Need Illustrator CS4 plug-in for export to HP PLT files

Hi,
We encountered a problem with supplying the laser plotter with .PLT files (it's the only format plotter software takes). it seems that no CS4 application can export to .PLT format, why ? is there any plug-in for Illustraotr or Photoshop that we could use ?
Converting JPG/BMP rasters to vectorized PLT files with Corel is an option, but we want to avoid that unnecessary complication and eliminate Corel from the process.
thanks.

Unless I'm misunderstanding the content, I'd much rather eliminate JPG/BMP from the process. If the original is vector content in AI, export as a vector format that Draw can open (earlier version .ai, or .dxf) and then export the HPGL from Draw.

  • Illustrator CS4 "out of memory" exporting to PSD

    illustrator CS4 "out of memory" exporting to PSD.
    settings to write layers at 300 dpi.
    worked fine a week ago, suddenly no memory?
    even tried with a 3 inch square and it would not export to Photoshop.
    Works fine in CS6, but I don't always have access to CS6.

    Impossible to tell without actualyl knowing what your settings are. I stil lthink that this issue could be related to your color management or you inadvertently attaching soemthing odd to your graphics because you may have accidentally defined something as the default appearance and it now messes up the simplest object you draw... Perhaps you can provide soem screenshots....

  • Illustrator CS4 plug-in

    I've watched lately a tutorial on the web on how to make a pyramid in Illustrator CS3. I tried to do the same in CS4 but when i tried to find the plug-in for bevel, I couldn't find it. Moreover, I tried to open any other plug-in, but it displayed that the file is an unknown format for illustrator and couldn't be read. Why was it so easy in CS3 and why is it impossible in CS4?

    Jet, I've almost done it. But each time I drop the diagonal line in the symbols bar and hit save file, an error occurs: "Can't save the illustration.The file is locked(use the Properties command in Windows Explorer to unlock) or in use. ID= -54." Any idea on this one?

  • Illustrator CS4 not flattening for PDF 3rd time asking this question

    Everytime I save my Illustrator file as an Pdf file so I can upload it to the company I use for printing site, the layers are all off center. My printing company has not changed anything in there system to have this problem happen. I actually saved the to Illustrator CS3 then saved it as a PDF, and it uploaded fine and it was correct. It seem that Illustrator CS4 is not flattening the file correctly. I never had this problem with CS3. I contacted the adobe they have no idea why this is happening, they said it hould not be happening. Has anyone had this problem and how did you solve it?

    here is an example, when I upload this image to the printers I loose the white background and eveything on the bottom of the card is pushed up. The same thing happens with the brochure I have. I can't upload that because this site will not allow it.

  • Flash CS4 plug in for swf array?

    Hey everyone.  Does anyone know if there's a free Flash CS4 plug in that creates a swf array that loads external swfs in order and can control the timeline without having to mess with Actionscript?  I'm not even sure what to put in Google to search for such a plug in.
    Right now, I have an array like that.  I got the code from some very helpful people on here.  I still don't understand the majority of the code, though, so I was wondering if a plug in could do the same job that Actionscript does.  I have the code for my Flash file in another discussion thread, and I'm trying to get my file to stop looping the swfs when it reaches the end of the array.  If anyone's curious about seeing the code I'm talking about or if they know how to solve the loop problem, here is the link to that thread:

        mcl.addListener(listener);
           // When the swf loads, set it up to constantly check its current frame
        // against the total frames, and if those match, the swf is done playing.

  • Illustrator CS4 Trial asking for serial number

    I just installed Illustrator CS4 TRIAL and it is stating that trial has expired and is asking for a serial number.  I literally only downloaded this about an hour ago.
    Does anyone have any ideas what is up with that?
    Thanks!

    You had another trial (of another product) and let it time out, locking the licensing system or another existing Adobe product is preventing the trial from running. Nothing you can do about it, unless you feel like wiping your computer and reinstalling your operating system from scratch plus al lthe software.

  • Need old 'missing plug in' for Java 6

    Hi all,
    I have recently downloaded the new Java 7 download however this is not compatible with alot of programmes that I need to use on my computer.
    I have completly restored all of my computer and am now back to square one so have the Java 6 download. I am told that I am missing the plug in though and the only option I have is to download the Java 7 plug in or whatever the option is.
    Can anyone advise me as to how to go about getting back the old plug in for Java 6.
    Thanks

    Check out Java for Mac FAQs. IIRC, they give the directions to revert.
    Turns out those instructions are wrong and apparently out of date.
    First they include the "% " prompt before the commands which tends to confuse Mac users, especially the majority who are using bash with a "$ " prompt and not tcsh. Users should ignore the percent sign-space before sudo.
    Next they forgot to escape the space between "Internet" and "Plug-Ins" so the command fails to find the target directory.
    Then they provide a simlink to the wrong plug-in.
    At least one user has successfully switched from the Java 7 plugin to the Java 6 plugin using the followng two lines:
    sudo rm -rf /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
    sudo ln -s /System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle/Contents/Resources/JavaPlugin2_NPAPI .plugin /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
    I suspect the simlink (last term in the second command) could be named "JavaPlugin2_NPAPI.plugin" and work just as well, but I have not way to test that.

  • Illustrator CS4 view doesn't match view of same file in Acrobat

    We're seeing a pretty strange problem with Illustrator CS4 (Mac and PC). The problem seems to happen ins CS5 and CS6 as well. We have a complex piece of artwork for a foil blister and we use a paragraph of text that has 3 transforms applied to which effectively step and repeat the paragraph of text in a repeat pattern across the artwork. This setup very precisely as it needs to be 100% accurate for print purposes as several units are printed side by side and the repeat runs across the units. Everything is setup correctly in Illustrator and then we re-save as a PDF with 'Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities' on.
    We genearally save as a PDF 1.6 but we have tried all the combinations now. The file still looks perfect in Illustrator but when the PDF is opened in Acrobat (any version) the step and repeat (transform) on the paragraph of text is now no longer in alignment on onside of the artwork but still OK on one side. No matter what we do we can't fix this problem andit's recreatable each time. Also it's not file specific as we can build a new file and it will also exhibit the problem. We're only talking about a tiny jump here - <0.2mm but this means the artwork is out of spec. Any help is gratefully received!!!!

    Hi Russell
    Never a dumb question if it it had pointed us in the right direction. Yes the fonts are all embedded (legally). We tried the Acrobat Preferences but the don't make any difference. If we outline the fonts in Illustrator the problem still happens when we do a save as so it doesn't seem to be a font issue.
    regards

  • Canon XF Plug-in for FCP7 still not reading files

    I downloaded the Canon XF Plug-in for Final Cut Pro, so that I can log and transfer files from CanonXF 305 to FCP7 but it still doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? Also, do I have to log and transfer directly from the camera or can I just use the files?

    Copy the entire card. From the  L&T pane click the Mount Volume icon and select the Clips folder. Should work.

  • Why am I getting a "-01" after my differently named Exports in Illustrator CS4?  i.e.: JPEG and PNG files.

    Again, the files I am Exporting are assigned different names than the CS4 Illustrator file and/or any other files in destination Folder.
    Thx.

    OK. Just tested not using "Use Artboards" and it did not add "01".
    Odd that it started doing that after several years of not doing that.
    I'll just have to add a box around the Page edges so it will crop correctly for me.
    Live and learn, Scott.
    Thanks much for your your help!  )))

  • Need power converter/plug adapter for trip to Russia

    A family member will be in Moscow, Russia for a few weeks, later this month. I've already talked to AT&T about the cost of using the phone, SMS and the data network (it ain't cheap!). However, our REAL concern is how to charge the iPhone 3G while in Moscow.
    Can someone recommend some converter/adapter devices that will suffice for the trip? I know nothing about how Russia's electric power differs from the US.
    Thanks

    Apple's Ultracompact USB Adapter works with 100-240v, 50-60 Hz. Moscow electricity is 220V 50Hz. All you would need is a European plug adapter with two circular metal pins. Here's one: http://www.calcellular.com/uni-ad-2la.html

  • Need help with designing form for exports

    Hi
    I am pretty new to designing form in adobe acrobat.
    I have adobe acrobat 9 standard with Adobe liveCycle Designer installed.
    There are couple of things I want to do.
    1.
    I would like to add a box where I can change the number (default is 1), and when I increase it, (for instance to two)
    then
    it will postulate the particular sections twice.
    For instance, I am taking two drugs right now, then I would like to increase the number of drugs to 2, so then for each drug
    I would enter appropriate information such as drug name, drug form, route of drug administration etcs
    I hope this is clear
    2.
    I am trying to export this in xml format so that only the ones where the user fills in in pdf form gets exported to xml format.
    I would like the boxes to have its own tag, for instance the drug name mentioned above can have a tag of <drugname></drugname>
    I know this is possible through changing the box's name in binding tab.
    What I am interested in is to add a tag for the section, like a header.
    For example, if I were to enter two drug information I want the first drug information to be exported to be
    <drug>
    <drugname>blah</drugname><drugform>1</drugform><drugroute>oral</drugroute>
    </drug>
    <drug>
    <drugname>drug2</drugname><drugform>1</drugform>
    <drugroute>ophthalmic</drugroute>
    </drug>
    how would I add <drug> </drug> for each drug?
    also, can I change the order of the tags??
    in the pdf form, if the drugname box is displayed later than drugroute box, then when I export it, it will display as
    <drugroute>oral</drugroute><drugname>blah</drugname>
    but I want to manually set the order of tags when exported.
    Sorry I asked so many questions
    I hope it is clear enough for you to visualize what I am trying to do
    Thank you so much

    1. You can certainly add sections for the number of drugs that the user specifies pr
    ovided that the form is set up the correct way to begin with. The drug information section must be wrapped in a subform (usually Poistioned) and that in turn must be wrapped in a flowed subform. Then the form must be saved as dynamic. If this information is all that is on the form then that shoudl be all you need to do. If th edrug section is in the middle of the form then you need to wrap the other parts of the form in a subform so they can be pushed down when we add the drug subforms. It can get confusing ...seeing the form amnd its structure would help to clarify.
    2. You canbnot change the names of tags on the fly but you can change their values. AS mentioned above, when you wrap the Drug information in a subform that subform name can be used as a tag in the XML. Then you could have a node with the tag (or an attribute) that names the drug in question. Something like this:
    <Drug Section>
         <Drug>
              <DrugName></DrugName>
              <Dossage></Dossage>
              <Supplier></Supplier>
         </Drug Subform>
         <Drug>
              <DrugName></DrugName>
              <Dossage></Dossage>
              <Supplier></Supplier>
         </Drug>
    </Drug Section>
    As mentioned earlier this is always easier to explain when you see it in context of your form.....if you want to send it to me at [email protected] I can get you started at least. Please include a description of your issue in the email
