Illustrator CS6 - Export Slices to SWF or SVG - not possible anymore?!?

Hi all,
I just learned that it's not possible anymore to export slices to swf or svg via the save for web dialog:
http://blogs.adobe.com/ivandavid/illustrator_cs6_save_for_web/
Apart from the fact that I believe that this is a pretty strange decision to remove an existing feature…
Does anyone know a workaround for that (apart from installing cs5.5...)?
I need to somehow be able to export my slices to swf.
As far as I know, the only option to export slices is via the save for web dialog, but this dialog only offers pixel graphic formats, so now way to use fireworks or what ever to convert them to vector swfs…
What a bummer…
Thanks!

Semi-ignore my previous answer - figured out another work around that involves converting your slices to artboards.
After you have made all of your slices, use the Slice Selection Tool to select your first slice. Go to Object > Artboards > Convert to Artboards. This should create a new artboard out of that slice. Do this for all of your slices.
After creating new artboards from your slices, go to File > Export... and select Flash (swf) from the dropdown menu. Make sure you check the "Use Artboards" option underneath the format menu.
This process should result in individual swf files of each of your slices, along with your original image. Hope this helps!

Illustrator CS6 exports to PNG with unwanted transparencies.

Illustrator CS6 exports to PNG with unwanted transparencies. I've done everything I can think of but some of the shapes in my Ai file with 100% opacity are still showing the layer under them in the PNG export file. What can the issue be?

This is how the Ai file looks and it should export and look the same.
Here is the PNG export. The yellow layers are at 100% opacity but the bottom layer is showing through and changing the color for some reason. Saving as a pdf works fine but I need a PNG.

Illustrator CS6 - Export jpg without adding artboard to name

Is there a way in Illustrator CS6 to export as jpg with Use Artboard check to not have illustrator add the name of the artboard to your file name?
Example -
File name "redboat.ai"
Export jpg "redboat.jpg" with Use Artboard option selected
File name becomes "redboat-01.jpg"
This is not a huge problem when I only have 1 or two files but when I have to rename 100+ file names it can be a pain.
I do understand that I can batch rename in Bridge but it would be nice if I could have these files saved without the artboard name on them.
Any help appreciated.

Export to .jog with use artbaords, needs to add to the name, so shen you export imaegs with multiple artbaords you do not have reapeated names.
You can do a save for web, and turn on clip to artboard and you will get the filename you need. Record an action to save the file to your desktop, and you will save even more time running this as a batch command on a folder of images.

Illustrator CS6 won't run. Entry Point Not Found

Cannot get Illustrator CS6 to run. All othe CS6 components are running fine.
Every time I try to start Illustrator I get error message:
The procedure entry point
?AcquireVarient@ImageInterface@drawbot@dvaui@@QEBA?BV?intrusive_ptr@UImageInterface@drawbo t@dvaui@@@boost@@V?rational@J@5@@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library dvaui.dll.
This is on a Window 7 Pro PC. CS5 previously ran fine, but computer was rebuilt after a harddrive crash then loaded with CS6 and this problem began. CS6 installation on laptop works fine, so downloaded files are OK.
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall twice, but always the same result.

Windows said I had the latest drivers, but ATI (AMD) website had auto-scan software that loaded a newer version. (Was ver 8.x is now 9.0) However, there was no change. I have a Tech Support case with Adobe being escalated now.
Since it was working before, I am worndering about using older drivers. This PC has a V7800 workstation graphics card, so there are special CAD-certified drivers available. Maybe I need to rollback to one of those versions instead of the latest and greatest.
I also found that the dvaui.dll file in the Illustrator directory is a different size on the laptop compared to the workstation. I could move the file, but touching dll's is scary stuff.

Exporting/Sharing Custom XMP metadata schema not possible?

I've written a Python script which automatically encodes Quicktime files which I've mastered out of Premiere Pro CC with embedded custom XMP metadata (created using "New Schema" in the Metadata Display panel). I'm using the embedded custom metadata to drive the Python script (e.g. "Spot Title", "Client Name", fields etc etc), which encodes the source QT file to several different formats, based on the delivery specifications of various local TV broadcasters which the encoded files will go to.
Everything about the XMP metadata entry/writing/parsing is fantastic. My only hitch is in the exporting/sharing of the custom metadata schema which I created for this purpose. I would like to roll the schema out to the other editors in our facility, so that they can also enter the XMP metadata on their own systems when they export out master timelines from Premiere.
But unless I'm missing something, I can't figure out a way to "share" or export my custom schema for use on another system. Is this not possible in Premiere Pro CC?

There's no feature for exporting and importing custom schemas, but it's entirely doable. Here are the path to the custom schemas
MAC: Macintosh HD ▸ Users ▸ <username> ▸ Library ▸ Application Support ▸ Adobe ▸ XMP ▸ Custom File Info Panels ▸ 4.0 ▸ custom
WIN: C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\custom file info panels\4.0\panels [I can't vouch for this path as I'm on Mac at the moment and it's been ages since I poked around for custom schemas, but this should at least be the right neighborhood.]
You might also be interested in sharing your custom metadata display profiles. They in Documents ▸ Adobe ▸ Premiere Pro ▸ 8.0 ▸ Profile-mapes ▸ Metadata Preferences.

Illustrator CS6 Exporting ai layers to Photoshop layers

I have some artowrk that I need to convert from .ai layered file to a Photoshop layered Psd file. I tried a few differnt ways unsuccessfully, any help?
R

Let me explain a bit more, the ai document is a map with a layer of pins and a layer of pins with a rectangle area which has text.
My plan was to convert to Photoshop so each would be on a layer.
when I click on each area I get a bounding box around the area and I'm ablre to move it so I know its on its own layer.
What do you mean about a no fill / area?
I troed to export the layers one a t a time as well but I only get the layer and white background on one layer

After export movies works and then is not working anymore?!

Hi guys,
i am capturing HD movies to my final cut express HD..Edit them, expert as quick time movie (option self contain is OFF). Then i test the movies and they are like they should be. Then i import them into IDVD and IDVD accept some and some not. So when i check the not accepted movies they only play the sound. While 10 minutes before the movie was working correct.
After a few times (making the same movies again and again on the same maner) IDVD accepted alle the movies. But when i wanted to burn the dvd it gives me a error about a missing movie file, again and again?
It worked all okay when i made my other dvds.
The only thing changed at this system is that i upgraded to Ilife'11
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Ps. my movies are HD (1080i)

Could it be that the link is broken after i change the movie from folder to a >other folder ?
The FCE Project File or the export?
Sequence>Render Only>Mixdown.
This action makes one temp file out of all your audio. It makes a difference to exported files playing correctly in the audio department.

Animation in Indesign CS6 export as a HTML for widget in iBA?

Hi together,
For me it`s the first question. I would like to animate pictures in iBooks Author. So I know about the tool hype. But I would like to use Indesign CS6 to create Animation files. I create a simple animation in CS6, export as a swf-file. Now I receive example.swf and example.html. Create a new folder with Default.png, Info.plist and example.html. The .swf file is in a folder named SWF. Next I create the folder a .wdgt. Import in iBooks I read the main html-file is missing.
Is my way possible: CS6 animation as a widget in iBooks Author? Or is it better to use other tools in the world of Apple like hype for example?
Thanke and best regards
Boris

I'm quoting another post by Gadgetgurl42 here on a similar question...
"iOS doesn't support swf as this is the exported verison of a Flash file. Putting the swf file into a widget won't change that fact.
As sb0117 mentions, your best bet is to look at HTML5 animation."
I wouldn't use Hype to create your assets as it's really quite limited in that respect, but create the assets in Photoshop and import into HYPE to create animation.
I'd also do a couple of test files to check how the resulting animations look, full-screen on the iPad.
Alternatively, if you're more familiar with Pages, etc, you could use Keynote as the learning curve might be easier.

To open "Adobe Illustrator CS6," you need a Java SE 6 runtime

I get message when I try to launch a newlt installed version of Illustrator CS6 under mountain lion. Java is not on that machine but do I def have to install it or is there a way around this? Thanks

In case this may be useful for anyone running OSX Mavericks (10.9.3) and encountering the "...need Java se6 runtime..." to launch Illustrator CS6 message, I found the below link on an Apple support page tonight:
Java for OS X 2013-005
I had already de-installed and re-installed Illustrator CS6, thinking this might solve the problem, but I was still getting the "...need java se6 runtime" message.
I assumed because the above link appeared to be for OSX Lion or Mountain Lion, that it wouldn't do me any good since I am running a newer OS (Mavericks). However, after downloading the "Java for OS X 2013-005" that's found via the above link I was able to launch Illustrator CS6.
I've been running OSX Mavericks for a few months and using Illustrator CS6 every day, and had never encountered the "...need Java se6 runtime..." message. What was different for me was, in the last 24 hours, I had the Apple Store re-install OSX Mavericks on my iMac to try to diagnose another issue. The "...need java se6 runtime..." message only started popping up since yesterday's re-install of OSX Mavericks.
I think I recall reading tonight that re-installing OSX Mavericks may wipe out previously-installed versions of Java, or at least this "Java se6 runtime" - whatever that actually is.

Hi. I'm using illustrator cs6 on pc. I've made a scientific figure for a paper and now I'm trying to export as a png or save for microsoft office. Despite my figure being in the middle of my artboard, it always comes out bottom left in the png file or jpg

Hi. I'm using illustrator cs6 on pc. I've made a scientific figure for a paper and now I'm trying to export as a png or save for microsoft office. Despite my figure being in the middle of my artboard, it always comes out bottom left in the png file or jpg. Must be making a school boy error! Please help!

In similar cases, my solution is to "select all" then "deselect" only the artwork I want to keep and "delete". If I'm curious I may "cut" then "paste" to see what shows up in the center of the screen. it is usually some stray point. or other element out direct sight.

Why does the image go blurry when I export my file to jpeg from Illustrator CS6?

Hi,
I have created an image on illusrator CS6 and am ready to save it.
I have saved it as a pdf format and the image stays as a sharp vector image and not blurry at all.
But I also want to keep the image as a jpeg. So when I go to export the image from illustrator CS6 as a jpeg, the end result comes out blurry and not sharp anymore, but more jagged on the edges of the image.
Is there anything I can do to keep my file as a jpeg with it staying as a sharp crisp image?

The image above is a screenshot of the ai.file
Above - second image is the screenshot of my export settings
the 3rd image above is a close up zoomed in part of the image - the edges are jagged and blurry

Illustrator CS6 DWG export also creates PNG/JPG Rasters?

Why does Illustrator CS6 create a bunch of raster images (PNG or JPG) files when I export to DWG? There's no way to turn it off, is there? This is stupid.

Also, they changed the way DWGs are exported, from CS5, again. It was working fine before, now not only does it add an array of raster images, it's buggy as hell. I get some lines but not others. I don't see any rhyme or reason to it, yet. This is really frustrating. My art is not complex at all.

Exporting layout as Photoshop from Illustrator CS6 but some of the layers keep mergering

I have created a layout in Illustrator (CS6) and seperated the individual images I require into named layers. My intention is to export as a Photoshop file (keeping all the layers), then using 'Script' in Photoshop to 'Export layers to files..', so I can get automatically save all the elements in the layout as individual transparent png.
When I export the files as Photoshop a warning comings up saying that 'some layer have been merged' and then when I open this file in Photoshop, all but a couple of text layers have been merged into 1 layer. I think it's something to do with the transparencies set in Illustrator but don't know how to resove this.
If it can't be resolve in the method I am using at present, my only other option is to switch off all but 1 layer in Illustrator and export this layer as a png, but as I have many elements to the layout (including on and off states) and this is just one layout page of many, this manual way of export the files will take me forever!
If nobody know I way I can stop these layers from merger into one layer when exported to Photoshop, then maybe someone can suggest a way I can automatic export the layers I have set up in Illustrator, as transparent pngs in a simular way I can in Photoshop.
Any help anyone can give me would be MUCH appreciated, as I am on a short deadline for this project!
Julie

Layers are often merge becuase you've used transparency, blend modes, or other complex appearance settings in Illustrator. To ensure all layers export individually you should avoid the use of ANY and ALL transparency in AI and always export to the same color mode as your docuemnt.

Exporting differences in Illustrator CS6

I have png files that were exported from an earlier version of Illustrator, possibly CS1 or CS2, that were used for a company website. I have now tried exporting new png files from the same original source files within Adobe Illustrator CS6 and I have noticed that the exports have now taken on a different appearance. They are noticeably brighter and thus appear to be washed out. I would say that the problem is most noticeable on those parts of the source file which consist of gradients.
What I have done so far is to try using different colour profiles but to no avail. The problem that this causes me is that the new exports do not appear to blend in on the website, and what was once a perfectly curved area is now square in appearance.
I have spent many works working on this problem. Any kind of feedback on this issue would be appreciated.

The disparity of colour only seems to be a problem in browsers Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 8, possibly other older versions. I have tried the exports from Illustrator CS6 and they appear as intended in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and even Safari on the iPhone.
Curiously enough, I have tried exports from Illustrator CS1 and have discovered no issues at all. The exports look fine on every platform I have tried. Someone somewhere must know the reason for the perceived differences, not that the information is readily available. It is not just an issue restricted to png files, it also occurs with gif files also.
May be there is some update which I can apply that will allow the exports to be generated as previously.
