IDSCS5.5 How to determine if a pageitem was copy/pasted from Illustrator

Hi,
My flow is as follows:
- Open document in IndesignServer
- (XML)Tag every pageitem with our custom IndesignServer plugin (c++ SDK)
- If pageItem is a group, tag every member separately
- save/close the document
My problem is:
- If pageitem was copy/pasted from Illustrator and pageitem has a gradient fill => IndesignServer crashes while tagging.
- Copy/pasted illustrator items with plain colorfills work fine.
Note that:
- Copy pasted pageitems from illustrator with a gradient fill are considerated as group in Indesign.
- The gradient fill of Illustrator is not recognized as such in Indesign ( I could only test with Illustrator CS4).
- The lack of color information in that situation is not enough to consider the object as "from Illustrator".
My question:
- How can i determine if the origin of the pageitem is Illustrator? (I have no control on the creation of the document).
I know this is a hard one...
Thanks in advance for any usefull input!
Bart Devos.

How to find the folder (EBS_R12) in OEL 5 after copy/paste from Windows 7 ?

Folks,
Hello. I have just installed Oracle Linux 5 as Guest OS on the top of VMPlayer. Host OS is Windows 7.

Can any folks tell me where is the folder (EBS_R12) in Oracle Linux 5 after copy/paste from Windows 7 ?

If yes then you can do the following
#find / -name EBS_R12 -type d -print
(Assuming you copied the folder "EBS_R12" , But not its contents).

How can i Copy paste from e-mail to Notebook or textbook

How can i Copy pasta from some Content of e-mail to the notepad or textbook or word?

hold your finger down in the body of the mail - the part you want to copy. a blue box will comeup and offer to 'select/select all' or something like that. choose the appropriate choice. If you only want part of it that bubble will have two handles that allow you to drag out the selection box.
then hold your finger down again and another bubble will come up offering to cut/copy the words. choose copy
then navigate to your notes app (not sure about the textbook, depends on whether or not it support it) and hold your finger down in an empty text area. you'll get another blue bubble offering to paste it. choose that and the words should appear. then save as appropriate.

How to import style from mx.DataGrid into my DataGridExt (copy-paste from mx.DataGrid)

Ok, I managed to create the DataGridExt (copy-paste from mx.DataGrid). Don't ask me why I did this, it's a long story believe me.
But it is styleless. There's no skin set and that is what I expected.
The thing is, is there a nice/magical way to tell the DataGrid skin to be applied to DataGridExt?
Thanks for attention.

In case the question was not clear:
Is there a way to have all styles of mx.DataGrid applied to my custom control called DataGridExt?

How to determine if my system was compromised by the shellshock bug?

Is there any way to determine if my system was compromised / hacked? Is it enough to upgrade with "pacman -Syu" or should I reinstall the whole system?
Last edited by Bailando (2014-09-29 15:24:02)

The only way your system could have been compromised is if you or someone with access to your running system executed a Bash script that exploited the vulnerability. Which essentially means that in any instance in which a system was compromisd by this bug (and I'm not aware of any cases where that's actually happened) the bug itself isn't the primary security flaw.
Burning down your house because you suspect someone may have broken into it is ...well, I'm not sure there's a word to describe how extreme that response is relative to the threat. Especially if you're just going to rebuild the house and install the same locks you fear have failed you in the first place.

How do I keep my text formating when pasting from other InDesign files?

I'm trying to post charts from one InDesign file to another. The chart I'm trying to paste has hand-made fractions in them. The font is superscript and baseline shifted. When I paste it into a new document, the text loses all that formatting. It seems like a preferance thing, but I can't find it.

Even if Placing an .indd file retains the formatting, it's a non-starter. The reason I needed to paste the formatted text in the first place was to create a variation of the ad for a different purpose, so I need to be able to edit the text - something you can't do with a placed file.
For instance, I created an ad for an exhibit that includes the date of the reception and the address of the museum, etc. Then I want to create a poster for the wall of the exhibit, so I create a new document with different specs. Placing the ad copy would serve no use since I have to edit the copy (removing the address and reception date) and then readjust the emphasis of each line slightly.
Then I created another new file (RGB, tall and skinny) for the email invite. So I needed to copy the ad copy and again put emphasis in different places.
I hope you can see that there is a real need to be able to copy and paste manually formatted text from one document to another while retaining the special formatting. In these kinds of jobs there is no need to create a new style for each line of text since each line is tweaked and tweaked to death.
This copy & paste behavior is not intuitive and is obviously causing problems for users for no reason whatsoever except that "Adobe knows best". Why can't Adobe trust that I knew what I was going when I applied the formatting in the first place?
Considering how easy it it to remove formatting and revert to the original style, I would say the nod should be given to retaining formatting upon pasting. Both Word and Quark do this, so it's not anything unusual. Or give us the choice with a Paste Special dialog. But saying this behavior is "as designed" or suggesting you need to place a file or PDF, is not the solution.

I want higher resolution then afforded in the original download.
Then why are you converting iTunes purchases?
You cannot get higher resolution by converting the original. This goes for converting anything, not just iTunes purchases.
Creating an AIFF will simply make the file 10 time as large with zero increase in quality.
Don't really want to debate value of creating the new version.
Agreed.
You are simply wasting time and drive space converting iTunes purchases to AIFF.

How to keep 300dpi resolution when saving a jpeg from illustrator

Use file >> export >>jpeg>resolution >> custom 300
Sounds like you were using save for web.

How can I save a text file to disk from Illustrator ?

Hi,
I was looking through the Javascript reference and couldn't find anything related to writing strings to a text file on disk.
Is this possible ? If so where should I look ?
Otherwise, can I run a bit of code in Terminal/CommandPrompt from Illustrator (.e.g. echo 'Hello!' >> file.txt) ?

Here's something that I think Muppet Mark or Carlos Canto posted earlier
#target illustrator
var textFile = File('~/Desktop/AI.txt');
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var docText = '';
for (var i = 0; i < doc.textFrames.length; i++)
docText += doc.textFrames[i].contents + '\r';
textFile.open('e');
textFile.write(docText);
textFile.close();

How to copy Shape from illustrator CC to Photoshop CC?

I want to cope Shape from illustrator CC to Photoshop CC, however I found when I copy the Shape from illustrator and paste it in Photoshop, the style of Shape has changed. like the color changed to the foreground color of Photoshop , and the stroke also lost.
I want to keep the style as the same as in illustrator , what should I need to do ?

when you paste into photoshop, you should get some options as to what you want photoshop to import the shape as. if you select 'shape layer' you get the result you describe (a shape masking the foreground colour). choose one of the other options, depending on how you're going to use it.

How to initiate copy/paste from menu in projector?

I have a projector that uses a MenuMember to create a
standard menu across the top i.e.:
FILE EDIT HELP
I have several text, (not field), but text members that are
editable where the user inputs text information. Pretty basic and
simple. If they use the keyboard commands for Copy, Paste, Select
All & Cut those commands work fine in the text field and behave
as you would normally expect.
My question is, under my EDIT menu, I want to have the normal
CUT,COPY,PASTE,SELECT ALL selections that you would expect to find.
Right now I have no behaviors attached to them in my menuMember so
they don't do anything if you go to EDIT -> PASTE.
I have been looking for a handler to attach to the menuMember
that would perform those functions. For example my menuMember text
would look like this:
menu: File
Save/S | SaveHandler
Quit | quit
menu: Edit
Copy/C | CopyHandler
Paste/V | PasteHandler
Select All/A | SelectAllHandler
Cut/X | CutHandler
So far I haven't been able to figure out any handler that
would perform those functions upon the text field that has the
focus. Oh sure, the manual keyboard equivalents WILL work, but most
people also expect to see those choices in the edit menu as well
and expect them to behave the same way.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Dan

Hi,
There's a 'publish' settings (or maybe a movie setting)
called "editShortcutsenabled' - if true, command-c (etc) will work.
There might be some tricky way of evoking these functions with
Lingo (not sure if DMX2004 has some new lingo), but you can do it
manually using Valentin's free clipboard xtra (
http://staff.dasdeck.de/valentin/xtras/clipboard/)
. For example, try these functions
on SelectAll()
whichSprite = the keyBoardFocusSprite
if whichSprite > 0 then
whichMember = sprite(whichSprite).member
if voidP(whichMember) then exit
mType = whichMember.type
case (mType) of
#field, #text:
whichMember.selection = [0, whichMember.text.length]
otherwise
put "Dont know how to 'select all' in the case of a"
&& mType
end case
end if
end
on CopySelection ()
whichSprite = the keyBoardFocusSprite
if whichSprite > 0 then
whichMember = sprite(whichSprite).member
if voidP(whichMember) then exit
mType = whichMember.type
case (mType) of
#field, #text:
s = whichMember.selection
txt = whichMember.text.char[s[1]..s[2]]
clipSetData("TEXT", txt)
otherwise
put "Dont know how to copy from a" && mType
end case
end if
end
on CutSelection ()
whichSprite = the keyBoardFocusSprite
if whichSprite > 0 then
whichMember = sprite(whichSprite).member
if voidP(whichMember) then exit
mType = whichMember.type
case (mType) of
#field, #text:
s = whichMember.selection
txt = whichMember.text.char[s[1]..s[2]]
clipSetData("TEXT", txt)
oldtext = whichMember.text
if s[1] > 0 then
newtext = oldtext.char[1..s[1]]
newtext = newtext & oldtext.char[s[2]..oldtext.length]
else
if s[2] = 0 then
newtext = oldtext
else if s[2] = oldtext.length then
newtext = ""
else
newtext = oldtext.char[s[2]..oldtext.length]
end if
end if
whichMember.text = newtext
otherwise
put "Dont know how to copy from a" && mType
end case
end if
end
on PasteClipboard ()
whichSprite = the keyBoardFocusSprite
if whichSprite > 0 then
whichMember = sprite(whichSprite).member
if voidP(whichMember) then exit
mType = whichMember.type
case (mType) of
#field, #text:
txt = clipGetData("TEXT")
InsertText(whichMember, txt)
otherwise
put "Dont know how to paste into a" && mType
end case
else
put "what do I paste into?"
end if
end
on InsertText (inMember, txt)
s = inMember.selection
oldtext = inMember.text
if s[1] > 0 then
newtext = oldtext.char[1..s[1]]
newtext = newtext & txt
newtext = newtext & oldtext.char[s[2]..oldtext.length]
else

newtext = txt & oldtext

CS4 How to disable anti alias when pasting from Illustrator to Photoshop?

Hello,
I'm trying to paste vector artwork from Illustrator into Photoshop but it seems no matter what I do Photoshop anti aliases the illustration. Is there a way to keep this from happening?
The whole point of making the art in Illustrator was to keep the edges clean and the colors limited.
Your suggestions are much appreciated.

In Illustator >> Object >> Rasterize >> Anti-aliasing>> None
Copy and paste this into Photoshop.
Or
Illustrator >> File >> Export >> psd >>turn off anti alias
