Hello, I've done a simple script to generate some standard file formats from a base PSD. It's working nicely on some of the macs around here (all same macOS, all same CC 2019) but on some of them it stops on the first line of resizing and freezes Photoshop. Happy if someone els could test it and tell me how to solve this problem. Thanks in advance. --------------------------------------------------------------------- #target photoshop-130

If it's possible to include all the needed info of your directory structure inside your file you should be able to use these to create a save path for your files depending on them.

As the script is supposed to clean up your original AI file e.g. delete hidden layers and as far as there are some problems when saving on a server volume I haven't even thought about that option.

I'm very sorry - no! As we are only working with Extensis Font Server I can only test scripts for collectin fonts on my own Mac. And as mentioned above the snippets of code I found so far have problems with collectin some type of fonts.

So you may create a new object with gradient fill and replace the clipped images.

You don't have to change the color of the clipping path. Just click on the "block of color" under the clipping path in you layer list. There should be a gradient fill where you can change the colors of the gradient.

The borders of you puzzle pieces seem to be objects with a gradient fill and a clipping path. Maybe first you have to go to the color panel and have all included colors to be defined. Or else you can try to click on one of these objects and go to the gradients panel. Please try and post your results.

Sofern ich Dich richtig verstanden haben, hast du eine Illustration auf einer großen Zeichenfläche (Screenshot oben) und musst diese jetzt aufteilen auf mehrere kleine Zeichenflächen, die dann einzeln geplottet werden (Screenshot unten). Ich lege mir dazu einfach in passender Größe 1 neue Zeichenfläche an und dupliziere diese dann entsprechend daneben weiter mit Null Abstand dazwischen, bis ich die entsprechende Größe insgesamt erreicht habe. Dann die komplette Illu duplizieren und darauf verschieben. Jetzt noch im Dokument die Beschnittzugabe den eigenen Anforderungen entsprechend anlegen (rote umlaufende Linien) und fertig ist der Lack.

That's right. But you have to export to PDF from AI then open the PDF in Acrobat and do the steps as mentioned by you above. In Illustrator you can do these via script automatically.

As long as you only think about offset printing this might be true. But if you're dealing with roto gravure or flexographic printers they want the open file so they can import it to ArtPro. Same goes for the linked images: if they are embedded or only inside your PDF/X-4 they can't be handled individually.

Regarding to Willi Adelsberger embedding links and exporting to EPS seems quite obsolete nowadays. If you want to give your files away for further production e.g. to a printing house they would be pleased to have a set of - your AI file - all linked images - a PDF/X-4 - the fonts you used - and if they can't use these fonts due to system incompatibility fonts mitght be converted to outlines in a 2nd AI file - Web PDF might also be useful not only for web but for preview purposes by people who don't need the "big" PDF/X-4 All these steps can be done with a script so I would suggest you look in the scripting forum. Maybe this might help: Script for collecting files for a printing house

sure add: var size_name = ""; and use UI to enter a user defined value printJobOptions.name = doc.name.split(".")[0] + "_" + size_name + ".pdf";

Script works fine so far. PDFSaveOptions need to be defined. What does it do if you check more than 1 box?

As a first step I would start by hiding all layers except "info" which shall be seen in every version. This file needs to be saved and is now your base file for all following operations. After that you start by showing "outline" and "design" layers for the first size, then export as PDF with the given name, and go back to the base file. That's because in scripting you can't do a "save as copy ..." and saving your actual file as PDF will give you the PDF as active document, not the AI file. These steps have to be repeated for all sizes and that's all. If you could do this in javascript you could go on and put a UI in the script.

So maybe it's a possible solution to do a script that actually "only" saves the AI file and then calls the 2nd script via include. This would mean you have another way to save an open file: Save Save as ... Save copy as ... and your new script to save and call the 2nd script. After that you can do an action that calls this script and use a hotkey.

If you create a white object that knocks out the background the result will be white. If you put a red radient (red to white) upon this you can use normal or multiply as blend mode with all the same results because your background is white.

If you could change your background to 0/100/60/100 you will see the desired result. The outer glow creates a gradient form the background color to your object's color. Your object has no C and no K but full M and a lot of Y. Your background has lots of C and K but only little M and Y.

My guess would be that it's a problem that you have two objects: - bubble with black fill and black stroke below - bubble with white fill on top And both of them have effects applied (Roughen). I did a little test with only one object: - white fill - black fill - black stroke Roughen effect for the whole object. If I start scaling this object it behaves like expected. So maybe as the Roughen effect is always a random effect by scaling these objects the effect will be applied as "new".

You could use an Opacity Mask. That would keep the letter editable. Top: Circle with gradient and letter "A" on top. Middle: Copy letter "A" to clipboard, select the circle, go to window "Transparency" and choose "Make Opacity Mask". Paste letter "A" into the opacity mask (Cmd+F for same position), change color to black. Return form view Opacity Maks to normal view. Delete or hide white letter "A". Draw or copy a new circle behind the 1st one, white fill. Bottom: In case you need it you now can edit the text in your opacity mask, e.g. change to "G". Have fun.

Example: Two text blocks, left one is formatted as you like it. Right one needs to be formatted. Select right text block, then select Eyedropper. When you hover over the left text block with your Eyedropper a little "T" will appear. One click and there you go.

According to some problems you might encounter when using Offset Path I would prefer using Brush.
