See used fonts without opening ai doc

hi,
is there a way to see what fonts are used in an illustrator document without opening it.
maybe an applescript or something, but it should not be a third party app or plug-in.
by the way: it should work with mac os x
thanks

In Illustrator CS 6.1 and above you can Package the Illustrator file, which creates report with all the fonts used in document, your client can open just the report txt file to see the fonts used.

Perhaps you missed these key parts of the inquiry.

The package feature that you mentioned requires them to have Illustrator and actually open each document in order to create, utilize and see such a report.

Using ExcelExport without opening the dialog box to select all the channels in portal by default

Hi,
I need to export all the data in the Data portal to an Excel file without opening the Dialog for channels selection. In the ExcelExport command, it asks for a Config (*.stp) file as one of the parameters. Is there need to create a new stp file for selecting all channels or can the same file (Example_ASC.stp ) be reused ? If so, do I need to change any content in the system stp file ?
Thanks

Using filestream without opening the file

Sir
I am trying to save a file to the SQL database using the following code. The code runs successfully but the file opens up during the process.
Dim fs As FileStream
fs = New FileStream(strFileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
Dim docByte As Byte() = New Byte(fs.Length - 1) {}
fs.Read(docByte, 0, System.Convert.ToInt32(fs.Length))
fs.Close()

I'll also suggest that you read the file in inside a Using block and you check to be sure that the file's size isn't too large:
Using fs As New IO.FileStream(filePath, _
IO.FileMode.Open, _
IO.FileAccess.Read)
If fs.Length <= Int32.MaxValue Then
Dim bytes(CInt(fs.Length - 1)) As Byte
fs.Read(bytes, 0, CInt(fs.Length))
' Now do something with the byte array
' just read in. For this example I'll
' just write the file to my desk
Dim desktop As String = _
My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop
Dim fileName As String = _
IO.Path.GetFileName(filePath)
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllBytes(IO.Path.Combine(desktop, _
fileName), _
bytes, _
False)
Stop
End If
End Using
The test is done because of this: The .Length property of a FileStream is a type Long but the .Length
property of an array is an integer.
Still lost in code, just at a little higher level.

Do you mean the Bookmarks Menu button on the Navigation Toolbar?
You only see that button if the menu bar is hidden.

Deleted a font and can't open my docs!

Hi Everyone
No sooner than it looks as though all is well, when...I had trouble with the "missing font' dialog box appearing and discussed it on this forum. Finally made a new template and continued my document in "XXXPart 2" - ie a new document. There had been a problem with running the MS Office test drive as it affected the fonts I was using in Pages for some reason.
Today I found that the main offending font was languishing in the trash and I deleted it with the TrashLockedFiles app. Of course, a message had said the file was in use, but I assumed that Pages (which should have been using the original version of Arial as I had spent some time trying to set that up) would, if all else failed, substitute another font. But Pages just quits when I select 'open recent file' - and it has done it a few times now. It will open a Pages template but not one of mine (which uses Arial font.)
What should I do now? I cannot open two files one of which will take days to re-write, while the original would take months!
Hope you can help
Ruth

Just to say that after trying many different things, my file and system are operating properly again. I trashed the iWork plist file, removed and restored iWork (and the update), repaired permissions, all the while testing to see if anything had changed. Finally, I used Pacifist to extract and install the Arial font from the MS Office test run, and with FontBook, rather than Linotype FontExplorer, (because it is less complicated to use and with the Info page one can really see which fonts are being turned on and off), and after a number of restarts, everything ran as normal again.
In the meantime, my files worked perfectly well (though Pages runs slowly) under Panther on the iBook, where the troublesome font had never been installed or removed. It is unclear to me why this should have happened. It is as though this font had taken over my system and despite being turned off and removed to the trash, continued to dominate! Perhaps I should have remembered to restart a bit earlier — but I am not at all used to quits and crashes under Panther and find this behaviour really unexpected.
Anyway, I don't suppose I would have known how to go about restoration activities without all the previous help I have received on this Forum, so many thanks to all the unsung heroes who put so much effort into it.

How to open document from mac when using windows without transferring the file?

How can i open a document from mac when i am using windows without transferring it?

depend on the document program more then anything else really
when ever I open a doc with word it make a history for undo and redo action file in the same dir
with bootcamp you only have read not write access to the osx partition so it would fail to be able to create that file
but if you can get word or whatever program you use to open the file not to place a temp file in the same dir
or use a program which did not make any type of temp file or used a program where the temp file would be located elsewhere where you decide it would work file

Is there a way to see what font was used originally, after the type has been converted to outlines?

Hi all, I would really like to know if there is any way to find out what font was used originally in an Illustrator document, after the type has been converted to outlines? The reason for this is I need to update some wording in a couple of old logos I had made and I have NO idea what font I had used...for the life of me I just cannot remember. Because this was so urgent for one of my projects I had to do a search online via "WhatTheFont" to see what font it could be (which I then didn't seem to have in my library!), and repurchase it. I am 99% sure I HAVE the font - or something VERY close - but under a different name.
Normally I keep a much better record of fonts used but there have been times occasionally in the past when I have done something in a hurry and changed the type to outlines without keeping the original, or keeping detailed notes at least. The fact that I did NOT keep notes on a few projects I have done in the past has made me want to kick myself because now I need to revisit one of those again..grrr:)
Can anyone offer any advice? I appreciate your help as always:)
best,
Christine

I have been able to open PDF docs using C# API Process.Start("Full_path_To_the_PDF_File") in windows 7 or windows 8 with all previous versions of Acrobat32 reader.

I have been able to open PDF docs using C# API Process.Start("Full_path_To_the_PDF_File") in windows 7 or windows 8 with all previous versions of Acrobat32 reader.
However, with v11.0, the same command, in Windows 8, it does not open the PDF document. I can see the Acrobat(32) started in the task manager, but the document does open. Not sure how I can troble shoot this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

I haven't use the C# API but I imagine it is the same as C ShellExecute. Which in turn is the same thing (in essence) as double clicking in Windows Explorer.
So... does Adobe Reader run normally on this machine?
And does it start and open if you double click on a PDF file?

I need Numbers 3.0 to open icloud docs; how can I download without losing Numbers 2.3?

VR,
Your Numbers 2 app will still be functional if you download the new Numbers 3 app. If you purchased Numbers 2 prior to the Mac App Store, your iWork '09 apps are in Applications > iWork. If you purchased your Numbers 2 app from the Mac App Store, Numbers 2 will be in Applications, no sub folder. But, if you "Upgrade" to Numbers 3, Numbers 2 will be moved into an iWork subfolder within Applications. You will be able to manually choose which one you want to use, but Numbers 3 will be the default.

Illustrator substitutes fonts when opening document without warning.

Have an annoying issue hopefully somebody can shed light on. When we activate fonts using font management software, work on a file, close the file and then deactivate those fonts, if we open the file again without turning the fonts back on, the file will load without giving a missing font warning and substitute the fonts to myriad. In a few test, the fonts were still open, and no substitution occured, BUT, random blocks of type were inexplicably empty. When the file gets reopened with fonts reactivated or if Ilustrator is restarted, everything behaves normally.
This was tested on os 10.5.8 on multiple machines using Illust CS4, Suitcase, Universal Type Server and Font Explorer X. Test were made both before and after using Font Nuke to clean font caches to the same effect.
Anybody have any idea how to prevent this behavior? I don't want Illustrator to substitute fonts without warning me that fonts are missing....ever. If it must, can I have it substitute to wingdings or chinese characters or something that will be a bit more obvious than myriad?

Yeah, this is very big and money cost problem, happened to me a few times and couldnt find and answer. To try to prevent this I did this two posible options, but is not perfect...
1. There is an option under the page setup uncheked by default named "Highlight substitude fonts" so you have to check this option for every document you have and make, what a nightmare, this must be checked by defalut, please adobe team...!
2. Also yo can try to change the default font following this steps, another nightmare because not always work
To change the default font for Illustrator CS4
Choose File > Open and go to Documents and Settings/User/Application Data/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings/New Document Profiles (Windows) or to Users/User/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS4/New Document Profiles (Mac OS).
Open one of the default document profile template files (Basic CMYK, Basic RGB, Mobile and Devices, Print, Video and Film, or Web, depending on which type of document you intend to use).
Choose Window > Type > Character Styles.
Select the Normal Character Style and choose Character Style Options from the palette menu.
Select Basic Character Formats and choose the desired font from the Font Family menu.
Click OK, and then choose File > Save and close the file.
Restart Illustrator
Give it a try and tell us..

How do I delete emails without having to open them please? I have a Mac Air. Using my previous PC I could delete emails without opening but I don't seem to be getting this option on the Mac. Thanks.

I am new to using a Mac. How do I delete emails without opening them? Using my old PC it was possible to delete suspect emails prior to opening them, however I don't seem to be given this option. If I click on a message it opens straight away and I am worried about opening emails when I don't know where they are from. Thanks

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

Hi,
I checked your account,your Export PDF subscription is in 'Pending' status.
Once it gets confirmed you will be able to use it.
Please let us know if you require further assistance.
