Illustrator cs2 plugin code???

Hi all,
I m trying to develop a plugin that loads in illustrator cs2 on mac os...
It would be helpful if anyone of you could provide me the code of any plugin which would build on my system...just to get an idea of how it works...
I m using:
MAC OS X 10.4.3
CodeWarrior pro version 8.3/8.0 (or) Xcode 2.5
Illustrator CS2
Someone pls help... Or i just want to know if it is possible to develop a plugin with these specifications...I know that we can develop plugins with codewarrior 9.4 but thats not available right now.. I tried converting the codewarrior 9.4 sample codes into xcode using the codewarrior 8.3 as the pdf said so.. that only gives errors.. Someone suggest something..pls..
thanks..

AIDocumentSuite::GetDocumentFileSpecification() should get you that information. Note that it will only work properly if you've already saved the document (or opened it from a file). I'm not sure what the result looks like if you're calling that on a new, unsaved file.

  • Access applescript in illustrator CS2 plugin

    Does anyone have an update to the ASScripting.h file that allows for the execution of applescript with Illustrator CS2. Can compile plugin but get runtime errors on applescript. My ASScripting.h is from Illustrator 10 is there a new and improved version?

    If you are storing the files anywhere other than Users -> yourname folder for the logged in username, you may have difficulty with permissions.
    Create your own folder there and put the files all inside that folder. Then you can click once on the folder, and select Get Info from the file menu.  Manage your Ownership and permissions for the entire folder from that Get info folder.
    Things not to do: do not install Adobe applications anywhere other than Hard drive -> Applications folder or a subfolder of which that Adobe installs it.  You may have to reinstall Illustrator and check your license is managed on that Adobe installation.
    Repair permissions when done with Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility, and reboot.

  • Convert Indesign CS2 plugin to Xcode 3?

    Hi all,
    I want to compile a sample plugin project given in the InDesign CS2 SDK using xcode 3.
    How can i go about this?
    Any documentation about porting InDesign CS2 plugin code to Xcode 3?
    I want to do this since im not able to get CW 9.3 to develop a CS2 plugin.
    Thanks
    myriaz

    If your goal is to use Xcode to write CS2 plugin, you can forget about it.
    My understanding is, CS2 is locked with CodeWarrior's ABI and Xcode (GCC) uses a different ABI.

  • How to develop a simple plugin for adobe illustrator cs2 using xcode on mac os

    I would like to know the steps to develop a simple plug-in for adobe illustrator cs2 using xcode on mac OS...anything like a dialog box displaying "hello World"... I m new to MAC OS...Please help...
    Thanks in advance

    Get the SDK and start playing with the sample plug-ins. Asking for something as general as "how do I get started" is asking a little much from this forum :) Try your hand at the SDK and come back to ask more specific questions as you run into them.
    Bear in mind that this isn't an Xcode forum either, though I'm sure there are places to get good help on that!

  • How do I get my authorization code for adobe illustrator cs2?

    I have the adobe illustrator cs2 disc with serial number...etc. But I can not seem to get the authorization number, please help me?

    Bella,
    In addition to what Monika said, since the activation servers for CS2 were closed down, your unique serial number and your disks will fail. The only way is to download the non activation versions along with the generic serial number(s). And if you have the Premium, you will have to download Acrobat and GoLive separately as standalone versions.

  • Porting Illustrator CS plugin into CS2

    It is said in a pdf that cs2 plugins wil run on cs3. Will CS plugins run on CS2? Will it be compatible? I m using MAC OS X..

    Not easily. Plugins on CS2 and newer are Mach-O binaries, CS and older are PEF binaries. XCode can only generate Mach-O binaries, Codewarrior can generate either IIRC.
    It is possible to do a PEF wrapper on a Mach-O library, but the learning curve on this is rather steep.

  • How to automate Brushes in Illustrator CS2

    Hi All,
    How to automate Brushes in Illustrator CS2 like getting the Brush name,Deleting a brush etc .Which header file & Member function should i use ?can any one give me any code snippets?
    IDE:Microsoft Visual Studio .net 2003
    Thanks in Advance

    Still got the problem that after sAIObjectSet->DeleteObject the brush (Pattern on Path) isn't deleted but has a funky name "Deleted Plugin Object 1".
    Any correct way of making deletion of a brush work, if I already know the brush's name (and what kind it is).
    I also have tried various selectors with sAIPlugin->CallPlugin with AIObjectSetMessage.
    I'd be happy using sAIDictionary instead of sAIObjectSet if there were a hint how to get the dictionary with those brushes, and I'll be happy with separate dictionaries per the separate brush plug-ins, just like the object sets are per brush plug-in.
    But how to get to those brushes dictionaries, if they exist?
    Rest of my plug-in works great, but can't use it or give it to anyone as long as it keeps amassing brushes and I can't clean it up.

  • Illustrator CS2 stopped launching

    My OS is 32 bit Windows Vista. My CPU is a Core 2 Duo. Adobe Illustrator CS2 used to work on my computer, but now it won't launch. It also won't reinstall or uninstall.
    I went to the Windows Control Panel for uninstalling programs. When I highlighted the listing for Illustrator, the "remove program" button did not appear.
    I tried to replace Illustrator CS2 with the academic version of Illustrator 10. When I entered the correct registration code for Illustrator 10, I got an error message that stated the registration code I entered was incorrect. I compared the registration code on the Illustrator 10 packaging with the registration code I entered more than 10 times. There can be no doubt that I entered the correct registration code. This registration code worked in 2001.

    benh,
    This multiple issue seems rather strange. The ultimate cure might be to go back in time to a more stable condition of your computer if that is possible, or to argh reinstall everything including the OS.
    To get CS2 to run again, you may try to Move the folder (follow the link with that name).
    Or you may try to:
    1) RightClick the shortcut;
    2) Click Properties;
    3) Click Compatibility;
    4) Tick Run this program in Compatibility mode for, then select XP in the dropdown list;
    5) Try to start.

    Hi,
    How to get the Image width & height of an Image using javascript .Im using Illustrator CS2.
    Any sample code
    Regards
    MyRiaz

    you can reference the dimensions of a loading image (or swf)
    by referencing the target movieclip's dimensions AFTER loading is
    complete. ie, use preloader code or the onLoadInit() method of a
    moviecliploader listener.

  • Illustrator CS2

    HI all,  Please someone help.  When illustrator CS2 starts up there is an error message saying: Error loading Plugins. ADMEveParserCarbon.bundle.  It opens up okay but iam unable to set my document size or draw a rectangle or circle at a particular size... Iam also unable to save pdf files from illustrator?  anybody have any input on this, appreciate your response

    Right Click (control click: if you don't have a 2 button mouse) on the Adobe Illustrator CS2 Application and choose show package Contents. Then open the Required folder, and you will see the file that the error is complaining about. You can compare the size to my CS3 install. If you have another working install then replace this file.
    Also may be permissions related so run applications/utilities/Disk Utility and repair permissions.

  • Illustrator CS2 - Scripting Opportunities

    Created a process in Visual Studio 2003 (VB.NET, Framework (v1.1.4322),Windows XP SP2) a few years ago to call a few Actions within Illustrator 10 to prep files for our internal customers. This process runs great and performs as expected. When I try running the process now utilizing Illustrator CS2 (12.0.1), the Application.DoScript () & Application.ActionIsRunning causes the following exception(s):
    Errors : System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Unspecified error at System.RuntimeType.ForwardCallToInvokeMember(String memberName, BindingFlags flags, Object target, Int32[] aWrapperTypes, MessageData& msgData) at Illustrator.ApplicationClass.DoScript(String Action, String From, Object Dialogs) at GraphicFiles.clsProcessFiles.ProcessFiles() in clsProcessFiles.vb:line 278 - Code Section:2 - Running Action Scripts [Selected]
    OR
    Errors : System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Unspecified error at System.RuntimeType.ForwardCallToInvokeMember(String memberName, BindingFlags flags, Object target, Int32[] aWrapperTypes, MessageData& msgData) at Illustrator.ApplicationClass.get_ActionIsRunning() at GraphicFiles.clsProcessFiles.ProcessFiles() in clsProcessFiles.vb:line 291 - Code Section:2 - Running Action Scripts [Selected]
    Is there a problem with the ScriptingSupport.aip file in CS2? I can run my Actions manually from the Action window but I continue to get the errors listed above outside of Illustrator. I tried Pausing the code for 8-10 seconds before checking the ActionIsRunning property but I still get errors. I also tried changing the Play Back options on the Actions and received the same results. Has anyone experienced this problem and have a solutions/workaround for this opportunity? Should I upgrade to CS3?
    Thanks

  • Bug in Illustrator CS2-CS5.1 beim SVG Speichern

    Mittlerweile ist klar, das ist ein Fehler im Programm, getestet mit Illustrator CS2, CS4 und CS5.1 .
    Was muss man wo tun um ein Hotfix zu erhalten?
    Wohin muss ich mich da wenden und was kostet's ggf.?
    Eine Kollegin hat herausgefunden, dass Illustrator bei eingestellter Codierung UTF-8 nicht in UTF-8 exportiert, sondern in ANSI.
    Wenn UTF-8 drauf steht, aber ANSI drin ist, passt das natürlich nicht zusammen
    D.h. im XML Quelltext steht UTF-8 drin, aber es ist eigentlich ANSI, das führt dann zu Interpretationsfehlern.
    Witzigerweise kann AI sein gerade gespeichertes SVG noch nicht mal selbst öffnen.
    Beispiel:
    Öffnet das Pseudo-UTF SVG mal mit den normalen Windows Editor, anschließend geht ihr auf "Speichern unter", der Editor schlägt vor, in ANSI zu speichern, heißt die Datei ist eigentlich ANSI kodiert. Speichert man das SVG mit dem Editor dann nicht unter ANSI, sondern als UTF-8 ab, gibt es plötzlich keine Anzeigefehler mehr, weder im IE noch im Firefox.
    Habe mittlerweile die Möglichkeit gehabt es in CS5.1 zu versuchen, selber Fehler.
    Gibts dafür vielleicht schon ein Fix?
    Wir steigen nun von CorelDraw auf Illustrator um, zu Testzwecken habe ich im Mom zwar nur CS2 drauf, aber CS5.1 wird folgen.
    Es geht darum maussensitive SVG's zu erstellen, d.h. bei einigen Objekten werden Grafikattribute hinterlegt um das SVG hinterher interaktiv machen zu können.
    Problem:
    Das Grafikattribut ist als "Imagemap: Polygon" gesetzt und sieht in etwa so aus: "Þg;8314;S005Þ"
    Problem:
    Leider werden Objekte die mit diesem Attribut im SVG später nicht angezeigt(siehe "Link mit Zeichen"). Wenn ich das Thorn "Þ" weglasse, werden die SVG's richtig angezeigt (siehe "Link ohne Zeichen").
    Im IE8 werden Objekte im SVG mit diesem Thorn einfach weggelassen, der Rest wird angezeigt.
    Im Firefox wird das SVG gar nichtt angezeigt und er gibt einen XML-Verarbeitungsfehler in der entsprechenden Code Zeile aus.

    Confirmed this is being generated entirely in CS5. I opened the font Sabon. I created a text box. I pasted in some generic type I had just made in text edit. I changed the font to Sabon and the paragraph to justify. I saved and closed the document and closed Illustrator. I closed Sabon and opened Sabon from another foundry. I opened Illustrator and opened the document. All looked good. I duplicated the text box over and outlined the type. I went into the font manager and closed Sabon. I opened the original Sabon. DING! Type reflow. I saved as a second document. I copied the outlined type and closed the document. I opened the original document (note the original font is open). No problems. I paste the outlined type (type outlined with the wrong version of the font active) and it lands exactly in place. I open the second document. The type that reflowed now gives me the stupid message about another version of Illustrator screwing it up. I hit OK and the type reflows back to the way it is supposed to be.
    This proves that the kerning changes weren't due to differences between the fonts. This proves that Illustrator CS5 has a MAJOR type engine bug that could easily spell disaster in production.

  • Illustrator CS2 no contiene efecto Desenfoque Gaussiano

    Illustrator CS2 en castellano para Mac no reconoce archivos AI CS que contengan el efecto Desenfoque Gaussiano. Este plugin no aparece en "Acerca de los plugins" ni en la carpeta "extensiones".
    No puede aplicar este efecto ni desenfocar el efecto "Sombra paralela".
