Can CFX_Image work on a Mac server? It's running coldfusion,
but I don't
know if we can register the dll on the Mac...

  • CS5 converting .eps files

    I discovered, much to my horror, when I first began using CS5 that when I created an .eps file in Illustrator that my files were being converted to Photoshop .eps files. Using the Get Info window, I had to change the option in the Open With box back to having it open in Illustrator, where it was created.
    The advice I was given at that time was to click the Change All button to have all .eps files open in Illustrator. When I did this, it changed all the .eps files that I had created in Photoshop to Illustrator files.
    I had created some Grayscale images in Photoshop to put them into a layout. The last time this file went to press, I had not changed all the files over in the Get Info window yet. Recently, after checking the box that now made all my Photoshop files Illustrator files, there was a problem with the printer because Illustrator does not have a Grayscale Color Mode option, so my Grayscale files were now CMYK. This got me in a lot of trouble at work.
    Is there any reasonable solution to this other than changing each .eps file to open and be identified with the native file? I have hundreds of .eps files.
    Has this been corrected in any subsequent versions of CS?
    Thanks

    The most reasonable solution I've found to is to purchase an inexpensive utility which can control appication opens common file types in the application you like:
    Soxy | Rorohiko Workflow Resources
    From the web page:
    "Soxy automatically determines the type of each file you open and then directs it to the most appropriate application.
    "There’s a problem when a computer has multiple versions of applications installed (like Adobe® InDesign®, QuarkXPress®, Adobe Illustrator®, Adobe Photoshop®, etc…). Opening a file will often cause the wrong application version to launch."
    I don't work from them, I'm just a happy customer.

  • Convert .eps file to .jpg or .pdf

    Hello,
    I'm using Adobe to deal with .eps files.
    My problem is to display graphic arts in "read only mode". That means when I'm done developing graphics in my .eps file, I want to display this graphics to other user without giving him option to edit it or delete it.
    I'm trying to accomplish this true Visual Studio 2005, C# .net
    Does somebody have any suggestions?

    John,
    I'm using COM reference Adobe Photoshop 9.0 Type Library in my project. This Library includes methods like "Export" (expect parameters: string ExportIn, object ExportAs, object Options) or "Save as" (expect parameters: string SaveIn, object AsCopy, object ExtensionType) , that I don't know how to use it properly.
    Please let me know how to implement those things.
    Thanks!

  • Batch convert EPS files to PNG

    I have many eps files which I need to open in Fireworks, select the items, apply script commaneds and save back down again as PNG's. I need to retain the vector graphics and layers.
    Problem is the Fireworks Batch tool doesn't recognise eps files so I can't run them through this.
    Has anyone got a solution for this?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Problems converting eps to PDF in Distiller - claims "file is in use"

    Hi,
    I've recently starting having a problem in Distiller (the version that same with Acrobat 9). When I try to convert EPS files, I get the message "Cannot open the file. The file is being used by another process". This is a new problem, only a month or two ago it worked fine. The only thing I can think of that may have changed is
    a) Adobe Reader was updated, I believe
    b) in an effort to speed up my computer, I tried removing a number of items from my startup. But I've put them all back in, I think. Here's what's running (although I did start Acrotray manually, and it seems to close when Disteller closes.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi, Bill,
    Ok, well, the problem is still here. I have updated the program. Created
    new eps files that have never been open in Distiller (or any other
    program) .When I try to use Distiller, I get the same message; Cannot
    open this file. The file is being used by another process."
    i have copied the directory to another drive - no change.
    Possible clue: If I try to delete a file from Distiller/File/Open, it
    again tells me that the file is already open and so can't be deleted.
    How strange that it would think the file is still open. It does this
    after a fresh boot, when my first action after booting is to open
    Distiller and try to convert an EPS file.
    I CAN combine the EPS files within Acrobat by using Combine/Merge files
    into a single PDF. But of course that's horribly slow and only an
    emergency solution.
    Using Acrobat 9 Pro version 9.2.0
    Windows 7 professional service pack 1
    16 gigs of RAM
    Here's what's running:
    any more ideas?
    Thanks!

  • How to convert EPS(image file) file in to other image format e.g NIGMAS

    Hi friends,
    I want to make a tool which will help to convert the EPS image file into other image format BY USING JAVA TECHNOLOGY. I havent done this type of file conversion before, so any body please explain it to me from the basic how can i go for it, what r the require things, where should i get the help of it, which java API should i use etc. i ll be vry thankful.
    My actual requirement is i want to convert the EPS file into the NIGMAS(Nihon computer graphic mapping System) file format.
    Thank you in anticiption.

    The easiest, but not necesarily the best, way is to use ImageMagick's convert utility. From Java you can use Runtime.exec to invoke convert.exe ... ImageMagick is opensource and supports many different formats ( www.ImageMagick.com )
         * Converts an eps file to a graphic that is suitable for the web.
         * We use ImageMagick's 'convert' utility to convert .eps files into either gif or png format.
         * The output format is determine by the extension that you set for the output file.
         * Sample command:
         * convert -density 208x208 /export/home/kpmg/tomcattest/jsp/1.eps
         *                                    /export/home/kpmg/tomcattest/jsp/1.png
         * Although convert supports about 100 different parameters, we are only using 1:
         * -density     (sets the vertical and horizontal resolution in pixels of the image)
         * Density sets the vertical and horizontal resolution in pixels of the image.
         * It should be changed based on the resolution of the user's monitor
         * (e.g. if hi-res display settings, then density will need to be greater
         * than if running on a low-res display, which would make the same image look really big )
         * You may want to use other convert parameters, such as -sharpen
         * to make the image look better, or -compress and
         * -quality to change the kb size of the image.
         * For the full list of parameters see:     
         *      http://www.imagemagick.org/www/convert.html
         * @param inFile The absolute path to the eps file to be converted
         * @param outFile The absolute path to the desired output graphic file.
         *                         NOTE: the format of the output file is determined by the
         *                         extension that you give for this parameter (e.g. file.png will
         *                          be written as a png file )
    public void eps2www(String inFile, String outFile, String density) throws Exception
              // use ImageMagick's convert program to make the www version ( png or gif, etc)
              String call = convert +
                        " -density " + density +
                                  " " + inFile +
                                  " " + outFile;
              try
                   Process child = rt.exec( call );
                   child.waitFor();
                   log.debug("Convert process exit code is: " + child.exitValue() );
              catch (Exception e)
                   // TO DO: this could probably be more explicit
                   throw new Exception(e);     
              // log the command strings for debuggin purposes.
              log.debug( "Convert Successful: call = " + call);
         }

  • Adjust page boundary when converting eps to pdf

    Hi, I have a problem with the page boundaries when converting eps files to pdf files. The resulting pdf page boundary is the bare minimum around the eps objects, leading to different page sizes when the pdf is viewed on screen. I would like all of my pdf objects to have the standard letter (8.5 by 11 inch) page boundary. Furthermore, when the pdf is printed the size of the objects is not to to the same scale as the eps file (which was created in adobe illustrator), and the orientation of the picture is often rotated to what is displayed on the eps or pdf file! Can anybody help me with this problem?

    I opened Distiller from the regular programs menu. I have a job settings file selected that has a 8.5X11 size. I opened a 5.5X7.5 EPS file in Distiller and it creates a PDF with the image at the bottom of the 8.5X11 page. You can also simply open the PDF that you already have and print to a new PDF -- selecting expand to fit if desired.

  • Unable to convert text file to PDF

    Hi,
    Using Adobe Pro 9 Distiller on Windows 2008 64bit server. So far using Distiller to convert .eps files to .pdf with Standard job options file. I need to convert a .txt file to .pdf and am not able to convert using any of the OOTB job options settings that came with Distiller product installation.
    Below is the Distiller output when I tried with Standard job options settings
    %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: MBLDxxxx-03.rpt ]%%
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    Can anyone please provide me settings or job options file settings to convert reports in text format to PDF? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the quick response. I was able to generate the PDF using the Adobe PDF writer by opening the text file. Not an issue on 64 bit platform. The .NET application using Distiller to convert eps to PDF via Distiller and moves it over to a watch folder. Another application picks it up and bursts the large PDF to individual PDFs. I need to automatically convert txt to PDF and submit it for burst. Looking for ways to leverage Distiller to automatically convert the txt to PDF. Is it possible? Thanks.

  • How do I convert an eps file to a PLT file?

    Hi,
    I need to convert some eps files to a PLT  to use on my laser engraver. The engraver program is PC based and won't accept the eps files. I can use jpg but I think I would get a clearer result if I kept it as a vector base file.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  • What are my options for opening EPS files in Elements 13? What is the best way to convert these to another type of vector file?

    I "upgraded" from Photoshop Elements... uh... mad old... to Elements 13 when my work computer got "upgraded" to Win8. Now I can't open EPS files which is how I receive collateral from our ad agency. What other vector files will work, and how can I convert EPS to these? Please be gentle if this is a stupid question - I know enough to be dangerous, but I'm not an expert at design by any means. I'm just frustrated because this isn't quite the "dead" file type that Adobe thinks it is. What was the point of upgrading if I'm pretty much left in the lurch?
    Thanks to any and all who can help! Much appreciated . -ASI

    What's important to understand is that Elements is a 'pixel' editor, not a 'vector' editor. As such, it has very limited 'vector' capacity (fonts, shapes...) What you are missing from older versions is the ability to convert vector items to standard pixel image file. To be able to open and work on eps files, you'd need Adobe Illustrator, which seems overkill for your purpose.
    So, your options are:
    - to request your ad agency to supply pdf format images instead of eps ones. My guess is that eps is beeing largely superseded by pdf, but I am not sure...
    - Use external tools to convert from eps to jpeg; a Google search would return free softwares like Irfanview or web based conversion.
    - You might want to keep (or reinstall) older Elements versions just for that purpose.

  • How to batch convert .eps into .ai files?

    Hi everyone
    I have over the years gathered a huge asset library of all kinds of graphic design assets. Now I need to put this into a system and I want to use Bridge since I'm a freelancer and can't afford another system (my library is over 40GB).
    My problem is that lots of the files are in .eps format (bought in bundles etc.) and I can't stick keywords and more on them in Bridge.
    So I've been looking all over the internet for the last two hours trying to find a way to batch convert 100's (if not 1000's) of .eps files into .ai format (preferably the CS4 version - I got Creative Cloud, but I also work in CS4 with some clients still).
    I have not found an answer I can use yet Some talk about a script and show lines of code, but I don't know how to create/make/save/install a script from pure text so it does not help me.
    Preferably it would be possible for me to make a folder called "eps" and a folder called "ai" and then just put every file into the "eps" folder and then I can sort them afterwards.
    Does anyone know a solution to my problem?
    In advance thanks for all help and suggestions

  • How do I convert a .EPS file into a .SHP file (Shapefile)?

    Hello all,
    I have an .EPS file of custom regions that I need to convert to a .SHP file for a map in Mapbox.  Is this possible?  If so, how?  Any help you can provide will be much appreciated.  Thank you.

    Larry,
    Thanks for all of your help with this issue I was having. 
    We were able to import the image into Mapbox by converting it into a GeoTiff file using Python.  Though this was achieved, the image did not work in the way we wanted it.  In the end, we decided to grab a shapefile and created layers that replicated the image we wanted to convert.  If we had more money in our budget, I would have most certainly suggested that we go the ArcGIS route.
