Converting AI files to shapes then extruding - lost my colors
OK...I'm new to AE. I brought in some artwork created in AI. The goal is to extrude each of the paths slightly different heights to create a 3D logo in AE. When I convert the AI file to shapes in AE, I loose all my green color gradients.
So first...does AE not like gradients from AI? If AE discards the color info because they are gradients, How can I fill a shape with a gradient?
Secondly, How can I select each of the different paths and extrude them individually? Do I need to save each path out of AI and import them one by one? ...Seems like a long way around....
Thanks!

So first...does AE not like gradients from AI? If AE discards the color info because they are gradients, How can I fill a shape with a gradient?
Think about it: Gradients in an AI file are the illusion of 3D, not 3D. What you want is kind of an oximoron - you want to use "realistic" rendering based on unrealistic gradient shading. Therefore the answer is that you will have to modulate thjis stuff by tweaking the light and material properties. At this point AE doesn't support any texture mapping that would allow you to just slap on those gradients again.
Secondly, How can I select each of the different paths and extrude them individually? Do I need to save each path out of AI and import them one by one? ...Seems like a long way around....
Similar to the above: The different colors in teh AI file are the illusion of different materials, not different materials. Yes, you need to import and colorize them separately therefore. Generally you need to adjust your thinkling when getting into this 3D stuff. It's a whole different process from working with 2D illustrations.

Hi there,
hope you can help me. I helped my sister convert her window media files to itunes and set up an account for her. Unfortunately her computer is really slow and it was really late and we had to turn it off. It processed some of the album art for the files that it had converted. However, some songs were not converted and because there was quite a few left, I don't really know which ones did not get converted as I selected all of the folders. How do I find out which ones I have left to convert and put the rest of the songs onto itunes for her please? Or are they on the itunes still as they showed up initially on itunes in the list to be converted.
Thank you!You could convert them all again and then dedupe, or use a Windows search to reveal all the WMA files and then try to work out which still need to be converted. If you're lucky iTunes would have processed the imports in alphabetical path order so it would just be a matter of working out where it had got up to...

Bitmap image won't show after converting HTML file to pdf
I have a program which saves a technical report as a HTML file. I don't have another choice as to file type to save as. This program has a template which generates the report....and there are fields which are filled in...some text fields, and one is a company logo. Just to be clear the logo itself is not in the template, a holding place is there which points to the location of the logo on my drive. This is all set up by the program and can't be altered.
If I save the logo as a jpg, png or tiff file, the logo shows up in the final HTML report and if I use Adobe Professional (version 7.0 on Win XP) to create a pdf the image also shows up - a perfect replica of the report is created in pdf, making it convenient for printing and email.
If I save the logo as a bitmap file (which creates a higher resolution and sharper looking logo) the logo shows up in the initial HTML technical report, but when I convert this to pdf the file is not found, instead it shows as a small square red box with the error "Bad file image" or "unable to download image".
I can't understand why this would be the case as the logo is saved in the same location whether it is jpg, png, tiff or bmp. It just seems that the Adobe Pro doesn't know how to "find" the bitmap logo from the HTML template.
I did try converting the HTML document to Word but it threw the formatting out and when it was converted to pdf it cropped the page & I wasn't able to resolve this...maybe it can be done but it is a long way around in any case, particularly if steps then need to be taken to correct the formatting.
At the moment the document can be printed with success from the original format - then it's a matter of scanning the printed document in order to email. It can't be emailed directly because of the embedded information which is lost if then sent to the recipient's computer. However it would be nice if the doc could be converted to pdf which would then make it easier to transfer the file to a backup drive or for email. Any ideas? ThanksThanks for your response. Yes I did mean .bmp files.
The problem is not getting it to show in HTML - but Adobe then picking it up from there. I guess though if it is not a standard format for HTML then maybe Adobe has trouble recognising it if it is there. Also, it is possible for Adobe to convert .bmp files if they are inserted in the HTML file, but I have instead a template with the code for the location of the file rather than the graphic itself. I don't have this problem using the other file formats and getting them into pdf...it's just that the images aren't as sharp as the bmp. I have tried various formats and resolutions so if there isn't a way I can get the bmp from the HTML file into pdf I might just have to live with printing and scanning from the original. Thanks for your input, it confirms what I was thinking. I'll leave this unanswered for now in case someone else has further information. -
Iterate shapes and convert them to Compound Shapes
In order to keep shapes as shape layers in Photoshop when exporting from .ai to .psd, one has to convert all shapes to Compound Shapes.
At the moment, i'm using an action that converts the shape, then selects the shape above. Starting with the bottom shape, i have to click
the action for every shape.
Is there a way to make a script cycle through all shapes and groups, converting them to Compound Shapes?
At the end of the script, it would be nice to have it make an export of the file to .psd aswell.
I'm somewhat familiar to javascript, but i would really appreciate some guidelines in creating this.It okay is, because this will be great learning for our minds! There is a way, to have your Extendscript execute the AHK script which tells it to "send" the F-keys as if it came from your keyboard. The action will go, but I am not very clear on how out of synch the action will be with the script. At first thought , putting $.sleep() may do the trick, especially if your action does not take long & there's not a big chance of it having to take long. Well, anywho, after the time break, it will go do its script thing, which is select the next shape or group (pageItem). And at the end, hey, you can try tacking on the PSD saving using the export with ExportOptionsPhotoshop- but that's later! Qwertyfly... has some examples here of executing an AHK script from the jsx script, check 'em out!

Convert MXF files to MOV files, NO LASTCLIP.TXT in FCP 5.1.4
Hello everyone. I am new to the forums. I have a project I have been asked to edit where the files came off of a P2 Card from a Panasonic HVX2000. The problem is, they didn't copy the LASTCLIP.TXT files off of the P2 Card. So I just have the files themselves. Is there a way to convert the files to .MOV files? I do know about the Log & Transfer, but you need the LASTCLIP.TXT for that. Thanks!!
#38-P2 - Missing LASTCLIP.txt file. How to rebuild.
Shane's Stock Answer #38 - When you offloaded the P2 cards, you forgot to get the LASTCLIP.tct file? No worries, not all is lost.
MISSING LASTCLIP.TXT FILE:
http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=58755
If you neglected to copy the "lastclip.txt" file all is not lost. Much like the six million dollar man, we can rebuild him.
Lastclip.txt can be generated by any text editor. If you are using a mac then open up textedit.
Create a new txt file. It will have 3 lines to it.
The first line is the name of the last clip that was recorded.
Back to the finder. Open up your CONTENTS folder. In there, open up your VIDEO folder. Organize the folder by Date Last Modified. Find the name of the last file in this folder. If you have 16 clips in the folder is will be 0016ag.mxf or something like that. Four numbers and two letters followed by .mxf.
Take this name and place in the first line of your text file. On the next line of the text file type in "1.0" (don't include the quotes).
The third line is the number of clips in the folder +1. If you have 16 clips then the third line should read "17" (again no quotes).
I'm not 100% sure if the number on the third line is the number of clips left in the folder (after any on-set deletions) or if it is the total number of clips generated during this session with the card. Try both. Remember to add 1 to that number.
Your txt file should like something like this:
0016ab.mxf
1.0
17
That's it. You should be good to go. Put your CONTENTS folders in separate folders with separate LASTCLIP.txt folders and import them as separate P2 cards.
The annoying thing is that all of the various .mxf files in these 6 folders are locked items and they must all be unlocked manually to erase them.
It's much easier to import direct into FCP 5.0.4 or higher. It does so without leaving all of these locked files on your computer.

No Sound when converting MPEG file to MOV - Quicktime Pro
Hi Everyone,
Just got my first Mac (MacBook Pro) which I love but I'm having a problems importing MPEG 4 files from my Sony digital camera. They play fine through quicktime in the sony format but when I import into quicktime (or imovie for that matter) then export in a .mov file all the sound is lost.
I see some people have reported problems with sound similar to mine but none appear to be the same?
Any ideas??
Many Thanks
Wes
Ps Running all the latest updates..
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)I am having a similar problem and I see this was never persued any further. I am trying to convert an mpeg file to a mov file using quicktime pro. When I do there is no sound.
Movie info for mov file is: Format is H.264 Decoder, 320 x 240, Millions, FPS is 15, Data Rate is 256.21 kbits/sec.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to quicktime and frustrated from spending hours trying to figure this out! Thanks in advance! -
Convert Illustrator File to InDesign
An outside agency set up some templates in Illustrator that we need to have in InDesign. What is the easiest way to convert the files? Any info is greatly appreciated.
You can place an Illustrator file, but other than scaling, rotating, and cropping the content is not editable in InDesign.
You can place the Illustrator file, set it's transparency to 50%, lock it's layer, then redraw the content on lower layers. Delete the template layer when finished.
You can copy and paste content between Illustrator and InDesign. Basic shapes and simple paths work fine, including some gradients. Text is much more trouble than it should be. (Why call it a Suite if the programs can't share simple content like text?)
I prefer option 2, using as little of option 3 as I can get away with. Obviously complex shapes are better copied than retraced.
There is a
plug-in for InDesign that imports PDFs. I have heard mixed opintions, but it's kind of like a pig with wings. Who cares how well it flies, it's
that it flies that makes it interesting. -
I can not open adobe files that end in .doc. I purchased the 19.99 to convert doc to pdf and I still cant open. I get an error reading.
Hi,
Which Adobe Service did you purchased?
If you have purchased CreatePDF please visit: https://createpdf.acrobat.com/SignIn.html
Sign in with your Adobe ID and password, and then convert your word doc into PDF.
Please let me know if that works.
If you have Adobe Reader, you cannot convert .doc file to .PDF by drag and drop.

Convert multiple files (word docs) to multiple pdf
Hi,
Is there a script I can use in batch processing to convert about 1500 word documents into pdf? I know it's possible to convert multiple files into one pdf, but this is no good to me. Doing these conversions one by one is going to take forever!
I've tried selecting a few documents at a time and then selecting "convert to pdf" from the right-click menu, but each one requires that you tell it where to save, and then opens the file when it is done.
I need to convert Word files on a regular basis for work, and could really use a batch process for this with so many to do!
I have Acrobat 7 Pro (version 7.1.0) on XP Pro SP 2 at work, and Acrobat 8 Pro (Version 8.1.2) on XP Pro SP 3 at home.
If there is anyway it's possible to do this via a batch process I would really appreciate knowing how!!
Apologies if this has been covered in another thread, I searched but couldn't find anything.
Thanks in advance :)I have Acrobat 9 Pro. I can batch convert Word docs to PDFs by doing this:
1. Open Acrobat Pro. Click File > Create PDF > Batch Create Multiple Files...
2. A window will open prompting you to add files. Click Add Files > Add Files... OR Add Folders... If adding a folder, navigate to it, and click OK to add it to the list. You can also select a bunch of files and drag & drop them into the Add Files window.
3. Once you have all the files listed that you want to convert, click OK. A new window called Output Options will open. In this window, select your preferred settings. For me, I want all the new PDFs to have the same filename and be in the same folder as the Word docs, so I choose these settings:
4. Click OK, and then the batch process will begin running. You will see Word opening and closing. However, you won't have to click Save or anything. You can run it unattended. The process takes a little while, so I usually set up a batch to run, then go to lunch. Once finished, you should have all your new PDFs:
Hope that helps someone! -

Error when trying to convert excel files to pdf
I'm getting the following error when trying to convert .xls and .xlsx files to pdf, using the "Create PDF" option:
Error message from the primary converter:
ALC-PDG-010-012-PDFMaker reported an error while printing the document.
Word, Powerpoint and Text files convert without any issues. Also I'm able to opent the excel files and convert them to pdf using the acrobat option in excel.
Livecycle Version: 10.0.2, GM
MS Office Version: 2007
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Suhail N.It is always difficult when you need to convert multiple xls files to pdf or multiple sheets to pdf. If you have a single file to convert then the best method would be to copy your data to doc file and then convert it into PDF . If you have multiple files to convert then it is really difficult to convert all the files manually. Then the better method would be to use converter tool to convert excel to pdf . By doing this you can convert many files in just few seconds.

Batch convert Pages files to Doc and stay in the same folder?
Hi there,
I use iWork '09 on Mountain Lion. I recently switched to Microsoft Word and prefer it over Pages (personal preference). However, I have nearly 1000 files on my computer that are in Pages format. I have extensively searched this issue in the Apple Support Communities and it appears that there are scripts that DO EXIST that batch convert Pages files into Word files. However, it appears that many of these scripts were built for older versions of iWork and therefore I run into various errors. For example, I used the script available at http://pagesfaq.blogspot.com/2008/01/export-folder-to-word-rtf-pdf-txt-or.html and click run but nothing actually happens (the script runs for less than a second, then I can click run again). I was able to use one script successfully (pasted below), but the only reason I can't use it is because it saves ALL my converted documents in one folder on my desktop and I would like a script that can save them in the original file were the Pages document is located.
So, is there an iWork '09 compatible script that can convert my Pages documents to Word documents and save them in the same folder as the original? Oh, and for an added bonus, it'd be cool if the script also deleted my Pages version after it was done with the conversion

Batch convert Pages files to doc and pdf. -
I have a MacBook Pro, I want to copy Itunes files to an SD card to play in my car, the SD Card doesn't appear in Itunes when I insert it, and I don't know how to convert the files to the correct format, can anyone help?
Thank youSo it seems from reading the COMMAND manual that my first issue is that I used a 16GB SD card, and the manual says it will only recogize up to a 2GB SD card. I did use my MB Air's SD card slot and crated a folder and dragged the music files to it, then to the card. So I am going to get a 2GB card and try that next. Otherwise just stick with the iPOD connected. At least that is 8GB

How do I tell if I have already paid for a membership? When I try to convert a pdf file to word, it looks like it is processing the task, but then I can't find the converted file when it says view converted file. Huh? Adobe is on my mac dashboard, I have had an account but can't see the results . . . thanks.
Hi subscription question,
I've checked your account; it looks like you tried to place two separate orders this morning, but it doesn't appear that either went through. However, it does sound as though you've been able to convert a file successfully. What happens when you log in to your account at https://cloud.acrobat.com/files? Do you see your converted file there? All converted files are automatically stored in your online account, even when you convert from within Reader.
Best,
Sara
