Can this be done with the SDK ??

Hey
im looking some advice. im looking to develop an application that does the following.
1. Take an image file any format (jpeg/bitmap/gif....etc)
2. Convert the image to 7x10 dpi
3. Change the dimensions of the image to restore aspect ratio
4. Pass the image to illustrator to vectorise the image and change the resolution of it to a custom size.
5. Save the resulting image as any format (jpeg/bitmap/gif.... etc)
I have pretty much covered steps 1,2,3 myself.
I would like to know can steps 4&5 be done easily, ie does illustrator allow east integration with custom applications ?
Could anyone provide a brief logic on how this would be done. i have not yet subscribed for the sdk, but will do if it can be done.
Can anyone think of an alternative solution ??
Thanks alot

You can accomplish this with the scripting capabilities.

  • Drag and drop images into anchored frames -- can this be done with the images imported by reference?

    My company bought a product from another company and the only manuals files that came with it were in pdf format. I am currently grabbing text out in Acrobat, then pasting and reformatting it in FrameMaker. Boring and tedious. . . .
    Eventually I get to the point of importing the illustrations. There are *hundreds* of them. As a rule, we import the files by reference, to keep the chapter size smaller and to be able to double click the image to open it for modification.
    However, I can drag an image file from the folder window and drop it into an anchored frame. Oooh, this is fast--way faster than all the mousework that goes into clicking file>import>file>[choosing the file then hitting the import button].
    But, dang it, that copies the image into the FrameMaker file. No double-click opening. Giant fm. file size. Mad boss, shaking an SOP standards sheet in my face.
    So, my question: Is there a way to import an image *by reference* by dragging and dropping them into an anchored frame?
    Thanks, folks.
    Moore. Matt Moore.

    I tried the RTF route and, in addition to getting the body text I wanted, got paragraph after paragraph of the page numbers, the illustration text, the header and footer verbiage, all randomly placed between body text paragraphs.
    I did the same file twice, once by saving as RTF and deleting unwanted stuff, then repairing body paragraphs (each line of which is a seperate paragraph in the RTF file) and also by sweeping only the necessary text, then copying and pasting it page by page. The second method was a bit faster and less frustrating. Not to say that it isn't slow and frustrating in itself, but just a bit less. Less errors, too, with the second method.
    Bummer about importing by reference. I don't suppose there's a way to set up recorded actions with hotkeys, is there? Like in Illustrator?
    Thanks, Art.

    You're welcome.
    Have you never synced your iPhone with iTunes on your computer to transfer music and any other iTunes content from your iTunes library on your computer, or to transfer photos from your computer to your iPhone, etc.?
    What I'm referring to is your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your computer, not any setting on your iPhone.

  • I'm not a programmer but want to know if this is possible with the SDK?

    Hello, I'm a photographer, not a programmer but I'm looking for a solution to automate what I do twice a week with Adobe Lightroom...I need a plugin that will do the following:
    1) Take a set of photos and Randomize the Order (i.e. mix them up not A-Z or Z-A or by rating, etc)
    2) Apply certain develop presets that I choose randomly to some of those photos
    3) Export& Upload the photos to a facebook group or fan-page
    I already have a plugin which does task #3 so really having something do 1&2 is all I need but if it's possible to do it all with one plugin then that would obviously be better...
    Can this be done?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Off the top of my head I can't think of an SDK provided mechanism to modify
    the user sort order (item 1 in your list). I'm pretty sure the rest is
    achievable.

  • Can this be done with css rollovers?

    Hi,
       I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 on a Windows PC. I understand the basics of css rollovers where you change the background image position up or down but the text used will still end up being a common font that will suit every pc. What I'd like to do is use an uncommon font in my navigation bar. I made an image in photoshop that had two versions of a word like home for example one on top of the other like you would for a css rollover but once I created a link I had the link color border around the image, so it didn't work. Here is a link to a website that is similar to what I'm trying to do http://www.inksmithtattoo.com/. Look at the navigation, can this be done using css rollovers? If not how do you think it was done? Is there a way to use uncommon fonts in a navigation bar? I even did some research on using Dreamweavers hotspot function but found that there were issues in using it for navigation. I'm getting pretty familar with Dreamweaver but I'm not that good at coding so if anyone does have any ideas please include some keywords that I can google and read more about what your trying to say, links to the info would be even better but I realize that if your as busy as I am you can't take that kind of time.
    Any ideas or help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you to all,  dluthier

    That site is using images only. It is not a text based link:
    here is the css they are using:
    #navAbout a {
    -moz-background-clip:border;
    -moz-background-inline-policy:continuous;
    -moz-background-origin:padding;
    background:transparent url(../_img/navAbout-Home.gif) no-repeat scroll 0 0;
    left:473px;
    top:318px;
    As you can see it is an image only. See the attachment with this post. Also since it is a background image it won't show up if you right click on the so seemed text
    Please install firebug or webdeveloper plugin if on Firefox and you will be able to inspect the elements and know what exactly they are.
    Hope it helps

  • Develop streaming data processing applications in C# with Stream Computing Platform and Storm in HDInsight. Can this be done with Visual Studio Community sign up?

    Hello,
    I am a  student and love the Visual Studio Community 2013 to implement some of my research projects. I am currently working on a project that involves streaming data analysis. I found this article ( http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/hdinsight-hadoop-storm-scpdotnet-csharp-develop-streaming-data-processing-application/
    ) but do not have MSDN subscription (I cannot afford it)  as required in the article. Can this be done somehow with Visual Studio Community 2013 sign up?
    Thank you all in advance for your time and for your help.
    J.K.W

    Hi,
    I just confirmed that the key with Visual Studio Community is that, although it is free like Express, it does not have the limitations that Visual Studio Express had. So, to answer your question, Yes - you can do all your development work as a student with
    VS Community 2013 sign up. You can also refer to this blog for more details -

  • Bookmarking video: Can this be done with QT server?

    I am considering a hosting service that has QT streaming.
    I'd like a capability similar to DVD chapters for my on-line video, with links in the description under the video that will go to a specific time code or bookmark on my video.
    Can this be done?
    Thanks,
    Cris

    I did look up the LiveStage web site to see what that is all about. The example sites were all VR, panoramic, displays all of which is very impressive but not what I need. I couldn;t get your movie to display properly, so I didn't see what is supposed to do. I do thank you for pointing me toward something I hadn't seen before which is totally cool.
    Many quicktime movies I have found on the web which claim to be streaming are really progressive download. I can't position the cursor ahead of what has already downloaded. Those that actually do stream and buffer well will allow me to jump about anywhere on the time line.
    When I drag and click or simple click somewhere on time line using the controls of the Quicktime browser plug-in, the movie will buffer and start playing at the chosen location.
    Obviously, there is communication with the server. I just want more control over than communication. I'd like to be able to send a command to the server telling it to go to a particular frame or time code and start buffering and then playing from that specified time.
    It seems so obvious. I can't believe that there isn't a script to do this.
    There are Apple Scripts that control navigation in Quicktime Player, scecifically "Move to X in front movie" Apple Script. It works with Quicktime Player on files stored on my computer.

  • Can this be used with the iPhone?

    ok, im bored at work, on a sunday, came accross this in a magazine...looked kind of cool...wanted to see if it worked with iPhones...
    i may have missed it, but i didnt see it mention how it worked with a cell phone...
    anyone or any car audio guys(or gals) know anything about this?
    www.C3autopageusa.com

    It's a small possibility something like that could have a potential of working with the iPhone.
    I forget but 4 to 5 months ago back when people announced Apps coming to iPhone. I did see some cool development of applications that would allow you to control things from the iPhone. But this was based I think on stuff in the house possibly the car. I really wish I had the link to what that story was. But anything is possible with the SDK. So well see

  • Can this be done with Spry?

    I've got a page that has some menu items displayed in a Flash
    movie. (See this page
    http://www.lunchboxes.ae/offices/samplemenu.php
    for the example).
    Can this be done using a Spry dataset that can be changed
    using Contribute ultimately rather than editing the Flash movie
    every time?

    Hello,
    You should try to look deep in to the source of this:

  • Can this be done with flash

    I need to generate a chart using flash or flex (im not sure
    which) on the
    server side and output it as a jpg?
    can this be done? can somebody point me to the right
    direction
    Thanks,
    Tem

    You mean using data from the server? Flash, and Flex, run
    client side, but
    can pull data from a server - and make a graph. I don't know
    Flex, but it
    wouldn't be too hard in Flash. AS3 is better for outputting
    as a JPEG, but
    it can be done in AS2 as well.
    There are many tutorials for loading data into Flash, just
    Google things
    like 'Flash XML' or 'Flash Database'. I'd also recommend
    looking at AMFPHP
    http://www.amfphp.org/) an
    alternative to Flash remoting that makes calling
    server-side functions, and passing data, a snap.
    For image export, search on 'Flash image output' - here's one
    to get you

  • Can you do that with the SDK?

    I have a question concerning the SDK. In a project, we want to automate some Editing-Functions and the "Premiere_SDK_Guide.pdf" leaves some questions:
    1) Is it possible to write a plugin, that read pathes from ressources (for example Images and Audio from an XML-file) and put these at specific places on the timeline?
    2) With video- and audio-transitions?
    Even if the above is not possible, than can you automatically:
    3) Set Chapter-Markers?
    4) Export to Encore or directly as a DVD?
    Thanks in advance,
    Hans

    Hi Hans,
    1) For this I would recommend you generate an FCP XML, which can be imported into Premiere Pro.  The SDK doesn't provide control over project items.
    2) You can see supported transitions and effects here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WSd9957a95a81082eb28f05af5126718c47be-800 0.html#WSd9957a95a81082eb28f05af5126718c47be-7ffd
    3) Markers in the FCP XML can't currently be imported directly as Encore Chapter markers, but once the markers are brought in, it is fairly simply to switch them from regular markers to Encore Chapter markers.  Bringing them in directly as Encore Chapter markers could be a good feature request, if you decide to use the FCP XML route - http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
    4) Triggering an Export to Encore is not something a plug-in or external application can do.  But by generating the FCP XML in advance, that should save a ton of time with the editing up front.

    Zac
