Convert text path back to regular path
I accidentally converted a path to a text path. I searched the forum for how to convert it back to a regular path. The answer I found said to select the path and hit Command+C+F. This gives me another text path! I now have at least 6 copies of the path in my files but they are ALL text paths and none are visible with a stroke. Any ideas?
The "disconnected paths" element is confusing. Is this file an ai file, or is it possibly a pdf? If pdf, then there may be NO type path to select, as pdf often places each letter as individual type elements. Is this what you are experiencing? If so, locate the originating AI file.
To select a type path using the Direct Select tool (if it is indeed a type path), on Mac, hold down the option key while clicking on the path (away from the type itself).

I used createOutline() to convert Text to Paths. However, the return is a GroupItem and I had difficulty in changing its stroke and fill colors.
Here is my script:
var docActive = app.documents.add();
var textFrame = docActive.pathItems.rectangle( 0, 0, 200, 20);
var areaText = docActive.textFrames.areaText(textFrame);
areaText.contents = "Hello My Friend";
areaText.textRange.characterAttributes.size = Math.round(20*0.85);
var textOutline = areaText.createOutline();
// Trying to change stroke and fill colors of textOutline but got stuck here...try this, I added comments next to each line
var docActive = app.documents.add();
var textFrame = docActive.pathItems.rectangle( 0, 0, 200, 20);
var areaText = docActive.textFrames.areaText(textFrame);
areaText.contents = "Hello My Friend";
areaText.textRange.characterAttributes.size = Math.round(20*0.85);
var textOutline = areaText.createOutline(); // this is a group
var compoundPaths = textOutline.compoundPathItems; // each letter is a compound path
for (i=0; i<compoundPaths.length; i++) { // loop thru all letters
var compoundPath = compoundPaths[i]; // this holds one letter at a time
var pathItems = compoundPath.pathItems; // all pieces (pathItems) of the compound path make up each letter
for (j=0; j< pathItems.length; j++) { // loop thru all letter parts
var pathItem = pathItems[j]; // this holds one letter piece at a time
pathItem.fillColor = docActive.swatches[5].color; // fill it with the 5th swatch
pathItem.strokeColor = docActive.swatches[4].color; // stroke it with the 4th swatch -
[Ai CS4] So I cannot convert compound path to regular paths?
I have some complicated shapes done with the pathfinder tools, and I need to use the gradient mesh on them. But I cannot, because they are compound paths. I cannot seem to find a way to convert them to regular paths. I am almost 100% sure that there must be a way, because Illustrator :hopefully: won't expect me to redraw those with a pen tool. Or hand-draw them, scan and trace.
Guidance pleaseDoh! I guess I found my answer, a minute after I post the question.
The problem was, I was punching holes using the "Minus Front" tool. Because there are no connection between two object's paths, Ai cannot make a single shape out of them.
Workaround:
Pick the line tool
start from the inside the hole
drag end point to outside of the shape
and make "Divide everything under"
Easy for the fill-only shapes, but will get a bit more complicated if I use strokes...
Other tips are also welcomed.. -

HOw to create a text file in the given path and delete it after the use?
Hi all,
I am trying to create a text file at the given path and delete the created file after the use.
I am using following code.:
import java.io.*;
// write binary data as characters
public class RanIO {
public static void main(String f[])
// First illustrate append
String lineSep = "\n";
try {
File temp= new File("C:/Ash","cute.txt");
boolean ch=temp.createNewFile();
if(ch)
System.out.println("file created");
else
System.out.println("file Not created");
//writing to file
/* PrintWriter p = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("cute.txt",true)));
p.print("Emp NO");
p.close();*/
// Open fileWriter in append mode
FileWriter fos = new FileWriter(temp, true);
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fos);
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(fos);
double d=550;
// lineSep = System.getProperty("line.separator");
pw.print("Hello");
//pw.print( lineSep );
pw.print( d );
pw.close();
boolean det=temp.delete();
if(det)
System.out.println("File deleted");
else
System.out.println("File not deleted");
} catch (IOException ioe)
System.out.println( "Append IO error:" + ioe );
My problem:
1)
I am not able to write to the file. I want to know, where i am going wrong.
It is giving error message like
"Canot resolve Symbol: temp,"
But, FileWriter Constructor should accept a File type parameter.
here temp is a file parameter.
If i am not using file=new file();
i can't delete the file after the use. i.e if i use
PrintWriter p = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("cute.txt",true)));
how can i delete cute.txt after the use?
2)
I am not able to write to the text file. file is created but, a blank file.
"Hello" is not written into the text file.
can anyone help me in this regard
Thanks in advance
AshviniThank you Ram,
But, i want to create a text file in Append mode.
for that i used
FileWriter fos = new FileWriter(temp,true); But, it is not accepting FileWriter constructor in
this format. if i use
FileWriter fos = new
FileWriter("c:/ash/cute.txt",true); it works fine. !!!!!Here's the javadoc
public FileWriter(File file,
boolean append)
throws IOExceptionConstructs a FileWriter object given a File object. If the second argument is true, then bytes will be written to the end of the file rather than the beginning.
Parameters:
file - a File object to write to
append - if true, then bytes will be written to the end of the file rather than the beginning
Throws:
IOException - if the file exists but is a directory rather than a regular file, does not exist but cannot be created, or cannot be opened for any other reason
Since:
1.4
Are you using jdk.13 or lower ?
>
ONe more doubt, Does flush method deletes a file?
if not, then i need to use
File temp=new File("c:/ash/cute.txt");
FileWriter fos = new FileWriter(temp,true); //which
is again a problem
if(temp.delete())
out.println("File is deleted");
}I don't know whether i am taking it wrong ! or
anything wrong with my coding ! but, after creating
and writing data into a text file. I must delete it
as it contains confidential informations.
Regards,
Thanks.'flush' writes to a file immediately. Else you should explicitly call 'flush' to write contents from buffer to underlying source.
javadoc again
PrintWriter
public PrintWriter(Writer out,
boolean autoFlush)Create a new PrintWriter.
Parameters:
out - A character-output stream
autoFlush - A boolean; if true, the println, printf, or format methods will flush the output buffer

I am trying to use motion tracking to have text follow a section of the background.The text box follows the motion path, but the text just sits there. What am I doing wrong?
Motion basically looks at the the source footage and it's timing (in the timing section of the Inspector) when analyzing for tracking. Filters are basically ignored by the tracker. Retiming actions, like time re-mapping, or retiming behaviors that are applied before the tracker should be used by the tracker. Did you change the timing after doing the tracking? If so this would also require you to re-track the shot. Understanding that you found a workaround, describing the effects you applied would help to explain why you ran into problems.

How to turn path back to stroke?
i have a line art drawing and have expanded the strokes to paths. now i'd need to turn part of the paths back to strokes and can't find an (easy) way to do it.
inserted is an example of the situation. instead of closed path i'd like the form to be a stroke.
i would really appreciate if anyone could help me.
a.ankkip,
You may (always keep a copy of the original artwork):
1) Cut the outlined path at the Anchor Points where the end rounding of the original boundary of the stroke begins and change to Stroke/No Fill for all the boundary paths;
2) Object>Blend>Blend Options, set Specified Steps>1 and Orientation>Align to Path;
3) Select the two side boundary paths from 1) and Object>Blend>Make (you may need to add one or more Anchor Points to either if the middle step looks funny);
3) Object>Blend>Expand and Ungroup;
4) Select the middle path and give it the right Stroke (corresponding to the distance between the side boundary paths) and Round Cap/Join.
The new stroked path should now fill out and fit the side and end boundary paths. You may need to make adjustments. -

Sives, we love the Edge program and want you to as well! Why do you want to stop it? Maybe we can find a good solution for you. After the 14 day worry free timeframe is over the Edge plan cannot be canceled.

In FW 8 you can use the Magic Wand or Polygon Lasso tools to

In any older version of FW, you would need to use the pen

Latency type changed back to Fast path
I recently had my latency type changed back to interleaving however i now get daily disconnections (usualy when recieving a phone call) and my download speed isnt any better, the only difference is an increased latency of around 10-20ms so i would like to have it reverted back to fast path.

This is what happens when I convert text to outlines. Can someone please explain why this happens and what I can do to fix it? Thanks!
You are welcome. What is most likely happening is whoever designed the font, has some garbage stray points, or an extra copy of the paths underneath.
You will usually see this only on free fonts, and not from a major font foundry. -

How to get folder(directory path only not file path) from local file system
Hi Firends,
How to get folder(directory path only not file path) from local file system , whenevr i will click on browse button.
Please give reply for this one , if anybody knows.
Thanks,
Anderson.Hi Anderson,
if you're using flash.filesystem.FileReference - then it is run in black box - except of filename, size and creation data (and few other properties available after some operation succeeded). This is part of security features in Flash runtime (described in header section):
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/FileReference .html
This for example implies that user can download a content to local machine - but that content cannot be loaded back into Flash runtime. For this you would need either Air runtime flash.filesystem.File:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filesystem/File.h tml
(so you would created Air runtime based application: desktop or mobile but not web, even as standalone project) or you would need one of 3rd party tools that add file access/file information features to standard Flash runtime applications converted to standalone native applications.
hth,
kind regards,
Peter -
Since I have been posting to these forms, I have been annoyed by the conversions that are done to my posts. A word surrounded by asterisks gets bolded. When I decide to make a link to a post, I can never remember the exact format. When I posted AppleScript code, I found that it is squish to the left. The AppleScript I have posted here gets around these problems.
usage: What you need to do is copy the text that you wish to post to the clipboard then run this AppleScript then paste the text into your post.
Robert
This AppleScript program is designed to convert HTML links to forum posts, to convert special characters to their HTML symbols, and to preserve formatting.
1) When the clipboard contains a link to a forum reply page.
The AppleScript forums designers specify a roundabout way for you to reference a particular web post. Here is that way:
a) Find the particular post you wish to reference.
b) Click on the reply icon.
c) Copy the Web address to the clipboard .
d) Run this AppleScript to convert the Web address.
e) Paste the converted Web address into your post.
For example, this AppleScript will convert this Web address:
http://discussions.apple.com/post!reply.jspa?messageID=9003196
into this Web address:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9003196#9003196
2) Assume that the clipboard contains text to convert.
Many of the special characters are used to indicate formatting in the forums.
See "Other formating tags are available as shown below" in
http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa
This AppleScript will converted to HTML these special symbols in order to preserve the original characters. Also, this AppleScript preserves indentation used in programs or Terminal output.
a) Copy the text to the clipboard .
b) Run this AppleScript to convert the text
c) Paste the converted text into your post.
For example, the asterisks will be preserved:
mac $ ls *oup*
Youpi Key Editor.plist Youpi Key.app alias
For example, the indentation will be preserved:

Copy the Web page address from the top of your Web browser page. This is the standard highlight the address then do a command+c
Now you should run my AppleScript program by going back to the Script Editor. Optional, click the words *event log* to see the debug information. Click on the run icon.

Name: alter-clipboard
Input: Clipboard
Output: Clipboard
This AppleScript program is designed to convert a forum-reply web address to a link to a forum post, to convert special characters to their HTML symbols, and to convert programming language code to a form that does not get mangled.
1) When you wish to reference another Apple discussion forum post, I found the process convoluted. The Apple form software does not provide for the display of a form post link. Instead, you must construct the link from a reply post. This AppleScript simplifies the process.
When the clipboard contains a link to a forum reply page, do the conversion.
Here is that way:
a) Find the particular post you wish to reference.
b) Click on the reply icon.
c) Copy the Web address to the clipboard (command+c).
d) Run this AppleScript to convert the Web address.
e) Paste (command+v) the converted Web address into your post.
For example, you:
• Want to reference a post on how to improve the performance of Tiger. You find a post by Texas Mac Man with a list of possibilities.
• Click on the Reply option and highlight the Web address because you know the address contains a reference to this post.
• Type command+c to copy the address to the clipboard. The clipboard now contains:
http://discussions.apple.com/post!reply.jspa?messageID=9124252
• Run this AppleScript to convert the Web address. The clipboard now contains:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9124252#9124252
• Type command+v to paste the address into your new post.
2) Assume that the clipboard contains special symbols or formated programming language code to convert.
This AppleScript will converted special symbols used in these forums to a form not used by the forum software in order to preserve the original characters.
For the symbols, see:
See "Other formating tags are available as shown below" in
http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa#format
An alternative to using these symbols is document in this post:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607563
Also, this AppleScript preserves indentation used in programs or Terminal output.
a) Copy the text to the clipboard .
b) Run this AppleScript to convert the text
c) Paste the converted text into your post.
For example, the asterisks will be preserved:
mac $ ls *oup*
Youpi Key Editor.plist Youpi Key.app alias
