Problems postscript: vector graphics to FlexRip

Hi guys, I have a very serious problem in my company often happens that generating a postcript with illustrator and passing through the dispatcher FlexRip Vers 12 (Esko), cause problems on the edges of the letters, vector graphics or parts of graphics, as if they were made hacksaw. PDF instead of going through this does not happen the problem is that for our needs we must use the postcript.
This occurs sometimes in relatively simple work and very important this problem is totally random in different points, I use Illustrator CS6.
Thanks very much for the answer
(Very soon I will enclose a picture)

I tried to save in. eps and generate the postscript but the error is always there, vector graphics ruined ...THE LAST 2 picture show error

Jagged vector graphics from Illustrator in Indesign

Using CS3, Leopard, have all updates.
I'm having problems with vector graphics created in Illustrator getting jagged when dragged from Illustrator to Indesign (or copied and pasted or placed as Illustrator file). They look jagged (stair stepped) in InDesign, also in Acrobat after exporting a pdf, and after printing. The vector image in question is a rectangle with rounded corners with an "Envelope Distort - make with warp" applied to it. Is the problem that I'm trying to drag an envelope distorted graphic into InDesign? Are there settings to make this work?

"They look jagged (stair stepped) in InDesign, also in Acrobat after exporting a pdf, and after printing."
Doesn't sound like a screen preview issue to me.
If a placed AI file has jagged edges on print and in PDF, but looks good in Illy, then something is amiss. Your transparency settings could be set to rasterize the line art. Make sure you're using one of the canned flattener presets (high, med, low) if there is any transparency in your page (little checkered icon by the page icon in the page palette).

I am having a drawing model (proe .drw file). I want to print this file to a .tif file using java.The print driver is "Informatik Image Driver 3.20".
.Can some one help me out with the steps involved in this.
I understand .drw file are of type Vector Graphic. How to print it.
I also have a corresponding postscript file generated from the .drw file. Is there a way to print this post scritp file to the printer mentioned above to create .tif.
Any quick help will be deeply appreciated.

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).

Using a vector graphic for a button

Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Encore CS5, everything is patched, Windows 7 64-bit
I have been reading various posts, and either not seeing or not understanding something about using a vector graphic as a button on a menu.
I drew a one-color shape in Illustrator, saved it as EPS and PNG and used it in a menu designed in Photoshop. When I preview it in Encore or burn a DVD, the graphic looks awful. And I'd like to use highlighting with it so it changes color when selected but that is another problem....
To start the menu, I used the Photoshop preset NTSC DV Widescreen which has a pixel aspect ratio of 1.21. Then I added background graphics and so on. Each button is contained in a layer group named (+)PlayAll, etc. In each layer group is a text layer that doesn't have a prefix (e.g., Play All) and another layer with the vector or PNG named (=1)kv, which is the name of the EPS or PNG file.
The behavior is fine. The graphic moves to indicate which menu item is selected, the text is constant, never changes.
In Photoshop, the graphic looks fine but when I preview it in Encore it looks crappy and pixelated. What do I do?

Part of the problem is I have no idea what some of these terms mean ... "2-bit indexed", ... The first one might mean an object that has one color,
It is not the same as one color, and yes, it probably means more than any of us intend. See Encore help regarding button subpictures, in particular the part regarding using Photoshop to create button subpictures.
The latter includes "(Technically, the subpicture overlay is a two‑bit indexed image.)," but you don't need to understand the technical meaning (they don't explain it anyway). You do need to understand the liimitations they explain there, For example, under "solid colors only," they say "Elements on these layers must use solid colors and sharp edges. Use one solid color per layer. Do not use gradients, feathering, or anti-aliasing on the subpicture layers. Color gradations are not possible in subpictures."
"sub-picture highlight" ... the second one is probably made up.
Heh, heh. Searching that in Encore help (which I often find lacking) finds the page on Button Subpictures. I agree that some of the terms, whether they are from the DVD specs or Sonic's applications (on which Encore is based), can make it difficult to look things up.
"vector layer".... I searched Photoshop help for "vector layer" and got nothing. There is such a thing as a vector mask on a layer but I have no clue what a vector layer is.
You're correct - vector mask. Within a button group, the vector mask will be part of a layer, so I think of it as the button group "vector mask" layer. That's part of why I pointed to using a library menu and editing in photoshop so you could compare what you have to what a template looks like.
Please suggest which Encore library menu I can try. I opened a couple and couldn't figure out how they worked.
In the General set, pick the Sunset menu. Edit in Photoshop. Expand the "(+) play movie" layer. The "button vector mask" (the dark area) is in the layer called "button." Notice that it does not have a (=1) or other indicator that it is a highlight. In other words, it will just sit there, in whatever color is defined, and will not be a highlight. If you put it in a layer that has one of the highlight indicators (the =1, =2 etc), it will then be subject to the subpicture highlight limitations.
You might try your graphic in such a non-subpicture layer, and compare its appearance to putting it in a subpicture layer.
Jeff Bellune's book (he's a moderator here) is still very applicable. While some things have change, the basics haven't.
But, hey, Jeff. Why haven't you updated your book yet? Inquiring minds want to know!

Bringing vector graphics from illustrator photoshop final cut express.

I'm having a heck of a time getting my logo from illustrator to photoshop to final cut express. It is squishing it. It looks jagged in photoshop. I am cutting and pasting from an eps file to a photoshop doc that is for film and video. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks to anyone who has answers.

If you have a problem with working with Photoshop you probably want to go to the Adobe forums.
If you're placing the vector graphic in a Photoshop file make it whatever size you need it to be. You're video image is the square pixel equivalent of 720x540. If you need the logo to fill the frame from edge to edge then make it that size. If you need it smaller, make the PSD smaller.

Vector graphic export?

How can I move vector graphics from Keynote to other applications (like Adobe Illustrator) using the new version? I had no problem in Keynote 5. I really like using Keynote to make images and if I can't figure it out I will have to switch over to Illustrator full time...

You answer seems inappropriate to me, and I hope to many others.
Then your using the wrong software. If your need is to create vector drawings then if you have Keynote version 5.3 use that, it is compatible with OS 10.6 Snow Leopard through to OS 10.10 Yosemite, alternatively use a dedicated vector drawing application, there are many to choose from, two are mentioned in this discussion.
It is so frustrating to see that the V6, that uses natively vectors shape, cannot export them by a simple cut and paste.
Keynote does not have this feature, use an appropriate application that meets your needs.
removing this feature is a true handicap for Keynote.
The purpose of Keynote version 6 is to; "create and deliver beautiful presentations", so states the Apple Keynote webpage.
Keynote is not disadvantaged in the least when creating presentations by the lack of exporting vector drawings.
Why would profesional designers use or promote Keynote if this software is no longer able to properly interact with other design tools?
Probably because it does in fact work very well with respected professional tools, it can import media from Photoshop, Illustrator, Word, Numbers, Excel, Indesign, Final Cut Pro, Garageband, Protools ..............
Apple has lost its common sense.
People have been saying that since 1976.

Tracing a .gif file to convert to a Vector graphic in Photoshop CS5 Extended

I have been on Photoshop CS3 for a couple of years, and now at work they upgraded to CS5 Extended. I am having some small problem finding some things I used to do a lot. I really need to take a bitmap, JPEG, or .gif file and "trace" it and make it into a scalable vector graphic. This used to be easy with Live Trace in CS3. But now on CS5, Live Trace seems to be nowhere to be found.
What gives?

I think Live trace is in Illustrator, not Photoshop.
(I still use Freehand. )
Edit: Snap!

Vector graphics import, labelling dilema

I'm using Framemaker 10, Autodesk Illustrator Publisher, Inkscape, Windows Vista.
I have imported some CAD illustrations from Autodesk Illustrator into Illustrator Publisher. There I have labelled them.
I have then saved/published them as .svg files.
If I import them directly in to Framemaker, they open with the callouts at a strange angle and 3/4 of the picture missing. Therefore I have to open them in Inkscape, bring the whole picture in to frame and line up the callouts.
Now I import them into Framemaker. The trouble is, the numbering is difficult to predict. The labelling/callouts/numbering always turns what looks to be bold. But the real problem is resizing the illustrations. Because there is no way of predicting the size of the output from Publisher, the illustrations have to be resized in Framemaker. This would be no problem usually as the illustrations are svg (vector graphics) but of course it resizes the labelling/callouts/numbering which makes it look really daft when I have 10 illustrations all with different sized fonts.
What do people in here do? Does anyone else use Vector graphics in their manuals.
I would really appreciate some response on this as I feel I've hit a brick wall here.
Thanks

> I'm using Framemaker 10, Autodesk Illustrator Publisher, Inkscape, Windows Vista.
Is Adobe Illustrator available?
> I have imported some CAD illustrations from Autodesk Illustrator into Illustrator Publisher. There I have labelled them.
Why not label them in Frame? We do, and it has advantages beyond avoiding text rendering and scaling issues, such as being able to re-use the same illustration for multiple purposes with different callouts. We use embedded callouts in our service manuals (the XML engine requires it), and depopulate the callouts (usually just switching off one layer) for re-use of that art in the Frame manuals.
> I have then saved/published them as .svg files.
Let me admit that I have no experience with SVG, due to lack of SVG support across all of our workflow, but we use vector EPS extensively.
> If I import them directly in to Framemaker, they open with the callouts at a strange angle and 3/4 of the picture missing. Therefore I have to open them in Inkscape, bring the whole picture in to frame and line up the callouts.
If SVG has preview/thumbnail embedded images, is there a chance that this is just a preview problem? What happens at print or render to PDF?
> Now I import them into Framemaker. The trouble is, the numbering is difficult to predict. The labelling/callouts/numbering always turns what looks to be bold. But the real problem is resizing the illustrations.
This is one of the downsides of embedded callouts. If the images cannot be pre-sized, either the text will scale arbitrarily, which is ugly, or it won't scale, which is a disaster. More bad news - your stroke weights are scaling too.
> Because there is no way of predicting the size of the output from ...
I would junk any image editor, vector or raster, that didn't provide that basic level of output control.
> Does anyone else use Vector graphics in their manuals?
Yes, sourced from Pro-E, AutoCAD, Adobe Illustrator, Frame and extractions from supplier PDFs of unknown origination. We clean them up in Adobe Illustrator, using specific dimensional extents, and a stroke weight that's acceptable for a limited range of up and down scalings. Callouts are added in Frame, using a self-masking arrow, and a self-masking bubble with a grouped text frame and a paragraph format specific to callout use.

Vector graphics

Hi all,
Have a bit of a problem here, I'm trying to create a vector graphic of this motif in Illustrator (CS5 Win 7) just can't figure it out. Tried using the pen tool but can't get one complete fill area like this image.
I want to be able to have a gradient fill for all of the coloured area and maintain the open space in the centre as you see here, it's a bit of a curly one if you will pardon the pun.
Any words of wisdom would be appreciated, thank you.

gofer,
You have to create two separate paths, for the outer and inner shapes, and you may Object>Compound Path>Make (or do it with one of the Pathfinders).
The gradientlike appearance may be created in different ways.

Use Raphael Vector Graphics Library in Adobe AIR

Have you used the Raphael Vector Graphics Javascript Library in Adobe AIR? What problems, pitfalls and challenges have you encountered?
To the Adobe AIR Team: It would be tremendously helpful and will be much appreciated if you can create a sample Adobe AIR application using Raphael.

Hi again jackson@mja.
I've given your scroll component a try just for some static texts, and I've found quite a few important bugs:
1. If the referenced sprite/movieclip is shorter than the scrolling area, it starts bouncing infinitely in a quite funny way,
    which renders the component unusable. Sometimes it even happens when the content is not shorter.
2. If your component is used inside another sprite/movieclip which is added dynamically from code ("addChild(mySprite);"),
    it doesn't work and stops with an error, because the EventListener for mouseDownHandler is being added to this.stage
    in the constructor, but a dynamic movieclip doesn't have access to the stage while in the constructor step (unless it is
    already in the stage added in the Flash IDE, such as in your FLA example). To fix this, I've added the following code
    to the ScrollArea() constructor:
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
this.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, close);
    And then I've added the following listener functions:
private function init(event:Event):void {
this.removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
this.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, this.mouseDownHandler);
private function close(event:Event):void {
this.stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, this.mouseDownHandler);
3. Also, the scrollbar is only correctly rendered if the scroll area is located at the up and left corner of the stage. To put text somewhere else, the component must be put inside a movieclip.
4. This is not really important, but I've found the following variables are never user and so I've removed these lines:
var xy:Point = this.localToGlobal(new Point(this.x, this.y));
var wh:Point = this.localToGlobal(new Point(this.width, this.height));
var sign:int = sign(obj[i]);
I hope this can help you improve your classes.
Best regards,
OMA2k

Vector graphics & animation using Flex

Hi,
I want to draw a vector graphics in flex 3 then later on I
need to do some animation on it. But I encounter some problem and I
cannot solve it and I get this error message "1120: Access of
undefined property circle". Thanks... Here is the code:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import flash.display.*;
private var circle:Shape = new Shape()
var xPos:Number = 100;
var yPos:Number = 100;
var radius:Number = 50;
circle.graphics.beginFill(0xFF8800);
circle.graphics.drawCircle(xPos, yPos, radius);
addChild(circle);
]]>
</mx:Script>

You can declare and initialize variables in a <script>
tag outside a function, but manipulating them must be done in a
function. In this case, having a function for the creationComplete,
or perhaps the initialize events works well.
Also, you can't add shapes by themselves to the app, you must
wrap them in a UIComponent.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
creationComplete="init()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.core.UIComponent;
import flash.display.*;
private var circle:Shape = new Shape();
private function init():void{
var xPos:Number = 100;
var yPos:Number = 100;
var radius:Number = 50;
circle.graphics.beginFill(0xFF8800);
circle.graphics.drawCircle(xPos, yPos, radius);
var comp:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
comp.addChild(circle);
addChild(comp);
]]>

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?

Transparency Flattening is being invoked.

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
