Can you remove XMP data from .eps files in Illustrator-CS5.5?

Background:
I'm using font software called Typetool 3 and Illustrator CS5.5.
I am using these on Windows 7, 64 bit.
This is entry level font software released by Fontlab.
This software accepts artwork through the .eps file format in both theory and practice.
However: it refuses illustrator CS5.5 .eps files.
When I looked at this I came up with two highly interesting things: First- CS5.5 illustrator files are roughly 13 times the size of CS5 files, of this type (a simple font glyph-comparing a 29-30 kbfile to a 420-450 kb file in cs5 and cs5.5 respectively).
Thing two came from looking at what that data was (by opening it in a text editor). It appears that some of the data XMP data, illustrators data for tracking things like who created the file, copyright, and other. In document info many of these fields were blank. I'm sure this isn't the only issue because my exported xmp data is 64 kb large, but it does account for a chunk of the file.
The main question being: Can this xmp data; which for my purposes is redundant, because I have to put copyright and other data in the font, be removed or not included at the point of document creation?
The technical question being:Can the file be saved in a manner which will allow it to be exported from adobe CS5.5 and imported into Typetool 3?
Things I've tried:
In saving .eps file: removing document headers, previews, color data, saving as different versions of the language. Basically saving it without all settings.
In saving .ai file: saving without any settings checked (without compression, pdf editting, ect.) and saving it to a different level of illustrator.
I do not know enough about postscript programming to navigate the file or remove the offending data. Nor do I have time to do this over multiple glyphs.
As a matter of opinion I do not like that my software is including potentially identifying information (which is one of the intents of XMP data, to provide identification) without notifying the creator, let alone allowing me to keep it from doing that. I would not mind or bother-except for the fact its messed up an established workflow. If someone editted this data without my knowledge, say with a virus or heaven forbid manually, it would be also be bothersome. Having a check that identifies that I am sending this data out would give me something to know if this situation was in fact happening. Additionally for a situation like mine-communication between programs in a closed environment where no other users are involved, its unnecessary and wasteful... like putting gold rims on what is intended to be an oxcart.
I'm planning on going to Fontlab for later this week, as it is as much thier issue as it is Adobe's. From what I know XMP is both a useful and popular technology- having a workaround for this situation seems like it would be a good idea. If necessary I can attach some working files for comparision.

I would save it as EPS (version Illustrator 3). This should be compatible to almost any software that takes EPS.

HT5557 how can you remove all books from books purchased file

how can you remove all ibook from purchased file

When I connected my iPhone, it automatically synced right away. I did click on the iPhone button and saw the contents of my iPhone including the Books. When I clicked that 'Books' button. But since the book in question was not on my iPhone, it did not show up in the list so I could not select it like you suggested. Therefore I could not sync that book to my iPhone. Thanks for the help though.
The good news is I did manage to get the book on to my iPhone.
When her book came out for preorder about a year or two ago, I looked for it in the iTunes store and preordered it. About a week after it came out, I found what was basically the same book for a dollar more. ($7.99 and $8.99) I figured there must be something additional (features) in the $8.99 book. So I bought it too. As far as I could tell though, they were exactly the same. So I decided to hide one of them so they would not both show up in my Library. Anyway, I went to my iTunes/iBooks account and managed the hidden books area. I unhid the Demi book and then it showed up in my iCloud to download on my iPhone. Now they are both on my computer so I need to figure out which one is the other one and hide it. So then I can delete it from my computer just have the one that is on my iPhone on both systems. But at least I found a way to get a copy on my iPhone.

AE not reading all the XMP data from DNG files

I'm working on a very large time-lapse for a construction company - I have a sunset that is broken between two folders and rendering the folders seperately makes Quicktime unhappy during playback and I get an ugly jump in sunset exposure.
So I combined the two folders in Lightroom (LR) from my RAW files (NEF) and exported the entire sequence as DNG files with simpler numbering. The sequence is about 1560 files and constitutes about 22 GB of data. I created a new LR library from the DNG sequence to make sure it all looked good and it does.
I imported the same DNG sequence into AE, checked a few frames in the preview and sent it out to render. Two thirds of the way through the QT movie, exported in H.264 at 30 fps, I start seeing problems. Huge sections look like the XMP data has not been read, then there's a good section and then bad again. I matched the movie time to preview in AE and indeed saw the same problems in the AE preview. So the problem begain in AE's reading the files from the folder, not in rendering.
I went back to LR for file comparison. There was no problem in LR. All the DNGs look great.
I'm on a MacBookPro Retina with 2.8 GHz Intel processor, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Ram and NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB graphics
I have the standard 69GB cache on an external drive and have 11GB RAM available for AE.
Installed CPUs =8
CPUs reserved for other apps = 2
RAM allocation per background CPU = 1GB
Actual CPUs that will be used = 6
I have the latest AE from the Adobe Cloud, although I haven't done the most recent update yet.
My thought was to break the folder up into smaller segments for rendering, but that's not the problem. I see the XMP hasn't been consistantly read in preview. To me it doesn't make sense that the folder is too large for preview because it's not even rendering it there, just reading the files...?
Any insight, solutions?
Thanks,
Dennis

Hi Andy,
I dunno how best to get extracted xmp files into the raw folders, but if you are comfortable with exiftool, you can use it to extract xmp sidecars from DNG files.
If you want a turn-key solution which does not required you to futz with exiftool, then consider a free plugin I wrote:
robcole.com - xEmP
It will allow you to create xmp sidecars with all your DNG adjustments and metadata (which can then be applied to the non-dng raw files).
However, if you won't need the DNGs in your catalog afterward, then the easiest way is to convert them back to proprietary raw format using this plugin (also free, and I wrote it):
robcole.com - UnDNG
Conceptually, you can think of it as converting the DNGs to proprietary raw format, but note: it doesn't convert anything, it just allows existing raw files that are NOT in the catalog, to replace the DNGs that are in the catalog. All adjustments and metadata and everything else will be preserved (just like when you convert a proprietary raw to DNG format).

Removing Incorrect data from .xml files

How do I remove info in the .xml files.
When I 1st got my kit it read my fastest km as 4.55mins/km
This is way too fast as my average is 6.00mins/km.
Because the info is incorrect I am not getting congratulated by Paula or being able to improve slowly as I will never get to 4.55.
HELP

Haplogroup k,
I think you have understood me. The file was created
when the unit wasn't callibrated and recorded a false
reading which was way too fast for me and a lot of
runners also.
I want to post best results now that the machine
works right.
Most people have said that they were amazed by how accurate the Nike+ was right from the box without calibration. But I'll take your word for it.
I can get to the .xml files but it won't delete
records, that's all I want to do.
I don't know what you mean by "it won't delete records." Are you talking about your Personal Bests? No you cannot edit that fle. But you can delete a run from your Nano.
However, you can save all your run data to your computer hard-drive, then RESTORE your Nano. But that will also wipe your calibration data and everything else (personal bests). I guess you could then recalibrate before doing any runs. Then put your old run data (your old xml files) back in your "latest" folder.

How do you remove EXIF data from a video shot on an iPhone5s?

I'm trying to remove location metadata from a video of my daughter before posting to YouTube and can't figure it out. I tried opening the video in Adobe Premiere and Bridge and both don't display the location data for some reason, they fields are just blank. But I can see the locaction data if opened in Quicktime or iPhoto, but neither program allows you to edit the EXIF data for some reason. And any app I find seems to only work on photos and not videos. Any thoughts? I'd love to upload this video without revealing our exact location. Thanks.

Can Not Remove "with" Data from Calendar Event Details

I currently have a Palm Tungsten|E2. For a short time I used to sync it with my work computer; this was before they replaced the computer (lease was up) with a new one where it was locked down and I could not reinstall the Palm desktop. Since then I have been syncing it with my home computer that runs MS Vista. Just recently I have noticed that when I create new Calendar events on my Palm, they all get a new "With:" data line (and a user from my old job) after sync'ing with my home computer. Selecting this "With:" entry brings me to a screen that allows me to select from a list of people I may "Done", "Reply", or "Reply All" to; although selecting either reply only causes a fatal error that requires a soft reset (button on back of machine). Looking at the event through the desktop software shows no data point so that it may be cleaned.
I would like to know why my desktop software is adding this person to a "With:" data point to all new entires I create on the Palm hardware, how do I turn it off and keep it from doing it in the future.

Are you sync'ing the new device to the same username in Palm Desktop as an older device?
If you are, this will cause problems on the new device. When you sync the device, it saves the device settings, 3rd party apps, preferences, etc. in the backup folder in the username folder on the PC. When you sync the new device it copies the contents of the backup folder for the old device to the new device. This will cause corruption in the settings for the new device thus causing erratic behavior of the new device.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
Looks like you may need to hard reset your device and rename your backup folder. Go to http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887 and follow the directions to do a hard reset. Next before you hotsync your data back over you will need to rename your backup folder, to do that go here;
XP
C:\program files\palm or palm one\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Vista
Start-->documents\Palm OS Desktop\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Then hotsync to your current hotsync name and all your contacts, calendar,
tasks, and memos will come back over.

If you can not view file extensions on your PC I would like you to open a

Open control Panel go to Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden

How can I remove safari data from shared iCloud account?

Before iOS 8 and family sharing I was using a single iCloud account shared among several Apple devices in my household. Now that we are all using our own separate Apple Accounts I want to delete shared data from other devices that were using my iCloud account. For example, my wife and I both have data synched with iCloud (the same account) for Safari. Now that her phone has been switched over to her own AppleID, I want to purge the data stored in my icloud account from her device. When I open Safari on my phone, I can see a list at the bottom of tabs that my wife had open on her phone at one time in the past. That list will never get updated now that she is using her own account. So how do I purge old data from other devices off my iCloud account?

If she's on a different account now, Safari data from the previous account should no longer be on her device. iCloud tabs, on the other hand, will persist from a device that is no longer sharing the account for 14 days, after which they are automatically cleared. (This is coming from iCloud, not from her device.) You might try waiting a couple of weeks and see if they aren't automatically removed.
If you're still concerned, you could always ask her to go to Settings>Safari and tap Clear History and Website Data. This won't clear her iCloud tabs from your device though; you'll have to wait for that.

How can you remove old conversations from the iMac. Even when I remove them they return when I start a new conversation with the same person. Only happens on iMac with the Beta iMessage program

How do you remove an old conversation using the Beta iMessage on an iMac. When I open a new conversation with the same person the old conversation comes back

Hi,
Previously iChat had tried a Last Chat/IM option when using Saved Transcripts - which itself was an option.
iChat has also tried "Saving" the Last Chat by leaving a Chat window open and using something similar to the Lion method of showing an app in the state is was closed in.
In Messages the option to Save Transcripts has been removed and Chats or all types are saved as a matter of course.
What this tends to mean for your iChat style Buddy Chats is that it opens all the Transcripts for that buddy as a sort of History you can scroll back through if you want (I have some Buddies with saved chats gong back to 2004)
With the Syncing of iMessages with iPhones and iPads (or Touches) then it seems this works slightly differently.
Although you can delete the chat and the contents of the Chat as separate action it is true that in the Beta as soon as you connect to the same Contact that the contents of the previous chats are shown to you.
I have found that Messages stores a data base of info on iMessages in Your Home Folder/Library/Messages
I have found that deleting this chat-db removes the "History" that keep popping up.
By default the Saved "iChats" are also stored in the Home Folder/Documents/iChats (At least this is the default place iChat used and they go to the same iChats folder where ever you had it)
Some people claim removing iMessages saved here stops the "History" reappearing.
In Lion the only access to the Home Folder/Library is via the Finder's Go Menu and hiding down the ALT key

Can you restore the data from an iPhone 6 if it has water damage?

i want to know if i can get all the data that was on my iPhone 6 that has water damage.

No way to tell until you try. If the water damage was severe enough
to prevent the iPhone from starting up, then the answer is effectively no
(see next paragraph).
Companies specializing in data recovery may - emphasis on may - be
able to recover some data. Attempts are very very expensive and there are
no guarantees. Google/Bing/Yahoo/etc should assist in locating such companies.

Can you get User Data from a XI/PI System ?

Hello All
Can you with GRC 5.3 use PI as a User Data Source?
How?
Thank you

Hi Kristian,
for the AC 5.3 system user store itself or for the user details / user search you could use SAP ABAP, SAP UME, LDAP, etc.
Short: yes, you could use the ABAP user store of PI.

Can you use Sync data from a few days ago?

I was reinstalling Firefox 10, did the whole back up thing, and when i was importing my bookmarks, I accidentally overwrote it instead. So i don't have the bookmarks anymore, and I turned to the sync function, but seeing as I have never used the sync function before, I overwrote that as well. So my question is if there is a way to get sync data from a few days ago?

Printers do not normally have any memory of previous print jobs; the exception is that some more expensive models (but not yours) are fitted with hard disks which can, in some circumstances, retain certain print jobs.
The Windows spooler can be set to retain copies of print jobs, but as this is not the default situation, it is unlikely that your jobs will have been retained.

How can you copy form data from an online PDF, in your browser?

Just a quick query, I've recently filled out an online application and I filled this out on an online PDF form. This is the form link:

How can I copy the data I typed into this form, to a word document for example? Or is there any way I can save this as a PDF with all the data in the form, to send it as an email?
I've downloaded the form, but it just shows blank pages with no fields filled.
Thanks very much!

download the form to your local disk

How can you create a swatch from a jpeg in Illustrator CS4?

I am trying to create a jpeg image into a swatch in Illustrator CS4. In previous versions you could simply drag the image into the swatches toolbar and it would convert it automatically. Now when I do that nothing happens. When I click on new swatch it creates a colour swatch instead of the actual image itself.

When you say you would drag the image itself into the Swatch Palette and it would show the image itself? How would then use this swatch? Can you give an example of what you would apply a jpeg to as a swatch? The only palette that I can think of off the top of my head that you can drag a jpeg into and have the icon appear as the jpeg is the Symbols Palette. Is is possible that you were using the Symbols Palette in the past and not the Swatch Palette?
