Export graphics to Adobe Illustrator file format

Does anyone have or know where to get a "hello world" type script to save Java2D objects to a Adobe Illustrator file format.
I have looked at the file format specification and it is quite detailed. Just hoping for something to get me started, as the graphics I want to export are not too complicated.
Thanks

Can Robohelp import native Adobe Illustrator file formats?

I am thinking about getting Robohelp, but I would like to know if Robohelp can import the native Adobe Illustrator (.ai) file format directly? I do not want to have convert my Illustrator files to .jpg, or any other file format that would lose any vector based graphics and/or graphics quality, before bringing the image into Robohelp. I am unfamiliar with both Illustrator and Robohelp so any information will be appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi there
In addition to what Colum offered, if this capability is important to you, you should consider submitting a Wish Form to alert Adobe that this is a need in the real world. For folks to import Illustrator files into RoboHelp. After all, isn't Illustrator an Adobe product?
Link to the Wish Form is in my sig.
Cheers... Rick

Illustrator cannot open files in the "Adobe Illustrator Document" format.

I recently upgraded from CS4 to CS5.5 on my Mac (10.6.7), and now when I try to open a .ai file, I get the error:
Illustrator cannot open files in the “Adobe Illustrator Document” format.
Google doesn't seem to be much help other than one other person who had the same issue. Any idea why Illustrator can't open Illustrator documents?

Actually, quitting Illustrator and re-launching it solved it. It was the first time I had launched Illustrator after installing it, so maybe it had something to do with that.

PDF export of adobe illustrator files loses layers

When we export an iBooks Author file as a PDF (best quality), Adobe Illustrator files that have transparent layers lose their transparency.
The .ai files look fine iBooks Author (where is gives the file name of the image as a .pdf because that is how iBooks author imports .ai files), and when you Preview the file in iBooks on the iPad, and the transparent layers are there.
It is only when exporting to PDF that the image breaks.

The problem was in "printing" the PDF.
The issue was completely resolved by printing the iBA file to a Post Script file, and then indepently using Adobe Distiller to produce the final PDF.
It makes no sense to me why using Print to Adobe PDF from the iBA print menu works any differently than using Distiller on a .ps file. But whatever, it works, and it is beautiful.

How to Show preview of adobe illustrator file on web browser

Hi All....
Is there any possibility to showing preview of adobe illustrator file on web browser through Flex or Flash or any other application.
If any kindly suggest me.

Hi Mylenium
Thanks for all your suggestions..
While Googling on this issues I come to know that Illustrator file can be exported in XAML format with the help of a small plug-in, and that XAML file can be use in Microsoft silverlight. Then we can preview our Illustrator artwork on web browser. Also we can select each artwork (line, point, shape etc) on design view (on Microsoft Expression Blend). This is what I required.
Here is a link for Illustrator to XAML Exporter

Why is my CS6 Adobe Illustrator file so large?

I duplicated one of my previously created CS6 Adobe Illustrator files (28 MB) with photos that have clipping masks. Why is my new AI file now 148 MB in size, when all of my newly linked jpeg graphics total only 9 MB? If I save it as a regular pdf it's 148MB, but if I save this same file with the smallest size pdf format, it reduces it down to only 242 KB. No files are embedded either in my newly created AI file. My business associate working on other Illustrator files experiences this same phenomenon sporadically at times too. It has us both baffled.

But why isn't the pdf embedding the jpegs, and use the file size of the jpegs? Are you telling me that the pdf editing compatibility function is actually converting the jpeg information into a uncompressed format? That's crazy, because all the similar Illustrator files that came before this one, used the same method and similar jpegs in size, and AI file size was negligible (700k to 2 MB size) on those previous files even though pdf compatibility was checked when saving in .ai format.
What's more, I tried resaving that ai file without pdf compatibility and file size is just as large as before. It made no difference. I also resaved those jpegs in Photoshop with the save for Web option. It still didn't make a difference. However, if I save those as pdfs using the smallest file size rather than [Illustrator default] and editing capatibility it make a big difference-down into the KB size range.

How to get .ai (Adobe illustrator) file properties???

Hello to all,
I am using c# window application framework 3.5 .I am working on the graphics search engine . Now i want to get the .ai (Adobe illustrator)files properties so please help me how to get .ai files properties?????

Illustrator file is not just simple one image, that there will be a single image height, width and bit depth available. Illustrator file is made of two components, one is PDF and another is Illustrator private data called PGF. PDF spec is available to everyone while PGF has very limited documentation, but both of them are vector based format, it can contain paths, images, gradient, text etc. They can have multiple pages of varied sizes and each page can have multiple images. So there is no single image height, width or bit depth for the entire file in total.

Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?

I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?
Regards
Mike

Premiere and Media Encoder will will no longer export my edit to any file format.

This is on a Windows 8.1 PC.
The edit exported fine until I made one big mistake.
I created a Nested Edit to make a quick alteration.
Since then the following is now the case and I cannot go back to an earlier edit to fix this.
Premiere and Media Encoder will will no longer export my edit to any file format. Using either the Export Option or Media Encoder. Get a dialog that says "Unknown Error Compiling Movie"
There is nothing wrong with my footage. This edit worked fine and I export through Media Encoder many times until I made a Nested Edit within the Premiere Project.
I have tried all sorts of searches on the net for a fix to this but nothing seems to be current or indeed works.
Any help would be appreciated as this is a show stopper.

Thanks for the reply Mark, appreciated.
I have found a work around but it still leaves a long term issue for Adobe to fix.
As to your first solution:
1). The nested edit is already in its own timeline panel. It will not export or encode via media encoder. This is the problem.
2). I will try the KEM roll feature but I have a work around see following.
3). No I do not have a nested edit within a nested edit.
I did a lot of research on the net on this issue as it happened to a colleague of mine on his machine about two weeks ago. It took me six hours to get a fix and in his case there were six video clip that had read errors. When I overwrote those clips from the original backup master it fixed the problem. However I was never able to use Media Encoder again to export his project without it failing. I could only use the Export feature. Again he had used a nested edit in his project.
I my case I do not have any nested edits within a nested edit. All I did was drag my main edit onto the New Sequence icon at the bottom of the Project Bin. This of course created a nested edit in a new Timeline Panel which is what I wanted. I then slid the entire nested edit to the right in the timeline by two seconds as all a wanted to do was add two seconds of black at the head of the edit. That was it. From that point of creating the nested edit Media Encoder and the Export option failed every time with the fore mentioned error.
The final work around was one of those I found previous mention of during my research. I created a new clean Premiere Pro CC 2014 project, I then used the import option under the file menu. I imported only the original main edit which brought in that edit along with all the required footage. This would then export to disk using the Export feature. However, Media Encoder will still not encode this new edit, it fails the same way every time, 'Unknown Error Compiling Movie'.
As a test I loaded the old corrupt edit project back up and deleted the nested edit sequence completely and re-saved it. This had no effect and did not fix the problem. This particular project file will no longer export directly or via media encoder at all no matter what I do.
This seems pretty serious to me. I worked on this edit for a whole month without issue, encoding out roughs as a went without any issue, it was only yesterday after I made the nested edit that the project file is now useless as it will not encode out at all. Yes I have a work around and was able to salvage my project and get it rendered in time for my deadline but the fact I have a partially working Project that Media Encoder will not touch does not instill me with confidence for long term use of Premiere Pro if this is going to happen again.
Is there some place I can send this project file to Adobe to see if they can find out what is wrong with it? I am not the only person having this issue I have seen other post going all the way back through CS6 it seems.

"This is an Adobe Illustrator file that was save without PDf content."

I have a client that has been working on a file in AI CS, never left his machine, but when he went to open it today he gets a message that says this file "was generated by a newer version of Illustrator. Would you like to import this file? Some data loss may occur".
And when we click the "Import" button, we then get:
"This is an Adobe® Illustrator® file that was saved without PDF content. To place or open this file in other applications, it should be re-saved from Adobe Illustrator with the "Create PDF Compatible File" options turned on. This option is in the Illustrator Native Format Options dialog box, which appears when saving an Adobe Illustrator file using the Save As command."
However, even though this was created in AI CS, all other machine and all other versions of AI (even CS3, 3.3, 2, etc..) we get the same exact error message. How it can be newer than CS 3.3 when it was created in CS is strange to begin with.
I assume this is some sort of corruption, but was wondering if there were any cures. It seems our backups have backed up this file in it's current state (corrupt), which is a huge issue at this point.
Thank you very much for any help!

I have sometimes had this trouble since I updated Acrobat.
"This is an Adobe® Illustrator® file that was saved without PDF content ..."
Not sure what's wrong - it seems to happen even though the Illy file is saved with PDF content and everything embedded.
Another thing: When viewing pdfs under Advanced>Print Production>Output Preview I repeatedly get an RGB simulation preview even though I know that the file is CMYK. So I have to choose a CMYK simulation preview and then things look o.k.
Is there any way to stop the RGB preview coming up? I note that Convert Colours messes things up completely, so it's only the preview that's wrong.
Any ideas, Wade?

This is an Adobe Illustrator File that was saved without PDF Content.

Hi everybody,
I'm working in illustrator CS6 and I am trying to save my file as PDF. However I can't seem to do it.
I save the file as an ai. file and click the "Create PDF Compatible File" option. Then when I click >save as >and opt for the PDF version and click save the PDF file comes up with no images and just the .....
This is an Adobe® Illustrator® File that was
saved without PDF Content.
To Place or open this le in other
applications, it should be re-saved from
Adobe Illustrator with the "Create PDF
Compatible File" option turned on. This
option is in the Illustrator Native Format
Options dialog box, which appears when
saving an Adobe Illustrator le using the
Save As command.
This hasn't happened before when saving to PDF previously. If you could offer any help or advice I would much appreciate it.
Cheers

Rosie,
This is seriously weird: even if you have Create PDF Compatible File unticked you should be able to Save As PDF.
There may be something corrupt, so the list may be worth trying:
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Why do Adobe Illustrator files look blurry when Replicated?

When I replicate a group of Adobe Illustrator files, the Replicator output is blurry.
Take a look at this screencast for more details.
I've turned off Fixed Resolution for each layer. The group of AI layers scales fine and stays crisp at any scale. However, when I replicate the group, the output is blurry.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I'm moving down the question list
In the Replicator inspector, turn on 3D. Turn on Best from the Render > Quality menu.
Also, if you're exporting to a movie file and you're working in Normal or Draft quality settings, in the Export dialog, make sure to click the Render option button and set Render Quality to Best as well. Sometimes it's easier to work in Normal, especially if you're using emitters and render out at Best. With the export dialog, you can make "final decisions" to the render separately from your workflow. (Export is set to "Use canvas setting" by default.)
