  • How to Save the "Document Info" Details Action Via

    I saved the "Document Info" details in illustrator manually using "Document Info Pannel". Could you please expain how to save the "Document Info" details through illustrator action.
    Thanks,

    When in the document info window of a file there is a small triangle in the top right corner from this you have fly out menus to save/delete or show metadata templates. You can use this to save groups of metadata. Once you have a bunch of groups you can quickly use this to set your info. Bridge will also allow you to append or replace metadata from these saved templates too

  • How to save a  vector art(for example, a circle) in a plugins?

    I want to write a plugin, and in it user can draw
    vector art, how to save this vector art in vector format ?

    If they need a vector object. Photoshop is not really the right program. Illustrator would be a better choice.
    In Photoshop the only formats that support vector are psd, pdf, and ai.
    Psd and pdf would create vector objects that would be more beneficial to someone using Photoshop.
    The ai format is the only true vector format that others can use. However it only exports paths and therefore can only be found in the paths panel. The issue is Photoshop does not apply a stroke or a fill to that path. If someone is not aware of that, they would think the document is blank.
    This file would have to be opened in illustrator and give the path a fill or stroke then save it.
    The reason pdf does not work as expected is the format supports both raster and vector objects. The creator of the file has to be very careful to use vector objects only. If you load the file into illustrator there is the possibility that it will not open. When illustrator saves a pdf it can embed an ai file into the pdf so it can open it. Photoshop can embed a psd file into a pdf but not an ai file. Illustrator requires the embedded ai in order to open the file.
    This is a long drawn out way to say Photoshop is not the right program, but it helps to understand why.

  • How to save vector work sharp for web?

    Hello guys, I need all your help!
    I am trying to import a full color vector work from illustrator into an iPad.
    The original illustrator file is about 10MB and I am trying to achive size that is under 128K.
    I used "save for web" but result is not sharp enough at all.
    Is there a better way to save without loosing much detail and still keep the size small from illustrator?
    Should I import to photoshop first to save?  I am just throwing ideas.
    Thanks,
    W.

    I have finally figure out how to save files in smaller size with out loose much quality but now I am encounter with the another issue.
    Files' (JPEG) typefaces are sharp and legible look perfect on iPad, when the same file (JPEG) imported to iPhone, the typeface was not able to read.
    iPad is much bigger than iPhone.  Images work perfect for iPad in theory it shouldn't have lack pixel issue.
    It really beats me.  I don't know how to figure this out.  If you have any idea, please let me know your insight.
    Thanks,
    W.

  • Save PDF from Illustrator CS3 with no bleed

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone knows how to save an Illustrator file to a pdf so that there is no margin or bleed. Basically, I want no white space to surround my content. Any ideas?
    TIA,
    Thomas

    >...how to save an Illustrator file to a pdf so that there is no margin or bleed.
    >...I want no white space to surround my content.
    Your second statement indicates you
    i do
    want bleed (artwork extends past trim size so that you have a borderless end-product).
    I'm going to assume the second statement more correctly represents what you want.
    Either...
    1. Adjust your artboard size so that your artwork extends beyond (or coincides exactly with*) the perimeter; or
    2. Draw a rectangle to your desired trim dimensions and use Object | Crop Area | Make.
    Then, save as PDF.
    {I based this on AI 12 (CS2), so details may differ.}
    *OK for screen PDF creation, but not recommended for press output. Bleed ensures your final piece is borderless even with slight trimming inaccuracy.

  • How to save from .ai to .png without a gap

    I created a repeating pattern. I made the artboard the exact size of the art. I zoomed in and there are no gaps around the edge. I saved it for web and devices png8 and the top has a gap with transparency showing through. When I use it as a web page background, there is a white stripe showing. I've tried twice to resave it but get the same gap.
    I'm trying to upload the two images using the camera icon but nothing happens after I select the image and click the "insert image" button. Again, I've tried twice without a different result. Please advise.
    Thank you.
    Please help.

  • How to save greyscale image as jpeg?

    Anyone know how to save a greyscale image as a jpeg in labview?

    Hi Jonathan,
    If I understand you correctly, you had a greyscaled image, which you applied color to and now want to save this new image.  Before I jump into possibly solutions, I have a question for you. 
    Are you using any IMAQ, Motion, or Vision VIs?  If not, try using the Picture Control VIs - specifically, the "Write JPEG File.VI"
    If that won't work, please post a small piece of code illustrating the issue.
    Thanks!

  • Saving a swatch on illustrator cc trial

    i have created swatches on illustrator cc trial but looks like it is not saving it. I s it because the trial doesnt allow you to save it or I m doing something wrong here???

    Swatches are linked to the actual file.
    Creating swatches in one document does not mean that those swatches will automatically be available in other/blank documents.
    What you want to do is to save Swatch Libraries (see Swatches palette flyout menu) and import them as and when required.
    Furthermore you may want to modify your custom document profiles and include the swatches there.

  • CS3 - Cannot save swatches as AI or ASE

    I have previously created custom swatch libraries in both .ai and .ase formats. For some reason, this is no longer possible. For example, after clicking Save Save Swatch Library as ASE, the standard window appears, but no matter what I try to name the file or where I try to save it, nothing happens. The window just sits open after I click Save. No error message...nothing. This must be something painfully simple. Any help is appreciated.
    I have already rebooted, tried other files, tried other swatches, and even reinstalled Illustrator. Previously created swatch files open without issue.

    I must say that I'm a bit confused as you are trying to make swatches out of illustrator but wanting to use them in indesign? Why not create the swatches from indesign instead or load them into indesign directly as Illustrator and Indesign can open the same swatch pallettes? You are creating more work.
    But if you must...
    Try deleting your preferences for Illustrator and then try saving your swatch pallette again and see if that helps.

  • ALV Grid: how to save changes made in an editable Grid

    Hi,
    How to save changes made bu the user in any of the editable cells in a ALV Grid?
    Regards,
    deb.

    Hi,
    If you are using the FM look at the following example code...
    data: LC_GLAY TYPE LVC_S_GLAY.
    LC_GLAY-EDT_CLL_CB = 'X'.<<<<<------
    gt_layout-zebra = 'X'.
    gt_layout-detail_popup = 'X'.
    gt_layout-colwidth_optimize = 'X'.
    call function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
    EXPORTING
    i_callback_program = i_repid
    i_callback_user_command = 'USER_COMMAND1'
    it_fieldcat = header
    is_layout = gt_layout
    i_callback_top_of_page = 'TOP-OF-PAGE1'
    i_grid_title = text-h17
    it_sort = gt_sort[]
    i_default = 'X'
    i_save = 'U'
    is_variant = gt_variant
    it_events = gt_events
    I_GRID_SETTINGS = LC_GLAY<<<<<<------
    TABLES
    t_outtab = itab.
    clear itab.
    Form USER_COMMAND1
    FORM USER_COMMAND1 USING u_ucomm LIKE sy-ucomm
    us_selfield TYPE slis_selfield."#EC CALLED
    case u_ucomm.
    when '&DATA_SAVE'.<<<<<<<<----
    This will come after the data was EDITTED and when SAVE was clicked by user in output scren.
    Here now in the final internal table(ITAB) you can find the data changed in EDIT mode.
    After this you can do manipulation what ever you want.
    Thanks.

  • How to save my voice memos in windows laptop as I already know how to synchronise ?

    How to save my voice memos from iPhone to windows laptop after syncronising with iTunes which memos are 1hr longer?

    Usually it goes to the last folder used or the folder the current PDF was opened from (I am getting the latter in my current Acrobat). If you want a different folder, you will have to go through the tree to your desired folder process.
