What if you lock the layer and turn on Track Changes? Then you'll see if anyone changes anything on the locked layer.

unless 2020 changed something a .xlsx file will not work. as for the .csv file do you have the "MS-DOS Comma Separated (.csv)? If i try to save the .csv files as UTF-8 it does not work Says its unsupported.

Or you could check to make sure this setting (ALL INFORMAION) is checked make sure its not just "Text Only" This will import all Bolds, Italic, etc..

Have you tried to use Paragraph/Character Styles? this will do what you need and you will not need a script.

Can acrobat measure with 3 decimal places right now i can only do 2 and it really sucks because a lot of my files are at least 3 decimals. example for my gaps it should be 0.125 it rounds to 0.13. I need the third or 4th decimal if possible.

Thank you for getting back to me. I knew it was a long shot i was just trying to get an easy way to calculate how much of a label is covered in ink. I'll check into Acrobat and its plugins i'm going to guess that the same issue will arise for those as well.

Basically I just want it to tell me how much of the Artwork is covered by ink. is this even possible? It doesnt have to be a percentage of A color just a total coverage.

I have a Log file for when a file is Saved and when a File is PDF'd. Seperate i can get these to work. but when i place them in the same Script at best only 1 will work.

This is kind of a continuation of my question from yesterday. I have a script that creates a box at the bottom of my page when i origionally made it and had it altered it overwrote the existing text box in that area. I did this on accident. How can i make it place the box there and if the file already has it there leave it alone. We type info in it and i dont want it over written every time. function addTextFramen(doc, layer, name){ var mynBlendingSettings = { blendMode : BlendMode.OVERLAY }; var mynTransparencySettings = { blendingSettings : mynBlendingSettings }; var tfn = doc.textFrames.itemByName(name); if(tfn && tfn.isValid) { tfn.remove (); } var orignUnit = app.scriptPreferences.measurementUnit; app.scriptPreferences.measurementUnit = MeasurementUnits.INCHES; tfn = doc.textFrames.add(layer, LocationOptions.UNKNOWN, {name: name, fillColor :"Magenta", fillTint: 40, transparencySettings : mynTransparencySettings}); tfn.geometricBounds = [doc.pages[0].bounds[2] + .5, 5, doc.pages[0].bounds[2] + 1.55, 8.5] app.scriptPreferences.measurementUnit = orignUnit; return tfn; } function doTfnOne(event){ var doc = event.target; if(!(doc && doc.constructor.name == "Document")) { return; } var myLayern = addLayer(doc, "SaveInfo"); var tfn = addTextFramen(doc, myLayern, "NoteInfo"); }

Is there a way to keep a text frame .5" away from the bottom of the page? I currently have a script that can do this however you have to alter it for every page size. We use tons of different page sizes and it would be way easier if the script could determine all this for me and automatically place it at the bottom. //>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>CREATE TEXT FRAME FOR SAVE INFO<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<\\ function addTextFrame(doc, layer, name){ var myBlendingSettings = { blendMode : BlendMode.OVERLAY }; var myTransparencySettings = { blendingSettings : myBlendingSettings }; var tf = doc.textFrames.itemByName(name); if(tf && tf.isValid) { tf.remove(); } var origUnit = app.scriptPreferences.measurementUnit; app.scriptPreferences.measurementUnit = MeasurementUnits.INCHES; tf = doc.textFrames.add(layer, LocationOptions.UNKNOWN, {name: name, fillColor :"Yellow", fillTint: 20, transparencySettings : myTransparencySettings, geometricBounds: ['12.55','0','11.5','4.5'] }); app.scriptPreferences.measurementUnit = origUnit; return tf; }

Hello my question is for "On Export" (I'll use a event listener for this) indesign will automatically export only used Separations? I was on the regular Indesign forum and asked if indesign would accomplish this on its own and it will not. What i'm getting now is if my file has K, 110, 3145 instead of only having the file as a K, 110, 3145 its C,M,Y,K, 110, 3145 and nothing is on the CMY separations on the PDF.

I may not be wording this correctly. But my issue is that when we export a PDF with lets say K, PMS-110, PMS-3145. it will export those colors as well as C, M, Y. how can i automatically eliminate the Unused Separations on Export? so instead of getting C, M, Y, K, 110, 3145 — i get K, 110, 3145. we have thousands of files all with different colors in them.

Is there a scripts menu? the only one i see is if you go to file>Scripts. Indesign has A Scripts Window and I'm looking for that in illustrator. Also can you set SHortcuts to individual Scripts like in indesign? Thank you.

this is actually a continuation to my question here Text Variables / Identifier question. This script does what i want it to but i have to manually select the script every time i want to use it. it would be faster if I am using that script to automatically have it update the TIme/date/File info every time i select save. In indesign you can do Eventlisteners to accomplish this however i'm not sure how to incorporate this into this script. I'm not even sure if you can use eventlisteners in illustrator.
