Save Only The Artboard area into AI file

Hi,
Is it possible to save only the ARTBoard Area into a new AI document by using JSX.
for example in the above image I want only the yellow marked drawing ,that is inside the artboard area, to be save in the new document [AI file] by using JSX.
Thanks

What you see in the document is what you will see when you save it.
I recommend saving as a psd then if you really want to you can merge the layer or flatten (merge will leave the background transparent whereas flatten will give you a white backgound if there are any transparent areas in the document)
(ctrl-e or ctrl-shift-e {windows} cmd-e or cmd-shift-e {Mac})
Or you can leave the layers alone and create a composite (A new merge layer on top of the other layers)
(ctrl-shift-alt-e {windows} cmd-shift-opt-e {mac})
That said not all formats support layers or transparency. An example of that is jpg when you save with that format you will get a single flattened layer that will have a white background anyplace there was transparency.
To recap:
1)Always work on a duplicate file when doing destructive work so you can return later and undo what you did.
2)When ever possible use non-destructive edits such as a composite layer.
3)If you require layers or transparency it is required that you use a format that supports them like tiff or psd
4)Use jpg as a file for sharing and never as the master file. Because the format is destructive and throws out data each time you open and save it.

Save only the artboard

I have large text that extends out past the artboart boundaries. why in gods name anyone would want to include this when they save is beyond me, kind of defeats the purpose of the artboard. also, there is no easily identifiable way to exclude the work outside the artboard when exporting (jpeg). i tried to just find a selection tool (rectangle) like in photoshop so i could select the artboard and then maybe select the inverse and cut. but thats a no-go. so, how do i do it?
thanks.

McLrn,
The area outside the Artboard is part of the Work Area and may contain artwork that needs to be kept.
Depending on the version, you may do different things to limit what is Exported.
In the newest version(s), I believe the Artboard is used to crop for export.
In older versions, you may create a rectangle where you want the image borders and Object>Crop Area (or Crop Marks)>Make.

Save only active artboard as PDF

Hi all,
I have a CS4 .ai file with about 90 artboards. I would like to be able to save only the current artboard and related layers and artwork as a uniquely named PDF. So far I have only been able to save a PDF with all artboards enumerated as different files, save the current artboard as an .eps but neither fit my need. It would be great if I could get some help on the appropriate applescript to perform this task as well.
Thanks!
Tom

I do understand that when you do a 'Save as' and select PDF that it auto-checks and disables the 'Use Artboards' box and then allows you to save all or a range of artboards. However, since I am trying to build this into a script I was hoping for a way to save just the active artboard without having to know the artboard number. In contrast is there a way that I can do the following in a applescript:
- fetch the number of the current artboard
- save as pdf with a range of 'insert that number here'
thanks!

Save only the bounding box region of image as png?

Hi,
I'd like to save each layer's item as png.
If possible, i'd like save only the bounding box of image(of an item), and the corresponding bounding box's origin/size info(relative to artboard's origin) somewhere as text file.
To do this,
I need to be able to get a bounding box of an item.
and possibly artboard's origin. (because I'm not sure where a bounding box's coordinate's origin is).
Thank you in advance

If I understand you correctly you have one table with a bunch of yes/no values (SA, SC, SS, etc.). Then for each record in that table you want to output a string listing all the fields from the first table which = yes (i.e are checked). Perhaps
the following code would get you started:
Sub JimNeal()
Dim strProcedure_Value As String
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim rstOut As DAO.Recordset
Set rst = DBEngine(0)(0).OpenRecordset("TableWithCheckboxes")
Set rstOut = DBEngine(0)(0).OpenRecordset("OutputTable")
Do Until rst.EOF
strProcedure_Value = ""
If rst!SA Then strProcedure_Value = strProcedure_Value & "Surface Area,"
If rst!SC Then strProcedure_Value = strProcedure_Value & "Surface Contour,"
'... etc
If rst!SS Then strProcedure_Value = strProcedure_Value & "Steep Slope,"
rst.MoveNext
' Strip off final comma
If Len(strProcedure_Value) > 0 Then strProcedure_Value = Left(strProcedure_Value, Len(strProcedure_Value) - 1)
' Output the string to your output table
rstOut.AddNew
rstOut!Procedure_Value = strProcedure_Value
rstOut.Update
Loop
rst.Close
rstOut.Close
Set rst = Nothing
Set rstOut = Nothing
End Sub

No Microsoft files listed in the settings "convert into PDF files"

Hi, I wanted to convert different Microsoft Office files, but it doesn't work. There are no Microsoft files listed in the settings "convert into PDF files". I had the trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on a MAC in Windows that runs trough Parallels. Hope somebody can help. Thx

Hi Rahul,
many thanks for your suggestion.
Yes, Parallels is a virtual machine on the top of MAC and I can see all files in the Windows Explorer. Also the ones I created on the MAC top with the Microsoft Office Software Word or Excel for MAC as well the ones I created earlier on a Windows PC.
Unfortunately there is no possibility to convert files into PDF format with a click on the right mouse. And Adobe also doesn't open Word documents because it doesn't support this format.
But nonetheless it wouldn't be a solution that I prefer to convert in adavance every single file in a PDF format. I need to create a PDF package from different formats.
I assume this issue has to do something with MAC or Parallels, because this function of the Adobe Versions Acrobat 8 Pro and XI Pro work well on a Windows PC. I just don't understand why there are no Microsoft Office file formats listed in the Adobe settings. This settings also can't be changed. I tried to find out but couldn't find any hint for this problem thus I'm a bit at a loss... Maybe you have another idea?

After this error, the code can't be run again and i had to copy the studio1.txt again to let the code run 1 more time.
I hope i can get any solution at here and this will be very useful for me.

Does adobe cloud synchronize only the modifications of a pdf file?

I have a large PDF file in adobe cloud on my iPad. Whenever I annotate it, will the entire file be reuploaded (consuming lots of bandwidth) or only the annotations are (consuming very minimal bandwidth). Please let me know!

I was able to sync the annotations I made on an iPad to the PC just a few minutes ago. Though the annotations were not visible when I viewed the file on the browser in acrobat.com, when downloaded, it had the annotations, indicating that syncing does occur. Could you please check again!
I will be much grateful if you have an answer to my question! Thank you!

How can I extract only the audio as an aiff file?

Using a Sony DSC-N2 Cybershot Camera I recorded video that was saved as “MOV01606.MPG”. The video plays back with sound in Quicktime Pro and iTunes but how can I extract only the audio as an aiff file?

Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert your .mpg files to QuickTime formats.
QuickTime can't extract audio from muxed file formats.

I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date. Next, I did a sync with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence. Any idea how to put the photos back into date files?

I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date. I later sync my ipad with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence. Any idea how to put the photos back into date files other than reloading all of them from camera?

What version of iPhoto?
Select one and rotate it. Then rotate it back. Does that make it appear?
A much better work flow is the keep the photos after importing. Check the success the import, wait for at least one successful backup cycle then use you camera's format command to reformat the card
