Exporting a Layered PSD and Overprint Fill

Hi guys.
I'm trying to export a layered PSD of my AI file and I keep having problems with it merging the layers because of the overprint settings.
I've been trying to go through and turn off the overprint in my objects, but I have a photo that's cropped by a rectangle shape, and the Overprint Fill option under Attributes is greyed out. What must I do?

Well, when I release the clipping mask, both the image and the selection mask do not have the overprint checked or greyed. But when I apply the mask, it turns grey again (with a "-").
The clipping mask:

How can I export a PDF form and the filled in fields to a text document?

OK, so I have a situation. I need people to be able to open a reader-enabled PDF form, fill out the form fields, and then export the filled-out PDF form to a basic text document. This seems easy since Adobe Reader can save to text. The problem is, the answers in the form fields do not show in the text file! Each radio button shows as yes and no, and there is no indication in the text file which one was selected. In addition, the form fields are not exported next to the questions on the form. I tried flattening the form in Adobe pro, and that did not work either.
How can I create a fillable form for Adobe Reader, and then let the user export their answers AND the questions on the form to plain text?

OK, so I tried this as a starting point, and assigned it to a button on page 3 of the form.
p=0;
console.show();
console.clear();
for (var j = 0; j < this.getPageNumWords(p);j++) {
      var word = this.getPageNthWord(p,j,false);
      console.println(word);
This gives me all the words on the first page not in fields, and each word goes on a separate line. Now, characters in the document such as "&" or ")" cause the rest of the word to go on the next line down.
Next, I tried this:
console.show();
console.clear();
for (var j = 0; j < this.getPageNthWord(j);j++)
      var word = this.getPageNthWord(j,false);
      console.println(word);
This only gives me the first word on page 3, the page the button is placed?
What I need to do is run the code and place words on one line until the code hits a keyword "var cKeyWord1 = “Key1” for example?, then insert the value of field one, Start a new line in the console, restart the code where it left off until it hits the next key word "var cKeyWord2 = “Key2”, insert the value of field two, add a new line, and on and on.
Is this possible?

Exporting/Importing Layers from and to InDesign (CC 2014)

I would love to see a feature where i can export a layer from one InDesign file to another InDesign file, like in Photoshop and Illustrator.
I often am working with translated files, where i need to update the / for example / French text to Dutch text from another file. Now i manually copy and paste every layer one by one. This is such a waste of time, there must be an easier way to do this, using a copy and paste layers function.
Thanks!

Hi all,
The solution for the moment is to use the cc extension Illustrator Layer Exporter http://dehats.com/illustrator-layer-exporter/
Thanks to Franck for his help ;-)

I exported jpg, tif, psd, and dng files from Lightroom but Aperture does not see them except for dng during import

How do I import jpg, tif, psd files exported from Lightroom 3 into Aperture 3.2? I had no problems before...seems like since I installed Lion, they do not show up in the import folder.

How are you trying to import them (again) ? If you're importing through the Import Window and have RAW only set then that's all you'll get.
Also what's an Import Folder? Not sure how Lightroom fits into this. If you share your workflow with us we might be able to help.

Importing of PSDs and others

I have a large number of older (pre digital camera) image files organized in the finder. When navigating to these folders via Aperture/import many, many of the image files do not even show up. Of course, many of these files are layered PSDs and/or various versions (tiff,jpeg, etc) of an original scan. When in question, I have to compare the import window with the contents of any given folder in the finder. It is quite difficult to see which files are not shown in Aperture due to the large number of files in the folders.
The questions are these...why don't these files show up? How can I make them show up?
I know about the potential layered PSD problem. I've followed the guidelines regarding preferences in Photoshop.
All of the unseen image files I'm referring to are originally from scans of original film. So far, it appears that if the original was from a digital camera, the layered version does appear in the import window. With Aperture, the future looks bright but the past is gloomy.
Additionally, once I determine which images do not show, I'm unable to drag/drop that image into an Aperture project. Direct drag/drop is allowed of the images that do show in the import window. What is it about these images that is not supported? Many of them are not layered at all, but are just ordinary jpegs or psds.

Some of the files that would not show up in Aperture/import did not do so apparently because of age. I found that if I opened them in PS CS2 and 'saved as' they were then seen. I set up a PS action to open and resave (to a different disc) and they were fine (I lost my hierarchy of folders in doing so). Since these were 'masters', I had never saved new ones to the same location. Some of these had possibly never even been saved in OSX, only System 9. Many were likely saved on some older version of Photoshop, since I've had that since Version 5 or before it's hard to tell where the cutoff is.
Other files were not seen (apparently) due to odd naming conventions. Some files I had named 'nameofimage.mini' or .small or .whatever, that's a mistake. In days of yore, I didn't even know about file extensions.
While there are still hundreds of images scattered about my drives that may not be recognized, I was able to import a core group of important portfolio images by modifying them as described above.
I guess Aperture is a good reason to really clean house and purge an overwhelming amount of duplicate or outdated images. Ultimately, if Aperture prevails, I'll likely have to re-save hundreds of images in order for them to make it into the library.

Is there a way to import a .psd and use its data?

Like if I were to take a non flattened, layered .psd and load it in using as3, would I be able to get information about each layer in the .psd, such as position, name of the layer, etc.?

You cannot load PSD at runtime using AS3 (well at least not easily). If you're talking about importing to FLA this page may answer your question: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/using/WS1D02DB71-AB5A-4f20-B359-C0AB1723B41Da.html (but then this is AS3 forum )

InDesign: How can I export indd pages to layered psd files?

I wish to create layered PSD files from the pages of InDesign marketing brochures so that they may be used as templates in Photoshop by photographers (or whomever) that neither possess nor understand how to use InDesign? I have seen offerings by other offering both an indd file and multiple psd files but I cant discern a simple way to make that happen. I am hoping to be able have it occur via a "click" -- convert indd to layered psd. Id doesn't not appear to allow PSD export. What is another method to do this? I'm on PC.

One way would be to export every Indesign layer as PDF and to assemble them again to a multi-layer PSD file.
But there is a also script that can do what you want. Unfortunately for you, it is for Mac only.

Line exports as flat PSD file. Can I export as layered file? If not, Will this be introduced later?

Adobe Line app exports the bottom "imported" background and the working layer together as a flat psd file. How can I separate the imported or blank white layer and just export the working layer? Preferably I would like to export both layers in a layered psd file.

Sorry to hear that you are having problems with some of the scripts. Normally this is due to the prefferences becoming corrupt. They can be trashed to see if all then works..
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776
I have also written a new script yesterday that includes adjustments layers if the exist, so that may work for you?

Are there any hints on PhotoShop image organization for a current IMac usser ?
Please help.

My backup plan is to use Time Machine to make a backup to an external disk drive plus I also do a clone of my system disk. So far between the bootable clone and the Time Machine backup this plan has covered all of my needs.

I paid for exportpdf and everytime i try to use tool on pdf, it asks me to subscribe. i have to log into website EVERY time. not acceptable. how can i export only form fields that were filled in?

i paid for exportpdf and every time i try to use tool on pdf, it asks me to subscribe. i have to log into website EVERY time. not acceptable. Some forms can't be saved so having to log in and only use webtool to upload a saved pdf won't work.
as well, how can i export only form fields that were filled in if I can get pdf to save to computer?

Hi kstine,
I can see why that would be frustrating! Have you tried selecting Stayed Signed In underneath the Adobe ID and Password boxes when you try to log in?
What did you use to create the PDF form? If you used FormsCentral, form data is saved to your online FormsCentral account. If you have Acrobat, you can export form data as described here: Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Manage form data files

Export to PDF from Autocad: Acrobat always opens PDF with 'layers panel and page' shown.

Hello,
Whenever I export to PDF from Autocad, Adobe Acrobat opens the PDF with the 'Layers Panel and Page' shown.
Each time I have to manually go to 'Properties' and select 'Page only', close 'Properties' and close the PDF and select to save the changes, in order to show the just the page.
Is there a way to make PDFs always export to 'Page only' automatically as default?
Thanks!

Thakns Peter, I had seen this thread, but it doesn't really address my issue. I've exported individual chapters from the book file, all with success, so I know there isn't a file corruption issue. The problem seems to do more with memory allocation/usage.
I have tried: quitting and then immediately exporting the file, and even rebooting and then relanuching and exporting. Both of these allow me to get a few pages farther along, but still not through the entire book.
I remember back in the day there used to be a setting for how much RAM/dis c space was allocated to a certain applicatino (I knowm it was a long time ago). I didn't know if there might be something like this hidden somewhere

Splitting high resolution in tiles, and saving them out as new cropped and layered psd file.

Hey there, my first post here.
I currently working with designing photos/images ceramic tiles.
My goal is to minimize the time it takes to split an image in equal tiles, and then having all layers put in a new layered psd-file and layers named after raws and columns.
Let say I have a bathroom wall 160X100 centimeters.
That would be 8x5 tiles, tiles are 20x20 cm I this case, 40 tiles.
Doing this manually when the work load increases would be impossible to manage.
Tried using slices, but there's gotta be a bug in relationship between pixels and millimeters/centimeters.
I divided the whole image in equally big slices 5 raws, 8 columns.
No matter what the pixels say, when the image is 1600x1000 mm, one would think the result would be 8 tiles X 5 tiles that are 200x200mm each!
But it turns out it differs 2 - 3 millimeters.
Would be glad if there was a different approach to this, either by a neat script or a plug in or something.
Images slicing in photoshop is only able to save out to web formats what I know of. I need it to be high resolution images 300dpi.
Hope th get some feedback and ideas on this.
Thanks in advance

Layering content box under a framing image (slicing a Photoshop PSD and importing into Dreamweaver)

Hi,
I am slicing a Photoshop PSD document and importing into Dreamweaver. Is Dreamweaver able to handle Layered content in the same as Photoshop so that the content box can be Layered below a Decorative Frame. As there will be multiple Images I want to be able to have a content box Layered below the frame, rather than have to make a separate page for each photo in the gallery.
Hope this makes sense. Any pointers gratefully received.

No.
Yes.
I regularly receive layered PSD files for web work. The layers allow me to just select one element at a time so that I can complete the pages as the designer wanted me to.
One may have "layers" in a website, but the method is wonky at best and will destroy the flow of a good HTML page, causing rendering problems at worst. You need to think of a website as a 2D object, especially when you are starting out.
If you have elements that need to be "on top" of another element, you'll need to create a div that is within a div, with your inside content inside the outer div. And think of a div as a rectangular area that holds stuff, like pictures, text, colors and graphics.
Layering on websites is usually achieved using JavaScript or AP divs. An Absolutely Positioned div will tend to destroy the normal flow of your HTML, which is why it is recommended only in certain very special cases. If you are just starting out, you need to understand how to construct a 2D web page using HTML and CSS first.

Illustrator CS6 Exporting ai layers to Photoshop layers

I have some artowrk that I need to convert from .ai layered file to a Photoshop layered Psd file. I tried a few differnt ways unsuccessfully, any help?
R

Let me explain a bit more, the ai document is a map with a layer of pins and a layer of pins with a rectangle area which has text.
My plan was to convert to Photoshop so each would be on a layer.
when I click on each area I get a bounding box around the area and I'm ablre to move it so I know its on its own layer.
What do you mean about a no fill / area?
I troed to export the layers one a t a time as well but I only get the layer and white background on one layer

Continued "automatic" overprint fill selection

I have had a number of files recently that have object in them that have automatically checked the Overprint Fill Attribute. Is anyone else seeing this? They have been vector objects either created in Illustrator or directly i InDesign.
I have actually never purposefully set an objet to overprint fill. In a multi-page pub it can be hard to even notice these items with Overprint Preview turned on.
How is this getting turned on? Is there some key combo shortcut that could be responsible? I've had enough of seeing these little things pop in pieces that are rushed with no real proof reviewed.
Is there a way for a PDF to be exported that displays just as the print output will be?

Hey Peter, I appreciate you digging further. I apologize for the confusing relation of detials.
You are correct. While black text that is still live text will not specifically be checked in the Attributes panel to overprint, the ID voodoo is that if you convert it to paths, Overprint in the Attributes pane will automatically be checked. It will do it every time. Open the Attributes pane and watch it happen. The second you convert to paths, it'll check overprint. It would be nice if a warning were tossed right then.
Black text that is live will not overprint objects layered over it as far as I can tell, but exported as a PDF and examined via Advanced > Print Production > Overprint View in Acrobat, Simulate Overprint checked , Color Warnings selected, Show Overprinting checked, will show black text as overprinting.
All of these things can make prepress & troubleshooting somewhat tricky, especially in a rush situation.
My two overprint issues this year manifested out of:
- an object pasted directly from Illustrator into InDesign as a vector. I did not specifically tag it to overprint. How this happened, I cannot determine or replicate. I can say, I have never specifically selected any object to overprint on a cmyk piece.
- Created a symbol via font dingbat, converted it to paths, changed its color. The client chose not to proof and the object overprinted altering part of the layout negatively. This is the process mentioned above, all taking place in ID: black text > convert to path > ID tags to overprint all by itself > it remains tagged regardless of color changes.
So, if black text isn't set to hard overprint, why the hooey does ID check it as such when converted to paths. That is just plain evil.
