens the file
2) convert a jpeg into a pdf: it instantly --> opens the file as pdf --> i need to save it manual under "save as"
In both cases i want to
my goal: "convert into pdf" --> the file is instantly saved with the same name as pdf
WITHOUT asking me "save as" + "opening of the file".
Is the possible, and if yes, HOW ?
A fast answer is very very much appreciated, for i have to convert hundreds of files tonight in order to get it into 1 pdf
Thx and greetings from Germany,
Julia

We are nearly there!
A] - righclick "convert-to-method": @Bill: thx again, your approach worked for ppt, doc-files etc.
2 problems:
1) exception: for jpegs/bmps it doesn't work (the file is still opened after conversion, strange).
2) the output-folder. it only accepts the standard "output-folder documents/*.pdf" (which is a step further but not my end-goal). If i choose another output-folder via "browse", this setting is NOT SAVED (even after clicking on "accept" + "ok").
my goal: the the file should be automatically saved in THE SAME folder the original file is in (seems that can't be achieved and the standard folder is the only thing where to convert in?).
Personal background for understanding: i have many folders with several ppts in it. Once i send it out to a customer, i always have to convert it into a pdf. thats why i want to save time (i know that i can convert it directly + send per mail, but i want an up-to-date copy of the pdf in the folder as well).
B] - "the automated solution"- @Sandeep:
i just watched your link http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-tips-and-tricks/automating-tasks-in-acrobat/
about batch processing and i think its really helpful if i want to convert ALL of the files in one folder.
1 question regarding this: are the subfolders also affected?
As i understood from the video, i choose 1 "watched folder" and a "destination folder" (can be the same). E.g i have 1 big folder "designs" with many subfolders. I create a batch converting ppts to pdf to "the same folder" Once i run my batch, it converts ppts in the chosen folder "designs" + all subfolders into the same folder, right?
If this is the case, i get too many pdfs, for i only need the latest ppt-version to be converted (copies of old ppts are also in the files) ;(.
Do you have an idea how can i solve this?
Now we are very near to the end-solution of my goal:
i need this option "to the same folder" in my general settings when i convert a file via right-click. ATM it only works with the standard-folder documents/*.pdf
In A], my files are now instantly saved with the same name in 1 specific folder. I would be completely happy, if this folder would be alwys the same as the one with the original file (and not 1 specific folder)
2nd problem with a]: it does not apply to picture files (bmp, jpegs..)
So if we could solve this, i would be a completely happy girl
Guys, you are great, thx again for the whole struggle with my concerns!!

Payslips to be converted into individual PDF file&sent to email of employee

Dear Friends,
My client wants that the Payslips generated by Transaction- PC00_M40_CEDT, to be converted into separate individual PDF files based on Personnel Numbers, and sent to their Individual Email Ids as maintained in Infotype - 0105.
There should be no printing of payslips from hereon at the client.
Need some help and guidance, regarding the details for it. Where to start and what needs to be implemented to get the above required objective. We are using Z layouts for Remuneration statements.
Thanks & Regards,
Sunny

Hi Sunny,
      Please make use of program RSTXPDFT4 which converts list output to PDF
      format. You need to give spool number as input parameter which you can get
      from SP01 transaction.
      This doesn't fulfill your exact requirement but you can achieve conversion of
      output to PDF format.
      Reward points if found useful.
Best Regards,
Krishnan.

Hi Sunny,
you don't have to implement or be using ESS to take advantage of its features.
Take a look at the code that generate the ESS payslip, this contains all you need to be able to write a program to generate a PDF payslip per employee. There is no need to get SCOT or Adobe Acrobat to generate the PDF - there exist standard SAP function modules that can do this.
From this it is then a simple step to enhance the program to generate an email and attach the payslip.
I have written a program to do exactly this in the past, so I know that it is possible. I will not send you the code for the program, please do not ask.
However, it is possible and SAP have already done the greatest part of the work for you by building the ESS code - take advantage of it!
Hope this helps,
Chris

No Microsoft files listed in the settings "convert into PDF files"

Hi, I wanted to convert different Microsoft Office files, but it doesn't work. There are no Microsoft files listed in the settings "convert into PDF files". I had the trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on a MAC in Windows that runs trough Parallels. Hope somebody can help. Thx

Hi Rahul,
many thanks for your suggestion.
Yes, Parallels is a virtual machine on the top of MAC and I can see all files in the Windows Explorer. Also the ones I created on the MAC top with the Microsoft Office Software Word or Excel for MAC as well the ones I created earlier on a Windows PC.
Unfortunately there is no possibility to convert files into PDF format with a click on the right mouse. And Adobe also doesn't open Word documents because it doesn't support this format.
But nonetheless it wouldn't be a solution that I prefer to convert in adavance every single file in a PDF format. I need to create a PDF package from different formats.
I assume this issue has to do something with MAC or Parallels, because this function of the Adobe Versions Acrobat 8 Pro and XI Pro work well on a Windows PC. I just don't understand why there are no Microsoft Office file formats listed in the Adobe settings. This settings also can't be changed. I tried to find out but couldn't find any hint for this problem thus I'm a bit at a loss... Maybe you have another idea?
Regards

I create name plaques using TypeStyler, but my laser cutter says they must be converted into two vector files; a cut file to cut the outlines of all the letters and an "etch" to etch the letter intersect lines. Can AI convert my TypeStyler file into a cut file and an etch file?

Thanks. I might use it soon...
Does it automatically make folders named after the volume labels? And does it handle the conversion of spaces and non-alphanumeric characters to octal codes?
I could read the script but it would be faster for everyone reading, if you leave the answer as a reply.
I also think that there should be some major work done on modernizing the fstab, either by replacing it with a better implementation of file system mounting or changing the file structure and adding in better handling of non-alphanumerics. I don't want to have to look up a stupid octal table every time I type in my labels.

High Priority:-How to convert XMLSchema file (.xsd ) into .rtf file

Hi...
Hope you are doing well.
I request you to help us with an issue encountered on 'generating reports using XML Publisher', which is described as followed.
We have taken report from Oracle Apps and stored as XML file , then converted into XML Schema (.xsd) through Stylus Studio and uploaded that file into XML Publisher Desktop.
Now, we want to convert .xsd into .rtf file for the requirement.
Please revert back if the issue is not clear enough.
Your help is needed and appreciated.
Thanks&Regards,
Suresh.

Hi Suresh,
XSD file is an XML Schema Definition file, it is used to validate and XML file in making sure elements are of the correct datatype, mandatory elements exist etc...
It cannot be used to create an RTF file, as there is no layout definition within an XSD.
You will need to create the RTF manually in this case using MS Word and Template Builder.
I don't fully understand what you are trying to acheive, so maybe you could clarify further, and I may be able to help a little more.
Many Thanks,

How can I pass a file refnum into and out of external c++ code? What type does it convert to in c++?

I am trying to write external c++ code that will read a file already opened by Labview and therefore assigned a refnum. (Unfortunately, I definately can't use the standard Labview vis.) However I am not sure what c++ type to use in order to manage the refnum.
All help and thoughts appreciated. Thanks,
Joanna

You could do ALL your file handling in C or C++ (MFC CFile for
example) and pass Microsoft file handles into and out of LabVIEW
instead of LabVIEW file references into and out of C. This may be an
easier way to attack the problem.
You could create a DLL in MSVC that exports a FileOpen function, a
FileClose function and a FileRead and/or FileWrite Function and then
call that DLL from place to place as required in your code.
It would help us if you would explain what kind of data you are trying
to read or write and what the application is. Is it binary data?
text files? Do you need some special Win32 file system feature like
file mapped memory? I guess what I am asking is what is your
motivation for doing file handling in C or C++?
