How to get gradient fill color in Illustrator

I have button drawing for web in Adobe Illustrator format. I'm trying to get fill settings to create the same look with CSS. I can't find what color to use and gradient settings.

Eugene,
In the Window dropdown list (in the row at the very top starting with File), can you tick Gradient, and if so, what happens?

Please help me how to take the "Spot Color" in illustrator?

Hi,
Please help me how to take the "spot color in illustrator CS" using vb script (or) java script.
Regards,
Prabudass E.

Prabudass, If you are just wanting to see if the illustrator file uses spot colors - run the Delete Unused Panel items from the default actions. then view the swatch palette in small or large List View. The color names that have a square containing a gray circle (spot) to the right of their color names are spot colors. The following will get the spot color name of an existing swatch named "Color1" and change it to "Nicks Swatch" and will assign the CMYK values stated. if (app.documents.length > 0){ var swatches = app.activeDocument.spots; for(i=0;i<swatches.length;i++){ var currSwatch = swatches[i]; if(currSwatch.name == "Color1") {currSwatch.name = "Nicks Swatch"; var newColor = new CMYKColor(); newColor.cyan = 35; newColor.magenta = 0; newColor.yellow = 50; newColor.black = 0; currSwatch.color = newColor; } }} When this script has run the swatch palette will not immediately reflect the changes to the swatch name until you double click on a swatch and click OK or Cancel in the Edit Swatch dialog. I hope that I have understood your question correctly and that these responses are helpful. Good Luck Nick

How to get the "CMYK" Color percentages?

Could you please advise me how to get the "CMYK" Color percentages of every pixel via scripting.

You have to be patched to the 10.0.2 version of FM and you must use the CMYK option with SaveAsPDF. If thee colour is defined as Spot in the FM file, it should remain as a spot colour in th PDF. However, that being said, the CMYK route is still a bit wonky (even in FM12) and you may get odd results in your PDF.
Alternatives are to make the fix in Acrobat with the Print Production tools (or even better to use a third-party tool like Enfocus Pro) or to use GrafikHuset's (now freebie) PubliPDF to convert FM's RGB postscript output to CMYK+Spot PDFs.

How to incorporate gradient fill in embedded files in Illustrator CC?

I've placed File B (a circle with a gradient fill) inside File A (simple blue background).
When I embed File B the gradient is not treated as a regular fill - instead it gets a weird double mask around it (see attached)
Is there a way to embed and expand a file with a gradient inside of it in such a way that the gradient is preserved as a regular fill?

I will be doing this for multiple files and really need to embed external files to optimize my workflow as opposed to Copy and Paste solution. But I guess if there is not way to avoid the masks I'll just have to do it manually.

How to get the "Document Info" in illustrator

In illustrator using "Document Info" we can get the file information. Like that how to get the document information using script. Anyone please help me.
Regards,
Prabudass

I think sample code in the SDK contains a 'skeleton' plugin, I'd start with that. It should also provide a list of suites that get automatically loaded, I think it's in Suites.h. Just make sure AIDocumentSuite is in the list, and if it's not, just follow the examples in that file to add it. That should end up with a global variable called 'sDocument', which has all the suite functions as methods.
Then it's something like:
AIDocumentSetup setup;
AIErr error = sDocument->GetDocumentSetup(&setup);
// check error to make sure it's kNoErr
Then you just have to inspect the setup struct for (hopefully) the answers you're looking for.

How to get name of color from Color class

Hi there,
I'm just starting my adventure with java and just on the beginning of this trip I found some issue.
How to get something like this:
String getColorName(Color var) { ??? }
String test = getColorName(Color.RED); // test = "red"; or test = "RED";Thank in advance for some constructive ideas

dcminter, would You say it in other words, because I'm not following You.
Do You mean by that to create class like below with some connection inside ??
public class ColorMap {
     private String name;
     private Color color;
public String toString() {
     return name;
I suppose that's one way to do it. Or you could just use the [Map |http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/collections/interfaces/map.html] interface.
Another option is to simply make the JButton the color it represents, instead of displaying some String with a color name. That way you could support any color pretty easily.

How to get custom iCal colors to carry over to iPad or iPhone calendars

How do I get custom calendar colors designated on my iMac to carry over to my iPad or iPhone? It used to do so, and now it no longer does.

Thanks Joe. We have discovered from this forum, actually, that if you send the photos from the iPhone, if that's where they were taken, then you are asked what size.
"If you send from the camera, then you get the option of reducing the size. If you send from your other photos synced from your computer, they don't have that option of reducing."
I tested it by sending a couple of photos taken by my iPhone, and sure enough, was asked as to size. Then sent the same two photos from my iPad (Photostream) and was not asked. Interestingly though, the sizes were identical in both emails.

What you see is not what you get (gradient fills in text boxes do not reder

I have a web page that has a lot of text boxes with gradient fills. Some of these render correctly in Safari but many do not. They all look fine in iWeb. I copied one that rendered correctly and the pasted version did not. (the gradient fill did not cover the entire text box) Text boxes with two lines of text seem to have the most problems. Most copied text boxes also have problems.

Using a shape with a gradient fill and dragging a plain text box on top of it instead of just filling a text box with a gradient fill does work. However, Im not sure the problem is converting my text to an image as the html still has my text inside of tags even with the gradient fill. It seems like iweb should produce web pages that look exactly like what is shown in iweb.
So my question is not completely answered, but I do have a work around. Thanks

How to get the same colored labels as in the gmail web interface?

Hi,
I would like to get the same preview in Mail.app (with different colored labels) as in Gmail. Currently, my Gmail account in synced with Mail.app, hence I have access to all my mailboxes (hence all my labels). I would like to add a rule which reads as :
if Message is in (gmail label mailbox)
then Set color to (color)
However, this feature doesn't seem to be here. Basically, how to automatically colored a message being in a given mailbox (to get a nice rainbow in my general Inbox).
Thanks in advance!
Damien

I'm pretty sure you can't do that in Mail. If you do find out, post back—I'd like to know too!

Getting lines between colors in Illustrator

Hi,
I have a problem and I'm looking for some advice. I dropped a raster image into Illustrator (AI) and with Live Trace, turned it into a vector image that looks excellent on my monitor. However, when I load the vector file into a PDF and then open the PDF, I see small, light gray hairlines between the colors.
I'm making a product label for a client. He wants a particular photograph (JPEG) for the background. The printing house wants vector images in CMYK.
I'm fairly new to AI and probably not using "approved methods" although I took what I thought were logic steps to achieve my desired end.
I took the RGB JPEG, converted it to a .tiff in CMYK. I also tried converting the JPEG to .bmp and .esp - all in CMYK, before moving to AI. I Also tried placing the JPEG directly into AI.
I dropped those images into Illustrator separately and did Live Traces on each. At this stage, each attempt gave me excellent vector images in CMYK, but went wonky when I transfer to PDF.
Oddly, when I make a hard copy of that PDF on a hi rez digital printer (2400 dpi), the lines do not appear. However, I am still very concerned about those lines, because I will be sending a job off to be done on four-color offset printing. I'm sure the printer will freak out if he sees those lines and I am even more concerned that those lines may show up in the four-colour print process.
A local graphics person I spoke with suggested I would find my solution in Pathfinder, but I tinkered with that feature quite a bit and could not resolve the problem. Although, I wonder yet if that may be where I might find the solution, because when I hit Expand the blue path lines seem to correspond with the troublesome gray lines.
Someone else told me to hit Expand and then turn off Stroke. I believe I did that correctly, but there was no difference. I also saw no difference when I applied the maximum value for the Stroke. Other attempts at finding a remedy included Resample deselected, then Resample with a resolution of 300,
This project is driving me nuts and I'm hoping I can find some help.
Matt

@ Gustavo
I did not attempt going back to Photoshop with the PDF, but when I loaded that PDF into AI, the lines were not there.....strange!
As you will note from the above comments, I have found a solution to my problem, but I am posting an enlarged screenshot of part of an image showing these lines, just so you'll see the snag ran into.
Now, if anyone else asks about this, you'll be able to help them avoid the frustration I encountered.
