Color swatch lost from client's file

A client submitted an indesign file which she converted from cs7 (pc) so I could open in cs6 (mac). She insists she created a certain color swatch in her palette but when I opened her file, the color was not in the palette.

Can you describe or send a link as to how to save the save the swatches?
Use the dropdown menu from the Swatches panel and select 'Save Swatches'. This would also be the same location for loading them once the client saves them.

How to create a swatch library from multiple png files?

Illustrator CC
I am having a difficult time trying to create a new swatch libray of patterns from multiple png files. The way I am doing this is very slow and repetitive and seems silly for a tool as advanced as the latest CC suite including illustrator.
What it seems I must do is open all the png files in Illustrator, creating multiple workspaces, drag one png file into the swatch window, then save that window as a library, close the existing window to reveal the next png file, open the user library I just created, drag the next image into the currently active swatch window, then drag the previous swatch/s from the user library into the current active swatch window, resave and replace the user defined swatch library (now with two images in there)fromthe updated current active swatch panel/window, close the existing workspace to reveal the next image file, and then repeat the process again, slowly building the user defined swatch library up by adding one image at a time and then adding back into the Swatch panel the previously built up library of swatches again one at at time. (you can select all from the existing user defined library and drag over into swatch panel, but this creates at least one duplicate on each cycle for as soon as you click on the first swatch in the library, it adds itto the current swatch panel and then when you select all swatches to drag across it includes the first swatch and copies it again)
This is a very slow process to build up a swatch library. For some reason you cannot drag swatches directly into the user defined library you have created, only into the active swatch window for each workspace. I searched the web and forums for answers but could find none. There must be an easier way, just can't find it.
Ideally, the best option would be a swatch window option that allows the import directly from a list of selected files in the finder.
Any ideas out there?

Monika,
Thank you for responding, however I am not exactly clear on what you mean by "libraries are plain AI files". For example, I cannot find a file with the same name as my user defined library name that I have created. I can find the preinstalled swatches listed under Adobe Application Support... Library... Swatches, but a user defined folder is not present and the library sets that I have already created are not visible. I have tried searcing my Mac for a (name).ase file and still no luck (at least for the name I was looking for). I can open the user defined library from the Swatch library icon on the bottom left of the Swatch panel, but when I open this I cannot drag and drop add new swatches directly to this library. As stated above, I have to add each pattern, one at at time to the normal swatch panel, then add back the previous ones I have saved from the user defined library to the swatch panel and then save threm all as an updated user defined library. Thus by repeating this process, it builds up the user defined library one at a time.
I am using Illustrator CC if this makes a difference.

Hide Colored Labeled folders from 'All My Files' search criteria

Okay so I use my MBP (running Mac OS X 10.8.2) for both work and at home. I don't like my work files showing up in the "all my files" area (drives me crazy because i'm constantly using them at work so that's all it shows) and I am trying to figure out a way to hide them from the search criteria. I have labeled all my work files with a 'Green Label' and I was curious if there is a way to hide only the items marked with Green.
Any help would be nice.

'All My Files' doen't even show pdf and doc files that I know are on my machine.
Maybe should be called 'Barely Some of My Files.'
I went into 'Search Criteria' and put in only one criteria line, searching for "any" file of "any" type.
This seemed to work.

Loading colors and attributes from an external file?

I would like to provide someone with an application as a SWF, but allow them to set the colors of items upon deployment.
That is, provide them with an XML file with the colors specified in it, perhaps like: <texbox textColor="#ff0000" background="#ffff00" />
How would I best approach this sort of strategy?

Audio lost from dragging MPG file?

I have some MPG files, 10 second or less clips from our Sony digital camera, and I can't figure out how to get the sound into iMovie. All I want to do is rotate the mpg 90 degrees, and I figured out how to do that with Simple Rotate from cfx, but now there is no audio. If I go to "Import" from iMovie, the raw MPG files are dimmed out so I can't open them. If I drag and drop the clips, they are there but there is no sound. And if I try "Extract Audio" iMovie crashes. This is iMovie 3.0.3 on a laptop running 10.4.5
G4 PB 15 Alu, G3 PB Pismo, G4 AGP, PB Duo 230... Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi Sean - welcome to the forum!
MPG files have to be converted to DV for the audio to be heard in iMovie. iMovie is designed for that format, not MPEG. Have a look here:

XMP metadata lost from PNG files after saveing

Hello,
i am using Photosop CS3 SDK. through my plug-in I put some metadata in the file using XMP SDK 4.4.2.
For PNG files, if the file is modified and saved, all the XMP metadata is lost from the file.
The following steps are being done.
1. Put some metadata in PNG file using SXMPMeta::SetProperty and SXMPMeta::AppendArrayItem
2. modify the file (changed brightness, contrast, flattened the image).
3. Save this file.
After saving all the xmp metadata is lost from the PNG file. This works for all other formats.
What can be wrong that I am doing?
Is there any other way to put XMP metadata in file?
Thanks,
Hitesh

That's probably because PNG doesn't save or read XMP metadata.
There really aren't standards for metadata in PNG. (though a few products have tried adding it in ad-hoc ways, without documenting their efforts)

Color swatch file has radically changed!

Hi,
About a month ago I created a color swatch file of our new company "colors." I put the swatch file (*.ase) into all the respective directories for InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop. Well, here it is a month later and I tried loading that file. And, everything's gone! When I load it, no changes at all take place in the swatches palette. One thing I had to do in the past month is to delete InDesign 5.5.1 because some of my plug-ins weren't working. So, during that time that I was on 5.5 I never tried to access this swatch file. But, when my plug-in vendor updated their software, then, I re-loaded InDesign 5.5.1. I don't think that has anything to do with this problem. But, anyway, this was a lot of work.
Thanks,
Peter

There's a lot here that's not clear.
First, version number would be 7.5.1 I presume? That's the latest patch for CS5.5.
Is the .ase file missing altogether, or is the color mode differnt, or is it just different in appearance? That last could be casued by differnces in color settings from document to document or version to version.

Js import colour swatches from an other file

Hi all
I am trying to import the colour swatches from an other file into the current document.
I was hoping this would be just like importing Par or Char Styles...
... app.activeDocument.importStyles(_theFormat_, sourceFile, importPolicy);
But I have so far had no luck.
Can anybody give me some hints.
Thank you very much
Romano

Hi Romano,
Can you please try the below JS code, The code is just import the swatches from the desktop document onto the active InDesign document.
var myColorDoc = new File("~/Desktop/color.indd");
app.activeDocument.loadSwatches(myColorDoc);
thx

Matching PMS Color from Client

This may be a newbie question, I am a video & photoshop guy.
Anyways, a client has requested a logo in a PMS color. I know where the color swatch libraries are, but there is no library named PMS, there are tons of Pantone ones for coated, uncoated, ect.
Is there a search function to the pantone colors? They specified "PMS 192 Red". Says nothing of coated or whatever I just want to know how on earth do I find that actual color?

Ah, it took me a while to find this! Here is a little more how-to:
From the Swatches Palette, open the drop-down menu, then....
Open Swatch Library\Color Books\Pantone (coated or uncoated, or whatever else you want)
THEN go to the drop-down menu again and select Large List View. All the color numbers show up. WHEW!

Copy file from client PC to server in a web deployed application

I have developed one application using Oracle forms 6i, which is deployed on the web server.
I run this application from a client PC in Internet Explorer using internet.
I want to copy one file from the client PC to the web server.
I have done following things
- Created a shared folder on the server and given full rights to every one on this folder
- I use 'net use' command in my program to connect to this shared folder
- I use copy command to copy file from local client pc to server. This copy command I am executing using host command of my programming (PL/SQL: eg. host('copy abc.txt \\server\share\') )
But this does not work.
When I do the same thing in command window, it works.
(ie. Start-Run cmd to open command window and then type the above copy command)
Can you please tell me, how to copy a file from client PC to the sever in Web deployed application?
Thanks

I downloaded D2KWUtil from the link suggested by you. It has very nice example demo form. But the documentation provided says following
Using D2KWUTIL in Web Deployed Applications
The use of this library is not supported with Web deployed applications.
In a web deployment scenario not all functions within D2KWUTIL will work. Any function that interacts with the User Interface (such as those in the WIN_API_DIALOG package) will fail.
Any interaction with the O/S by other functions will all be executed on the NT server and will act within, or return information pertinant to, the environment on that machine. For instance GET_COMPUTER_NAME will return the Server’s name, not the name of the computer that the Client browser is running on. Likewise COPY_FILE will copy files in the Forms Server not on the Client.
Functions such as those in WIN_API_BITOP will continue to work without change.
so this will not work in web deployed application.
Any other suggestion?
Thanks

How to find out a file from client machine

hi all,
I want to read a file from client machine, like a outlook express file in which all the address are saved, using servlet. Initially i do not know the file path for that file, How i can read that file.
plz help me
thanx in advace
Manish

You have 2 possibilities. First, you might be able to mount the client's disk drive at the server; the servlet can then access that drive directly. Second, install a client program on the client machine and communicate with that program, and have it do the search (or whatever).
Outside of Java, there are remote-access programs - like PCAnyWhere.

You can use cos.jar provided by O'Reilly from http://www.servlets.com/cos/. Take a look at com.oreilly.servlet.multipart.* classes.
Package is provided with source, classes, documentation and, of course, ready-to-use jar file.
It is really usefull and - ready!
