Setting artboard size in an action CS4

I'm converting large numbers of emf files to svg files.
In CS3 I can do this simply by recording, open, save as , close.
In CS3 it doesn't take account of the artbord in this process so It doesn't matter what the size of the original graphic is, the SVG always matches.
When I do exactly the same thing in CS4 the emf open on a letter size artboard, then the saved SVG is letter size not the original size.
The action wont save the steps of going to the artbord menu and setting as 'fit artboard to artword bounds'
Does anyone know how to ignore the artboard when saving as, or setting the artboard size to fit as default?
Thanks

Thanks for the steps, but when I follow your steps by hand it works, but they don't  work in an action.
In the action  list recorced I see
open
select all
copy
paste in front
[blank line]
save as
close
and when I try and run this saved action, whne it get to the blank line I get a message box pop up saying 'To create Artboard, select non-rotated rectangles that are not clipping marsks.'
And since the action list doesn't list each action recorded I ca nt see what is happening.
Any ideas?
I have attched my .aia file with my original action in and the new one suggested.

  • What is the maximum Artboard size of CS4?

    We currently use CS3 in our Art Dept at the sign company I work for. Sometimes designing/layout for some projects can be a pain when they go beyond the max artboard size constraint in CS3. This is especially true in my dept which does all the large format digital printing. I find myself having to switch back and forth between some of my sign software, which has almost limitless area for design and layout. Not that we can't work in scales but life would be so much easier if we could do things in full scale. Now to the point, does CS4 have larger artboard size than CS3?

    Larry, I don't think you know what is meant by "working in scales" or otherwise you would not have made such an odd comment. I don't really feel like defining it here, but suffice to say that many things do not scale linearly in a program like AI that is not designed for anything other than 1:1 layout. Many effects don't scale, for example, even if you check the box. Then there is problem of having to remember to do a mathematical action on every line weight, width, height, font size, font leading, font spacing and so on. Fonts do not always scale linearly either; often the text flow changes. You only have a to miss one math step to have a ruined output. The printer has to take the extra step, too, on the production side. With a program that allows working in scale you just draw at full size and all of that is taken care of automatically.

  • Windows CS3 vs CS4: Setting Artboard Cropmarks for Exporting

    After doing a bunch of research trying to find a fix, I have only discovered that there are thousands of other people posting on various forums regarding this same issue, so I think a detailed and complete explanation or instruction on how to do this would be very helpful and appreciated. Other than in the Save For Web & Devices settings, there seems to be no options to Export using cropmarks, or export a file to be properly cropped to the Artboard dimensions. Again, this function is possible when Saving for Web, but not with a normal high resolution Export as a flattened image such as a jpg.
    I am currently designing some projects in Illustrator CS4, using Windows XP. I am NOT using multiple artboards, only one. On previous versions of Illustrator, users could simply Export> an image as a JPG, and the image would be appropriately cropped to either the Document size, or predetermined Crop Area marks which were easily chosen in the Object dropdown menu.
    Since this ever useful Object > set cropmarks function was removed with the advent of CS4, I am unable to Export an Illustrator file as a high-res JPG or TIF using the supposed Artboard as the cropmarks.
    In other words, when trying to export my project, the saved/exported image includes all content placed in the document, even material that extends beyond the Document size or Artboard size. Why is this? What am I overlooking? Thanks in advance for any help or insight.

    Hey guys, been working on this all day.
    I just bought Win7 Pro and things are running ok under the XP Mode.  I still have a couple of issues with NEF files from my D90 vs ACR4.6.
    I can't get that to load.  I'm tired of looking at this computer, so that may be a part of it.
    In any event, here's what I've learned that has worked.
    My system is new, delivering with Win7Home.
    I went to BestBuy and bought a Windows Anytime Upgrade for Home>Professional  $89.00
    Inside the "case" is a numerical code to unlock the upgrade.
    Follow the instructions, and you're off and running.
    Here's a couple of links to guide you through the steps.  READ them THOROUGHLY.  I'm a button pusher, so god forbid I read it closely.  Would have saved me a few hours.  LOL
    Things to pay attention to:  Virtual PC and testing to see if you can run XP, and then setting the BIOS to enable Hardware Virtualization.

  • Script for making an object the artboard size.

    I am looking for some help on trying to make an object the exact size of the artboard.  This is something I do on a daily basis for several different reasons and it would be very helpful if this can happen automatically for whatever size the artboard may be.  As I understand it the only way is with a script but I have no experience with making illustrator scripts, im definately no programmer.  I have set up quickkeys in the past to copy from the artboard inputs when you are on the artboard tool but these round to the nearest .01 and this is not accurate enough for what I am working with.  Also if I do this with multiple pages open illustrator is very slow to respond to the artboard tool.  If anyone has any idea where to start or has seen other such scripts I would greatly appreciate it.  Thank you.
    Below is a script that I saw on here that I believe may contain what I need but now knowing programming I have no idea where to start on editing.  All I need is the part where an object is placed on the artboard that is the exact same size as the artboard.  If anyone can advise on editing I would greatly apprecaite it.

    Thanks to CarlosCanto for the original script, it was very a very helpful starting point to optimize one of our workflows. We customized it a bit to maintain the aspect ratio (just takes the greater of the width / height and scales proportionally to the artboard size), and also center up the object in the middle of the artboard once scaling is complete. I hope it is helpful to someone:

    //  script.elegant = false;

            var doch = idoc.height;

  • Maximum Artboard Size (Not Canvas Size)

    Hi,
    I read that maximum canvas size is 227in but Illustrator CC on both mac and windows and several different computer does not allow me to exceed 120in x 120 in. I can change my artboard size manually (shift+o) and drag the corners to 227inches but the number on the right upper corner is stuck on 120 inches. So what is the maximum size that I can work in Illustrator? If it is 227in why can't I make an Artboard bigger than 120 inches? And to avoid more confusion what is the canvas and what is the art board?
    Thank you

    mus,
    When things become seriously weird, as in your case, it may be worth trying the list (you have been through 1) and 2) already, and I would suggest your skipping 3) and 5), which leaves 4) and 6).
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • File size comparisons, InDesign CS3, CS4 and CS5?

    Hi, all.
    It seems there was a trend for several major releases where each time Adobe released a new version of InDesign and InCopy, average file sizes grew by 20% or so from the old release to the new release, at least back in the older CS days. Has this trend continued, such that file sizes in CS4 are substantially larger than file sizes from CS3, and CS5 files are substantially larger than those from CS4?
    Adobe, of course, wants to keep writing functionality that will keep the user community coming back to buy in to upgrades. The added functionality sometimes comes at a cost beyond the price tag. If file sizes are larger in a newer version, then page saves over a network or to a database are likely to be slower, and user productivity takes a hit while users are waiting for files to be saved.
    Has anyone done any testing to build the "same" page in multiple versions of InDesign to understand what the effect is on the file sizes? I'm specifically interested in the file sizes between InDesign CS3, CS4 and CS5. To be meaningful, the test page would have to be at least moderately complex, with a couple of photos, multiple text elements and so forth. By "same," the page wouldn't take advantage of new functionality in newer versions but would be saved as a native page of the current version, though the file sizes may be bloated by the new functionality like it or not.
    If you've done any testing along these lines, I'd like to hear more about it.
    Thanks.
       Mark

    The overall structure of ID's files have been exactly the same for -- as far as I can see back -- CS. No change at all, in there.
    There have been significant additions to the 'global' spaces; stuff like InCopy user data, table styles, object styles, and cross references. Each of these add a major chunk of data to each file, whether you use it or not, plus a few bytes per object (again, whether you use them or not -- ID also needs to know where you did not use them, that's why). I think these might be the main source of 'global' file size increase (a single object style in one of my files, for example, eats up a healthy chunk of 11,482 bytes).
    For the rest, all new stuff like 'span columns' is a handful of bytes per paragraph style. Tracking changes may very well double the size of text runs -- but 1 character takes up 1 byte of storage (plus perhaps some overhead of indicating its 'tracking' status). Any single measurement unit always uses 8 bytes at least (for example, the left inset for a column span -- even if it's not used, or set to 0pt).
    I think we're talking about a couple of K's here (oh -- perhaps a max of a hundred or so), in a file format that has been designed around the concept of "disk pages", each 4K big, meaning that sometimes adding one single character to a text box increases the file size by 4 K.
    Your idea of comparing the size of a file created in CS3 against the same saved as CS4 and as CS5 is certainly feasible -- I might try it some time, just to confirm it's purely the extra 'new objects' data that accounts for the size increase and to confirm my guesstimates of the number of Ks involved.

  • Default artboard size problem

    In Illustrator CS2 I am converting CAD files (typically dxf's) to EPS's scaled to fit on an 8.5" x 11" artboard. I generate these files in AutoCAD and lately, the DXF's will open in Illy by default on a 22" x 64" artboard. I use this size occasionally for a different project but I need this artboard size to default to letter portrait instead. I've checked the AutoCAD layout manager and it is also set to letter size. Somehow when either exporting or saving a 22" x 64" file, I managed to force Illy to change it's default artboard size. I have double checked my startup files and the document set up is 8.5" x 11". My page size is also set to letter and I have not edited my PPD file. New AI files still open to my start up file's specifications. I'm guessing this is either a glaringly obvious oversight on my part or a glich. Any ideas? Much appreciated.

    Chris,

  • JS - Center Selection to Artboard / New Document with certain Artboard size

    TL;DR:
    how do I center my current selection to the artboard?
    just like hitting the "horizontal align-center" and "vertical align-center" buttons.
    Hi,
    I've been searching for the last two hours and before my head hits the keyboard I wanted to ask you for help.
    What I'm struggling with:
    in my init function i create a new document and then copy all layers from the previous document step by step to the new document and then save it as SVG.
    // Init
    (function(){
              destination = Folder.selectDialog('Select folder for SVG files.', docPath);
              if (!destination){return;}
              holderDoc = app.documents.add();
              stepThroughAndExportLayers(docRef.layers);
    my problem is that holderDoc = app.documents.add(); always creates a document that is not the same size as my initial document where the layers get copied from.
    so I want the exact same artboard size as in my initial document.
    I'm fine with either doing it as fixed values or taking directly the values of the inital doc.
    i tried this in the segment where I create the new document:
    // Init
    (function(){
      destination = Folder.selectDialog('Select folder for SVG files.', docPath);
      if (!destination){return;}
      holderDoc = app.documents.add();
      holderDoc.artboards[0].artboardRect = [0,0,128,128];
      stepThroughAndExportLayers(docRef.layers);
    and get this error message:
    "Error 1200: an Illustrator error occured: 1346458189 ('PARM')
    Line: 83
    -> holderDoc.artboards[0].artboardRect = [0,0,128,128];"
    which from what I've read on the web means that illustrator doesnt know what document to pick. but i have called it directly. so what could be the issue?
    to clearify: I do not want to fit the artboard to the images/layer. the artboard should always have a certain size. (for me 128px by 128px)
    I would highly appreciate you helping me with either fixing my approach or propose a completely new one.
    Thanks so much in advance.
    // edit: workaround
    (function(){
              destination = Folder.selectDialog('Select folder for SVG files.', docPath);
              if (!destination){return;}
              var activeArtboard = app.activeDocument.artboards[app.activeDocument.artboards.getActiveArtboardIndex()];
              var ABRect = activeArtboard.artboardRect;
              holderDoc = app.documents.add();
              holderDoc.artboards.add(ABRect);
              holderDoc.artboards.remove(0);
              holderDoc.artboards.setActiveArtboardIndex(0);
              //stepThroughAndExportLayers(docRef.layers);
    i now added a new artboard to the new document with the same size as the artboard on the initial document.
    i remove the predefined artboard on the new doc and set the new artboard as active.
    BUT!
    the artboard is now not centered into the window. which lets illustrator place my image with ctrl+c -> ctrl+v somewhere outside the artboard.
    i now need to align my selection to the center of the artboard. but i cant find any reference on how to center a selection to the artboard.

    yes of course. i never modify the author's comments in original scripts.
    but I wont post the script anywhere when it doesnt work anyway haha.
    this is what I've done now:
    // Init
    (function(){
              destination = Folder.selectDialog('Select folder for SVG files.', docPath);
              if (!destination){return;}
              var activeArtboard = app.activeDocument.artboards[app.activeDocument.artboards.getActiveArtboardIndex()];
              var ABRect = activeArtboard.artboardRect;
              // create new document with same artboard as original
              holderDoc = app.documents.add(DocumentColorSpace.RGB, new UnitValue ((Math.abs(ABRect[0]-ABRect[2])), "px"), new UnitValue ((Math.abs(ABRect[0]-ABRect[2])), "px"));
              stepThroughAndExportLayers(docRef.layers);
    in order to create the new document with the same dimensions as my orignal doc, I first read the artboardRect dimensions of the current artboard and then create the document with those values passed as parameters. the calculation is to get the real width since artboardRect gives you left,top,right,bottom values and not just height and width.
    this only works for square formats though. to make it properly you'd have to change the second "new UnitValue" to use the top and bottom values of artboardRect but I currently dont need to do so.

  • Set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF

    Hi All,
    How to set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF.
    I have a RTF whch is having a field in that i need to add some validation condition but after adding certain condition in Add help text tab ,it is not accepting after certain length, how i can increase the length to unlimited,please help me on this
    Thnaks

    Form fields have some restrictions if your are using version lower than 11g.
    They can accommodate only 393 chars. You can add the text in both status bar and help key, which can in total consume 393 chars.
    If your code logic is more than that, it can be split into multiple form fields as Avinash suggested or you can use sub template logic and handle coding over there. Again in sub template code can be within/outside form fields.
    So there is no option for user to increase the size of form field.

  • How do you set the size / bounds of a waveform chart at run time?

    I have a plot area that I would like to fill with as many waveform charts as the user specifies (at run time). The "bounds" property is read only and I haven't noticed an additional "size" property for a waveform chart as there is for a button. Is there a way to set the size of a waveform chart at run time, and if not, why not? (Labview 6.1)

    Look at it a little more carefully, I suspect that your assumption is only half wrong. The property does only resize the plot area--LV resizes the frame to fit the resized plot on it's own.
    You'll need to bear this in mind when you're figuring-out what size to set the property to.

  • How to set the size for height of iView tray?

    Hi,
    I have created a ABAP webdynpro component and integrated this comp with iView. Then i integrated iView into Page in portal. That is working fine.
    But the size of tray/window which is displayed in the page is very small.
    How to increase the height of that Tray/window/iView containing my component?

    Hi,
    By changing the maximum automatic height and Minimum automatic height property of the iview you can set the size for height of your iview.
    to do this follow the setps:
    goto content administrator -> portal content -> your folder where you created your iview or directly to your iview -> right click -> open -> object,
    and now in property category choose appearance-Size from the drop down menu and set the above properties to your required height.
    if you want the end user to modify this property set the property to read/write .

  • Export in iPhoto offers a "Custom" setting for size. The default is 1000. 1000 what? Pixels, centimeters, MB's?

    Export in iPhoto offers a "Custom" setting for size.
    1000 is the default, but I don't know what 1000 refers to.
    Pixels, centimeters, MB's?
    I want to make the photo an 1 inch x 1 inch.
    Do I go up or down from the 1000?
    Thanks

    Pixels.
    For a 1" x 1" photo first crop the photo square.  Then export  with Kind = Current with JPEF Quality = Maximum and Size = Full size.
    Then when you go to print the photo select a 1" x 1" print size.  This will squeeze all available pixels in each dimension into the 1" dimension giving you the highest DPI resolution available from your image file.

  • Is there a way to set target size in Compressor

    I know this may be too general of a question, but i'd really like to find a way to set the size of a compressed file. I have to upload videos to and online host server and my max is 1.5 GB. right now i have to fool around and try different codecs to see how big they are and sometimes i have 20-30 minute videos. and it's pretty poor work flow to wait an hour to encode only to find out that it's way tpp small or way too big.
    also any suggestions on which codec i should use to upload videos from 15 seconds to 30 minutes with a 1.5 GB size cap would be great
    thanks

    I'll answer your first question first.
    Best codec for quality is H.264, one good settings folder is the following:
    Settings tab>Apple>Other workflows>Web>QT7 compatible>Pick your H.264 setting (For flv you'll need a third party plugin or software).
    You want to know how big your file is going to be before encoding?
    Choose your setting. Set your preferred bit rate then in Inspector window click on the "summary" button (first from left before the encoder button).
    Look carefully through the listed info, there you'll find out what the estimated file size is. If you change bit rate again the estimated size will change too.

  • Setting page size in Numbers on Ipad?

    Anyone know if you can set page size in Numbers on Ipad?

    I don't see a setting for page size.  Everything else related to that (sans setting the page size) appears to be found here:
    Click the wrench
    Share & Print
    Print
    Select portrait/landscape, content size, page numbering, headers
    Done (don't actually print it)
    I wonder if you set the page size when you actually go to print it.  I don't have a printer to try it on. Otherwise it looks like 8.5x11 is all you get.
