Is it possible to copy formats and styles from one document to another?

Is it possible to copy formats and styles from one document to another?
Or use a commen styledocument as a masterdocument?

Only by creating a template with what you want.
Apple has removed the ability to import styles inPAges 5 along with almost 100 other features.

How do I copy an art object from one document to another using illustrator API(C )

Hi, I'm trying to copy text and graphic elements from one document into another, does anybody has an idea how to do it using Illustrator SDK(C++)?
Thanks in advance.

If you call AIArtSuite::ReorderArt() giving the layer group handle from the target document and using art from the source document, it will move art between documents. That said, there are all sorts of caveats that come along with that -- some things move over automatically (graphic styles, symbols) while others cause problems. E.g. copying art that contains a swatch can cause a crash when you shut down the source document because it may keep the style reference to the swatch in the source document -- which goes away when the document is closed. Gradients in particular are a problem I believe. Straight up colours are (I think) fine. I've had to write a lot of workarounds for various headaches caused by moving art between documents.
Bottom line: its very doable, but there are a lot of edge cases. This was clearly not an intended use of the SDK, though it is possible.

Copy single master page from one document to another?

The answer to a previously posted question seems to involve creating a document differently (than I had). A lot of work went into the creation of the master pages in the original document which I will now need to recreate in the new document. Is there a way I can copy one master page from one document to another?
Many thanks,
Theresa

There are a number of ways to do this.
Create a copy of the document you want to copy the Master page from. Delete all pages except for the one you want (but you have to leave Right and Left alone as FM must always have these two pages available).
Open the new document and the one that you want to import the master pages from.
In the new document:
Import from Document: (select the document with the Master Page that you want)
then
File > Import > Formats
and select Page Layouts only.
Note that Right/Left always come along for the ride.
Alternative and probably best way to get a single Master Page:
In new document, add a new Master Page and select "Empty".
In the old document, on the desired Master Page, Select All on page (ctrl+A) and then copy (ctrl+v).
In the new document on the new master page, paste (ctrl+v) to add the layout. Note: you may need to rotate the page first if it isn't in the same orientation as in the old document.

How to transfer/ copy data and setting from one iPhone to another

Hi,
I recently cracked the screen on my 3G iPhone and a have fortunately managed to convince the insurance company to pay for a new one.
I'd like to be able to transfer all my contacts, apps aand setting to the new phone. Only problem is I have to give back the old phone to get the new one.
Any advice much appreciated, and thanks in advance to anyone who spend time to help

The iPhone is designed to be synced with the supported applications on your computer for contact info, calendar events, and bookmarks. To transfer iTunes content and photos from your computer to your iPhone requires syncing with iTunes. Photos captured by your iPhone should be imported by your computer as with any other camera. The imported photos can be transferred back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
iTunes also creates and maintains a backup of your iPhone that includes data such as most iPhone settings, email account settings, SMS messages, notes, recent calls, call favorites, 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by 3rd party apps, contact info, and photos captured by your iPhone - but not a good idea to depend on the backup only for the last 2. Sync contact info with a supported application on your computer and import photos that were captured by your iPhone before giving up your iPhone. You can restore your new iPhone from your existing iPhone's backup followed by a sync.

OK to copy a placed image from one document to another?

Hi all,
I'm laying out two language versions of an illustrated book. Because they're going to be printed with the same CMY plates (with just the black plates being switched between the languages), the color images need to be in exactly the same places in both documents.
I've found that the easiest way to do this is to first place an image in one language version and then copy it from there to the other document using "Paste in place". I just wanted to make sure that this is OK with regard to the color settings etc.
I'm guessing that ID either uses the same import settings for the second doc as the first one, or uses the default settings. But both would be OK, because I want the default settings anyway, with no conversions.
-oldcomp

Have you considered using one document, with a layer for one language and a different layer for the other? But yes, you can copy between docs. Just make sure the image is available in the links manager.

Can I copy a Master Page from one document to another?

Hi - this might be a basic question, but I haven't figured out the answer yet. I have one .muse site with a Master Page that I used... I want to use that same Master Page on another .muse site that I'm working on. Is there a way I can copy the Master Page from the finished site into the other one that I'm working on?? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Blair

Hi Blair,
You should be able to do this by simply selecting (Ctrl+A) and copying (Ctrl+C) all content of the Master page of Site1 and Paste in Place (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V) in the Master page of Site2.
Thanks,
Vinayak

Copy styles from one document to another

Is there a way to copy styles?
Another question:
Can a saved document be opened and the layout changed. For instance, to from portrait to landscape or full page to booklet?

I knew it had to be something simple I was missing. I was able to do it in Quark, so InDesign should have a way. I can't believe I miss something so obvious (after you refreshed my mind where to look)

How to copy procedures and packages from one server to another?

Hi,
I have 439 packages and 178 procedures located in one server called MAXWELL.
I need to copy these objects to another server called TITAN.
The schema names is SPCBR in both servers.
So both servers have an instance running with this schema SPCBR.
SPCBR in TITAN server has their tables with table data which was generated by an export/import process from MAXWELL server.
However, procedures and packages were not copied by the export/import because I used the clause 'tables'.
Now, what can I do in order to equalize procedures and packages in both databases? I can't risk in damaging or duplicating data in my database located in TITAN server, ok?
Thanks,

Another simple alternative, according to AskTom (http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:::::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID:454220160386)
---------------- getcode.sql ----------------------------

it extracts one procedure, function or package to a file. Thats it. If you
wanted to get all of the procedures in a schema extracted to the current working
directory, you would run a script:
--------------- getallcode ---------------------------
set termout off
set heading off
set feedback off
set linesize 50
spool xtmpx.sql
select '@getcode ' || object_name
from user_objects
where object_type in ( 'PROCEDURE', 'FUNCTION', 'PACKAGE' )
spool off
spool getallcode_INSTALL.sql
select '@' || object_name
from user_objects
where object_type in ( 'PROCEDURE', 'FUNCTION', 'PACKAGE' )
spool off
set heading on
set feedback on
set linesize 130
set termout on
@xtmpx.sql
---------------- eof ---------------------------------
You can see how to filter on that one by adding to the where clause if you want.
Just run @getallcode_INSTALL to run all of the scripts...

Swatch palette becomes full of unused colors when copy and paste from one document to another!!

sometimes (i haven't found a pattern yet of when) when i copy and paste an object that is solid black (for example) into another Illustrator document, a bunch of unused swatches copy into the swatch palette for no reason! lots of "default global colors" and PMS swatches. i then have to 'select all unused' and delete them all to clean out the palette (which always seems to stall while thinking when selecting or deleting them). often times i get the global swatch warning (always 2x, not just once) before placing an object and before the whole swatch palette fills up with unused colors.
this has only happened recently in the last few months and i have been using Illustrator for years so i'm not sure what's stemming this. a new update? has anyone else noticed this problem and know a solution? is there a preference checked somewhere that i don't know about?
guess i should mention i'm on CS3 Illustrator running MAC OS 10.5.6
thanks,
kim

I've had this problem before as well and it has to do with a currupt file that your coppying from. It's too complicated to explain here so here is my fix for it.
I take the file and save it down or up in CS1. Open infected file in CS1. Create a new file in CS1 the same size as the one you've opened. Select all and drag and drop into the new empty file. Don't copy paste, it must be dragged into the file. You can then delete all global colours and save your file. The curruption will be gone. There's a way to check suspect files to see if they have the deleted global colours present. Open your suspect file in a text editor like simple text, scroll down a little way and if you see a bunch of lines of code mentioning "deleted global colours" then you know it's infected and has to be fixed.
Hope this helps
Here is another idea from a bit of research I just did. Don't know if this works or not but you might want to give it a try and it explains the issue in more detail

Help with copying permissions and roles from one user to another. Issue with RoleDefinitions

I need help please.
I’m trying to copy a role definition/name in SharePoint 2010 Powershell.
The below is only a piece of my script, but I have to find '$SearchUser" and wherever it lives (webs, lists, groups), I need to add "$account" and copy permissions
from '$SearchUser" . We are doing this to limit certain users from access our farm (by adding a new AD domain that does not contain these users, then deleting the old domain).
Every time I run it, it seems to mess up on this line:
$role = $web.RoleDefinitions.[$newRoleDef].
It is acting like the $newRoleDef is null, but it is not.
When I outputfile the $newRoleDef, it has values, such as Read, Contribute.
foreach($Web in $Site.AllWebs)
if($Web.HasUniqueRoleAssignments -eq $True)
foreach($WebRoleAssignment in $Web.RoleAssignments )
if($WebRoleAssignment.Member.userlogin)
if($WebRoleAssignment.Member.LoginName -eq $SearchUser)
$WebUserPermissions=@()
foreach ($RoleDefinition in $WebRoleAssignment.RoleDefinitionBindings)
$newRoleDef = $RoleDefinition.Name
$assignment = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPRoleAssignment($account)
$role = $web.RoleDefinitions.[$newRoleDef]
$assignment.RoleDefinitionBindings.Add($role)
$_.RoleAssignments.Add($assignment)

How do I copy the style from one control to another?

I need to programmatically copy the style from one graph to another. I'm currently using the importstyle and export style functions but I'd like to avoid that since: 1) I'm creating >100 of the same graphs in a scrolling window and execution time is a concern, and 2) it makes it harder to redistribute the application, and 3) you shouldn't have to import/export from disk just to copy a graph style.
I noticed the copy constructor was disabled so you can't just create a new one from the original. I suppose I could iterate through all the styles and transfer them from the master graph to all the copies but is there an easier way to do that? If not, is there some sample code for that?
I'm using MStudio 7.0 for C
++.
Thanks,
-Bob

One way that you could do this would be to create a helper method that configures your graph rather than configuring it at design-time, then use that helper method to apply the settings to the new graphs that you create. However, this would only work if you wanted all graphs to be configured exactly the same way - this would not work if the settings of your master graph are changing at run-time and you want the new graphs to be configured with the current settings of the master graph.
Another approach is to query each control for IPersistPropertyBag, create an IPropertyBag, pass the IPropertyBag to the master graph's IPersistPropertyBag:ave, then pass the IPropertyBag to the new graph's IPersistPropertyBag::Load implementation. I'm not aware of any implementations of IPropertyBag that are readily available for use in applications, so the tricky part is creating the IPropertyBag. Below is a very simple implementation of IPropertyBag that should be enough to get the job done for this example. First, add this to your stdafx.h:
#include <atlbase.h>
CComModule _Module;
#include <atlcom.h>
#include <atlcoll.h>
Here's the simple IPropertyBag implementation:
class ATL_NO_VTABLE CSimplePropertyBag :
public CComObjectRootEx<CComSingleThreadModel>,
public IPropertyBag
private:
CAtlMap<CComBSTR, CComVariant> m_propertyMap;
public:
BEGIN_COM_MAP(CSimplePropertyBag)
COM_INTERFACE_ENTRY(IPropertyBag)
END_COM_MAP()
STDMETHODIMP Read(LPCOLESTR pszPropName, VARIANT* pVar, IErrorLog* pErrorLog)
HRESULT hr = E_FAIL;
if ((pszPropName == NULL) || (pVar == NULL))
hr = E_POINTER;
else
if (SUCCEEDED(::VariantClear(pVar)))
CComBSTR key = pszPropName;
CComVariant value;
if (!m_propertyMap.Lookup(key, value))
hr = E_INVALIDARG;
else
if (SUCCEEDED(::VariantCopy(pVar, &value)))
hr = S_OK;
return hr;
STDMETHODIMP Write(LPCOLESTR pszPropName, VARIANT* pVar)
HRESULT hr = E_FAIL;
if ((pszPropName == NULL) || (pVar == NULL))
hr = E_POINTER;
else
m_propertyMap.SetAt(pszPropName, *pVar);
hr = S_OK;
return hr;
Once you have a way to create an implementation of IPropertyBag, you can use IPropertyBag and IPersistPropertyBag to copy the settings from one control to another like this:
void CopyGraphStyle(CNiGraph& source, CNiGraph& target)
LPUNKNOWN pSourceUnknown = source.GetControlUnknown();
LPUNKNOWN pTargetUnknown = target.GetControlUnknown();
if ((pSourceUnknown != NULL) && (pTargetUnknown != NULL))
CComQIPtr<IPersistPropertyBag> pSourcePersist(pSourceUnknown);
CComQIPtr<IPersistPropertyBag> pTargetPersist(pTargetUnknown);
if ((pSourcePersist != NULL) && (pTargetPersist != NULL))
CComObject<CSimplePropertyBag>* pPropertyBag = 0;
CComObject<CSimplePropertyBag>::CreateInstance(&pPropertyBag);
if (pPropertyBag != NULL)
CComQIPtr<IPropertyBag> spPropertyBag(pPropertyBag);
if (spPropertyBag != NULL)
if (SUCCEEDED(pSourcePersist->Save(spPropertyBag, FALSE, TRUE)))
pTargetPersist->Load(spPropertyBag, NULL);
(Note that "CreateInstan ce" above should be CreateInstance - a space gets added for some unknown reason after I click Submit.)
Then you can use this CopyGraphStyle method to copy the settings of the master graph to the new graph. Hope this helps.

Move (or copy or cut and paste) entire sheet from one document to another.

I have several sheets I want to move from one document to another and retain all formatting and spacing, etc.
What is the best way to do this?
Thanks

On the left of the screen is the list of sheets and tables and charts. Select the sheet. Copy. Paste into the same area (i.e., in the area where the sheets are listed) of the new document.

I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?

Hello everybody,
I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Yan

Hello Chris,
Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
Thanks for answering so fast.
Bye.

(v 5.5) I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another.

I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another in Illustrator (5.5). This started happening a few days ago. Restarting Illustrator and also my computer (Mac) didn't help. Any ideas?

To clarify: If I select an object in layer 1 using command/c or command/x then select layer 2 and press command/v the object gets pasted back into layer 1 instead of layer 2. I've tried everything I can think of and can't correct the problem.
Now the only way I can get an object from one layer to another is to drag it into another layer in the layers window.

Can one 'copy' Shadow\Stroke settings from one graphic to another?

I'm always juggling hundreds of stills. I'd love to be able to just copy the Shadow settings from one still to another. Or to be able to 'lock' the setting so that they are all they same when applied to a set of stills.
Is something possible here?
Ben

Yes:
- select your shape you want to use as a "style model"
- <pre>Format > Copy Graphic Style</pre>
- select all the shapes you want to apply the same graphical style to
- <pre>Format > Paste Graphic Style</pre>
You can also adopt it as a default graphical style forever:
- select your shape you want to use as a "style model"
- <pre>Format > Advanced > Define Default Shape Style</pre>
