You're correct, the pattern itself was oddly dimensioned – I've set the units as pixels everywhere, but even though resizing the pattern to 850x850px seems to work, then IL sees it as 850x849.999px, go figure... I guess I should start over on a fresh document – as a quick fix, I've imported the vector as a single tile in Photoshop, and set the Pattern there – as a bitmap, the tiling is OK and the client is happy too 🙂 Thank you for the support! Davide (BTW I was wrong before, the P20000 prints at 1200dpi, not 1400dpi; the 11880 at 1440, so they're multiples of 300 and 360 respectively)

Thanks for your replies guys, my comments below. Ton Frederiks I'll check that! My pattern in exactly 30cmx30cm, should I have used pixel dimensions instead? In fact, I was rasterizing at 300ppi and not 360ppi – what I originally used back when I printed with the Epson 11880 (which native resolution was 1440, whereas the Epson P20000 has 1400). jdanek I wish I could let the printer do the Color Management, but it's not an option I'm presented in the printing dialog (I have absolutely no idea why) Thank you again, Davide

Hello, I'm facing a problem concerning printing in Illustrator vs. Photoshop. I'm far more experienced in the latter, so I'm on new grounds here. This is the printing dialog in PS, where PS manages the color. PS does the conversion (AdobeRGB -> Printer ICC), handles the converted file to the printer driver, which in turn doesn't touch it anymore – in fact the Color Matching section of the Epson driver is grayed out. Conversely, this is the printing dialog in IL, where as far as I get IL manages the color. IL should do the conversion (AdobeRGB -> Printer ICC), should handle the converted file to the printer driver, which in turn shouldn't touch it anymore – fact is that the Color Matching section of the Epson printer is not grayed out. I thought that setting the same Printer profile in the Epson driver would have (in the worst case) lead to a sort-of innocuous double conversion (like printerICC -> printerICC = some rounding errors), but, in fact, the colors are way, way (way!) out compared to my reference, the Photoshop print. By Photoshop print I mean importing in PS the .ai with the assigned profile, rasterizing it, and printing it as I use to do, with CMS in PS and not in the printer driver. Since I'm unable to not color manage the document in IL (PS has a "Printer Color Management" option in the printing dialog that IL appears to miss), I've thought to check "preserve RGB numbers" – that is to say: send them without conversion, straight to the Epson driver – and then do there the proper conversion setting the Printer ICC in the Color Matching section, but again, I've another different result (a third one). I wasn't particularly hopeful, but perhaps, I was wondering, it's the IL way to say "let the printer do the color management". So basically I've: Print A – the PS reference with proper CMS (aka the correct one) Print B – the IL with proper printer profile in the IL dialog, and same printer profile in the Epson driver Print C – the IL with proper printer profile in the IL dialog, preserve number checked, and same printer profile in the Epson driver A != B != C, being A the reference. Am I missing something very obvious here? Thank you! Davide Barranca PS In case you're wondering why I still do bother to print in IL and not just import in PS and print there, I'm having severe troubles with Seamless Patterns: what is actually a seamless pattern in Illustrator (both visually in the application, and in the printed paper), gets "stroked tiles" when rasterized in PS – I assume this is a bug. Known or unknown, I can't say... any help is appreciated on this side as well. Below is a rectangle filled with such pattern. E.g. Illustrator crop of adjacent pattern tiles: Photoshop, importing the .ai and rasterizing at printing res:

I've used GET request via Socket in the past, not POST. E.g. var reply = ""; // The HTTP Request string var req = "GET http://currentmillis.com/time/minutes-since-unix-epoch.php " + "HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: currentmillis.com\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n"; conn = new Socket(); if (conn.open("www.currentmillis.com:80", "binary")) { // 188.121.45.1 conn.write(req); reply = conn.read(999999); $.writeln("Full Reply ---------------\n" + reply); conn.close(); $.writeln("Minutes since Unix epoch: " + reply.substr(this.reply.indexOf("\r\n\r\n") + 7, 10)); } Any chance you can use a CEP Panel, that would be easier...

Small tweak to your original code: var w = new Window("dialog", "teste Radio"); w.orientation = "row"; w.alignChildren = "top"; // insert this line var radio_group = w.add('panel', undefined, "Radio"); radio_group.alignChildren = "left"; radio_group.add("radiobutton", undefined, "Radio 1"); radio_group.add("radiobutton", undefined, "Radio 2"); var btnGroup = w.add("group"); btnGroup.orientation = "column"; btnGroup.add('button', { x: 90, y: 125, width: 90, height: 25 }, 'Ok', { name: 'ok' }); btnGroup.add('button', { x: 240,y: 125, width: 90, height: 25 }, 'Cancel', {name: 'cancel'}); //radio_group.children[0].value = true; // function selected_rbutton(rbuttons) { for (var i = 0; i < rbuttons.children.length; i++) { if (rbuttons.children.value == true) { return rbuttons.children.text; } } return "none" } // Scrips.jsx if (w.show() == 1) { var chosenRadioButton = selected_rbutton(radio_group); switch (chosenRadioButton) { // Scrips Radio 1 case "Radio 1": alert("This is the Radio 1 script"); break; // Scrips Radio 2 case "Radio 2": alert("This is the Radio 2 script"); break; default: alert("no radio button has been chosen") } } Davide

Hi, the correct reply to your question is going to be different depending on the context of your JSX: you've specified CEP, so what follows is going to be strictly CEP specific (i.e. there are simpler ways to eval multiple JSX files in the context of pure scripting, for instance via #include directives – that will fail in Photoshop CEP – or make use of File($.fileName).path that will fail either). You want to use in the JS something like: var csInterface = new CSInterface(); var extensionRoot = csInterface.getSystemPath(SystemPath.EXTENSION); because this is the only way to tell the JSX where it belongs (i.e. to workaround #include failure). As a complete example: var csInterface = new CSInterface(); var jsxRoot = csInterface.getSystemPath(SystemPath.EXTENSION) + "/jsx/"; // mind the mixed double + single quotes below! csInterface.evalScript('evalFile("' + jsxRoot + 'anotherFile.jsx")', function(res) { console.log(res) }); Then in the JSX: function evalFile(path) { try { $.evalFile(path); } catch(e) { alert(e) } } Basically, you're passing down to the JSX layer the path of the file for evaluation. This is the simplest form: you can write a slightly more elaborate JSX function that takes the path of a folder as the parameter, and evaluates all the JSX in there. Caveat: There are several ways to write functions that do not work in a secondary JSX: var secondaryFun = function(param) { ... } function secondaryFun(param) { ... } The only way to build a function in a secondary JSX that sticks in the ExtendScript engine is omitting the var: secondaryFun = function(param) { ... } Since you already are in the global scope there should be no difference. Alternatively, you may want to encapsulate everything into an object to namespace your utilities. HTH, Davide

The ExtendScript ToolKit (ESTK) has a dedicated profiling tool, that is documented on page 35,36 of the JavaScript Tools Guide.pdf – you should be able to find it in the ESTK own folder. Davide

Hi, if you obfuscate your code (for instance as I've sugged), that would prevent prying eyes from successfully reverse engineer your protection – whatever you decide to use. Adobe doesn't allow secured archives – the ZXP that is downloaded in background via Adobe Add-ons website, and deployed via CC app, result in the same set of folders and files that you'd distribute yourself. The only difference is that you cannot unzip the ZXP because it's encrypted with some CC user based key, but the resulting folder is plain readable (unless you obfuscate it).

Hi, I wouldn't advise using PS storage (either CEP localStorage, or PS registry): local storage is easily purged, and PS registry gets restored to a pristine state when Preferences are reset. A good old hidden file in the filesystem – even better if encrypted – is preferable IMHO. Speaking instead about obfuscation, you can use JSXBIN followed by JsxBlind by Marc Autret (see Indiscripts :: JsxBlind's New Version for ExtendScript Developers) for the scripting code. On the JS side, there are several free and paid alternatives – among them JavaScript Obfuscator Tool and https://javascriptobfuscator.com/ These will make as hard as it gets the job for those willing to reverse engineer your code. Hope this helps, Davide

It's a known bug – ok / cancel buttons turn everything in the same group/panel rounded corners. Apparently, it works one time only, i.e. only one Cancel in your window is able to "roundify" corners. But if you use ok, as in the following snip, both are rounds. var box = new Window( 'dialog', "Test corners of buttons" ); box.panel1 = box.add( 'panel', undefined, "" ); box.panel1_cancelBtn = box.panel1.add( 'button', undefined, "Cancel" ); box.panel1_createBtn = box.panel1.add( 'button', undefined, "Create" ); box.panel2 = box.add( 'panel', undefined, "" ); // ok here turns round the corners as well box.panel2_cancelBtn = box.panel2.add( 'button', undefined, "Cancel" ); box.panel2_saveBtn = box.panel2.add( 'button', undefined, "ok" ); box.panel1_cancelBtn.onClick = function() { box.close() }; box.panel2_cancelBtn.onClick = function() { box.close() }; box.show(); Davide

ESTK has the standard set of debugging utils – you can set breakpoints, step in/over/out, you have a Data Browser panel, etc. More info in the Javascript Tools Guide pdf. You can always log stuff on the console with $.writeln(), if you want; also ExtendScript has a peculiar .toSource() method that you may want to use: var obj = { a: 1, b: false, c: [9, 19,29] } $.writeln(obj) // [object Object] $.writeln(obj.toSource()) // ({a:1, b:false, c:[9, 19, 29]}) Also, the Reflection interface is quite useful – see the above-mentioned pdf on page 211.

Do you mean the Levels dialog position? I don't think it's possible, or at least I'm not aware of native dialog positioning. You can try/catch the Levels canceling as follows (I've slightly simplified your code) win=new Window("dialog","Window test!",[0,0,355,125]); panel=win.add("panel",[10,10,340,110],"Open a dialog box in the same location x, y of this window!"); btn_open=panel.add("button",[33,34,283,54],"Open a window .. Ex: Levels"); //////////////// btn_open.onClick = function() { if(app.documents.length == 0){ alert("There needs to be an open document!"); // you can also win.close(); return; } try { var descriptor = new ActionDescriptor(); executeAction( stringIDToTypeID( "levels" ), descriptor, DialogModes.ALL); } catch(e) { // do whatever you need, or win.close() } } win.center(); win.show(); Hope this helps, Davide

I think the problem was that your initial code didn't provide any event.data, and the event.type wasn't correct. Think about the PlugPlugExternalObject as a way to load the needed lib – if everything's ok, i.e. xLib != undefined, then you can send the event.

Hi JJMack , indeed they messed a bit with panel geometry – what was not-resizable is now resizable, what was resizable is fixed-size. Moreover, the dimension is right the first time you open the panel, close and reopen it, and it gets weird. As Thomas mentioned, Adobe said it's in the bugfixes log. Finger crossed! Davide

Hi, you can try this: // In the JS csInterface.addEventListener("com.davide.customEvent", function(evt) { console.log('Data from the JSX payload: ' + evt.data); }); // In the JSX try { var xLib = new ExternalObject("lib:\PlugPlugExternalObject"); } catch (e) { alert(e) } if (xLib) { var eventObj = new CSXSEvent(); eventObj.type = "com.davide.customEvent"; eventObj.data = "some payload data..."; eventObj.dispatch(); } It works even if you run the JSX part from ESTK.

Hi, testing in ESTK, I have got an error right after OK2. Since the "invokeCommand" thing is useless, and what you're actually interested is what comes after OK3, just get rid of everything else and keep only: var idMrgV = charIDToTypeID( "MrgV" ); var desc21 = new ActionDescriptor(); var idDplc = charIDToTypeID( "Dplc" ); desc21.putBoolean( idDplc, true ); executeAction( idMrgV, desc21, DialogModes.NO ); Those "invokeCommand" etc. are relics of the now apparently dead Design Space (was it called design? Anyway, that alternative UI that Photoshop had as a technology preview for some versions, then disappeared). We've asked to remove them, they're still there... Davide
