Conversion from Illustrator to Xaml

New Here ,
Jun 10, 2009 Jun 10, 2009

Hello,

I work as IS Project manager in Toulouse, France, and one of our customer has expressed the following requirement : he wants to convert Adobe Illustrator files to Microsoft Xaml format.

As of today, we consider that using the Illustrator SDK would be the best solution because the existing tools (developed by MS or others) are not reliable or not complete. However, we do not have any expertise about AI SDK and I wondered if Adobe :

- has projects in progress about such a conversion (or at least a feedback)

- else might be interested in contributing to the realization of a conversion tool

- else could provide expertise to assist us in the realization of the conversion tool using SDK (trainings, consultants, etc.) whatever this forum seems to be a good entry

Thanks a lot.

Best regards,

François

I don't know anything at all about XAML, so I'm not sure if what I have to say is useful. If you're looking to convert an AI document into something else using the SDK, the main way to do that would be to use the SDK to create a file format plugin, specifically targeting the Export operation. All this does though is provide the UI glue, it'd be up to you to walk the document's art tree and convert what you need into whatever you want it to look like in XAML. If you're trying to write something that would do an AI document -> XAML conversion from OUTSIDE Illustartor, the SDK isn't going to be any use to at all.

Also, while we have just recently seen someone from Adobe post here, by and large it doesn't seem to get much traffic. If you're hoping to arrange something with them, your best bet is to contact them directly.

un lien qui pourrait te convenir, ou du moins te montrer ce qu'il est possible de faire!

Sachant que quand même un certain nombre d'objet graphique ne sont pas gérés complètement ou correctement.

Et que les sources ne sont pas disponibles.

Sinon  après il faut mettre les mains dedans, mais ceci est tout à fait faisable!

Cela reste pour le principal du parcours d'arbre et de la conversion.

En tout il ne faut pas attendre d'aide de la part d'Adobe, à moins de payer pour un contrat d'assitance.

Le développement d'outils tiers n'est pas leur priorité. Ils fournissent un SDK, qui demande un phase d'apprentissage,

mais qui se révèle puissant.

Thomas.

voici quelques exemples de ce qu'il est possible de faire!

Bonjour Thomas et merci pour ta réponse.

Hélas je n'arrive pas à accéder au lien en question.

>> il ne faut pas attendre d'aide de la part d'Adobe, à moins de payer pour un contrat d'assitance.

Cette solution est envisageable et le support Adobe m'avait renvoyé sur ce forum aussi pour cela ! Si tu connais le réseau Adobe, vers qui selon toi pourrais-je me tourner pour cela ?

Merci.

François

autant pour moi, j'ai oublié de mettre le lien dans ma réponse.

voici donc le lien vers le plugin d'export xaml de Mike Swanson. (Evangéliste chez Microsoft)

http://www.mikeswanson.com/xamlexport/

(n.b: toutes les primitives graphique ne sont pas gérées correctement ou complètement).

Sur ce forum, il n'y pratiquement jamais de réponse de la part des devs d'Adobe. Il n'y a que des développeurs tiers qui s'aident sur l'utilisation du sdk.

Sinon concernant le contact chez Adobe, je ne pourrais pas t'aider, car pour notre part, nous avons réussi à nous en passer.

(Export Illustrator -> format pivot -> Xaml, GDI+ ou autre!)

Thomas.

I downloaded and install the XAMLExport. Now i am able to export the illustrator file as .xaml through illustrator cs3. But i have one doubt. Is it possible to export the illustrator file as .xaml via software or through scripting. Kindly advice me the possibilities and solution.

via software ? with a third party software, I don't know if you can do it!I guess not.

whereas through scripting this should be possible, just create a script using Illustrator and Actions Scripts.

regards,

Thomas.

I have never done this. I am using only SDK. But you could check: this http://www.adobe.com/devnet/illustrator/scripting/

If you want to create script without using Action Scripts in Illustrator.

Hope this will help.

Thomas.
