Create an outline path from multiple intersecting paths

Despite thinking this should be easy, I can't quite figure it out.
I've drawn some text using a graphics tablet and brought it into illustrator CS6.
This has several "internal" paths whereas all I need is the outline path which can then be filled in with a colour.
I've tried cleaning it up but without any success.
A simple example is an "X" which has the intersecting section as two long rectangles. Slight more complicated in my eyes is the top right corner of the X.
A more complex example is the "a".
How can I tidy this up and end up with just a path representing the outline? In searching on the web, I did notice a new join tool, but it's only in CC whereas I'm still on CS6... Join and trim paths | Adobe Illustrator CC tutorials
Thanks for any suggestions.

tfboy,
As I (mis)understand it, for each letter you may simply select both/all paths and Window>Pathfinder>Unite.
If you have any open paths making trouble, you may select each and Ctrl/Cmd+J to close it first.

How to create a pdf file from multiple images ?

Dear All,
I want to create a SINGLE page pdf file from two or more page size images that are combined to make a single page pdf. Again, this question is on pdfs that are made out of several, atleast two color images and a black-and-white mask for one of them.
I have such pdf files from an unknown source (the producer is edited out) whereby there are three tiff images, obtained using the well known pdfimages extractor.
When I want to make a pdf out of tiff or png or other image formats, I right click and tell Adobe Acrobat to make a pdf.
However, I dont know how I can give a command to select say, three tif images and specify which is the mask for which and then join them in a way that I get the pdf from the composite of the two color images and a mask for one of them.
Please help me out.
I am a little familiar with the pdf structure skeleton and when necessary, fixed xref tables in one of my favorite editors. A few years ago, I also wrote a bunch of javascripts to make some annotations and needed some automation and used some itext type libraries. However, I need your help in this problem as I am now rusty and forgot some of what I studied to solve my earlier problems. This is a new problem for me. Gentle hints from you would be very nice to help me in this problem. Please specify if necessary what manual and pages to read. in the pdfspec.
Best Regards

I would gladly mention that I am working on windows platform, preferably XP.

But adding other products, for the help of an adobe products user,
even if it outside adobe, shall add greater prestige to your company
and give impression of user-centeredness.

Well, just add the few pdf stanzas since you are proficient on it and
I am presently a little rusty as I mentioned. Just asking a little
extra yard, not even to go an extra mile.

Well, ascii format or uncompressed format that is human readable. I
know its a binary file, but human readable ascii version of it.
I hope you can give me some stanza and various other approaches
possible so I can select or combine things for myself. I see only a
miniscule number of posts claiming to have written masks in this forum
and then with no details.

How to create a Sales order from multiple quotations?

Hi All,
Please tell me how to create one sales order from multiple quotations?
Regards,
Maddy

Hello Maddy,
To create the sales order from multiple quotation, you should put the value "F - Only at item level: Always with selection option" under Quotation determination in your sales transaction type.
It will give you a pop-up to choose your quotations item while creating the sales order.
Some per-requisites are there:
1. Copy control should be maintained between your quotation and sales order.
2. Quotation should be error free and should have the status "Released"
3. Sold to party and Organization should be same in both transaction.
For more information you can check the below link:

Does OBIEE has ability to create a single cube from multiple data sources?

Hi all,
Does OBIEE has the ability to create a single cube from multiple sources and does it has the ability to join multiple cubes?
Looking forward to ur reply.

Hi
OBIEE can join multiple data sources to make a single data model, but it's not a cube in the multi-dimensional sense like Essbase or Oracle OLAP.
To be able to join datasources together they need to have a common dimension or FK relationship depending on what the source is and what you want to do with it.

Creating one Sales Order from Multiple Quotes

Hello
We are using SAP CRM 2007.
I believe in CRM we can create one sales order from multiple quotes. We have a requirement where we need to create one Third party sales order from multiple Quotations.
I have Item cat for Quotations and Sales Document maintained correctly.
I also have copy control where ZQUO and ZSAL are maintained correctly. Where I have maintained settings for copying Transactions as well as Item Category.
But when I go to CRMD_ORDER and retrieve quotes and try to do a follow on doc for sales doc , only the first Quote gets added into follow on document.
Can someone tell me if I am missing any config?
Thanks

hello,
in sap ui we use control button and select multiple quotes and then
create the sales order as follow up as we have follow up button.

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.

Automate creating single PDF file from multiple documents

Hi everyone ! I am testing the Adobe XI version, especially because I need it for a very specific function.I haven't found it yet, maybe you guys can help ?
Basically, I need to make a user friendly system, that in one click will create a single PDF document from multiple files :
To be more precise : I have in a folder on the network 25 different documents (Word and PDF mainly). Some of these documents change weekly. What I need as an end result is a single PDF, that combines these 25 ones in a specific order, and the tricky part is I need to automate this so that someone with absolutely no knowledge of Acrobat can perform this task, with just a click.
I have found of course the procedure to manually build such a combined PDF, but as you can see it does not fulfil my needs.
So that's it, as simple as that
As a bonus question : I am still struggling with the construction of these documents : in the Word documents I use, there are both internal links within the document, and links between the documents (pointing to other Word files, or PDF files). I keep losing those links when I combine, is there something I am missing ?
Second bonus question : I would like to have multiple levels of signets, but for some reason all my signets are at the same hierarchical level. Anything I am doing wrong ?
A free electronic doughnut for anyone giving me a hint !

When you combine you have many PDFs together in one, new PDF. Your orignal links are from one specific file to another specific file. A combine does not change the link in the original file. So the link is now from the PDFcombined to the second specific file. However, "second specific file" won't be present - so, "broken link".
Be well...

Create Trigger to Delete from multiple tables

Hello:
I'm trying to write a trigger which will allow me to delete from multiple records. I have two tables where the record for the same client_id needs to be deleted.
Is it possible to do this? I started writing some code and this is what I have so far:
create or replace trigger app_t1
before delete on <table1> ?? -
for each row
begin
delete from client where clientid = :new.clientid;
delete from key where pk = :newclientid;
end;I'm stuck on the line where I have "before delete on" where I'm supposed to provide a table name. I can only use one table and I need to delete from two.
This trigger is supposed to be used within APEX. In APEX, fields are designated as :P1_clientid where P1 references page 1 of the application. Yet, :P1_clientid is set to the field clientid in the table.
So when I write my trigger, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to set my variables.
Can someone help?
I'm also going to post this into the APEX forum.
Thanks.

It's not clear to me if you are just trying to keep two tables in syn or whether you are trying to achieve something else.
A couple of points though:
- In delete database triggers the :new attributes are NULL. You probably mean to use the :old attributes.
- Is there some relationship between the two tables? If so, setting the foreign key to CASCADE DELETE might do the trick for you.
- Another option - better than a database trigger in my opinion - is to just code a procedure that deletes from both tables and call that one from APEX.

Rob.

How to create one clean image from multiple shots?

I tried searching, but I really don't know how to search for this so I came up empty.
I have multiple pictures of the same product but had to focus on different parts to get those parts in focus. As you can imagine, this meant other parts were out of focus.
I seem to remember during one of the "CS3 is cool" seminars I attended that something along the lines of what I'm hoping to do is possible.
I would like to merge these images together to form one image with everything in focus. Exposure is the same on each of them.
Is this possible (and if so, how) or am I dreaming?
Using PS Extended.

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. I'll give those a shot and see if they work enough. If it looks like it'll take too long right now, I'll just try to find a better angle where I can get it "good enough" as I have many more pictures I need to take of cables and wires.
Super fun.
To answer some of the questions posed to me:
I looked at photomerge, but that looked to me like more of a way to make panaramic (sp?) pictures from multiple shots. I may tinker with that a bit though as it's something I'd like to use for other things as well.
I don't need this very often so this would not be a common practice, but if I knew how to do it, that would open some more options for me and I'd likely do it more often but still not regularly.
It's not a super closeup, though I've had need of this operation on those in the past; wound up just shooting differently and settling for second or third best.
I don't use what anyone would call a photo studio. It's a 4x8' piece of styrene tacked to the wall and a fold-up 6' table in a room with flourescent lighting (please try to restrain your laughter). The company's camera, while decent, is very old: Sony DSC-D770. This is why I bought my own Sony DSC-F828 2-3 years ago. Not the best but much better (the tiny-to-sometimes-larger purple haze around most edges is what bugs me the most). And my setup is just my camera on a tripod. I'm not fooling myself about my skills at photography; I'm very small-time, but I still need my shots to look good.
(Out of respect for actual photgraphers, I don't even call myself a photographer. I "shoot product photos" or "do product photography" which still sounds a bit too lofty, but....)
The product itself is the Velleman TLM12, a test tweezer for SMD devices. I'd like to get a "long" shot of it but that angle makes the tip and leads get out of focus in most shots and they're tiny so it's really noticable. I can get every part in sharp focus in 3-4 shots, but not in one at the angle I'm hoping to get.
I use a macro lense when I need to get big pictures of 1" connectors and the sort, but this is way too big for that and the macro has a very small area of what would be in focus so this problem would be compounded far more than I'm experiencing now.
I think layer masks might be the quickest way to achieve what I'm trying for here. Like I said, I don't need this often but if I knew how, I'd do it more frequently and might even create an action to do this faster.
Thanks again, everybody. HUGE help. :)

Create XML (using DTD) from multiple relation tables

Hello and thank you in advanced.
I'm trying to create an XML document, based on a specific DTD, by selecting information from multiple tables in the database.
Is there a tool (in XDK maybe?) that will allow me to map my relational tables to a specific DTD?
I could build the XML manually, but I was hoping that Oracle has already solved this problem with an automated tool.
Thanks again,
Sean Cloutier

Is that the same thing as me writing an XSQL document which contains all of my queries (or views).
In other words, do I have to map everything by hand or is there a tool to do that for me?
thanks again,
Sean

Creating a single pdf from multiple pdfs - linking to original pdfs

I have been asked to create a PDF document from other, smaller PDFs. The individual PDFs, which I am using to create the larger PDF, are maintained on a shared network drive. I am using Acrobat Pro XI and dragging the files onto the thumbnail navigation pane and creating bookmarks. The result is to be a navigatable document with a table of contents. My problem is that the individual files from the network drive will change. Ideally, I would like the large document I am creating to update automaticaly when the individual files are changed. Does anyone know of a tool I can use to link in this way? I have Tech Comm Suite 4.
Thanks,
Mary
