Can Java save straight to EPS or similar?

Thanks for reading, heres the setup--user visits my site to design his own custom plaque-he picks a template in my hypothetical Java app and sets to work entering names, congradulatory text and picking from pre-defined graphics/logos and then clicks the ORDER button.
Can I export his design intact to my server in an EPS or similar, common vector file format? Preferably converting some of the type to curves in the process.
I don't want to go through a lot of BS to get the file (as with Flash)--I can't run the output through some third party interpreter and get a sorta-kinda-like representation of his design--it's gotta be THE WYSIWYG design he produced. Reason being we're trying to avoid the layout-proof-update roundtrip--what he designed is exactly what we produce and if there are any mistakes they are his, not ours. (It may sound harsh but it's the only way we can possibly compete anymore--we need to offload the design process 100% onto the customer)
So, can Java do this? Can I get an EPS or similar format straight out of a Java app?
Thank you.

  • How can I save an image with background transparency as an eps in photoshop?

    I have to submit an eps of my logo and I would like it to have a transparent background. I have googled this many times, followed all of the suggestions and I'm still having trouble.

    Follow the help text in PhS CS2. I have shown importat guidelines by bold text:
    "To save a path as an image clipping path
    Draw a work path that defines the area of the image you want to show.
    Note: Paths are vector-based; therefore, they have hard edges. You cannot preserve the softness
    of a feathered edge, such as in a shadow, when creating an image clipping path.
    In the Paths palette, save the work path as a path.
    Choose Clipping Path from the Paths palette menu, set the following options, and click OK:
    For Path, choose the path you want to save.
    For Flatness, leave the flatness value blank to print the image using the printer’s default value.
    If you experience printing errors, enter a flatness value to determine how the PostScript interpreter
    approximates the curve. The lower the flatness value, the greater the number of straight lines used
    to draw the curve and the more accurate the curve. Values can range from 0.2 to 100.
    In general, a flatness setting from 8 to 10 is recommended for high-resolution printing
    (1200 dpi to 2400 dpi), and a setting from 1 to 3 for low-resolution printing (300 dpi to 600 dpi).
    If you plan to print the file using process colors, convert the file to CMYK mode.
    Save the file by doing one of the following:
    To print the file using a PostScript printer, save in Photoshop EPS format, DCS, or PDF format.
    To print the file using a non-PostScript printer, save in TIFF format and export to Adobe InDesign,
    or to Adobe PageMaker® 5.0 or later.   "
    An image with clipping path contains everything outside the path as transparent.
    Tested actually by PhS CS6.
    Photoshop is not the right tool. Better use Illustrator or InDesign (ID for logos which are not too complex).
    Graphical objects in IL or ID reside on a transparent background without any selection or clipping path
    (PostScript concept).

  • I am running Photoshop CS6 on a Mac OS X 10.9.3 and every time I save a large eps I can not open it again. I get this message when I try. "Could not complete your request because Photoshop was unable to parse the PostScript."

    Oh, dear.
    If you use PSE as your external editor for iphoto, you need to save the images back to iphoto by using Save, not Save As and not changing anything like the name or format that would bring up the Save As window. (You may need to adjust the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing.)
    OR you can export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, use file>open in the editor and then change whatever you want and either import the saved image to the organizer or import it back to iphoto as a new file. What you are doing is extremely risky, particularly to the iphoto library which you may easily damage by your workflow.
    I would start the organizer holding down the shift key, then create a new catalog and switch to the new one. Then try opening the editor without opening an image and see if you get any farther.
    PSE and iphoto are not designed to be used as you've been doing. You are trying to write to the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is the fastest known way to corrupt the library and lose all your photos.

  • Can't save as 'eps' in Indesign cs6 trial.

    I am trying to design a logo and I am using a trial version of Indesign cs6. However, it will not let me "save as" an eps file. It only allows 'indesign cc template", "indesign cc document" and "Indesign CS4 or later".  How can I save my logo as an 'eps' on a transparent background so I can use it in the creation of my business card?

    All the google help pages say that you can save an eps file on a transparent background
    For example; http://smallbusiness.chron.com/create-eps-file-transparent-background-52652.html
    But I don't have the option in my Indesign "save as" > "format" drop down menu. It is so frustrating.
    I have been able to do it before, in Indesign cs6 on a PC.
    When you save a logo as an 'eps' file you onle see the actual logo making it very easy and functional to work with when using the logo to create a design. When you save it as anythig else the logo appears on a white page. Like a letterhead. on a document.

  • Can't save as eps; Error ID = -61

    Working on Mac, Leopard. In Illustrator CS5.1, when I go to save a new file as an eps, I get the error message:
    Can't save some resource data, but the artowrk was saved successfully. The file is locked. Use the Get Info command in the Finder to unlock the file. ID = -61
    Well, since it's a new document, I can't Get Info, so I can't imagine how the file is locked. When I try a second time to save, it lets me. What gives?
    Thanks!

    Wow. That was very interesting.
    I wonder if this is what is causing problems with PDFs we create (saving to our server) from CS5.5 applications; intermittently, when we email these PDFs, some recipients cannot open the files. The workaround Adobe suggested was to open the file (on the server) in Acrobat and resave over the original. So far, that has worked. But that's all done to files on the server, so maybe this is not related? (sorry, just thinking out loud).
    Thanks for the help!

  • Illustrator CS2 Can't Save EPS Files

    I'm running Illustrator CS2 on a PC with Windows XP, and while I can save Illustrator files in AI and PDF formats with no problems, and export files also without problem, when I try to save an EPS file it brings up an alert box that says "Can't save the illustration". For obvious reasons this message is not helpful in determining the problem or going about a solution. I would greatly appreciate any help as this is a problem at my workplace and I have some time sensitive projects I need to finish. Thanks in advance.

    Most likely some color separation or transparency flattening thing. Could also be the order of your groups/ shapes. Just hard to tell. For testing, I would save a PDF and do a preflight check in Acrobat or other such tool. This usually reveals any problematic stuff...

  • Try to save .ai file as EPS it says "Can't save the illustration. Can't print the illu

    Windows 8. Adobe Illustrator CS6
    I create an illustration and saved it as an .ai file.  Now that I'm ready, I want to save it as an EPS file, but a window pops up saying "Can't save the illustration. Can't print the illustration." I tried saving it under older formats, doesn't work.  Help!

    I don't think it is a Win8 issue per se. I export to EPS from both CS5.1 and CS6 on Windows 8 64-bit. It may well be a user account issue or the CS6 installation itself.
    Try creating a new user account on the Win 8 computer and try it. Only takes a few minutes with the reboot.

  • Can you save your crop/bleed marks as well as your slug when saving your Indeign document as an eps

    Can you save your crop/bleed marks as well as your slug when saving your Indeign document as an eps

    Let me guess: Your printer asked you to do this, right? Your printer is living in the 1990s and is probably trying to place this in a QuarkXPress file. And I'll suggest you should run, not walk, to find another more modern printer!
    But, if you have to do it, you could export as a PDF file (including the marks, bleeds and slug). Then in Acrobat, choose File > Export (Acrobat 9 Pro) or File > Save as > Other Formats > Encapsulated PostScript (Acrobat X Pro).

  • Using tab groups but Firefox 28.0 crashes and even can not save all tabs in archive recently

    Hi. I installed tab groups addon on my firefox 28.0 (firefox portable version) and each group has its tabs. of course. Problem is that Firefox crashes when i work on a group with the tabs and even can not save all tabs in archive as MAFF recently too. When i try to save all tabs in archive as... i choose the name and hit save and wait but after some time this crashes too. Last time i saved all my tabs and groups as MAFF or other file was end of april and since then i can not save them anymore because of the crashing.
    I read on the help site to delete Firefox then reinstall ect. to fix problems but I DO NOT want to erase my groups with their tabs as i chose this solution working with group tabs as it would be to hard on my cpu when i use for each group a different browser for example.
    Please help me fix this problem with the crashes but without loosing my groups and its tabs as they are all important and do not wish to erase them as i use them all.
    Thanks and hope for a soon reply :)

    Can you give me your crash reports?
    #Enter ''about:crashes'' in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.

  • I can't save documents in Pages.

    I can't save documents in Pages. I get a "file does not exist" error message. I've tried changing the file name, length, and location. To no avail. This is only sporadic.

    Hey fruhulda,
    I have a similar problem although I'm running OSX 10.9.5.  I'v just started to completely remove pages and attempt a reinstall.  I did the search for the plist file.  There was only one file with the com.apple.iwork.pages name but it did not have the .plist extension, even when I checked the info page.  Is this the same file?
    I'm not sure I want to update to Yosemite yet, but it looks like I may have to in order to continue to work with my pages documents, unless the reinstall works.

  • Can you save your own theme and button set up so I can use the same format

    Can you save your own theme and button set up, so I can use this same format for similar content. I want to keep the button content and the theme the same without having to create it everytime? I am trying to streamline the process for multiple dvd's with the same menu and buttons but different content. Does that make sense?

    I am only new to this caper too, but I am pretty sure you can save a theme as a favourite by pressing the "save theme as favourite" button under file. If you have edited an existing theme but don't want to lose it, make sure you untick the replace existing button.

  • How can I save a file in the server?

    Hello,
    I am writing a Java Web Start program that it will generate a html file, how can I save the generated file in the server, fro example, the directory where I stored my JAR files. Because right now, it will create the html file in the local client mahcine instead of the server. Can anyone tell me how can I do this? Thanks you.

    Yeah, thanks but that's not what I was trying to ask.
    I know that you can save and open a document by performing these three steps:
    1. Confirming to save a file to the Downloads folder
    2. Open the download manager by clicking the temporarily green arrow
    3. Clicking on the downloaded file
    What I would like to know is whether or not it is possible to have Firefox open a saved file ''automatically''. At the moment, if I choose to open it automatically, it is only saved to my temp folder.
    It would be great though if it was saved to my Downloads folder ''and'' opened with the respective program on my pc. Is there a way to do this?

  • When deleting iCloud account, how can I save the photo's & other apps etc that are stored in iCloud?

    I have recently changed my Apple ID as my email address has changed & also changed my password.
    I posted a question yesterday about this & have since discovered from further searching here, that I need to delete and set up a new iCloud account as my iPad keeps asking me to login in with my Apple ID showing my old email address (& doesn't accept old (or new) password). Also, naturally, I can't back up with iCloud.
    When I go to delete iCloud account a message appears that my photo stream (& presumably other stored apps etc?) will be deleted/ lost from my iPad too. I currently have no access to any other computer (when return home I have a windows lap top only). I am therefore very reluctant to delete my account in fear of loosing my photo's in particular.
    Can any one help with the above please? Would all my stored data (phot's, apps etc) actually be deleted from my iPad when deleting my iCloud account? If so how else can I save (later restore?) my iCloud stored data?
    Man thanks,
    NJohnR

    I do appreciate your, obviously experienced, help.
    When I went to change my details in the mail settings as you suggested, I was unable to do so. Yes- I could & did add my new email details that I changed to in my Apple ID. however I was unable to change the primary email & therefore iCloud still wouldn't recognise my new Apple ID & kept asking for my details under my old/ original email address.
    Though I did search further after this in the iCloud web site & found further very similar questions to mine where users were successful by deleting the iCloud account.
    So I went ahead & did this. As soon as I had deleted the account it asked me to login to iCloud with my new email address in my Apple ID which worked fine - & I have also retained all my data.
    Again, I appreciate your help & time you spent in reading and answering my need for help.
    All the best,
    NJohnR
