Regarding eps-get_file_attribute

Hi Experts!
I am using eps_get_file_attribute to get the file attributes. and its working fine.
My question is when it gets the file it gives the time in field
FILE_MTIME = 1184744206.
How i can convert this number to get the orignal date and time.
I will appreciate your help.
thanks in advance.

AFP eps access/Open Problem

Hello
On our OES2SP2 (we mirated from NW6.5) we have a problem regarding eps files.
If MAC for example try to import/Link an eps file into a QuarkExpress Document, than the file is not displayed as preview and after the import the file is not displayed as image (QuarkExpress shows a grey box).
If you open the eps file from Photoshop and save the file back than the above mentioned process works without any problems.
i searched through forums and found an older posting saying to rebuild the Desktop.afp wich i did (within Imanger) but the problem still exists.
has anyone an idea how to fix this ?
For a Test i wrote a small script within Photoshop, where i open the files, add comment and save the eps file again. This works but has two problems, we have so many eps file(ok this is more a time problem) but not all eps files belong to photoshop, if you open an eps wich was not created within photoshop than photoshop wants to "raster" the eps file.
So any other solution is preferred.

Junk mail filter doesnt work.. what do I do?

Back when I was in 10.3.9, I was using Mail ever since we got this G5.. but then the Junk mail filter stopped working and Mail always hung whenever I was sent an EPS graphic.. so I said screw this and moved to Entourage. Been using that, but the Junk mail filter in THAT has stopped working.. and its annoying me. So.. I recently upgraded to 10.4.7 (now to .8) and I figured I would give Mail a try again. So, I load it up, it moves all my mail and accounts over.. fine. But the junk mail filter still seems to not be able to recognize all the spam crap I get as junk mail. What do I do?

Try this.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail.
Deselect "Enable junk mail filtering".
Quit and re-launch the Mail.app.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail.
Reselect "Enable junk mail filtering" and then select the Reset button at the bottom of the Junk Mail preferences window to completely reset the Junk Mail "learned" settings.
You can leave Junk Mail set to automatic when doing so. Using the Reset feature should work and the filter must be retrained but the filter learns quickly or should when working properly.
Regarding EPS graphic files, these have been known to cause problems with the Mail.app since the Mail.app displays all image/photo and single page PDF attachments inline or viewed in place within the body of the message which cannot be turned off.
If you receive EPS graphic files on a regular basis, take a look at Mail Attachments Iconizer.

IDCS4 preflight errors regarding resolution in .eps files from Illustrator

We have been having real problems with some (but not all) .eps files (both supplied and created in-house) in IDCS4. When viewed in Illustrator, the images are fine, but after the images have been imported into IDCS4, the problems begin. There is nothing obvious that is the same across all the images that IDCS4 has a problem with, apart from gradient fills.
Indesign's Preflight reports that the EPS files are below 300dpi. When we changed the 'display performance' of the images to 'high quality display', we could definately see parts of the image had become pixelated, despite the image being composed entirely of vectors.
We've tried resaving the images as .eps from Illustrator CS2, CS4, etc, and as .AI files, but to no avail. We can only presume that IDCS4 is causing this issue, as having resaved in all these different formats has provided no answers. The images have trasnpanrecy set to high res, the document raster effects settings is set to 300dpi.
This is repeatable on multiple Macs, running OSX 10.4 & 10.5. The only fix I have found is to enlarge Images in Illustrator, and scale them down in IDCS4
Any ideas anyone?

**UPDATE**
I have found that If I wrote out the images as .AI files from Illustrator CS2 (Not CS4 or CS4 saving as a CS2 file), the resulting AI file works OK.
This is no real solution though, and .EPS files allow for embedding the fonts and .AI files don't.
Tried creating extremely high-res transparency profiles, etc. Problem persists.

Questions regarding: 1) Photoshop and Illustrator softwares 2) .eps file formats.

I'm using a DELL PC running Win7. I have Adobe Photoshop CS (i.e. the first CS version from 2003).
I do not yet have Adobe Illustrator.
I'm creating images for a science publication. It includes graphs, chemical structures, color photos of lab
equipment. I use ChemBioDraw (Cambridgesoft, http://scistore.cambridgesoft.com) to draw chemical
structures and schematics. I've been using MS Powerpoint to draw graphs, make composites of photos, label
panels, and add annotation.
1) The publishing company wants line drawings to be in .eps format. I can copy and paste ChemBioDraw
and Powerpoint figures into Photoshop and then save them in .eps format. They look identical to me when in
.eps format. Will this be suitable for publication?
2) The ChemBioDraw figure file size increases more than tenfold when converted to .eps format. Is this
expected?
3) I have used Photoshop a lot in the past but not for my recent work. My coauthor uses Adobe Illustrator on
a PowerMac G5-9.1. He creates .eps files for line drawings. Are the drawing tools in Illustrator much
better than those in Photoshop? If I get Illustrator will I be able to manipulate photo images (create
composites, add annotation etc.) as I have with Photoshop in the past?
4) My coauthor has sent me some .eps line drawings. When I open them with Photoshop there is a gray and
white checkerboard pattern in the background. I believe this is because the background layer has been
eliminated (the image is in layer 1). Can such a file be opened in a way that the background is solid white?
5) Is there a Windows-compatible software for viewing .eps files that is simpler than Photoshop or Illustrator (i.e. no editing
function)?
Thanks,
Thomas C.

1) No. Photoshop does not create true vector files. Anyone asking for an EPS more than likely wants a true vector EPS file.
2) No way of telling without seeing the results. But it could be perfectly normal. Increased file size in an EPS does not automatically mean there is a problem.
3) Illustrator is a drawing tool. The tools in Illustrator are designed for object-oriented vector drawing. In many respects they are better than Photoshop's tools for those type of projects. And No, you can not edit photographs easily with Illustrator. While you can include photos or raster items within an Illustrator file, Illustrator is not inherently designed to edit iamges at a pixel level.
4) Just add a new layer and fill it with white (or whatever color). Vector EPS files have no background.
5) If you have Photoshop or Illustrator you have Bridge. You can view files in Bridge. I wouldn't know of any other Windows software. It may exist, I simply wouldn't know.

File Attributes from App Server by RFC (GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES does not work )

Hello,
We have an Objects application that is started through an RFC BAPI call from a Java app. The Java app. passes a file to the BAPI. We want to test, as efficiently as possible, if the file is 0 bytes long. We have tried /epsf/get_file_attributes but there is a problem with it being called remotely. We have Remote Enabled the function module. Local tests work fine (GUI User), but when it is called by the Bapi(Technical User) we receive sy-subrc = 2. I think it is referring to a 'Communication Error'.
I found a nice class, CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES for the workstation server, but nothing comparable for the application server.
Help is greatly appreciated as I am pulling my hair out.
Best Regards,
Mark Lengel

Hello Andreas,
The GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES fm is also from the EPS Function Group and provides the file size, it just does not work when called from Rfc/Bapi. Won't the GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING fm just return directory info ?
I am afraid I will have to resort to the OPEN, READ, CLOSE DATASET steps in order to check for a zero length file.
Regards,
Mark

Very slow working with eps files over new network

Please help!!!
Our IT has recently upgraded us from a OSX server to a 2 Terabyte SNAP SERVER 520.
I am using the only INTEL Mac in the department (we have another 10+ G5 PPCs running 10.4), and the only one using OSX 10.5. Since changing to the new server, I am also the only one with several file saving/opening issues.
I believe this is a network issue.
It is with mostly ADOBE products and we all know they will not support, working over the network. Due to the volume of files, I simply cannot drag files to my HD, and work locally. It is not practical. I also know that we have not had any issues in the past, and don't see why I can't get to the root of the problem.
**The most obvious issue is Illustrator .eps files.**
I can open and save .ai files in good time both locally, and over the network. There is no difference either way. HOWEVER, if it is an .eps file working over the network is not practical. I get the spinning wheel for about 2 minutes each time I open, save, or make a change. It is VERY slow. Working on eps files locally is fine (about the same speed as .ai files), but as soon as it hits the server, it is painfully slow to do anything.
Additionally, when saving Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign AND Quark 7 files (direct to the network), I am regularly getting "Could not save because write access was not granted", or "Could not save becasue unexpected end-of-file was encountered", or "Could not save because the file is already in use or as left open" type errors.
I simply then click 'OK', and then hit save again, and it either gives me the same message, or it goes into 'save as' mode which lets me save the file (same name, and same location, but the original file has disappeared).
I am connected to the server IP address through afp:// but have also tried cifs://. IT have removed all access to the server through smb://, so I cannot try this.
ANY help is appreciated.

With regard to the EPS issue, I think I may have found the source of the problem for SMB users: the Suitcase Fusion plug-in.
Did you make any progress on these issues?

How can I save an image with background transparency as an eps in photoshop?

I have to submit an eps of my logo and I would like it to have a transparent background. I have googled this many times, followed all of the suggestions and I'm still having trouble.

Follow the help text in PhS CS2. I have shown importat guidelines by bold text:
"To save a path as an image clipping path
Draw a work path that defines the area of the image you want to show.
Note: Paths are vector-based; therefore, they have hard edges. You cannot preserve the softness
of a feathered edge, such as in a shadow, when creating an image clipping path.
In the Paths palette, save the work path as a path.
Choose Clipping Path from the Paths palette menu, set the following options, and click OK:
For Path, choose the path you want to save.
For Flatness, leave the flatness value blank to print the image using the printer’s default value.
If you experience printing errors, enter a flatness value to determine how the PostScript interpreter
approximates the curve. The lower the flatness value, the greater the number of straight lines used
to draw the curve and the more accurate the curve. Values can range from 0.2 to 100.
In general, a flatness setting from 8 to 10 is recommended for high-resolution printing
(1200 dpi to 2400 dpi), and a setting from 1 to 3 for low-resolution printing (300 dpi to 600 dpi).
If you plan to print the file using process colors, convert the file to CMYK mode.
Save the file by doing one of the following:
To print the file using a PostScript printer, save in Photoshop EPS format, DCS, or PDF format.
To print the file using a non-PostScript printer, save in TIFF format and export to Adobe InDesign,
or to Adobe PageMaker® 5.0 or later. "
An image with clipping path contains everything outside the path as transparent.
Tested actually by PhS CS6.
Photoshop is not the right tool. Better use Illustrator or InDesign (ID for logos which are not too complex).
Graphical objects in IL or ID reside on a transparent background without any selection or clipping path
(PostScript concept).

EPS files placed in InDesign can't be saved in Photoshop until the ID document is saved

Hi!
I'm wondering if there's a way around this problem.
When mounting an EPS images in InDesign that image can't be saved in Photoshop until the InDesign document has been saved.
Is there a workaround for this problem?
It doesn't happen with TIFF files, for example.

What Bob means here is that when Photoshop opens an EPS it instantly rasterises it. Whereas you can save an eps with vector shapes, vector masks and type and it outputs as vector, once it's reopened in Photoshop it's completely rasterised by default.
The preferred format would be a PDF as this would retain the vector shapes, masks, type for both editing and output.
A psd will output everything as raster at the native file resolution, although you can open the PSD file and edit the vector elements.
If the original EPS from the OP has no vector elements and is just a raster document, then it won't do any harm opening it in Photoshop.
EPS won't support layers though.
Whereas PSD and PDF (version 6 and above) do support layers.
There's plenty of info in this document regarding the subject - http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/cs4/articles/cs4_printguide.html (links are on the right to download the document)

ALT text not appearing in PDF for EPS files

Hi,
I have a created a document in InDesign CS5.5 which has images and text. the document should be accessibility complaint.
The document has images which are in PSD, tiff, eps and PNG files. I have applied the Alt text for each images.
After I export the document as PDF, when I mouse over the images, the Alt text is appearing for all the image formats except EPS file format. But Acrobat reads the Alt text for the image.
I am wondering why the Acrobat is not showing the ALT text for EPS file formats when i mouse over the image.
Is anyone facing the same problem? should I do anything in the settings?
please help.

The EPS image is not created in photoshop. the image is created in Illustrator.
Also, what do you mean by Single image? can you please explain a bit more about that?
Thanks.

How to save as .ai file to .eps format ??

Hi all,
Could anyone help me out on the below problem.
I need to write a script which will save a .ai file to .eps file format and store in to a fixed location. (Ex \\10.99.0.60\epsfile\)..
This action should happen on executing the script.
        Here we don’t need to enter the file name .It will be saved to the same file name. We just have to change the extension of the file and store it to a fixed location.        Ex: when the current file name is ‘test.ai’ the output file name will be ‘test.eps’
Please help me on the abhove issue.
thanks and Regards,

Try this. Cut and paste into the AppleScript Script Editor Application. Save as whatever name in HD>Applications>Adobe Illustrator CS4>Presets>Scripts folder and restart.
This will open all files of the fileTypes in a folder and resave them as AICS4 files with compression and PDF compatibility. It will do a folder only not a Directory. You'll have to put in your own error handling for bad fonts. It makes all files CMYK and updates legacy text.
-- BEGIN CODE
set fileTypes to {"EPSF", "PDF ", "ART5", "TEXT"} -- file types available to resave as Illustrator
-- get a sourceFolder that holds the files to resave as AI
set sourceFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder with files to resave as Illustrator:") as text
-- get a list of files of the defined type in the sourceFolder
tell application "Finder" to set workingFiles to (every file of folder sourceFolder whose file type is in fileTypes) as alias list
-- now you have your fileList argument
-- get a destinationFolder to hold the PDFs
set destinationFolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder to hold the Illustrator files:"
SaveFilesAsIllustrator14(workingFiles, destinationFolder)
on SaveFilesAsIllustrator14(fileList, destinationFolder)
    set destinationPath to destinationFolder as string
    repeat with aFile in fileList
        tell application "Finder"
            set fileName to displayed name of aFile -- get displayed name
            set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "."
            set newFileName to text item 1 of fileName
            set newFilePath to destinationPath & newFileName & ".ai"
        end tell
        tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
            open aFile forcing CMYK with options {update legacy text:true}
            save current document in file newFilePath as Illustrator with options {class:Illustrator save options, embed linked files:true, PDF compatible:true, font subset threshold:0.0}
            close current document saving no
        end tell
    end repeat
end SaveFilesAsIllustrator14

Indesign crashes when exporting to pdf with .eps and .ai files placed

Hi everyone,
I have an Indesign file with 4 placed Illustrator .eps file placed. Whenever I try to export to pdf, it starts to export and then when it reaches a page with a .eps file on it, it hovers for a minute and then Indesign crashes. I decided to save these 4 .eps files as .ai files and replace them. Now when I export to pdf, it gets through the export and a pdf file is created but immediately after, Indesign crashes.
Is this a sign of corrupt .eps or .ai files or a corrupt Indesign file? All I know is that if I remove all the image files, then the ID file is fine, ie. it exports and ID doesn't crash.
Is there a way to test either .eps, .ai or Indesign files for corruption, and if they are corrupt is it possible to repair them?
Appreciate any help offered.

You haven't said which version of Indesign you are using or other specs, but I would bet that you are using CS2 on an Intel Mac. CS2 runs under Rosetta on an Intel Mac, and I have found that memory problems are often the result of crashes like the ones you have described. My advice is to stay away from EPS files and use AI or PSD, especially if the file is a bitmap or photo. This has eliminated all the crashes that used to occur on my system. As far as the crashes after making PDF files, I don't have a solution other than restarting Indesign after exporting a PDF file or two at a time. The same Rosetta memory problem seems to mess it up for me. Mine would just exit from Indesign with no warning. Hope this helps.

Email the Output of Report under HTML Format instead of .eps

Hi to all
I having Developer 6.0.5.0.2. I want to send an email from
report (Using Lotus Notes email client) as an HTML attachment.
Could any one guide me how to do that?
null

Set DESFORMAT = HTML in the Parameter Form Builder.(or in the
system Parameters under Data Model)
the DESTYPE should be MAIL only then you won't get the .eps file.
Hope this helps.
