Exporting files to a eps postscript level one

hello all.
We have just bought a new cutter plotter and the software that was supplied was artcut for a PC, I use a Mac and would like to use Illustrator (CS4) as the main design programme but to import the files into Artcut the need to be a eps postscript level one - does anyone know of a plugin that can be used to do this?
if you need more info please ask.
Thanks

Craig,
I wonder whether it can be done from version 8 or something. I can choose between level 2 and 3 in 10, 1 is shown but greyed out so I believe it is possible if the version is old enough.
If you (still) have one of the old versions, you may have a look and see; hopefully you can downsave and take it from there. Someone else might tell us.
Someone?

Premerie Pro CC - have sound on timeline, yet when I export file i am missing sound in one tiny clip. Can I be related to working with Merged clips?

Hello Premerie Pro CC community,
I need help, I am working with merged clips (the video footage shoot with a DSLR and different audio recorders). I have a timeline in premerie with sound all finished. Everything was fine until I when and fine tuned some of the audio, just added key frames to correct and now when I export my sequence I am missing sound in one little clip of the entire mov.
Does it have to do with sound and editing with a merged clip?
I have tried to export in several different settings and still the same result, and when I look at my timeline the sound is all there.
I have until the end of Monday to figure what I have done incorrect
thanks

In case it is a phase problem, try adding fill left effect to the faulty clip.

Adobe web chat come up with a solution.
Open the PP project.
Export your sequence or project as a Final Cut Pro XML file.
Set up a new PP project.
Import the Final Cut Pro XML file.
This will get you back up an running.
Since getting back to editing this project I have found that some things will be lost or change in using XML:
You will lose position key framing, black video clips, dissolve fx, audio levels, audio dynamic fx, the ability to open a multi camera clip and change the camera view.
You will keep cut points, crop fx.
Not perfect but only took a couple of hours to save 3 days work.

Why are my exported files not going to me email? I have used 3 different ones.

Why are my exported files not going to my email (receipts & business card)? I have used 3 different ones...2 yahoo and 1 hotmail. I have checked spam box also.

For the Receipts app I chose to export the info as a PDF file..an email was requested..I entered info and clicked send. For the Business Card app I chose Send, not Print..an email was requested..I entered info and clicked send. I haven't received anything, not even in my spam folder.

IBooks Author: in exported file, one page loads very slowly...

iBooks Author: in exported file, one page loads very slowly and drags when scrolling through pages, almost stopping the scroll. I have never seen this problem before with photo pages. Normally they scroll just as smoothly as text pages.
I have tried rebuilding the page with more compressed files to no avail. The image files used on the page are not any bigger than others I have used previously without any problem.
I have tried restarting my iBook.
I am using a template that I have modified quite a bit. The templates currently offered by Apple and third parties are not even close to what I am looking for in terms of layout, so I have to rip almost everything out of the page and start with a blank page, most of the time. I tried modyfying the layouts to save time and then saved as a new template. Apple really needs to add a module to create your own template at the beginning of a project. Or they need to create one very open template, without much on the pages.

I finally solved the problem by using an unmodified template. I would still like to know how my modifications to the other template caused the problem, but for now it remains a mystery. Thanks for your ideas.
Next I will try modifying the template without saving it as a template (merely saving it as a file) to see if I can get away with my modifications. Also I will make fewer modifications.
Slowly but surely I am learning this program by trial and error. Each time I try a few formatting variations, output an iBooks file, and open it on my iPad. I have probably done 20 of these tests, so far. Once I work out every detail of the design and structure, I will build the final book. I am lucky to have a beautiful PDF of the hardcover version, generously provided by my publisher. This not only sets a high bar for me, but also allows me to use some of their design elements via screen capture.
iBooks Author has great potential, but I along way to go to get there. One feature I would really like to see in the next update: the ability to add a hidden caption to a photo. The reader would tap the image and the caption would appear. Tap again and it disappears.

I just updated to 5.7 and the exported files are blurry. I compared the ones I exported before the change and they are fine. I have not change any settings.

I don't understand your last paragraph.
"The home page also has a full bar ..." What does "full bar" mean? " ... instead of the tray it had before." What does "tray" mean?
Anyway, you might try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout
I guess that cannot make things any worse.

Lightroom 4 won't export all my files and doesn't notify which ones it didn't

I have a large library and one day i wanted to make sure that none of the files were corupt so I thought of an idea to export my entire library to see if i get a notification if any of my files didn't export. I could then check on those files to see whats wrong. But trying to export that many images caused lightroom to crash so I exported by year instead. Some years were fine, but others like 2011 for example, out of 13906 images, only 9824 exported. I would be ok with that if lightroom notified me which images didn't export. Normaly, when i try to export images that are ofline, lightroom will tell me which ones didn't export and say that they can't be found. How am i supposed to find those 4000 images that didnt export if i don't know what there file names are? I tried exporting the previews as a catalog and all 13906 exported fine. I updated my dng previews and I even genereated new standard sized previews as well. I also ckecked for missing images under Library/Find Missing Photos, and there were none missing. Here are the type of files i was trying to export: DNG: 13017, jpeg: 9, PSD: 61, TIFF: 819. None were videos.
Please Help!

Thanks for your reply. I don't necesarily think I have corrupt files, but i want o make sure i don't so that when i do a back up, the corupt file doesn't replace the good ones on my backup drive. I have over 100,000 images in my library and there is absolutely no way that i am going to scroll through all of those to look for an exclamation point. I wish lightroom could scan my whole library for any questionalable files.
I have tried to export known corrupt files where I could see an exclamation point or a large purples band, or both, and they don't export. Thats why i wanted to export my whole library to see if i can find any of those. But lightroom notifies me when they cant export. I don't know why it doenst say anyting now. Im glad you mentioned about the stacking, i didn't know about that, however, i don't used stacking, so that is not the issue. There might be 10 or 20 that i accidentally stacked, but not 4000.

Export file formats from flash?

Hi, I have an issue concearning existing file formats for export in Flash CS4.
According to the user's manual in Italian I have found, http://help.adobe.com/it_IT/Flash/10.0_UsingFlash/WS0E26E472-1533-4297-A904-59476E8E1935.h tml
available formts include EPS and AI.
As far as AI is concearned, I have this option but exported AI files are hard to open in Illustrator, since a number of problems appear.
If I separate all groups in Flash and then export to AI format, Illustrator finally opens the AI file, but changing the colours and the shape of my design.
Moreover, no dialogue box for Illustrator version options appear when I choose AI for export, as is described in the support page.
As to EPS file format, it is not in the export file dialogue box, the formats I have are JPG, PNG, GIF, EMF, WMF, BMP.
My point is that I draw in Flash, then I need to export the designs in Illustrator for print optimization, but the content changes dramatically, if I actually can open the files.
Caould anyone help me?
Silvia

I am unsure about the Illustrator export, as I have never needed to do this, nor do I have CS4.
The EPS reads as a printer option, not an export one:
"An EPS file can be printed with a PostScript printer. ... This format has no definable export options"

Illustrator CS3 Import and Export File Format list?

Hello,
Has anyone typed up an updated supported import and export file format list for CS3? I used to reference a support knowledgebase document, 1001741, (no longer on Adobe's site) that showed the majority of file formats and versions that Illustrator was able to import. I searched all over and couldn't find one, then called support and they confirmed they no longer had a list like that available--they had split the import options into separate lists--like what versions of Photoshop files, what versions of .eps files, .tiff files etc. Illustrator CS3 could open.
The reason I was looking because I wanted to see what version Corel file CS3 could open after I was not able to open a customer's v.12 .cdr file.
Thanks,
Rick H.

I am pretty sure that the last supported version of Corel that AI can open is version 10.

Exporting files to server

Hi All,
We are migrating from essbase 6.5.4 to 7.1.6.7.
When we exported data from production server, we found the essbase database to be 54 GB. We also found the files in multiple numbers comprising to 54 GB.
We then loaded the exported file to development server in free form.
What we want to know is that is free-form the only way to load the exported file into development server.
If not then please suggest the other ones and explain the same in steps.
Thanks in advance.
Balakrishnan
Edited by: user11091956 on Nov 11, 2009 4:02 AM

Hi Cameron,
Following process were followed for exporting data:
1. Created a new application in development server (name same as in production).
2. Created a new database (as in production)
3. Stop the services in dev and production servers.
4. Removed the db folder created in dev.
5. copied the db folder from the prodn server to dev server at the respective paths.
We Could not open the application. (Problem faced by us)
6. Stopped the services of devp and prdn servers.
7. Removed tct,ess,ind,pag files.
8. Started the services again.
9. Exported the data at 'All Level' from prodn server
10. Loaded the generated export flat file db on dev server using Free rule.
11. Started the application successfully.
12. checked the data retrieved prior migration from prodn server with the data retreived from dev server at same intersection point.
Note: We have made templates in excel for matching prior and post migration data.
Problems found:
a. Small Database which generates single export flat file:
Data retrieval as mentioned in point 12 matched successfully.
b. Large Database ( > 10GB) which generated multiple export flat files:
Data retrieval as mentione in point 12 did not match completely.
A doubt arises in our mind whether the method chosen by us (Free load) and the generation of multiple files is responsible for the debacle.
Appreciate if you could suggest to solve the above issue.
Thanks in advance

Lightroom export file size: why so small? How can I maximize image quality?

My image file sizes are much smaller after editing and exporting through Lightroom. Is it impossible to maintain original file size to preserve image quality? Will this smaller file size have negative impact on prints? Any help is appreciated!

Per Berntsen wrote:
My view on this is somewhat different ...
Jpgs should never be edited, except as a last resort. And it defeats the purpose of working with raw files if you export a jpg, and then edit it.
Agreed. Unfortunately there are many cameras that only output JPEG format files. The camera file (or any other original JPEG file) is your "raw" unedited file inside LR. If you need to send the file to someone else for further editing who doesn't have LR then Exporting with 100% Quality setting might make sense. I say "might" because it's still possible to get very good results using lower Quality setting JPEGs if you only re-save the file one (1) time after further editing. I agree that 16 bit, ProPhoto RGB, TIFF Export files are best for "critical" work and when using 'Edit in Photoshop' from LR.
I suggest taking a look at the JPEG compression image tests on Jeffrey Friedl's Blog. It's a wealth of information! LR's Quality settings range from 0% to 100% or 100 Quality levels. In reality there are only 13 Quality levels, which are the same as in PS.

I use LR JPEG Quality settings of 77-84% for outside printing and LR 62-69% for web posting. I've yet to see any compression artifacts using these settings and I am a pixel-peeper!

If someone gives me a jpg to edit, I always save it as a tiff and convert to 16-bit, to minimize furhter deterioration. I realize that this will not be true 16-bit - no information is added to the image - but my impression is that it will withstand heavy editing better, and not end up with a comb-like histogram.
Why not simply Import the JPEG file into LR and do all your editing non-destructively? There's no need to convert the JPEG file to TIFF unless you need to use LR 'Edit in PS.' Lightroom uses a16 bit/color, ProPhoto RGB, Linear Gamma workspace for all images even when editing sRGB JPEG files.

PE 9 - Why is my exported file larger than the source?

Hello
I am new to Adobe Premier Elements 9. I have a Digital Video Recorder connected to my television. It produces MPEG-2 TS VIDEO FILEs. I want to import these into PE9 and just cut out the ads.
I tried with a source file that is 1GB in size. I imported it and removed the ads but when I export it using Share > Computer and select settings that mimic the source I stll end up with a 3.7GB file. I thought it should be smaller that 1GB because the video is now about 5 minutes shorter.
In my Export settings I chose:
Multiplexer: TS
Audio: Left it untouched
Video:
Basic Video Settings:
Quality = 4
Everything else set to Automatic (based on source)
Render at Maximum Depth left unchecked
Bitrate Settings:
Encoding: VBR, 1 Pass
Bitrate Level - Custom
Min, Target and Max all set to 15
GOP Settings:
M Frames: 3
N Frames: 12
Is my DVR better at encoding/compressing video that PE9 or are my export setting wrong? Shouldn't the exported file be less that 1GB?

As Steve points out, there are two parameters, that affect File Size:
Duration
Bit-Rate
With a fixed Duration, the only way to adjust File Size is lower the Bit-Rate (lower Bit-Rate = smaller File Size, but at the expense of quality.
Now, some CODEC's will allow one to use a lower Bit-Rate, but still retain perceived quality, better than some others, but it is still the Bit-Rate, that affects the File Size.
Some Export/CODEC options will list the Bit-Rate directly, and MB/sec., where others will instead have a "quality" setting, and the Bit-Rate's MB/sec. will not be directly shown, but will relate to some quality setting.
One major consideration is what is to be done with the resulting output file. If it is to be used for additional editing, then I feel that File Size is not a big issue, as I want the ultimate quality. If one is delivering the output file, then there are many considerations, from the platform of the recipient's computer, to the player being used, to the necessary quality of the file.
Good luck,
Hunt

Exported Files(pictures) not Added to Library

Hello,
I installed Lightroom 4.4 recently. I have been using 2.x for years.
I exported a number of jpg files into a JPG subfolder. These jpgs were generated from cr2 files. The "add to catalog" option was selected. My problem is that not only the exported files/pictures were not added to the catalog but that I cannot add them manually (by syncing the upper-level folder).
I used to do it like this for years and it worked.
Any comments, ideas?
Thank you!

Hello,
Have you found where the files are being exported to?
Are they in the correct place? (IE. where ou expected)
Are you certain the first option of the export dialog was Export to: Same folder as original - and not - Specific Folder before electing a Subfolder of JPG?
Yes to all of the above. The new (exported) files are where I want them to be, i.e., in the same subfolder as the CR2 files. The CR2 files are in one sub-folder named CR2 and the JPG files are in the JPG subfolder named JPG of the same containing folder. I can see/browse/display the exported files in explorer. The export worked as expected and placed the newly generated jpg files in the right place. The only thing that did not work as I would expect it to was that the newly generated files (and folder) were not added to the library. If I remember well this is how my Lightroom 2 was behaving as well. This is not a big deal, or WAS not a big deal as in LT2 I would then synchronize the folder and bring all the exported files into the library.
My current problem is that syncing does not work as it used to; it does not list the JPG folder(s) (or any of the exported jpg files in these folders) as part of what to sync. The folders are physically there but they are not selectable or visible as part of the sync, as if they were already in the library (they are not) or as if they were deliberatly ommitted for some reason...
Do you have any filters active in Lightroom that would hide the jpgs?
I did not turn on any filters on. Where are the filters so that I could check if something is not on by default?
Thanks!

Using HP Laserjet 5100 as a postscript level 3 device

Hi Smart People,
I'm usually pretty good at figuring this kind of thing out, but this setup has me at the edge of my understanding. If you could help me out, I would be very grateful.
I'm planning to use my 5100 to print offset plates for use on a printing press. I'd like to be able to use Adobe Acrobat Pro to output RIP-processed color separations with trapping. Acrobat says that this is possible with Postcript Level 3 devices, and as far as I know the laserjet 5100 is such a printer.
I'm connecting the printer to the computer using a ethernet cable to the Jetdirect (directly, without using an ethernet switch). I can get the printer printing just fine, but when I try to send a separation job to the printer, I get an error message on the printer display (79.00 PRINTER ERROR). I've tried using both AppleTalk and TCP/IP and get the same results.
I've read in the HP documentation that the parallel port is the only connection that can access all of the printer's capabilities. This has me thinking that connection the printer via the Jetdirect precludes the use of the internal Postscript Level 3 RIP. So my questions are:
Is this true?
If it is true, is it possible to connect the printer via the parallel port to my mac? Maybe with a parallel-to-USB converter cable? Or with an ethernet switch with a parallel port printer server?
I've seen mention on the internet of a set of files from HP called something like "HP Laserjet Monochrome for Mac" that seems to install postscript printing capabilities, but I can't find a functioning link to the file (the file seems to have been deleted from HP's site). Is this what I'm looking for?
Is there anything else I can do (besides buy a -shudder- PC to act as a print server) to get this working?
Thanks a ton,
Gary

I think the jetdirect is the correct method to use all the printer features (postscript 3).
Setting up a direct ethernet connection is tricky. You must set a manual IP address on the Mac, even to use appletalk. You should also set an IP address on the jetdirect, then add the printer using IP > jetdirect protocol.
Set computer and printer to be in the same local-reserved subnet - example - 192.168.3.3 for computer and 192.168.3.4 for printer (subnet mask 255.255.255.0 for both).

Error During INSTALL of Application Export File

An error is reported during INSTALL of an application that I am trying to copy (Import/Install) from a "development" Work Space into a "production" Work Space. The production (target) Work Space is on the same HTML DB instance as the development Work Space.
I am receiving the following INSTALL error:
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: GET_STMT error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-06550: line 15, column 1: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol &quot;,'39','RD8','8','S','10','U','43','UD','41','UG','11','W')) END)&quot; when expecting one of the following: . ( * @ % &amp; = - + ; &lt; / &gt; at in is mod remainder not rem &lt;an exponent (**)&gt; &lt;&gt; or != or ~= &gt;= &lt;=
Following is some pertinent (hopefully) information:
The above INSTALL error takes exception to part of a Region Select (sql) that works fine in the development Work Space.
The common HTML DB (v1.6) instance is on UNIX.
A new Work Space was created on the same instance.
A new schema name was created during creation of the new Work Space. However, this schema does not point to a database. (We were not certain how to setup the schema to parse to our live database.) I will be running DBLINK upon production application startup in order to access the database objects.
EXPORT INFO -

*Build Status: Run and Build Application
Please refer to above error message.
Again, any insights or suggestions are appreciated.

Urgently need help! I've read several other Forum messages having a related problem but none having same Install error message.
Again, my Export/Import from development Workspace to production Workspace is successful. The following error is reported when I attempt to "Install" into the production Workspace:
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: GET_STMT error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-06550: line 15, column 1: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol &quot;,'39','RD8','8','S','10','U','43','UD','41','UG','11','W')) END)&quot; when expecting one of the following: .

The "snippet" of Region Sql Select code that relates to the reported error is:

HTML DB version is: 1.6.0.00.67. I've also tried to Export/Import/Install the application into the "same" Workspace specifying the same schema, and only changing the Application ID. However, I get the same Install error (see above).
Any suggestions on things to try in order to get application into production is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Bernard.
