Cannot export path to illustrator

I am using CS3 and am trying to export a path to an illustrator file.  I started with an 8bit black and white image and made a path from a selection. When I go to File > Export the export option is greyed out and not selectable.  Any ideas on how I can open this option?  I have tried to use Save as to save the file as a .psd prior to export but the only options it gives me is a .tiff and a .raw.

At least for me in cs3, the export menu or the export paths to illustrator option
is never greyed out (when an image is open), even when there aren't any paths in the image.
So your problem is probably something else. Did you try resetting the photoshop
cs3 preferences?
This is what i get when using export paths to illustrator on an image that doesn't have any paths.

  • Is export path to illustrator the only way to get a psd w/ clipping path to show up in Illustrator?

    I'm wasting time having to place my image in Illustrator then manually line up the clipping path. You used to be able to save a file with a clipping path as an EPS in photoshop, select "retain vector data", place in illustrator and hit cmd Y to see the clipping path. I need the image and the clipping path in Illustrator and the image is too complex to create a mask in Illustrator. I tried to save it as an EPS but "retain vector data" is grayed out.

    If you relink your embedded image again, so that the image inside your illustrator layout will reflect changes of the source image, the clipping path remains. A very nasty bug of Illustrator, upon a colleague of mine stumbled upon during an Illustrator Training he held.

  • Export multiple paths to illustrator

    Photoshop CS5
    Is there really no way to export multiple paths, on multiple vector layers, to Illustrator in one go?

    What did you do to get that option to be available? I don't see it. All I see, in the "Export paths to file" dialogue is the path I currently have selected. But I have many vector layers I want in Illustrator (which I've already one by one copy/pasted into Illustrator, but I still want to know).

  • How can I export an Adobe illustrator CC .AI file to a DWG or DXF file suitable for SolidWorks?

    Hi
    Can anyone help?
    How can I export an Adobe illustrator CC .AI file to a DWG or DXF file,  without SolidWorks enlarging the file & converting every curve into hundreds of short little straight lines rather than a single continuous line/s.
    I have made sure the file is ungrouped or has any compound paths or colours.
    Opening it in Autocad 2010 still converts the DWG file into hundreds of short little straight lines!
    The file is needed to laser cut out an aluminium shape using SolidWorks 2008 (Metal soft)?
    Formats they can handle are:
    DWG, DXF, IGES, IGA
    There must be a way to export it without re-drawing the whole design in Soildworks again!!??
    Can anyone help?
    INCA

    Not really. This is a limitation you will have to live with. Unless you are extremely careful, most paths will be converted to polyline segments by AI and in particular in AI CC this is somehow busted, so it happens more often. You might have much more luck opening a native AI file in DraftSight or a 2D CAD program like TurboCAD and exporting a DWG or 2D IGES/ STEP file from there. The sizing issue is a different matter, but without knowing what units you actualyl used, nobody can advise.

  • Exporting Paths in Photoshop CS4

    Hello,
         My artists open hundreds of images a day and create paths on that image then export the path to an illustrator file for use with a laser system.  In all previous versions of photoshop when you export a path to illustrator in photoshop it would default back to the folder that you opened the image from.  CS4 does not. It just tries to save it in the last folder you saved something in.  Is this a bug or something that was left out of CS4?  I would be upgrading 20 machines to CS4 but this is an absoulute deal killer having to waste time on every image to navigate back out onto the server to find where the original image is located.
         Any suggestions?

    That is an awesome tip!  Thanks.
    This still doesnt help though because the folders change on a daily basis.
    I will definatlly be using this tip though to set up some resources shortcuts in that dialog box.

  • CRVS2010 Beta - Cannot export report to PDF with unicode characters

    My report has some unicode data (Chinese), it can be previewed properly in the windows form report viewer. However, if I export the report document to PDF file, the unicode characters in exported file are all displayed as a square.
    In the version of Crystal Report 2008 R2, it can export the Chinese characters to PDF when I select a Chinese font in report. But VS2010 beta cannot export the Chinese characters even a Chinese font is selected.

    Barry, what is the specific font you are using?
    The below is a reformatted response from Program Management:
    Using non-Chinese font with Unicode characters (Chinese) the issue is reproducible when using Arial font in Unicode characters field. After changing the Unicode character to Simsun (A Chinese font named 宋体 in report), the problem is solved in Cortez and CR both.

  • You cannot export the request at the movement -while releasing the request

    Hi.. Experts
    Today, we had message from our functional consultant that When he is trying to release the TRANSPORT REQUEST (not tasks) he is getting the error  " You cannot export the request at the movement "
    After 2 / 3 hours, we discovered file exists in Transport Profiel directory
    " /usr/sap/trans/bin" directory Fine Name :   T_OFF.ALL
    After removing that file - The request releasing were happening normally.
    In this juncture, Even though the issue is fixed ,
    We would like to learn how this file got created  and which transactions / which configurations will create this T_OFF.ALL file and stops all Transport releases
    Thanks in advance

    This file T_OFF.ALL has to be created manually in the bin directory to basically stop release of any transport request from all systems. No transaction creates it .

  • Get-Item: Cannot find path ' ' because it does not exist. While running Powershell script.

    I am trying to run a PowerShell script to upload files into a SharePoint site in an Azure environment...the script works fine on my local machine, but every time I run it in Azure (remotely), I get errors. Here is what my simple script looks like...
    if ( (Get-PSSnapin -Name Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null )
    Write-Host "Loading Sharepoint Module "
    [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint")

    if ( (Get-PSSnapin -Name Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell) -eq $null )
    Write-Host "Failed to load sharepoint snap-in. Could not proceed further, Aborting ..."
    Exit
    #Script settings
    $webUrl = "http://sampleWebUrl"
    $docLibraryName = "My Documents"
    $docLibraryUrlName = "My%20Documents"
    $localFolderPath = get-childitem "C:\Upload\Test Upload\My Documents\" -recurse
    $contentType = "ContenttType1"
    #Open web and library
    $web = Get-SPWeb $webUrl
    write-host "Web:" $web
    $docLibrary = $web.Lists[$docLibraryName]
    write-host "docLibrary:" $docLibrary
    $files = ([System.IO.DirectoryInfo] (Get-Item $localFolderPath)).GetFiles()
    write-host "files:" $files
    If ($contentType = "ContenttType1")
    #Open file
    $fileStream = ([System.IO.FileInfo] (Get-Item $file.FullName)).OpenRead()
    # Gather the file name
    $FileName = $File.Name
    #remove file extension
    $NewName = [IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($FileName)
    #split the file name by the "-" character
    $FileNameArray = $NewName.split("_")
    $check = $FileNameArray.Length
    #Add file
    $folder = $web.getfolder($docLibrary.rootFolder.URL)
    write-host "Copying file " $file.Name " to " $folder.ServerRelativeUrl "..."
    $spFile = $folder.Files.Add($folder.Url + "/" + $file.Name, [System.IO.Stream]$fileStream, $true)
    $spItem = $spFile.Item
    write-host "Success"
    write-host "SP File:" $spFile
    write-host "SP Item" $spItem
    #populate columns
    $spItem["Column1"] = $FileNameArray[0]
    $spItem["Column2"] = $FileNameArray[1]
    $spItem.Update()
    $fileStream.Close();
    Again, I can run this on my local machine and it works just fine, but when I attempt to run it on the Azure environment I get this error...
    Get-Item : Cannot find path 'C:\powershellscripts\12653_B7045.PDF' because it does not exist.
    At C:\PowerShellScripts\Upload-FilesIntoSharePointTester.ps1:32 char:42

        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetItemCommand
    What strikes me first is the fact that the file its looking for is in the "C:\Upload\Test Upload\My Documents\" directory, but the error keeps saying "C:\powershellscripts\" which is where my script resides and not the files I want to
    upload into SharePoint. When I step through the code, all the variables are holding the correct values. The $localFolderPath shows the name of files that I am attempting to upload, so it recognizes them. But once I step through this particular line of code,
    the error occurs...
    $files = ([System.IO.DirectoryInfo] (Get-Item $localFolderPath)).GetFiles()
    Is this an error caused because I am remoting into the Azure environment? Has anyone dealt with this issue before? I would really appreciate the help. Thanks
    Update: quick thing I noticed is that these two lines of code are returning null values. Again, is this handled differently in Azure or remotely? I ask cause this is the way I know how to do this, locally.
    $docLibrary = $web.Lists[$docLibraryName]
    $files = ([System.IO.DirectoryInfo] (Get-Item $localFolderPath)).GetFiles()

    "...square brackets are wildcard characters in Windows PowerShell..."
    When you use cd without a parameter it uses the -Path parameter. In this case you'll have to escape the square brackets so they are not considered wildcards. Each of the commands in the first example does the exact same thing.
    cd 'Learn PowerShell `[Do Whatever`]'
    cd -Path 'Learn PowerShell `[Do Whatever`]'
    cd (or Set-Location) also has a literal path parameter (-LiteralPath) that does not require using an escape character (`) before each of the brackets. Hope this helps.
    cd -LiteralPath 'Learn PowerShell [Do Whatever]'

  • InDesign CS3, Cannot Export (greyed out) or Print

    HELP!! I am having trouble Printing and Exporting in InDesign CS3 only(mac osx), I can Export and Print on all other Adobe programs that are installed on my computer.
    I can also still create a PDF through the Adobe PDF presets, but cannot EXPORT or PRINT!!! Under the File Settings, Export is Greyed out, while Print is Black, but nothing happens when clicked.
    Any ideas???... My printer driver is working good as I print to 3 printers at the moment and make pdfs of a regular basis and this has never happened before. It just seemed to happen out of the blue when I turned my computer on one morning. I've been working the long way around for now, but now need it fixed desperately!!!

    The classic question is what were you doing just before this? Programs usually don't stop working for no reason "out of the blue," so most likley something else has changed on your system.

  • Cannot Export some pictures in Iphoto 09

    Hello!
    Somehow, I cannot export some of my pictures to folders,... I did work before.
    Anyone knows what to do?
    Thank you!

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    Regards
    TD

  • Cannot export slide shows with iPhoto 9.6 and OS 10.10

    Hallo!
    I upgraded to Yosemite last Friday. Everything seems to work fine only iPhoto 9.6 makes some troubles. I cannot export any slide shows. When I click on "export" the small window opens as always before, the first pic is shown in this window, after that the window disappears and nothing else happens. iPhoto doesn't crash, but it also doesn't export any slide shows.
    Does anyone have an idea what the reason could be?
    Thanks and best regards from Klosterneuburg/Austria
    Andy

    Some folks have fixed this by reinstalling iPhoto:
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
