Illustrator variables xml converter

I had a nightmare at one time trying to convert a excel file to a .xml compatible with the variables palette. So we we designed a little program converting a .csv file to .xml based on the template provided by Illustrator. If we get enough requests, we will compile it for different platforms and make it available. Please reply if you will be interested.

I'm looking all over the place for a solution where I can convert an Excel CSV file to an Illustrator variables compatible XML ..
This tool looks perfect ! Can you make it available ?

  • Intégration variable XML

    Bonjour à tous,
    Je vais tenter d'expliquer clairement mon problème :
    J'ai une animation/diaporama flash, reliée à un fichier xml.
    J'utilise SPIP pour ce site, et les photos font parti des documents joints à chaque article (album photos)
    Voici la portion de code intégrée dans Flash (Téléchargeable ici) :
    ar xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showXML);
    -> LA VARIABLE DE L'ARTICLE CONCERNE PAR CE FICHIER XML :
    var id_article="id_article=11";
    -> LE LIEN QUE VA UTILISER FLASH POUR TROUVER LE BON FICHIER XML :
    xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("spip.php?page=xml_article&" + id_article));
    A la place de "var id_article="id_article=11";", je voudrais appliquer une variable qui génerera le lien concerné :
    id_article=#ID-ARTICLE dans le code ci-dessous.
    Voici le code dans la page Web :
    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="895" height="650" id="menu" align="middle">

    From documentation :
    Note: For variables of type XML, the value returned is of type byte[].
    In order to print or display the returned value, you must convert it
    to a String value. For example, the following code converts the
    variable value of type byte[] to a String value:
    String value=new String((byte[])variable.getValue())
    http://e-docs.bea.com/wlintegration/v2_0/processintegrator/dev/rtvars.html
    BUT..............
    My feeling is that it is org.w3c.dom.Node type.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi,
    I have a question about variable(XML type) in WLPI Studio. First I set this workflow
    variable during the workflow. And I let this variable(XML type) as a parameter
    when I call a business operation in a task.
    For the method in our application(defined to this business operation), no matter
    the datatype of the parameter is "Sting" or "org.w3c.dom.Document", the variable(XML
    type) always cannot be cast to required type(String or Document).
    So I am just wondering, how should I define the parameter in our own application?
    What kind of datatype can match with variable(XML type) in WLPI Studio?
    Thank you very much.

  • Filemaker database into illustrator via XML possible?

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm new here and also new to XML, i have been trying to look into ways of getting a filemaker information automatically into illustrator through XML. I've searched all over the net for any information on this, but found nothing. I was wondering if you guys knew anything about it or maybe where to start/look.
    The problem is filemaker saves the xml file in way that illustrator doesn't understand and i don't know how to convert the file for illustrator to accept it.
    Thanks.

    We moved the repository to Oracle RAC recently. The syntax to switch to the new databasecluster was something like this:
    lh setRepo -tOracle -ujdbc:oracle:thin:@//dbcluster1.domain:1521/service_idm.oradb.domain -Uwaveset -Pwachtwoord
    For the 'lh setRepo' command the old database had to be up, and we had to use the old ojdb5.jar. After that we switched to ojdb6.jar.
    One of our resources is a database table with HR data in the same database. The following Database Access Parameters work for us:
    Database Type:      Oracle
    JDBC Driver:      oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
    JDBC URL Template:      jdbc:oracle:thin:@//%h:%p/%d
    Host :     dbcluster1.domain
    Database: service_idm.oradb.domain
    Port: 1521

  • HTML to XML converter

    please who knows where one can download a java HTML-to-XML converter class where all that is needed is to supply any http link and it will output XML to the outputstream or whatever
    thanks

    You must realize that there is no possible way all valid HTML can be made into valid (well-formed) XML - right?
    html can have over lapping tags (not real tags here, but you'll see):
    <tag1>
    <tag2>
    <tag1>
    <tag2>
    That's valid html, but totally invalid xml (xml doesn't let you overlap tags).
    If you're using XHTML, then your html is already xml.
    If you're going from XML to HTML, then you can use XSTL; but it won't work in the other direction.

  • "Open XML Converter" opening when I click "Open in finder" in stacks

    Today, suddenly, "Open XML Converter" opens when I click "Open in finder" in stacks or select a folder in Spotlight.
    This happens in only one account (mine; I have quarantined admin and guest accounts).
    I have repaired permissions a number of times, re-booted, used Time Machine to restore the Preferences folder from before it started up, deleted and re-installed the program and nothing changes it.
    This is highly annoying and I don't know what to do, except delete Open XML Converter, which I'd rather not do.
    Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

  • Bridge opening office files with xml converter

    Adobe Bridge CS3 is opening all my excel files with xml converter and promting me to save as.  How do I switch it to default to Microsoft Excel when opening these files?

    These options are handled in the Bridge prefs under File Associations, but if I remember correctly this is somewhat limited in CS3 since it only handles Adobe files that install their associations. Any other file type is handled by whatever the opoerating system offers. Well, you can always look and give it a try...

  • Commandline: Opening a directory opens Microsoft "Open XML Converter"

    Hello everyone,
    I am trying to open a directory from the commandline, like this:
    user1@HOSTA:~ $ open '/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Applications/'
    I expected the directory to open in the Finder, but instead a program called Microsoft "Open XML Converter" starts up instead. 'Finder' never opens. It seems like the default "type" was munged when "Open XML Converter" was installed.
    I have searched around the internet and in these forums, but I cannot find any answers. I appreciate any help on how to fix this.

  • Open XML converter not coverting docx to doc

    I am trying to open docx in word 2004 for mac. On my old iBook I had the microsoft Open XML converter which worked fine. I just download it on my newly acquired macbook and it only converts docxs to rfts. How do I get it to convert docxs to docs?

    Check the MS website; I believe they offer a free docx converter now. TextEdit will open docx documents, but often without the formatting. OpenOffice probably opens them, as well.
    I use docxConverter, a free utility available from many places online.

  • Variable xml file and Cyrillic

    Hello,
    Due to the workflow of our design studio I have been working on a series of scripts that use php to write artwork information from a database into xml files to be loaded into illustrator.
    after first getting an issue where any image replacements from the xml linked file wouldn't work in cs5. which has just been avoided by using cs4.
    the main issue is that the cyrillic text is not being loaded into illustrstor when i load the variable data set, there is just a blank space where the cyrillic should be.
    Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

  • XML namespace in xml converted pdf

    Hello everyone
    I have a problem when converting pdf's in xml. Everytime when I convert a PDF(either with Acrobat or with mailing the file as XML) in XML the date fields always in middle shows the xml namespace xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" . We are using these xml's to transfer data to an accounting software but the software recognizes the xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" as an error and because of that the data couldn't be uploaded. We created the PDF using a xsd scheme made in the accounting software. Is there a way to get rid of xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" showing in the date fields.
    I appreciate every possible help

    Hi,
    It sounds like you have the nillable="true" attribute in you XSD for the date field.
    If you XSD looks like;
    <xs:element name="Date1" type="xs:date" nillable="true"/>
    Then you will get the following when the field Date1 is bound to is left blank.
    <Date1 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:nil="true"/>
    This is the correct behaviour, so I am either not understanding the problem or there is a bug in the accounting software you are using.
    Maybe you could try replacing the nullable="true" with a minOccurs="0".  This will mean the element will not appear in the XML at all.
    Regards
    Bruce

  • Transparency problems in Adobe illustrator AI when converting to PDF

    I just recently started working on an iMac, and am enjoying it very much!!!
    Here's the problem; I often work in AI and then convert my doc to PDF for print. the pdf appears to be fine when seen on my screen, but when printed, many objects that should be trasparent, print with a white square around it. for example a photo shop PSD that has a transparent background. this happens even if my psd layers were flattened. even more maddening, this problem also occurs with vector objects containing transparencies, ,(such as eps or other ai files that were embedded in my AI file), with attributes like  lower opacity, screen, darken or multiply, or feather.
    again the exported PDF looks FINE on screen ,even PRINTS fine on my office printer, but when SENT TO THE PRINTER,, it prints really ugly, with squares
    around objects and wrong colors. sometimes I can detec these  problems by e mailing the file through google, but not always.
    I did not have this problem on my old PC, this started on the Mac.
    the only solution I can currently think of is to export as JPEG. that is not very good for text and most  printers prefer PDF
    I am currently using Adobe CS5.
