Script to create a template layer & then add a layer? Possible?
Hello, I am just starting to learn javascript and would like to know if it's possible to do the following:
Open multiple .tiff or .jpg files into illustrator
On each file's layer 1, template = yes (it's a check box) and click OK
Add new layer 2, click OK
Save file
Close file
I tried creating an action to do this, but it does not work. I am doing some illustrator and photoshop work which has quite a lot of repetitive tasks & I know a script would be a huge timesaver. This is just one of several scripts that I'd like to learn how to write. Thanks very much for reading this post and for your help. Best, Nancy
That's odd. According to the JS Object Model Viewer, you can change about everything in the standard Layer Option dialog using a script (print, preview, locked, visible, and even "dimPlacedImages") but not ... "template".

How do I create a signature,and then add it to an e ailed document?
How can I create a signature and then use it to sign a document in e mail?
Not sure I understand the question correctly.
Open Mail and click on Preferences under the Mail menu. Click on the Signatures icon in the toolbar. You can set up your signatures there.
But if you are talking about adding a written signature, then you cannot do that within Mail. You would need to scan in an image of your written signature then manually add it to a signature you create in mail as a graphic image. That seems to work. -
How can I create a template of a Data Flow Task in SSDT?
The majority of the Data Flow Tasks that I build have the same five elements in them (OLE DB Source, Conditional Split, Derived Column, Data Conversion, and OLE DB Destination). I'd love to have a template of a Data Flow Task which already contains
these elements. Is that possible for me to create, and how do I do it?
I'm currently on SSDT 11.1, with Visual Studio Pro 2012.Hi Tim_Dorenkamp,
If I understand correctly, you want to create a custom task, then add it as template of a Data Flow Task in SSIS Toolbox. So that you can use it in every packages.
Just as Samir suggested, we can developing a Custom Task that create a class that inherits from the Task base class, apply the DtsTaskAttribute attribute to your new class, and override the important methods and properties of the base class, including the
Execute method. The sample of create a custom task is for your reference:
http://microsoft-ssis.blogspot.com/2013/06/create-your-own-custom-task.html
Besides, as to your requirement, we can simply create a template package that including this Data Flow Task, then use this template to create new packages. If we want to use the Data Flow Task in an existing package, we can add a new package with the template,
then copy the Data Flow Task from the new package and paste it to the existing package. For more details about create a template package in SSIS, please refer to the following thread:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/b0747467-daff-4fc8-9f81-20d68b38e5ee/change-default-for-package-protection-level?forum=sqlintegratio
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

While creating master item, can I add a check to copy from template
Hi,
While creating master items, can I add a check on copy template on the item to ensure item is created using some template?
This will ensure many attributes gets proper value. If template is not copied, in later phases user faces problem with few attributes not being set.Regarding the final PDF you produce with the Print button; when the user hits the Print button the usual printer dialogue box is launched and s/he can select which pages he wants to print and the number of copies. I think this is what you said this is what your customer wants.
Note: when you add the Print button, within the Acrobat Forms facility, you then go to Button Properties dialogue box and select Actions, select the trigger (i.e. On Mouse Down); Add an Execute a menu Item, click on Add and select File > Print from the drop-down list. A bit complicated to explain here, but easier enough if you have a play around with it. Acrobat Forms are a wonderful facility – well worth exploring the many things you can do with them. Especially if you set up your document first in InDesign!

I built an ad using layers saved it and then converted it to a jpeg. Now when I go into elements 11 to do anything else it will not allow to copy and paste to create a new layer. What am I missing?
You know that you lost the layers when you saved it as a jpeg, right? But you're saying you can't add layers to the jpeg now when it's open in the editor? Go to Image>mode and be sure it's RGB, for starters. Are all the commands in the Layer menu grayed out?

An events client I'm working for have asked me to create a template for badges. Rather than ask the printers to insert the names and companies of the individuals present at the event though, they want me to create all of the pdf files for (200+) people!
I have an excel sheet of the people that will be present. My question is: is there a way to automate this? to define editable areas in a template and run some sort of batch processing script?
Thanks!This would be a perfect job for Data Merge in InDesign. You can place your AI design into InDesign (minus the text fields), and then easily create a merge.

Trying to create user template and login script
I'm trying to setup a machine at work that's got an Admin account and a Student account.
I want the student account to have limited privileges and to reset the desktop, dock etc. (user template) upon login.
I've got a document here that was created by a former employee that states the following:
Create a user template: (do this from the admin account)
*Sudo ditto /Users/Student /Student/Library/User\ Template/Student.lproj*
Upon entering this into terminal I was getting a message saying the real path was wrong, and now nothing happens when I enter the above.
Ok, so in: "system/Library/User Template" there is a folder called Student.lproj
Within Student.lproj there are no files.
Should Student.lproj even exist there with no contents for this to work? When Terminal creates a template, does it copy this information into Student.lproj or does it create a new folder for the template?
The account is hanging for quite a while on Login and logout now as well.
Once I create this template for the Student account, I need to create a login script that will restore the template upon login of the Student account.
please helpIt's /System/Library/... not /Student/Library
Also, if you want it to reset at log out, just have them log in as Guest.

I have a custom template. When I edit it and try to save it asks me to name it and then I end up with an additional custom template. How do I edit the template and save the changes without creating another template?
Hi Atrec,
If you don't need your old custom template, save your changes with the same template name. It will tell you that this template exists and will ask you Replace? Say yes (if you do want to replace the old with the new!)
To delete unwanted templates, go to Finder > Menu > Go and press the option key. Your Library will show in the Go Menu. Navigate to Library > Application Support > iWork > Numbers > Templates > My Templates.
Delete any unwanted template by dragging it to the Trash or click on it then command-delete.
Having gone to all that trouble to find My Templates folder, right click (or control click) on it and Make Alias. Drag the Alias to any convenient place for a quick way to get back to that folder.

I want to create a 6X9 book template and then copy my 81/2 x 11 copy into it.
I want to create a 6X9 book template and then copy my 81/2 x 11 copy into it. Thanks
select the book in the source pane on the left and duplicate it (command-D) and then click on the themes button and select the new size/style/theme -- closely inspect the book to be sure it is still correct (text may reflow due to size changes as may photo arrangement) - preview (
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it. ) and order if it is what you want

Sharing script to create slideshow
Thanks for David Torno I have been able to hack together a basic slideshow script. There's still a lot more that could be done with it, but I wanted to share it so that others may be able to benefit.
Essentially, it asks for a folder location where your photos are stored, reads them in, creates a comp for each photo, resizing them and creating a border around them, adds all of the photo comps to a master comp, then sequences them, adds in some fades and slightly random placement.
Like I said, fairly basic. But quite the learning experience.
Yes, there are templates available for slideshows, but none that I found that I could just add photos to and say "Display these with a border and random placement on the screen, fading in and out." All the ones I found required replacing placeholders, or some sort of manual changes to each photo. And they were generally limited to 10 to 30 images. This script, theoretically, should be able to handle hundreds of images easily.
Next steps are to add movement to the photos (sliding across the screen as they fade in and out) and add a music track from a file (or files) selected during photo import.
Enjoy!
And thanks again to David Torno, plus anyone else who's script examples I may have borrowed ideas from.

A Script to Find and Replace Layer Names
Are there any scripts to find and replace layer names?
There is an excellent script available for Photoshop which allows you to not only replace words in layer names, but also insert words as Prefixes, Suffixes and Sequential Numbers.
The illustrator version of this script only allows sequential numbering: It doesn't offer find and replacing of words.
Ideally, it would be great if there was something that could do multiple find and replaces in one go:
(e.g.
You have layers like this Car, Dog, Bat
You enter: car(Option1), dog(Option2), Bat(Option3)
Your layers then become: Option1, Option2, Option3).big_smile, that's a very good start! Step 1 of Learning How To Script is indeed, adjusting an existing simple script to make it do more complicated things. (And usually then "break something", which is also a required part of the process.)
You are correct in your observation this is repetitive stuff. For one or two different items that wouldn't be a problem, but in longer lists you soon get lost.
The usual way of working with find-change lists is to build an array:
var layernames = [
[ 'FHairBowlBoy *Hair', 'Hairboy1' ],
[ 'FHairCurlyafroBoy *Hair', 'Hairboy2' ],
[ 'FHairSpikyBoy *Hair', 'Hairboy3' ],
The general idea is to loop over all names, check if the current layer name is "layernames[i][0]" (the left column) and if so, rename it to "layernames[i][1]" (the right column). If you know how to write a loop in Javascript, then you can implement this right away.
However ..
A more advanced way to do this doesn't even need loop to over all layernames -- instead you can immediately "get" the correct name per layer! It's magic! Almost!
The trick is to use a Javascript object instead of an array. Javascript objects are nothing special; Illustrator's 'layers' is an array of objects, and each object "layer" has a property "name", whose value you can read and set. What I do here is create a new object, where the "name" part is the original layer name and its value is the new layer name. All you need to check for per each layer is if there is a property 'object.originalLayerName', and if so, assign its value to that layer name.
This looks a bit like the array above, except that (1) you use {..} instead of [..] to create an object, and (2) you add "name:value" pairs instead of "value" only (actually, the 'name' of a value in an array is simply its number).
So this is what it looks like:
// JavaScript Document
var doc = app.activeDocument;
// name indexed object
var layernames = {
'FHairBowlBoy *Hair':'Hairboy1',
'FHairCurlyafroBoy *Hair':'Hairboy2',
'FHairSpikyBoy *Hair':'Hairboy3'
// loop through all layers
for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i++)
//Set up Variable to access layer name
var currentLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[i];
if (layernames[currentLayer.name])
currentLayer.name = layernames[currentLayer.name];
Enjoy! -
Customized scripts within the Deployment Template environment
Hello,
In the endeca documentation I see that "The sample scripts provided with the Deployment Template control the Endeca operational tasks through the EAC. You can use these scripts, or create custom scripts based on them. The scripts typically run such processes as routine baseline and partial updates. You can also add specific scripts that run before the Dgraph is stopped or after it is started."
I would like to call a .bat before the DGraph is stopped or after it is started, but I can't find where.
I think it's in the AppConfig.xml file, right? Could you give me an example?
Thanks,
Stephane1st Declare your action. Here is a sample that manually calls the set data ready flag...
<shell id="SetDataReadyFlag" host-id="ITL_Local" >
<command>${ENDECA_PROJECT_DIR}\control\set_baseline_data_ready_flag.bat</command>
</shell>
then in your custom tasks (or even the tasks that are part of the deploy template), you can call it....
<script id="BaselineBuildDataFiles">
<bean-shell-script>
<![CDATA[
// Get data
// Verify Data
// Set endeca data ready flag
SetDataReadyFlag.run();
]]>
</bean-shell-script>
</script>
The only thing I don't think you can do is get a response from the external call that you make. In that case I usually have my .bat, .exe, etc Write out a result file and then I read and parse the results from that.
Hope this helps -
How can I create a new layer that is a gradient?
Hi, i'm very new to photoshop scripting and am having some trouble.
I'm looking for a way to take an image i have and set it to have a gradient opacity as it approaches the middle, my thought on how to do that was to just create a layer that is a gradient from top left to bottom right and then attach that as a vector mask.
Any ideas on how I could create this gradient layer in script, or a better method of doing this opacity gradient?
Thanks in advance,
LevianthYou could try this:
// 2012, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var theLayer = myDocument.activeLayer;
if (theLayer.isBackgroundLayer == true) {theLayer.isBackgroundLayer = false};
// create gradient layer;
