Loading vector graphics at runtime

Hi,
I'd like to know if there is any way or any vector graphic file format that i can load dynamically at runtime on a web-based flash application.
I have some files in pdf that i want to load in and i can convert them to jpgs at runtime and load the jpgs but then i lose vector graphics so when i zoom in and out they become pixelated.
I had a look a look at flashpaper to convert pdf to swf and load them in but i can't see anywhere in the documentation about converting the pdf's at runtime rather than manually dragging and dropping them in.
So far i've looked at pdf, svg and .ai but none of these can be loaded at run time just imported into the .FLA
So can this be done? Or alternatively is there an application that can do the pdf -> swf conversion from the commandline then i could trigger php to do the conversion at runtime.
thanks in advance.
Greg

Hi All,
I have a task to save running SWF file to be saved as vector graphics file format and get the same back in the Flex application. Request you to tell me what can be the vector graphics file extension and help me out how to achieve this task.
Thanks & Regards

Is it possible to load fxg graphics at runtime

Hi All,
I have costumers that want to change and update icons that where constructed with AI and are FXG graphics.

The AppModule for a page is configured in an attribute of the root element of that page. Maybe that attribute is available at the OAWebBean parameter in processRequest.

Problem loading vector EPS images

Hello All-
I'm having trouble loading vector EPS files (created in Adobe Illustrator CS2) in the data manager (version 5.5.34.46). I have Photoshop CS2 installed and have run the registry compatibility update. When I select the image to add to my data group, Photoshop launches (usually..) to load the preview image but when I say OK, I get one of the following errors:
1. Illegal value for parameter (within Data Manager)
2. Unspecified error (within Data Manager)
3. Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime error (within Data Manager)
4. Virtual function call failed (within Photoshop)
I am able to load TIF images although the preview images do not display correctly but I do not want to rasterize my existing vector EPS files.
After setting the images to RGB color space, I was able to do 2 or 3 EPS imports but it took several attempts and has since not functioned at all. The properties on these files show that they are in fact vector and they work downstream in Publisher and InDesign. This is how I'd like them all to work.
Any suggestions on how to make this work? Are vector EPS files supported?
Thanks
Tim

Tim-
Before upgrading to the latest hotfix, I did get a couple vector EPS files to load, and the preview did exist in Data Manager and Publisher. Trouble was, I couldn't consistently load the images without errors. Now I can load the images, but lost the preview. For the time being, this is the lesser of 2 evils.
I do not have any variants defined at this point so I can verify that linked images do NOT get published to InDesign (unless there is another setting I haven't found to force MDM to use Originals).
All of the raster graphics I tried (TIF & JPG) work just fine in Publisher and InDesign but as you probably know, vector graphics are the smaller and produce better results for DTP applications so they are preferred, if the choice is available.
If you're going to load SP05 right away, please post any findings that relate to these issues.
Thanks for your help.

Vector graphics in DW

Dear Friends,
I would like to showcase some of my vector graphics on an
html page built with DW. Can you pls advise if there is any format
- other than rasterizing & optmizing the vector files - that I
could use to load these vectors so that they could remain scalable
- for viewing purposes, by means of something like zoomify - and
retain their vector appearance?
As usual, your advice is greatly appreciated.

You could embed them in flash objects. SVG may be another
option, but I'm not sure that the support is wide enough yet.

Is it possible to get font names of the used vector graphics?

Hi All,
Is it possible to get the font names of the used vector graphics?

Hello Learner,
or you could try to read out the fonts from XMP metadata.
1. Load XMP Library
2. Read out XMP metadata from file
e.g.
      var _numberOfFonts = _xmpData.countArrayItems(XMPConst.TYPE_PAGEDFILE,"xmpTPg:Fonts");
      if(_numberOfFonts) {
        for(i=1;i<=_numberOfFonts;i++) {
            _path = XMPUtils.composeArrayItemPath(XMPConst.TYPE_PAGEDFILE,"xmpTPg:Fonts",i);
            _fontFamily = _xmpData.getStructField(XMPConst.TYPE_PAGEDFILE,_path,XMPConst.TYPE_FONT,"fontFamily");
            _fontface = _xmpData.getStructField(XMPConst.TYPE_PAGEDFILE,_path,XMPConst.TYPE_FONT,"fontFace");
            _fontType = _xmpData.getStructField(XMPConst.TYPE_PAGEDFILE,_path,XMPConst.TYPE_FONT,"fontType");

Animate Stroke Weight of a vector graphic

Hi. I'm new to adobe's programs and digital art as a whole, so bare with me. I've watched all of the tutorials on adobe's website to learn my way around and am excited to utilize these new tools. I'm trying to create an idea, but am having trouble figuring out how to do is this. I would like to create an animation of a vector graphic I created, but I would like the stroke weight to increase from .001 to about .3 or so. So It would be 300 frames. I imported my AI file to AE but there was no option to adjust the stroke weight in there. Is there an easy way to go about what I'm trying to do rather than save out 300 different files and organize them into a video? It's also composed of a complex pattern brush so I think the program is working pretty hard. It takes like 10 seconds or so for a big increase in stroke weight to load, but there is lots of detail so it makes sense I guess. Thanks for your time.

Thank you. I made a simple vector to test your method. This is exactly what I was trying to do. However, I think my image is too complex for the program to handle. I waited 53 minutes for after effects to try and load the shapes before force quitting.. Do you think I need to just be more patient and give it a few hours? My other concern with that though is if it manages to load all the shapes if I'm going to be experiencing ultra lag trying to do any editing to the image once it's fully loaded. My image is metatron's cube composed of very tiny metatron cubes. I'd upload the file for someone else to experiment with but it doesn't look like these forums have attachment options. Any advice on this issue? I'm running a 2011 iMac with 16gb ram. The activity monitor only shows about 1-4gb of ram being used during this process.

How do I convert a bitmap/jpg type image to vector graphics/editable outline?

Corel Draw 5 did this very nicely but it's obsolete and I can't load it onto this machine (HP all-in-one Pavilion desktop with Windows 8).
I am working with hand-drawn images but since I need to manipulate the outline/s with a 4 - 12 pixel tool, it would be great to just be editing nodes instead. Creating the image from scratch as a vector graphic would be a horrible large amount of work and is not feasible at this time.
Is there any way other than Corel Draw 5 to make the conversion from bitmap-type images to editable vector graphics, ie: editable nodes?
Thanks.
PS - I don't have $700 - $1000 to spend on software at this point but do have Photoshop Elements 11, Premiere 11 and Lightroom, plus GIMP and the usual. Where should I start?

For occasional conversions, did you consider 'online bitmap to vector' conversions ? Do a Google search for that.
For more advanced and free solution, consider inkscape. It's a real vector drawing tool and can convert bitmaps.

How do you prevent Acrobat PDFMaker from rasterizing vector graphics?

I am using the "Create PDF" button (provided by the Acrobat PDFMaker in Acrobat X) to create a PDF from a Microsoft Word 2010 document.
This works fine, except that vector graphics in the Word document appear in the resulting PDF as raster graphics. (That is, when I zoom in, document text outside the graphics appears smooth, but the graphics are blocky; and text inside the graphics that should be retained as text - it's not converted to curves - is just pixels.)
The original artwork for the vector graphics is in CorelDRAW X6 (sorry, Adobe!).
I have exported the following files from the original vector drawing in CorelDRAW:
- EPS (with TIFF preview)
- Windows metafile (.wmf)
- Enhanced metafile (.emf)
I can insert any of these files into Word okay (Insert > Picture), but the resulting PDF always contains a rasterized (bitmapped) version of the vector graphic ("line art").
From memory, this didn't use to happen in my previous working environment (Acrobat 8 Pro with Word 2003, using artwork exported from CorelDRAW 12).
How do you prevent Acrobat X PDFMaker from rasterizing vector graphics? Or is Word 2010 (or CorelDRAW X6) somehow to "blame" here?

Vector graphics with Photoshop Elements 13

How can I maintain the vector graphics that are saved for Illustrator (AI or EPS) in Photoshop Element 13. There are a lot of free typography graphics for Illustrator that I would love to use in Photoshop Elements 13

How to copy and paste vector graphics

I have a program that draws curves and I would like to copy and paste them as a path into Adobe Photoshop.
I am using the Clipboard class (Clipboard clipboard = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard()), but I
do not know what string I should use for the StringSelection argument in the setContents method. I tried the
string that describes my curves in PostScript.
But that didn't even work for pasting into Adobe Illustrator, although Illustrator is capable of opening
a PostScript file. (However Photoshop only opens a PostScript file as a bitmap, not as a path.)
With Illustrator, instead of pasting the curves, it just pasted the PostScript text.
Please help.
Thanks.

For me, freehep is the fifth hit when googling "java vector graphics library". But of course I don't get to "[Access hidden information|http://www.copernic.com/en/products/agent/index.html]" without paying up :).
For a simpler way: since you already say you can save to postscript, make a temporary ps file and export it in a file list (keywords "java drag and drop files"). Perhaps Illustrator then opens the file and the user can copy/paste it there. Otherwise you have to figure out what Illustrator expects on the clipboard and put it there in the same format.
Another option might be to use some com wrapper to talk to Illustrator directly (but probably need a commercial com wrapper for that).

Replacing bitmap text with vector graphic text

In a layout for an ebook I have some important black and white bitmap illustrations in tiff., 300 dpi. These have appeared ok on print, but on screen, reading the same pdf-file, they´re unacceptable, especially some texts in fontsize 5-6 pt are unclear. People tell me I have to convert the drawings, or at least the texts, to vector graphics.
Question: Can I open these tiff.s in Photoshop, change only the texts to vector graphics and then save in a format, that can be inserted in the Word2010 layout? (You might wonder why I use Word, but it was a question of economy, when the project was started up). Or are there other ways? Thanks for any answers!

You are right, there are no layers, some geometric shapes with texts in and around. It´s possible to mark or lassoe the bits of text, since spaces were made in the figures for the texts. And then delete them, and then insert new ones. That will be in another layer, I guess, but from that point I don´t know what to do :-)

Novice: Can I add vector graphics to a pdf?

Have Acrobat Pro 7 but have been using it only for creating simple pdfs from Office documents.
I'm starting my education on other capabilities.
Can I add vector graphics (shapes, text) to a pdf or do I need to get the pdf into a tool like AI first?
We're going to be working with maps (GIS output) and, to start, I'm assuming we'll want the maps as pdfs. In some cases we'll want to add some markup.
Thanks
Tom

As PDF is, essentially, a "non-editable" format (aside from minor touchups) you'll want to work content in an authoring application.
Output a PDF, containing the vector graphics, from an authoring application.
Provide the desired PDF page content in an authoring application as well.
Be well...
