Loading Color exchange files (.ase) into illustrator

In Applescript:
I want to load a swatch library exported from InDesign as .ase file and want to load it in Illustrator CS3, because I want to use the same swatch definitions in both applications.
I found that the documentation states that you can open such a file as a swatch library file by setting the open options as to as->swatch library. I tried many combinations but I can't get it working.
Has anybody tried and succeeded to make it work. Thanks for your help.

Loading of flat file (csv) into PSA – no data loaded

Hi BW-gurus,
We have an issue regarding loading a flat file (csv) into PSA using an infopackage u2013 (BI 7.0)
The infopackage has been used for a while. Prior the consultants with SAP_ALL-profile have run the infopackage. Now we want a few super users to run the infopackage.
We have created a role for the super users, including authorization objects:
Data Warehousing objects: S_RS_ADMWB
Activity: 03, 16, 23, 63, 66
Data Warehousing Workbench obj: INFOAREA, INFOOBJECT, INFOPACKAG, MONITOR, SOURCESYS, WORKBENCH
Data Warehousing Workbench u2013 datasource (version > BW 3.x): S_RS_DS
Activity: All
Datasource: All
Subobject for New DataSource: All
Sourcesystem: FILE
Data Warehousing Workbench u2013 infosource (flex update): S_RS_ISOUR
Activity: Display, Maintain, Request
Application Component: All
InfoSource: All
InfoSource Subobject: All values
As mentioned, the infopackage in question, has been used by consultants with SAP_ALL-profile for some time, and been working just fine. When the super users with the new role are executing the infopackage, the records are found, but not loaded into PSA. The load seems to be stuck, but no error message occurs. The file we are trying to load contains only 15 records.
Details monitor:
Overall status: Missing messages or warnings (yellow)

Have we forgotten something? Any assistance will be highly appreciated!

Hi,
Try to use the transaction ST01 to trace the authorization of the upload with the SAP_ALL.
And the enhance your Profile for the super user.

How to load a text file (ASCII) into a TS string variable?

I need to load a ASCII file into a TS string variable for subsequent processing. I tried the SecuenceBuilder DLL (in the examples directory) but it seems that this DLL has a bug. Some text files are not loaded properly. I have also tried the kernel32 functions (openfile, createfile, readfile ... ) handling them as a C program, but with no success. The property loader feature of TS is not the suitable solution for me, because I would have to modify all my text files to include some specific fields (step name, variables, starmarker ...). Doy you know an alternative procedure to load text files or any DLL that implements what I look for ? Any help would be grateful. Cesar ([email protected])

Hi Cesar,
I don't know if you have found a solution, but attached is a DLL built in VC that will read the text out of a file into a TestStand variable. The attached sequence file \SequenceFile1.seq contains a step type that is set to call the DLL responsible for reading the file. It reads the file specified under Step.FilePath and stores the data in Step.ReadData. Please let me know if this works for you. I have attached the source as well.

Bob

Why i can't copy massege from excel file paste into illustrator cc?

it have error box. when i copy many row sentences frow excel files(opensource progremme) and paste into illustrator CC
i don't know why cause other version can do it

Ok, it's quite absurd that there's no other workaround for now. I always used Adobe for webdesign, but I think it's time now to go and use some different applications, like Sketch and Macaw. I'm really curious about the last one.
Thanks anyway for the help:)

DWG files opened into Illustrator

Hello all,
I did a file open of a .dwg file into Illustrator. It was a simple drawing of a flat view of a furnished room. I wanted to select the rounded rectangle that represented the *pillow* on the *bed* and fill it with a gradient, or maybe a pattern fill. I couldn't. The rounded rectangle was not a rounded rectangle. It was a series of open paths: 4 straight segments for the sides, and 4 curved open paths for the rounded corners.
Now, I rarely work on AutoCad generated files. I found that I resorted to using the Join command 8 times to turn the 8 open paths into 1 joined closed path.
I thought to use the LivePaint feature, but it was grayed-out.
I assume there must be a better way to open the .dwg file into Illy and have it render shapes better than this! Or is it a limitation of .dwg being translated to .ai?
What should I know that I don't?
Many thanks,
Mike Witherell in Maryland

Oh goodness. I see this thread, now:

I can not load up my files on newer illustrator version. Please help me

I recently saved my illustrator work files on an external hard drive due to me needing repair on my computer at the Apple store. I got it back with everything erased. So I had to redownload the illustrator from adobe but apparently its a different version from one i had before. Now that I have it back im trying to load my files but its telling me I have the wrong software. Please help

What exactly is the warning in the dialog box?
Did you save directly to the external drive or did you copy the files there?
Did the files work directly after you copied them to the external drive? Did you test that with your old version?
Do you know you can return to a previous version?

Loading a .band file back into Garageband (iPad 2)

Hi all. I am a newbie. Forgive me if this question is ridiculous, and forgive me if it's been asked 1000 times. Basically, I'm trying to collaborate with some old school buddies through Garageband. I only have it on Ipad 2, they have it on their macs. I do not have a mac (terrible, I know). We're all working from a Dropbox account. I put a file of a guitar track into said Dropbox. They've already done work on the file and dropped it back into the box. Now, I'm able to get the new .band folder back into itunes through my pac, via ifunbox. However, when I pull up Garageband on the Ipad 2 and click the + sign and select itunes, it doesn't show up. If I select a song I have on my Garageband, I can see the folder through Apple Loops, but it isn't accessible. I can just see the title, and it's in grey, not in bold black. So, is it not possible to get this back onto the iPad 2 by pc through iTunes? Will it ever be? Better yet, if I had a mac, would this be doable? I realize this is worded terribly, but any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I've just tested this workaround again. It should work like this:
Export
Create a song in GarageBand on an iOS device.
From the My Songs screen tap Edit, select the song to export, tap the sharing icon, Share Song Via iTunes as GarageBand format.
Connect the device to iTunes, go to the Apps tab, File Sharing area, highlight the song folder and click Save As..., then chose a folder to save it in.
This folder can then be shared for others to work on.
Import
Connect device to iFunBox.
Drag project folder into <Device>\App File Sharing\GarageBand.
On the device go to the GarageBand > My Songs view, tap the + icon, then Copy From iTunes. The imported project should be there.
If GarageBand for iOS doesn't see or want to import the edited project then my guess is that something about the external editing process has flagged it as being incompatible. There are workarounds for converting GarageBand for OSX files into an iOS compatible form, but not having a Mac I haven't tested any of them.

Load Source File Names into Recordset Object

Hi,
I have a folder with abc.txt, xyz.txt, pqr.txt etc files.
My requirement is to load all the file names into a Record Set which I need to use in data flow. I think I need to use For each loop container with Enumerator as 'Foreach File Enumerator' and in the variable mappings I have added a variable name
to get the file name. But I have stuck how to add these file names to a Record Set target. Please help me.
Thanks.

Loading wave file data into array

Greetings
For starters, I'm still learning java, so forgive me if this is a trivial question. I've been using the documentation on the java sound api as a guide. What I am trying to do is to load a wav file data into a byte array and eventually I will need it to have it in an int array so I can pass the data into a demodulation algorithm to display as an image. This wave file is a recorded signal from a NOAA satellite. Here is my code thus far:
public boolean loadFile(File soundFile) {
          int totalFramesRead = 0;
          boolean result=false;
          File fileIn = new File(soundFile.getPath());
          try {
               AudioInputStream ais = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile);
               int bytesPerFrame = ais.getFormat().getFrameSize();
               // Set an arbitrary buffer size of frames.
               int numBytes = 1024*bytesPerFrame;
               byte[] audioByte= new byte[numBytes];
               try {
                    int numBytesRead = 0;
                    int numFramesRead = 0;
                    // Try to read numBytes bytes from the file.
                    while ((numBytesRead = ais.read(audioByte)) != -1) {
                         // Calculate the number of frames actually read.
                         numFramesRead = numBytesRead / bytesPerFrame;
                         totalFramesRead += numFramesRead;
                         return(result= true);
               } catch (Exception ex) {
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(desk, " Error Loading File" ,"Error",
                         JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
               ais.close();
               throw ex;}
          } catch (Exception ex) {
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(desk, " Error Loading File" ,"Error",
                         JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
          return result;

Load external SWF file into another SWF

Hello all.
I've tried loading a .swf file externally into another .swf file on my local drive, and it works. Now, when I try to Simulate Download, the preloader in the 2nd file doesn't get played and the images in there take a while to get displayed.
I need to load a .swf file from a server into the parent .swf file(I'm working on using a "thin flash file" for added security for the company I work for - blank file which loads the content from another file on their server).
So far, I have:
try
    var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    addChild(myLoader);
    var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("newBook.swf");
    myLoader.load(url);
catch (e:Error)
    trace("ruhroh");
When I replace the "newBook.swf" with the URL of another .swf, there's just a blank page.
I'm not too sure how to proceed, and I hope you will be able to help me out. I'd greatly appreciate the help.
Many thanks,
-Nazgul

What happens is...when I set the speed to DSL(32.6kbps), the screen is blank and the preloader doesn't show up. It just goes directly to the Main screen. And then, the pages inside don't get loaded properly.
This only happens when I try to Simulate Download.
But that's not really the problem. I need to load a .swf file from a server into another .swf file, and just adding the link to the child .swf isn't working.
Anyway, thanks for your help

Color swatch file has radically changed!

Hi,
About a month ago I created a color swatch file of our new company "colors." I put the swatch file (*.ase) into all the respective directories for InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop. Well, here it is a month later and I tried loading that file. And, everything's gone! When I load it, no changes at all take place in the swatches palette. One thing I had to do in the past month is to delete InDesign 5.5.1 because some of my plug-ins weren't working. So, during that time that I was on 5.5 I never tried to access this swatch file. But, when my plug-in vendor updated their software, then, I re-loaded InDesign 5.5.1. I don't think that has anything to do with this problem. But, anyway, this was a lot of work.
Thanks,
Peter

There's a lot here that's not clear.
First, version number would be 7.5.1 I presume? That's the latest patch for CS5.5.
Is the .ase file missing altogether, or is the color mode differnt, or is it just different in appearance? That last could be casued by differnces in color settings from document to document or version to version.

How to import color palette into illustrator

Since I am new to illustrator, I have a very simple question. I have a color palette from my company. This is the company colors. I would like to input these colors into the color palette of illustrator so I use those colors for our designs, etc. What is one way to do this?

Might be better to open the JPEG in Photoshop and create swatches there. Then you can export those swatches as ASE which you can then load into Illustrator.
In Illustrator you can include those swatches in a document profile. which you can then base your files upon.

Can I view all the colors in an .ASE file?

I would like to import all of the colors in an .ase file to view them together in a grid as data for research I'm doing. Is there a way to access all the colors in a palette at once and import them into a Photoshop, InDesign, or Illustrator file? (there are hundreds)

As far as I understand it, the Script Render Swatch Legend might do what you want:

But probably not. In that case please explain further.

How to load color table in a indexed mode file??

How to load color table in a indexed mode file??
Actually, if i opened a indexed file and want to edit color table by loading another color table from desktop (or any other location), any way to do this through java scripting??

continuing...
I wrote a script to read a color table from a GIF file and save to an ACT color table file. I think it might be useful for someone.
It goes a little more deeper than the code I posted before, as it now identifies the table size. It is important because it tells how much data to read.
Some gif files, even if they are saved with a reduced palette (less than 256), they have all the bytes for the full color palette filled inside the file (sometimes with 0x000000). But, some gif files exported in PS via "save for web" for example, have the color table reduced to optimize file size.
The script store all colors into an array, allowing some kind of sorting, or processing at will.
It uses the xlib/Stream.js in xtools from Xbytor
Here is the code:
// reads the color table from a GIF image
// saves to an ACT color table file format
#include "xtools/xlib/Stream.js"
// read the 0xA byte in hex format from the gif file
// this byte has the color table size info at it's 3 last bits
Stream.readByteHex = function(s) {
function hexDigit(d) {
    if (d < 10) return d.toString();
    d -= 10;
    return String.fromCharCode('A'.charCodeAt(0) + d);
var str = '';
s = s.toString();
     var ch = s.charCodeAt(0xA);
    str += hexDigit(ch >> 4) + hexDigit(ch & 0xF);
return str;
// hex to bin conversion
Math.base = function(n, to, from) {
     return parseInt(n, from || 10).toString(to);
//load test image
var img = Stream.readFromFile("~/file.gif");
hex = Stream.readByteHex(img);      // hex string of the 0xA byte
bin = Math.base(hex,2,16);          // binary string of the 0xA byte
tableSize = bin.slice(5,8)          // Get the 3 bit info that defines size of the ct
switch(tableSize)
case '000': // 6 bytes table
tablSize = 2
