Save as PDF and AI file at the same time?

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if it's possible to save an AI file as both an AI file & PDF file at the same time??
Where i work, we always need to save an AI file and a PDF file. So is there a way I can set up my Illustrator so everytime i save something, it'll  save the AI file and automatically create the PDF too? ..
Or is there no way around .... Save as: Illustrator file.  /   Save as: PDF file in two separate actions?...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Jay

No, it is not possible in the base product.
(I guess it is probably doable with scripting, I'll defer to others on that.)
But can you stop and tell us why you want to do this?
AI files with "Preserve PDF Compatibility" and PDF files with "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" are functionally equivalent. Both of which are the default. In both cases, the file contains a PDF portion that is visible to PDF viewers, and an Illustrator private data section that is used by Illustrator. Two entirely complete versions of the information that can stand on their own appear in both file types.
While I realize the requirement may be beyond your control, it would still be good to understand it's origin.

  • How to run save for web and contact sheets at the same time

    Hi
    my question is simple and a means to save time-
    Lets suppose I have 3 camera images and I want to run either save for web applications on 2 cameras at the same time, how/can i do that to save time or lets say contact sheet action on 1 and save for web on the other to save time or photoshop files and this runs in the background?
    would really help save me time.

    Even if you could run the three process in the background at the same time I do not think the duration of the total execution time would be any shorter. You would still be executing the same number of processor instruction reading and writing the same number of files. If the whole processor was constrained by the processing power running them cuncurrenly may increase the processing time because of contention for the processor. If the processes are IO bound that will not change a overlaping the processes may cause more hard disk seaking because of contention of the hard disk arm.

  • Trace and error file at the same time ?

    hello,
    i start my reports through java-runtime.
    i want to produce TraceFile and ErrFile at the
    same time. But whenever i start the Trace i don't seem
    to get an error file ?
    is this a choice between ErrFile OR TraceFile or
    is there any trick i didn't figure out ?

    Get with your developer and see what the code is really doing as well as how it is being used. All of the deadlocks I have encountered to date had their root cause in the application code. Spending some time with the developers to see what they are doing and more importantly why, will lead you to finding a solution to your deadlock problem.

  • Can I search for pdf and word documents at the same time in finder?

    I often want to search for more than one file type at a time - for instance pdfs and word docs in a directory, or Jpgs, GIFs, PNGs etc.
    Can I do this in the finder in one go (so I can save it as a folder I can then select when I want to)?
    I tried typing OR between the 'tokens' it creates, but then it just searches for OR - so not as intelligent as one would think?!
    Surely there must be a way to do something as simple as this?
    regards
    Rob

    Forget the whole "tokens" business (I think that is a pretty useless "improvement" to constructing Spotlight searches). Hit command-F to bring up the search window, and set your first criteria, in the example I changed it from the default Kind to Created Date, to keep the number of results manageable. Now hold down the Option key and click on the "+" at the end of the criteria line, it will change to "..." and you get a new criteria line. From the dropdown menu choose "Any" if necessary (this will give you the Boolean OR), then enter what you want in the first sub-head. To get a second sub-head OR criteria click the "+" at the end of the Any line.
    I don't generate many MS Word docs, so I just stopped in the example above after typing Microsoft, since that brought up all the MS anything I have from this year (a couple of Power Point thingies sent to me by friends).

  • How do I play a video and audio file at the same time on Apple Tv?

    I need to play a video loop (with no audio) on my apple tv and also play some music in the background. Its a video loop with no audio and then I need music to play in the background. The loop needs to repeat all day because its only 5 min long and the audio is an entire play list that's several hours. This is for a lobby flat screen setup.

    QuickTimeKirk wrote:
    Very difficult request because the Apple TV can only play one file at a time. It doesn't have a "loop" feature.
    You could use QuickTime Player Pro to "join" the audio files into one file. The hard part would be adding the five minute video chunks via copy/paste as each would be added as a new "video" track. QuickTime .mov files can have up to 99 "tracks" and the .mov container is supported by Apple TV.
    So this new file would have a new video track (actually just a copy of the original) that played up to 98 times. A five minute source video would end up being a bit over 8 hours in duration.
    The 98 track video could be "flattened" into one video track via export. The same for the audio track movie.
    Other options:
    Set the Quicktime Loop flag in the movie inspector properties.
    Make a video playlist, adding the file to the playlist lots of times - make sure playlists are enabled in Settings for video not just music.

    You never edit within a clip. The purpose of opening a clip is to make sync adjustments, audio equalization, color correction, stabilization, things that you might want do overall to the master clip before you edit it. You edit the portion of the clip you want from the browser into a project. There is really very seldom any need to open a clip into the timeline.

  • Can you use iTunes match and not get duplicates if you maintain mp3s and aiffs files of the same song in either the same or separate libraries?

    I maintain a collection of aiff files and mp3 files of the same music.
    Aiff for home listening and Mp3 for my devices.
    I can arrange these in the same or seperate libraires.
    Will "itunes match" duplicate the songs in the cloud if they in the same or seperate libraies on the same mac?
    If not, is anyone aware of how to manage seperate Mp3 and Aiff libraries so as not to get duplicates in itune match?
    All assistance is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hello mracole,
    I checked my "purchases" and the 7/19/13 purchases don't show up.  However, the earlier versions from usually several years back...the ones that are Matched...often do show up in my Purchases.  I suspect that somehow those REALLY purchased several year old versions were deleted and redownloaded by me so I could change them to the 256 kbps versions under iTunes Match.  They were probably 128 kbps versions originally when purchased.
    Why the earlier versions that were really purchased are now identified as Matched is puzzling.
    Why I now have Purchased versions from 7/19/13 is puzzling too...especially since these versions do NOT show up in my purchases.
    Calling Apple Support if a good idea unless someone can explain this mystery.  I might even take one of my laptops to the Apple store and show a Genius.
    Thank you very much for taking the time to respond, Mr. Luigi

  • Elements Organizer shows different timestamps in JPEG and NEF files of the same photo

    Hi,
    I generally use the option of my Nikon D5000 to store pictures in NEF and JPEG format. While both files show the same time stamp under properties - as one may expect (click on a photo, press right mouse button, last entry of context menu "show properties"), Photoshop Elements Organizer 9 shows different time stamps (when option "details" is chosen in menu "view"). The NEF-file always has a time stap which is exactly two hours later than the time stamp of the corresponding JPEG-file and which - as mentioned - does not correspond to the time stamp stored within the piuctures properties entries. Does anybody has an idea how to change this? Or might this be a bug of the software?
    Thanks

    Yes.  Create a smart album with the criteria Photo is RAW:
    Then you can select all of the photos in the smart album and use the Events ➙ Create Event menu option to move all of the RAW photos into a new event.

  • Dng and tif file with the same name, in the same Lightroom folder

    If I have both a dng and tif file with the same name, in the same Lightroom folder, I can only see and access one of them. Is there a setting I can change in order to see both of them?

    If you can only see one of them, which one can you see?
    Was the DNG and the TIF imported at the same time?
    How are you trying to "access" the files?
    The more details you can provide, the more likely it is that someone will be able to help you.

  • HT1550 I'm having trouble with importing them into iTunes and converting them at the same time. when i hold down option over the files i can't find where its supposed to say create new version. is this if you're in iTunes?

    I'm having trouble with importing them into iTunes and converting them at the same time. when i hold down option over the files i can't find where its supposed to say create new version. is this if you're in iTunes?

    You can't do it in one step. Add to iTunes first, Once the tracks are in iTunes you may convert to a different format.

  • Please help me out -How to share a single indd. file at the same time?

    Is there any any option for two users to work on a single indd. file at the same time. (Just like working on a shared file in Microsoft Excel).
    Note both make changes at the time on different pages.
    To save time...

    Another option, if the file is a large mupltiple page design, is to divide the document into chapters or sections. Save each section as a separate InDesign file and then combine them using a book (.indb). File > New > Book...
    Different users could edit the individual sections or chapters, and then when all is ready to go, the book can be used to package the documents, export to PDF, etc.
    Not very efficient for small documents, but it can make life easier for long documents.

  • How can I unlock numerous files at the same time (i.e. photos) so I can make changes (rotate etc)?

    Im using Lion on a MacBook Pro 15in (just under two years old) and I would like to know if I can lock numerous photo files at the same time so I can make changes to them. At the moment when I select an entire folder to go through and make changes, ie rotate in Preview, I am told with each photo that I have to unlock it. I am going through photos I took of archival material and have nearly 5000 photos to adjust and make changes to. This small step is taking up a lot of time.
    I realise there will probably be a common 'sense' answer to this but it alludes me at the moment so any help would be appreciated.

  • Upload more than one files at the same time

    Hi people!
    I'm having serious problems with struts. I have a list of contacts in which I can upload a file per person. The problem is that I have an unique form and I want to upload all the html:file at the same time. Is there any way of doing that? The problem is that I can't retrieve the values in the actionForm as FormFile[ ] as the other fields.
    I need help urgently!!

    I'm not sure uploading several files at once is possible. I have yet to see anything like that.

  • Bash script: Rotate your wallpaper and SLiM theme at the same time

    EDIT;
    I've decided I should really thank Cerebral for his help with writing this script; this thank you should have been here from the get go.
    After writing:
    #!/usr/bin
    echo "Hello World!"
    I wrote a script to rotate my fluxbox background and SLiM theme at the same time, so I could have a contiuously changing background and still have a smooth transition from SLiM to fluxbox.  (It just looks so much cooler when both have matching backgrounds).  By the time you finish reading it, and configuring your box so it will work, you will probably have decided you could have writtin your own, better script to do the same thing.  But, on the off chance anybody finds use for it, here it is:
    (this should be obvious, but: don't run this script without at least reading the comments)
    #!/bin/bash
    #this is a script to rotate a number of backgrounds
    #to be shared by the fluxbox desktop and SLiM login manager.
    #it is the first meaningful script I've written. It may be
    #freely distributed and used with the understanding that you are
    #using it at your own risk.
    #Before running this script you need to check that your SLiM
    #themes are installed to the path /usr/share/slim/themes, which
    #is the defulat path for installation in Arch. Here are some
    #other things you need to set up:
    #1. create (if you don't have it) the directory /usr/share/wallpapers
    #2. create a wallpaper in /usr/share/wallpapers called 'dummy' by copying
    #you current wallpaper to that filename
    #3. set your window manager to display the wallpaper 'dummy', this works fine
    #using a style overlay in fluxbox, I haven't tested it with any other window
    #manager, but I don't see why this would cause a problem.
    #4. create a directory /usr/share/slim/themes/current, you can copy one of
    #your slim themes into that directory if you want. (this will prevent you
    #from seeing some error messages the first time you run the script)
    #5. define the names of the themes you want to rotate, in order for this
    #script to work, you must name them "themeNUMBER", where NUMBER is replaced
    #by an integer. Your themes must be numbered consecutively, start with 1
    # that is:
    #theme1 , theme2, theme3, etc. , theme305
    #If you don't number consecutively, this script will not run properly. You
    #must also define the total number of themes as "rotate_number"
    #6. Check if the script runs, if it does, you should change /etc/slim.conf to
    #use the theme "current"
    #7. This theme will now rotate your SLiM theme and wallpaper in such a way as
    #to make them match each other. Note that SLiM will not let you change themes
    #"on the fly", (as of July 6, 2008), so changes will not be apparent unless you
    #restart SLiM. I run the script before I run slim in my etc/rc.local local
    #script, so each time I reboot I get different wallpaper / login background.

    oh i forgot to mention... its rotating while moving. i.e. is doesn't have to stop rotate and then continue back to origin.
