Can I export solid objects into Illustrator / InDesign CS2 and maintain vector format

Can Adobe 3D export solid objects in vector format into Illustrator or InDesign CS2 suite?
I'm interested in taking solid 3D objects developed in Pro/E 2.0 and import from Adobe 3D into Adobe Illustrator & InDesign in vector format for page layout. I want to import solid objects in vector format and maintain color scheme and surface textures.
I'm running 3D trial version and can successfully import 3D objects (asm & prt files) solid views from Pro/E but can only export wireframe views from Adobe 3D Toolkit into Illustrator or InDesign (CS2). Solid objects first have to get rendered in a raster format before importing into Illustrator.
If this function is not supported does anyone have experience doing this using Quadraspace or Right Hemisphere 3D software?

Any help???? After 2 weeks I still can't learn from Adobe or Right Hemisphere people how to import solid objects in vector format into Illustrator with color and surface textures in place. All imported objects in vector format are converted to a wireframe or line format unless they are first rasterized.

  • Anyone's experience with Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign CS2 and Leapord?

    We are going to upgrade to Leapord early next week, but are wondering of anyone has experienced any problems with Adobe's CS2 versions. Adobe says that CS3 will mostly work and will have future updates--but said nothing about CS2 that I can find.
    My wife is in college and uses those programs pretty heavily. She also needs time machine as she often loses files.
    Please let me if anyone has had any good or bad experiences.
    Thanks!

    So far so good with CS2, but I have not had to time to really test it in depth.
    Installed Leopard onto an external hard drive connected to my iMac. If I have problems I can always boot back into Tiger from the internal drive. Once I feel safe the CS2 works fine with Leopard I will install it on the internal drive. I also have a mirror backup of the internal drive on a different external drive than the one with Leopard installed, double backup for now.
    PS: The newer versions FileMaker were reportedly not compatible. I am still using version 7.5 which seems to work fine under Leopard.
    I am fixing to get ready to install Leopard on the G4 iBook. Doing a backup of that hard drive first.

  • How can I export a pages file to a .doc and retain the formatting?

    Every time i have tried the export and save as a copy features the formatting gets screwed up and leaves me with strange page margins and all my spacing is off. I have to submit a double spaced document with 1" page margins. I have tried the double space feature in pages and using a single space format and then physically putting a space in between lines. Either way i end up with a single spaced paper with an extra long and wide page on the .doc save/export. Any tips on how to retain the formatting between pages and word?

    I have emailed back the fixed file and Word Export.
    You had a return after every single line. That is not necessary, it is a Word Processor and will wrap text as needed. Just hit return for the ends of paragraphs.
    You also had extra returns in the Header, I was unsure of what you wanted there so made it double spaced like the rest.
    There is an excellent book "The Mac is not a Typewriter" by Robin Williams, not sure if it is still in print but it is a good read.

  • I have written an ebook that has been created for kindle. How can I export the book into iBooks author?

    I have written an ebook that has been created for kindle. How can I export the book into iBooks Author?
    I have tried converting the book to different files like, mobi, epub, pdf. By using an app on my iphone.
    I still cannot add it to iBooks Author.
    I'm stuck, Please help me!

    Either use copy/paste and then format/style as desired, or take it to Pages or WORD and insert chapters - which may still require resettling.
    If you're looking for a 1:1 port, with all styles and layout intact, you may be dissapointed, tho.

  • Just starting to use InDesign CS2 and can't pull up my previous Pagemaker files; what do I do?

    Just starting to use InDesign CS2 and can't pull up my previous Pagemaker files; says "damaged and cannot be recovered"
    How can I retrieve those?

    I have no idea what "diagnostic recompose" is...
    Step 3 in this linked technote will show you how to do a diagnostic recompose - on a Mac. Instructions for doing it on Windows are out there somewhere, I'll try to find 'em if you can't. The technote tells you to remove graphics from master pages; I'd also unembed graphics (make sure all graphics are linked, not stored in the PageMaker doc) in order to try to get it to open up in ID.
    I'm sure there are more things you can try, if that doesn't work, but my broken-PageMaker-doc skills are pretty rusty.
    Also, you may want to edit your response on the forums webpage, and delete it from your future email-replies, so your email address and phone number aren't preserved for all to see on the forums, forever.
    Edit: Step 3, not step 4

  • Illustrator CS5 Not the Default for EPS and other Vector Formats

    Hey everyone, the issue I'm haveing is not just with Illustrator, but sense I couldnt find a general CS5 forum, and Illustrator was the last CS5 application i noticed this for I'm hoping to find some answers here.
    So on to the issue....
    I have noticed that on other computers (Macs for sure) that Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver etc... are set as the default handlers of certain file types that are associated with each application, and as such, give each filetype there own little icons reflecting such.
    However on my system (Windows 7 Ultimate x64) this does not seem to be the case. I can go in and set them as default manually, which I have done for the filetypes I use most frequently, but I do not get to enjoy the nice icons that made for each filetype, i just get a bland, default icon that is the same for every filetype.
    Is there a way to fix this issue?
    Thanks for you help.

    Yes, I think i mentioned it before that I knew I could set the default app through Explorer (right clicking, going to "open with" etc..) but this doesn't let you use any of the custom icons that come with the adobe applications, it sets it as the default icon associated witht he particular application. I'll take a look in the properties when I get home but, but I think you may be referring to the "open with" dialogue.
    Most applications like Firefox, iTunes etc.. have a button in there preferences menu to "set as default" for all file types they can open, however I don't see such an option in any Adobe applications except for bridge, and that doesn't seem to do anything.

    I believe in the properties pane for one of those files it will display the default app for opening such files and you can  change it there as well and make it apply to all similar files.

  • Is it possible to export of the stage of a Flex application in vector format?

    Is it possible to export of the stage of a Flex application in vector format?
    Right now our only option is to render our graphs to a (large, off-screen) bitmap and export that bitmap, which is a real shame because every
    component in Wondergraphs is 100% vector based.  Anyone at Adobe know more about this?

  • Can We Paste Photoshop Smart Objects Into Illustrator (as Linked/Embedded)?

    Since raster editing is much more limited in Illustrator, is there a way to link or embed an individual Smart Object from Photoshop into Illustrator? I know there is an option to Place a file into Illustrator. But what if I have a larger Photoshop document with many Smart Objects in it, and just want to copy and paste one of those into Illustrator, but also have it update when I update it in Photoshop. Is this possible?

    Copy and Paste won't have a link to the original file. Only Place can have that.

  • How can I fit 75 pages into Illustrator?

    I'm working on a rulebook for a boardgame.  Each page has vector art and text blocks intermixed to explain the rule mechanics.  It now exists as 75 individual Illustrator files that need to be combined into a single PDF document. 
    Obstacle 1:  Illustrator doesn't have enough space for 75 artboards
    Obstacle 2:  Using copy-paste to put each into InDesign doesn't work:  Each line of text becomes an individual text block (and therefore uneditable).
    Obstacle 3:  Using the Place function to put each .ai file into InDesign loads each page as a uneditable picture.  I'd have to open each individual page in Illustrator to make a change.
    Background:  The rulebook was created in a ten-year-old version of Macromedia Freehand, which will not work on my new iMac.  Converting it to illustrator resulted in 75 individual .ai files
    Is there a way to allow more space in Illustrator to hold more artboards?  Can two exported .pdf files be merged together (so the rulebook could be done with two or more .ai files)? 

    As a longtime FreeHand user, I can offer my 2¢.
    I am able to import a multi-page FreeHand MX into Illustrator CC if I first convert the file to PDF. Then using the script: "AI Open MultiPage PDF" http://aiscripts.com/ai-scripts/openmultipagepdf/ I can import the full FreeHand PDF file and it will show up page-by-page. It takes a few minutes to do and does a decent job but ...
    Beware the text format limitations between the two programs!  FreeHand's block text converts to line text in AI.
    The conversion does keep the vector objects editable and fills intact.

  • Can't export an EPS file from Photoshop CS5 and open in Illustrator CS5.

    I'm on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
    I am making DVD covers for print. The barcodes for the DVD covers have to be done in Illustrator. But the original designs are done in photoshop including the text. For years this hasn't been a problem. Right before adding the barcodes I create an EPS file from photoshop, open that file in Illustrator and all my text is automatically coverted to perfect crisp clean vectors, viola! I add the barcodes and export the PDF for the printers.
    But now I can't open my EPS files in Illustrator CS5 even though I'm exporting them the same way I always have from Photoshop CS5. Illustrator says... "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error." --> Note it does not give an error number after this warning like I see it does for so many other people.
    I have been trying to fix this for over 10 HOURS spanning 2 days! I'm infuriated I can't get help from Adobe on this and have read all the forums and don't see my problem listed anywhere.
    I've tried:
    - Deleting the .plist file and the Settings folder & resetting my permissions
    - Uninstalling and Reinstalling Illustrator
    - Turning off all other applications
    - Creating more disk space on my hard drive (even though I have 200gb available)
    - Restarting the computer
    - Disabling my Font book and still I can't open the EPS file
    I thought maybe it's possible it's the font I'm using Fontesque OT so I even tried converting text to objects prior to exporting the EPS file from photoshop to illustrator and turning off my font book, but still it won't open. And if I open the PSD directly in Illustrator, text comes out a bit fuzzy in the PDF I export.
    If anyone can provide any solutions I would be so grateful! I'm at my wits end here, this should have taken under an hour to do and now it's ruining my entire weekend. I'm completely panicked because I was suppose to have these to my client over the weekend so they could turn them in for Print frist thing on Monday morning and of course Adobe provides no chat support or phone support after 7pm on weekday or on the weekend which is when this all started.

    I never even thought of reinstalling photoshop, but I think this was a font issue. I'd never saved an EPS with Fontesque OT Regular enabled, only Fontesque OT Bold. Somehow I think the font was causing the problem because ridding the font from the equation allowed me to open the EPS file.
    After 12 HOURS of trying different things I found a WORK AROUND...
    I had to:
    - Select the Text in Photoshop (with Fontesque OT enabled)  --> Select Create Work Path --> Covert to Shape on each of the text items
    - Save EPS file out of Photoshop
    - Disable Fontesque OT font in Font Book
    - Then open EPS in Illustrator add in my Barcodes and export the PDF
    (the barcodes have to be added in Illustrator because they need to be pure 100% black with no CMYK color in them. You can't save them out of Photoshop that way, only Illustrator, otherwise I would have made my pdf straight out of photoshop like any other normal human
    This work around is the only way I could get the EPS files to open in Illustrator and still have the text remain super crisp like a vector.
    NOTE to others in the future about crisp text from Photoshop to Illustrator:
    - Simply "converting to shape" did not preserve the vector. You have to Select Create Work Path --> then Covert to Shape on each of the text items (with the font enabled) for this to work and preserve the crispness of the text. Even creating "smart object" did not truly preserve my vectors or the text crispness in the EPS file once I imported it into Illustrator.
    DrStrik9 thank you SO MUCH for trying to help me. You did give me ideas that helped me figure out the workaround and also helped me feel not so alone as I struggled through this. I'm going to follow up with your other suggestions about reinstalling photoshop and also checking my RAM, etc. But I just want to that you so so so SOOOO much for all your time and consideration in this matter. I hope you have a wonderful amazing week ahead and that someone does something very nice and thoughtful for you too

  • Embedding SWF file into an Indesign document and later export as PDF

    Hi to everybody,
    I am searching now since 3 days for good solution of my problem. First I wanna tell you that the problem is not just to convert a swf-file into a pdf.  I did this many times with all animations, page flip and stuff.My situation is the following:
    I have varios catalogues with  more or less 12 pages each in an indesign format. Now I created an animated scroll down menu, which appears on an "index-page". On the menu I created buttons. One button for each catalogue. So the idea of the whole thing is to open a document and an index page appears where you have the animated menu and you choose the catalogue you wanna see. Until here it is quite easy. I created a swf file of each catalogue with my animations (as the special page turnover e.g.). So that I just need von Object in with I can load the different swf-files of these catalogues. I already did the process. I linked the buttons to the different swf files and so. So the problem is now when it comes to convert the whole thing into a PDF. Of course I convert it first to swf and then to PDF. After converting it to swf it works 100% fine, but in PDF not, suddenly the swf-files of the catalogues disappear.
    So the summary is, that I don't know how to embed swf files into an indesign document, creat buttons and interactions next to swf file, then save it to another swf, and then to a pdf without losing the first swf files within the pdf.
    Hope I made my self clear would be too nice if someone could help me or if someone may have a better idea of realizing the whole project.

    Jeffrey,
    Thank you for the answer. As you have written:
    I will also add that the ID's play mode contol [plays once] [repeat play] does not always control the file once in Acrobat.
    I presume you mean version of ID older than CS4 or version of Acrobat Reader older than 9.1
    It that is the case I will strongly recommend my visitors to upgrade to this version.
    I hope that would work.
    Thanks again.
    Peter
