How to convert all artwork in single layer ? no group / a single layer - illustrator

Hello,
So now i'm here to ask for some help in illustrator.
In illustrator i design some artwork and now the total layers are about several hundreads. so now i'm about to combine all those artowrk layers in one layer, so that it will be a nice clean file with text layers that are to edit and one single artwork background layer.
Are there anyways ?

...but it forms a new group and i'm trying to form a new layer so that it contains all artwork but it's a layer [no group].
That's why Steve said you can thereafter simply Ungroup. When you do, everything will be on the same Layer.
Steve's suggestion is taking advantage of the fact that in Illustrator, you can't have members of a Group spanning Layers. Whenever you have a Group, all its members are on the same Layer. So when you Group objects which presently reside on different Layers, they all get moved to the same Layer. So simply invoking Group followed by Ungroup does what you want.
You seem to be confused about what Groups/Layers are. The confusion is common in Illustrator.
Just think of an Illustrator file as a list of objects. Just think of a Layer as a pair of invisible "brackets" around a single range of items in that list. Just think of a Group as the same thing; it's just another pair of brackets around a single range of items in the same list. Both of the "brackets" of a Group have to be between the "brackets" of a single Layer.
Ill Illustrator, the Layers palette doesn't just list Layers. It also lists all the objects in the document. So the vast majority of the listings in the Layers palette are not Layers; they are just objects which reside within a Layer.
Every object resides on a Layer. You can't have an object that isn't in a Layer. That's why every document contains at least one Layer.
An object does not have to reside in a Group. But if it does, that Group resides within a single Layer. A Group is one of the kinds of objects which can reside in a Layer.
All objects in a Group are contiguous. There are no "jumps" or "gaps" between the objects in a Group. They are all next to each other in the list.
All objects in a Layer are contiguous. There are no "jumps" or "gaps" between the objects in a Layer. They are all next to each other in the list.
So again, just think of a Layer as a pair of "brackets" around a portion of a list of objects. Just think of a Group as an optional pair of "sub brackets" within the "brackets" of a single Layer.

How to convert all old (pre-Office 2007) documents in portal to new (Office Open XML, Office 2007+) formats?

Good day.
We have create a single SharePoint 2013 farm and manually copied in it all documents from old SharePoint 2007 server portal.
The question is how to automate covertation from old document format to new office in all librarys?
"Word Automation Services" able to convert only Word's documents, not Excel.
The single method what I think, is to use bulk convert utility ofc.exe from Microsoft Office Migration Planning Manager with powershell's ability to get all items from all librarys from site collection.
Can someone has faced with it and has a ready work example?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to convert all office file to the latest 2007 format.
We found this tool called MS Office Migration Planning Manager:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=13580cd7-a8bc-40ef-8281-dd2c325a5a81&DisplayLang=en#filelist
After extracting it, going to the Tools folder and modified the ofc.ini file to specify which folder to scan and convert etc.
Then running the ofc.exe and except some files didn't convert successfully, others is ok.

How to convert all anchors in Illustrator to corners?

How can i convert all anchors in Illustrator to corners? "Convert selected anchor points to corner" function does not work or i might not use it properly.
i use Direct Select tool on half of the object points and click on "CSAPC" - and it does not do anything.
does any one knows how to do that?

Woohooo! it works!!
found how to use scricps just before your answer.
hade to use 1% for the script - why does it do a funny thing to the object when you use 100%?
script also breackes the line but not the path.

How to convert all Caf files to WAV/mp3?

I have been using Soundtrack pro to edit my audio for videos, but I am going to make the move to Pro Tools. The Apple sound effects and loops are really nice, but pretty much no applications support them. I have been exporting the cafs in Compressor to mp3s, but they are not replacing the old ones and staying in the files that I need them to stay them in for the sake of organization. Is there a way to batch export all of these caf files and RETAIN their location in their specific folders (i.e. animals, Sci-Fi, Foley)?
If so, please tell me how! Thanks!

I am not sure about batch converting all your files. But if you want to get them into a Pro Tools session you can send your sequence back to Final Cut and then export an OMF. You can use CAF files in final cut directly and when the OMF is created they make it into Pro Tools fine.

How to convert from Grayscale to single color channel

I hope that someone here might be able to help. I am writing an application which loads in color channels separately, to be merged by the application The images are multi-page TIFF files. The trouble that I am running into is that the application loads the images into grayscale, so when I merge the channels, they are merged as grayscale, not as the correct colors.
I use the following on each color channel to load them in:
public static BufferedImage[] loadTiff(File multiPageFile, int colour) {
    BufferedImage[] img = null;
    ArrayList<BufferedImage> tmp = new ArrayList<BufferedImage>();
    try {
        SeekableStream stream = new FileSeekableStream(multiPageFile);
        String[] names = ImageCodec.getDecoderNames(stream);
        ImageDecoder dec = ImageCodec.createImageDecoder(names[0], stream, null);
        int numPages = dec.getNumPages();
        for (int i=0; i<numPages; i++) {
         try {
                RenderedImage im = dec.decodeAsRenderedImage(i);
                BufferedImage bi = PlanarImage.wrapRenderedImage(im).getAsBufferedImage();
          //In case not all pages are valid images, we use ArrayList as it is dynamic
          tmp.add(bi);
            }catch (RuntimeException re) {
          //Once the exception is caught, we can decode the layer here for whatever means.
    }catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
        System.err.println("File not found.");
        fnfe.printStackTrace();
    }catch (Exception e) {
        System.err.println("General Exception caught");
        e.printStackTrace();
    //Convert to an array to be returned.
    img = new BufferedImage[tmp.size()];
    for (int i=0; i<img.length; i++) {
        img[i] = tmp.get(i);
    return img;
}So a BufferedImage array is returned (one element in the array for each page in the multi-page file). Before I return the BufferedImage array, though, it would be good to convert it to the correct color. I know which channel is currently being loaded. Does anyone have any tips on how to shift from a grayscale intensity to a single color intensity? I have tried a number of things regarding byte shifting, but I am really none the wiser.
I have tried, for example, reading the int color value:
int color = bi.getRGB(w,h);The trouble is that this number is not in the region 0..255, so I don't know how I can use it. If I shift the number:
color = color>>16I get a number smaller than 255 (although it seems to be negative), but I don't know whether I can use this value for a single color channel, i.e. if the current color is red, saying:
Color redC = new Color(color, 0, 0);
bi.setRGB(w,h,redC); //Slow and inefficient. There must be a better way.When I try doing that, I end up with nothing drawn or visible.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Edited by: doughnuts64 on Jun 12, 2008 6:27 AM

Thanks for the response. It has been helpful in getting my problem sorted. I was not creating a new BufferedImage - I was just using the one that had been loaded in, and as such had not realised that the type was not TYPE_INT_RGB. As soon as I instantiated a new BufferedImage of the same dimensions and colour TYPE_INT_RGB as you suggested, it worked! So thanks for that.
Whilst that does work, it does slow the application incredibly as it has so much data to cycle through. Ideally, I would be able to load the image in directly as the colour channel in question, rather than loading in as grayscale. This way, the application would only require the amount of time needed to load in the images, not to process them on a pixel-by-pixel basis (typical images are made up of over 16,000,000 pixels for each colour channel, and we typically load two files in at once - both for separate colour channels, so over 32,000,000 pixels to process).
As I am loading in multi-page tiff files, I am having to use the JAI (Java Advanced Imaging) toolkit. I use the following code to load in my multi-page tiff into a BufferedImage array, where each element of the array represents one of the 'pages' in the multi-page tiff file:
SeekableStream stream = new FileSeekableStream(multiPageFile);
String[] names = ImageCodec.getDecoderNames(stream);
ImageDecoder dec = ImageCodec.createImageDecoder(names[0], stream, null);
int numPages = dec.getNumPages();
BufferedImage[] finalImage = new BufferedImage[numPages];
for (int i=0; i<numPages; i++) {
     RenderedImage im = dec.decodeAsRenderedImage(i);
     finalImage[i] = PlanarImage.wrapRenderedImage(im).getAsBufferedImage();
     //...colour changing code currently here - loops through finalImage array, and on every pixel of every layer
...To be able to automatically convert the colour channel without having to loop on every pixel (and thus save an incredible amount of loading time) would be helpful.
Thanks.

HT1711 how to convert all music to MP3

Hi all you MAC Users out there,
I was trying to think when the last time I had to call or write in. I think it was 1985 on the how could anyone in those days forget the never changing old 800 number.
I know some of you die-hards remember those days and that Apple SOS number!
I bought new heasgear for my wheels and it holds a ton more if they are MP3.
Most of Tunes are already convered to MP3 of which I myself never did. Some of my Tunes are already MP3, but some are not.
Could someone send me a link to the place explaining how to switch convert them over?
Many thanks for you time and help.

How to keep all charts in single page?

Hello,
I'm using SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services. At this moments in one report I have created a lot of charts.
Now it is need to show all the charts in single page.
At this moment my idea is to create rectangle, put all the charts into it and set rectangle's property KeepTogether: True.
Before that I would like to ask if is there any faster solution for this task?

How to convert all Word file Hyperlinks?

Hi,
I am having some problems related to hyperlinks.
I am using Word 2003 SP3 to create 'index_file.doc'. In this file, there are lots of hyperlinks (20 to 30 pages full of them) that are redirected towards PDF files that are in 2 folders ('folder1' and 'folder2' placed next to 'index_file.doc').
Then I try converting 'index_file.doc' to create 'index_file.pdf' so that nobody can change is with Word. To do so, I am using Acrobat Standard version 8.2.2. I want to keep every hyperlink activated. Works fine...on the first 15 pages! After that, there is a 50% average of links that work. And the ones that don't work don't have any path problem, it's just that some links are not links at all after conversion. Looks like it's only text.
I already had the same problem with another index recently but managed to avoid the problem this way: in Word, instead of selecting a whole sentence and creating a hyperlink I selected the whole sentence exept the first letter of the first word of that sentence, and it worked great! (why???)
So I did that also on the file I am having problems with now and it worked for a lot of links but not all of them.
Is there a maximum of hyperlinks Acrobat can convert from DOC files to PDF files? Is there a setting I can change to make all links work? Do you have any ideas? The links on the Word file work just fine (all of them).
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, there really are links in the Word file and they all work fine until a certain point where they don't work or some do and some don't but the 15 first pages work just fine and every link has been created the same way. All links are relative.
It does work to enter the links in the pdf file directly through Acrobat but I wanted to know if there was a way to just convert it since all the info is in the Word file.
Has anybody ever hade this kind of problem before? Because this is the second time it happens to me.

How to Convert all PSDs/TIFFs to JPEGs within subfolders (no "JPEG" folder)?

Hello all, I come to you with what I hope is a fairly simple question and I would put it in scripting if needed but I'm not a scripter. I am sifting through many terabyte drives trying to track down all large image files and delete them after making an identically sized JPEG. I can create actions or use the File->script->Image Processor or some other method you suggest.
There is a drive in question with hundreds of folders broken down by a client number and occasionally we'll design something as a psd. Well after each year we like to keep the images but do not need the multilayered psd/tiff files any longer. I would love something to grab every psd/tiff on the drive and convert it to jpg (and delete psd afterward but that I can do by hand). However both batch and image processor have drawbacks that don't allow me to do this. Can anyone help?
Is there a way to make the Image Processor not save in a "JPEG" folder but in the true "same location" as it stipulates. I have bound it to a hotkey and am currently dragging in chunks at a time, then going into the folders, cutting/pasting, then deleting the jpeg folders, then deleting the psds... it's quite cumbersome.
Ideally the files wouldn't go through the GUI so it would be speedier but not necessary. I can use Photoshop or Bridge CS3. I am finding the files by windows searching extensions so if possibly a droplet or something could allow this, I'd use that as well. Any tips are greatly appreciated.

You might want to post this to the Photoshop Scripting Forum.
Good luck,

How to convert all white - alpha for vector image?

I'm attempting to make a new font. Currently I've been saving all the png -> vector images that I work with as .AI files, so that I can import them into my font program later, and they open fine in illustrator. The problem is, I usually save my vector images with a white background instead of alpha. Now, I need to replace white with alpha, but I can't find a magic wand in illustrator . Any help?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I only knew the most fundamental differences between raster and vector: that raster images are saved in dots while vector images are saved in, at the simpliest, lines.
Not "dots"; pixels. Pixels are simply color values. That's all. Raster programs arrange color values in a rectangular grid of same-size rectangles (usually squares).
Not "lines"; paths. Paths are discrete individual objects. Paths are stacked, independently moved, freely arranged, scaled, filled, stroked, and otherwise manipulated as individual objects.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
But I'd have thought there was a way to quickly delete the white lines
There is no "vector image" with a background. Where there are no objects, there is no "background." If a path is there, regardless of whether it has a white fill, a white stroke, or fill(s) and/or stroke(s) of any other color or no color at all, the path is there and can be deleted. (Again, there is no substitute for learning to use the program from the documentation.)
Technically, paths are mathematically-defined curves. So even a "straight line" is a path, and is technically a curve. The specific kind of mathematically-defined curve used in programs like Illustrator is called a Bezier curve.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I have no idea how hard it is to create a vector image from scratch.
It's not rocket science. Anyone can learn it. But again, you have to learn it. There is no substitute for learning to use the program from the documentation.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I myself am mostly a newbie in both hemispheres of the graphic design world.
It shows. And there's certainly nothing wrong with that. We all started as beginners. I'm not trying to belittle you: I'm offering you sound advice that will serve as a very valuable shortcut to becoming more than a beginner (if you will accept it) without an unnecessary amount of fumbling around with bad practices.
Just don't ever claim to a client or in a job interview to know anything at all about any mainstream general-purpose vector drawing program (of which Illustrator is just one) until you are proficient at drawing Bezier curves. That's prerequisite. It's lesson one in chapter one. Might as well start there. Start at the correct beginning and you'll know all the answers to the questions you have asked in this thread. Your understanding of "background" and things like why a region with no objects is not the same thing as an alpha channel in a raster image will come very early if you just start at the beginning. You've got to learn the lay of the land. Start at the beginning.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
In any case, I use a program called vectormagic that does the work for me pretty well, so you might want to check it out.
Trust me; I'm familiar with it. It's just another autotrace program. I know what it does. I know how "well" it does it. Everything I said in the previous post stands.
Vector drawing programs are not the kind of program you learn by just launching it and poking around. Not if you want to avoid endless confusion and frustration. Asking random questions in an online user forum (in which wrong "answers" are just as common as right answers) everytime you encounter a point of confusion is just as inefficient. Read the documentation.

How to extract all tcodes from a particluar User Group

Folks,
I need to derive all the tcodes that are associated with a particular User Group. I have tried various options under SUIM and have also checked many tables such as TSTC and USR02 and many more. But none of them just list out tcodes for a User group. Can some one help ? Thanks !

Hi Karthik,
I don't think you can directly find out the t-codes that are associated with a particular user group.You have to concatenate a few tables in order to find the same.
1.You will need to find out the list of users belonging to the user group first.
Go to USR02
Enter * in the user name field,
Enter the name of the user group,
Execute - This will give u the list of users belonging to an user group
2.Find the list of roles that are associated with these users.
Go to AGR_USERS
In the user field upload the list of users
Execute - This will give the list of roles that are associated with these users.
3.Find the t-codes that are contained in the list of above roles.
Go To AGR_1251
Upload the list of roles there,
In the field Object, Enter S_TCODE
Execute - This will give u the desired output i.e t-codes that are associated with a particular user group.
Thanks,
Saby..

The single most fundamental concept you need to understand (grok in its fullness) is:
ORACLE IS NOT SQL-SERVER
There is very little, to NOTHING, in common between T-SQL (a language extension to SQL) and PL/SQL (integration of SQL with the language Ada, part of ALGOL family of languages that includes Pascal and C++).
So taking a T-SQL procedure and porting it as is to PL/SQL is plain stupid.
Why?
Oracle sucks at trying to be SQL-Server.
So how do you migrate from SQL-Server to Oracle?
By taking the REQUIREMENTS that the T-SQL procedures address, and addressing these requirements using Oracle SQL and PL/SQL.

How to convert tabs between the words in a String to a single space in java

I have a string with more number of tabs in between them, the thing I need to do is that I need to convert all those tabs into a single space.
I used replaceAll(“/t”,” “); but the problem is that it was converting the tabs into spaces but if we have a 3 tabs in between 2 words then this 3 tabs are converting into 3 spaces but I need to have only one space.

user548049,
How is your question related to the topic of this forum: Oracle Database-embedded JVM?
Anyway, you need to use the greedy qualifier: +, like so:
