EPS and AI formats

I have a number of .EPS and .AI graphic files I would like to use, and I'm hoping someone can recommend an Adobe product that will allow me to do this.
I also understand that Photoshop Elements no longer supports these formats; is this correct?

Illustrator CS5 Not the Default for EPS and other Vector Formats

Hey everyone, the issue I'm haveing is not just with Illustrator, but sense I couldnt find a general CS5 forum, and Illustrator was the last CS5 application i noticed this for I'm hoping to find some answers here.
So on to the issue....
I have noticed that on other computers (Macs for sure) that Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver etc... are set as the default handlers of certain file types that are associated with each application, and as such, give each filetype there own little icons reflecting such.
However on my system (Windows 7 Ultimate x64) this does not seem to be the case. I can go in and set them as default manually, which I have done for the filetypes I use most frequently, but I do not get to enjoy the nice icons that made for each filetype, i just get a bland, default icon that is the same for every filetype.
Is there a way to fix this issue?
Thanks for you help.

Yes, I think i mentioned it before that I knew I could set the default app through Explorer (right clicking, going to "open with" etc..) but this doesn't let you use any of the custom icons that come with the adobe applications, it sets it as the default icon associated witht he particular application. I'll take a look in the properties when I get home but, but I think you may be referring to the "open with" dialogue.
Most applications like Firefox, iTunes etc.. have a button in there preferences menu to "set as default" for all file types they can open, however I don't see such an option in any Adobe applications except for bridge, and that doesn't seem to do anything.

Subject: Illustrator CS5 Not the Default for EPS and other Vector Formats
I believe in the properties pane for one of those files it will display the default app for opening such files and you can change it there as well and make it apply to all similar files.

Spot Color mismatches between EPS and PDF files

Recently I created a file in Illustrator CS6 with several Pantone color swatches. I used the CMYK color mode set to the Coated GRACoL 2006 color space. I saved the file as an EPS and we printed our test samples on our large format printer. After reviewing the print I saw the colors were off. The grey color showed up green.I then opened up the exact same EPS file and simply saved it as a PDF. We ran the PDF on the same printer, using the same material and profile and the color was completely different. This time the grey colors came out grey (correctly). We tested this twice and came up witht he same color differences between the EPS files and the PDF files. Why would an Illustrator file produce 2 different colors if saved as a PDF versus an EPS?
Also, I sent these files to another prepress person in our company and he printed them on our proofing printer. The EPS printed slightly differently than the PDF. He then opened the PDF file in Acrobat and saved it out of Acrobat as an EPS. After this, he printed the new EPS file created from Acrobat and it printed the exact same as the PDF file (correctly).
This leads me to believe that the problem is in the way Illustrator saves EPS files. Has anyone else seen this problem?
Thanks for any and all help with this very perplexing issue.

I will speak from CS3.
The current PDF format if 1.7 exported out of Photoshop supports vector elements as independent objects, but you can't edit them correctly out of Acrobat because Photoshop reads the data as a flat file and drops the vector data. Basically the workflow is not finished being developed. Also, Transparency is broken within the PDF file format at this time. It will support Spots though correctly.
PSD and TIF support Transparency and Spots, but vector objects are rasterized due Acrobat reading the flat version of the file.
When Photoshop wrote its own PDF format and not the corporate PDF flavor that we now have, PDF's would support Transparency correctly.
I would assume that Transparency and vector objects would be addressed in the next release, but that is to be seen.
There is no best practice except don't do it.

InDesign exporting to PDF - .eps and .ai color issue

I've been reviewing a lot of help forums and have played with a lot of solutions and can't seem to fix this one.
With no updates or changes to my usual settings I've noticed an issue with my company logo when I export to PDF from InDesign CS6. Once I open the PDF all images and color spaces look fine, but the logo is muted, as if I set the opacity to 60-70% before exporting.
It happens with both EPS and AI files. It does NOT happen when I place the logo as a JPEG, but I need transparency and quality on these PDFs. Don't say PNG please, same issue with quality.
I don't understand how it changed when I changed nothing.
Any guidance would be appreciated, and I know I couldn't have possiblty provide a complete set of variables, so let me know wheat else would be helpful.

Thanks for both your responses. It appears that everythign in the original logo file and InDesign file are accurately set up. I've explored any back corners to see if something is off, but it all reads the same space/model/mode.
I've inserted an exported image to show the issue. The file formats from top to bottom is: AI, EPS, JPEG, PNG
Any other ideas?

Save as EPS and maintain layers?

Hi,
Is it possible to save a .psd file as a .eps and maintain the layers? When I convert the file to EPS, the layers are merged. I don't see an option in the "Save As" process that would prevent this from happning. Thanks!

OP - here is a thought.
First, a Photoshop PDF with transparency is acceptable for InDesign. But many people want a flattened format to place in older programs such as Quark 6, or Pagewrecker.
They often use EPS. Photoshop will outline all fonts in the EPS output. Also with EPS you do not have a dual file format, so you must save a copy. These are two fundamental differences between Photoshop EPS and Photoshop PDF.
Here is another option if you need flattened output, but you still want the PSD info wrapped in a single file.
Save as Photoshop PDF, layers checked.
Select "PDF/X-1a" preset. By the standard, choose "None", When you do this "Photoshop Editing Capabilities" should default to enabled (if not, enable it)
When you save in this fashion, you are saving a flattened PDF output with vector data for other applications, but you also retain the native Photoshop file. This file can be opened for editing in Photoshop and can also be opened for evaluation in Adobe Acrobat.
Please, please be wary of Photoshop fonts. The fonts are embedded subset in the PDF, but sometimes you encounter glyph width errors when preflighting the PDF in Acrobat.
Photoshop has vector capabilities, but these capabilities are half - baked. Each and every font glyph becomes a clipping mask for pixel data. Not an ideal construct. For some RIPS, Photoshop fonts can blow up like dynamite.
I'm not trying to discourage utilizing Photoshop vector. But if possible, set your type in InDesign or Illustrator, it's safer in the long run.

Saving logos as jpg, eps, and png. What mode do I create each in? RGB or CMYK?

Question... My client has asked for their logo as a JPG, EPS and PNG. They want a file ready to go, so they can fire off logos to whomever for whatever purpose.
The Pantones are selected. My question, what mode do I create each format (jpg, eps, png) in? CMYK or RGB? Or do I create a CMYK and RGB of each for each format? (The more I know, the less I understand)

Wow, thanks for your input. I also spoke with a printer with whom I'm working on another job.
I think I've really over-complicated this, and here's all I really need to send them:
EPS: Pantone, CMYK, RGB (I have read EPS's are outdated, but she didn't have a problem with it. This way they can take the Pantone colors and try to replicate them as closely as possible)
JPG: Pantone, CMYK, RGB (per your earlier comments)
PNG: Pantone, RGB (Web usage)
PDF/X-4: Printer didn't have strong feelings on this format. She said the EPS would be fine. I'll still send it though.
Sound good? (I like affirmation)

Does Photoshop touch for Ipad2 support .eps and .cdr files ?

Does Photoshop touch for Ipad2 support .eps and .cdr files ?

Hi Contactketan,
These are not support file formats within Photoshop Touch. You could convert to .jpeg or .psd through Photoshop or Corel.

The difference between photoshop eps and illustrator eps

Before installing snow leopard, Quark Xpress could distinguish between photoshop eps and illustrator eps files when a file needed to be modified. Now all it does is open files in only one item of software (depending on which you have told it to open files in). It's very inconvenient
Anyone got any ideas?

It sounds like you may have assigned EPS files to open in a particular app. That causes anything ending in .eps to open in that app, and the OS ignores the rest of the UTI (Uniform Type Identifiers) data.
About the only way to fix it is to clear the LaunchServices database. Close all running applications. Open the Terminal and copy/paste the following line and press Enter:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Close the Terminal and immediately restart. The OS will build a new database based on the installed applications. EPS files created by a particular application should now open in that app.

Converting from PDF directly to Java Objects/XML (and PDF format questions)

Hi,
I posted this originally in the Acrobat Windows forums but was told I might have more luck here, so here goes:
I am desperately trying to find a tool (preferably open source but commercial is fine also) that will sit on top of a PDF and allow me to query it's text for content and formatting (I don't care about images). I have found some tools that get me part of the way there, but nothing that seems to provide an end-to-end solution but is quite lightweight. My main question is WHY are there so many tools that go from PDF to RTF, and many tools that go from RTF to XML, but NONE that I can find that go PDF to XML.
To clarify, by formatting I simply mean whether a line/block of text is bold/italic, and its font size. I am not concerned with exact position on the page. The background is that I will be searching PDFs and assigning importance to whether text is a heading/bodytext etc. We already have a search tool in place so implementing a pure PDF search engine is not an option. I need a lightweight tool that simply allows me to either make calls directly to the PDF OR converts to XML which I can parse.
Some tools I have tried:
1) PDFBox (Java Library) - Allows the extraction of text content easily, but doesn't seem to have good support for formatting.
2) JPedal (Java Library) - Allows extraction of text content easily, and supports formatting IF XML structured data is in the PDF (not the case for my data).
3) Nitro PDF (Tool) + RTF to XML (script) - This works quite nicely and shows that PDF to XML is possible, but why do I have to use 2 tools? Also, these are not libraries I can integrate into my app.
4) iText (Java Library) - Seems great at creating PDFs but poor at extracting content.
I don't really expect someone to give me a perfect solution (although that would be nice!).
Instead, what I'd like to know is WHY tools support PDF to RTF/Word/whatever retaining formatting, and other tools support RTF to XML with the formatting information retained. What is it about PDF and RTF/Word that makes it feasible to convert that way, but not to XML. Also, as I found in 3) above, it is perfectly feasible to end up as XML from PDF, so why do no tools support this reliably!
Many thanks for any advice from PDF gurus.

XML doesn't mean anything - it's just a generic concept for structuring
information. You need a specific GRAMMAR of XML to mean anything. So what
grammar would you use? Something standard? Make up your own?
However, there are a number of commercial and open source products that can
convert PDF to various XML grammars - SVG, ABW, and various custom grammars.
But the other thing you need to understand is that most PDF files do not
have any structure associated with them (as you saw when using JPEDAL). As
such, any concepts of paragraphs/sections/tables/etc. Are WILD GUESSES by
the software in question.

Exporting report as PDF and CSV formats same time with out executing DB query twice

Post Author: cpriyanka
CA Forum: Exporting
I am using Crystal Report 9.0 version and Java.
I am getting "PrintOutputController" from "ReportClientDocument"
And then by calling export(ReportExportFormat.PDF) generating PDF format report.
Now I need to generate both PDF and CSV format files same time. How can it be done?
My understanding is when we call "export" it does the DB query execution and other functionality.
In that case, if I call "export" two times with two different formats, then DB query will be executed twice and that takes lot of time.
To avoid, is there a way I can all some API so DB query executed once, but I can export report in to multiple formats?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Hello,
Are you using the "pull" or "push" method for your crystal reports? If you are using the "pull" method (the report itself executes the sql) then I believe there is no way around having the query execute twice since it is fired off each time you open and export the report.
If you use the "push" method, however, then you can just create the recordset/dataset and then set the datasouce once for the report.
Here's a broad overview of push and pull though the Crystal Report Viewer is used. The viewer may or may not be applicable in your case:

With Reports 10G can you customize you message and stop formatting?

Oracle, states to come here for answer. they said, OTN should be able to help.
If any one knows how this can be done can you please help me out?
thanks,
We were told this was fixed with 10G so we upgraded to 10G. We have a
report and we want it to execute if it's less than 10 records if not we want a
message to come up that the report needs to be scheduled.
Well we run the report and it displays exceeded record count but the format
still runs so no time saved on the web.
If the record count was exceeded we want to HALT the system and not go any
farther.
Now if we could modify the system message 1825 we would be o.k. But we don't
know if that is going to work. If we could change the message we would be
o.k. with that. that would mean changing the system codes though.
### How is the Report being called (Command line, URL or via Oracle Forms): ###
If false comes back in the beginning then we don't want any report formatting
to be done. Right now the format is done it seems but no data is displayed
because criteria isn't met.
So we dont wnat the formatting to be run when criteria isn't met. But for
some
reason it still runs and takes time.
See we have some reports on the web that can only be ran by date range right
now the clients can only run the reports for a 6 months range.. Well some
clients have a lot smaller record count. So we want to change the way the
reports are ran to a records count. If the count is large than said amount
then a message comes up that states the report has to be scheduled. If the
amount is under said amount then the report runs.
So at this time in the report we do a count then we move onto will the report
run or not if over the amount we want to abort the process but we don't want
the client to see the abort. We definately don't want the client to sit and
wait for the format to run when NO Data is to be returned.
### Error messages and error scenario: ###
So what we want is too see a message "Schedule the report count exceeded" and
NO formatting done. If under amount we want the report to run.
### Provide a detailed step-by-step description of your problem or question: ###
Or is there a way to customize the messages the client / users will see. And
no formatting time for no records returned.

21-SEP-04 15:38:39 GMT
Hi Darlene!!
As talked to you on phone, here are the steps for you to try.
The below has been run as a test case using emp table in scott schema of a database
1) create a summary coloumn say cs_1 in the data model.
2) point the function to count.
3) Point the source to what ever's count you want it to be pointed to(say empno of emp table of
scott schema)
4) create a user parameter say NO_ROWS
5) in its property palette make its data type number and initial value as 1
6) I had teh following query for my report:
select empno, ename from emp
where rownum <= :no_rows
This means that the report that will be generated will consist of a total no of NO_ROWS(that we
shall be specifying at run time). The before report trigger(mentioned in 7 below) shall assure
that whenever we specify NO_ROWS greater than 5 then the report will display a customized pop up
message.
7) create a before report trigger as:
function BeforeReport return boolean is
user_excp EXCEPTION;
begin
if :cs_1 >5 then
raise user_excp;
return (false);
else
return true;
end if;
EXCEPTION
WHEN user_excp then
SRW.MESSAGE(30, 'Data is more please schedule this report:');
raise SRW.PROGRAM_ABORT;
return (false);
end;
This way when u run a report, an argument is asked whether how many rows do you want to be
displayed as in the parameter NO_ROWS. then you specify the number. If that number is greater
than 5(in this case, due to if :cs_1 > 5 then....) then it will pop up a message saying "Data is
more please schedule this report:"
In case you do not want to specify NO_ROWS..then you need not put that and modify the report
query as "select empno, empname from emp;" i.e. without where clause.

New info : Information from the person that did this suggestion step by step.
I tried this step by step, but unfortunately, it doesn't work the way we want.
First with this suggestion, the user needs to choose how many records they
want
to get, or we default a number of records, in order to run the report. The most
important thing is, whenever you specify the statement return false or raise
SRW.PROGRAM_ABORT in the before report trigger, the system message will pop up.
I really hope that people from Oracle would let us know how to customize the
system message or hide it.
23-SEP-04 14:23:04 GMT
New info : I just thought that we have some sort of message, which I guess is
from the database, when we do claim search on client inquiry. I am just
wondering if we could try the same thing to the report.
The some sort of message looks like this on dev box:
Your search exceeded 5000 records and will surpass the capabilities of this
connection. Please narrow the search criteria and resubmit.
It's just a thought, not sure if it's going to work.

How can I embed files of word, excel, and pdf format in a pdf document

I have a word document of the product, which I am updating for next product release. However, there are some excel, word, and pdf files embedded within a word document. When I double click these embedded files in word, these files open in a new window. However, we deliver documentation to the customer in the pdf format. Therefore, when I am converting the word document in the pdf format, only an icon of the embedded file is displayed and the files do not open in a new window. Can someone let me know how can I embed these files (in word, excel, and pdf format) in a pdf document?

You must attach them to the PDF file after it is created. You cannot embed file attachments onto a page as you can with Word.
