This tool could do so much more then just doing materials. Creating a seamless pattern for example but therefor it must get rid of these silly 4096 px. And perhaps it should get a Lock-Icon so the layers beneath are not calculated anymore. By now Substance Designer is limited to 32.000 px (in Prefs). ... View more

Whats the Problem with this model? I imported it as .obj, generated uv's, chose the wand, put the decal on it and the decal is destorted. It's not the Normals, a you can see in Blender, seems like the Verticals are turned. ... View more

Im aktuellen Acrobat DC scheint der Preflight keine Leerzeichen nach Text zu erkennen. Ein Textfeld das nur aus Leerzeichen besteht wird ebenfalls ignoriert. Ein Kunde meinte, das das in Acrobat 9 möglich war, jetzt funktioniert das gleiche Preflight-Profil nicht mehr. --- In the current Acrobat DC, the preflight does not seem to recognize spaces after text. A text field consisting of blanks only is also ignored. A customer said that this was possible in Acrobat 9, now the same preflight profile does not work anymore. --- Here are some pics, the test-PDF and my test-Preflight: http://download.netzfeld.de/whitespace.zip ...

With a script for Illustrator I try to make the printing-process for our staff easier. They need to specify different Folders for A4 and A3 PDFs. First thoughts: I have Illustrator-Files with different Artboard-sizes and Page Orientations. Our RIP does not recognize the document-pages being A4 or A3. So I have to split the File in at least two PDFs, one is A4, one is A3. All of them must be in Portrait-Mode so that A4 and A3 is used completely. Printing in a PDF (Windows workflow) works with PrintOrientation set to AUTOROTATE. Rotating the artboards with all Objects and save as PDF would be great but I figured out it's pretty complicated. So I would like to go on with printing in a PDF and using the Autorotate feature. Where I am stuck: The filename and the printJobOptions seem to be ignored. I need to specify the path of the filename and the Media-Size but the PDF-Settings of the virtual PDF-Printer I am using as standard seem to be used first and all the properties in the Script are overwritten. This is the Standard-Setting of the PDF: This is the script so far: #target Illustrator #targetengine main /* var originalInteractionLevel = userInteractionLevel; userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS; */ var docRef = app.activeDocument; var options = new PrintOptions(); /* printJobOptions.printPreset = 'Netzfeld-test'; */ // Printer options.printerName = 'Adobe PDF'; options.PPDName = 'Adobe PDF'; // Fonts var fontOpts = new PrintFontOptions(); fontOpts.downloadFonts = PrintFontDownloadMode.DOWNLOADCOMPLETE; fontOpts.fontSubstitution = FontSubstitutionPolicy.SUBSTITUTETINT; options.fontOptions = fontOpts; // Color var colorOptions = new PrintColorManagementOptions(); colorOptions.intent = PrintColorIntent.RELATIVECOLORIMETRIC; colorOptions.colorProfileMode = PrintColorProfile.CUSTOMPROFILE; colorOptions.name = "Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004)"; options.colorManagementOptions = colorOptions; // Seperation var sepOptions = new PrintColorSeparationOptions(); sepOptions.convertSpotColors = true; sepOptions.overPrintBlack = true; sepOptions.colorSeparationMode = PrintColorSeparationMode.COMPOSITE; sepOptions.colorProfileMode = PrintColorProfile.SOURCEPROFILE; options.colorSeparationOptions = sepOptions; // Print Coordinates var coordinateOptions = new PrintCoordinateOptions(); coordinateOptions.emulsion = false; // reverse from right to left coordinateOptions.fitToPage = false; // fit artwork to page size coordinateOptions.position = PrintPosition.TRANSLATECENTER; coordinateOptions.orientation = PrintOrientation.AUTOROTATE; options.coordinateOptions = coordinateOptions; // Filename and Artboards are ignored var printJobOptions = new PrintJobOptions(); options.printJobOptions = printJobOptions; // Filename var docPath = new File('C://_temp//bla.pdf'); printJobOptions.file = docPath; // Artboards printJobOptions.designation = PrintArtworkDesignation.VISIBLEPRINTABLELAYERS; printJobOptions.printArea = PrintingBounds.ARTBOARDBOUNDS; printJobOptions.collate = true; printJobOptions.printAllArtboards = false; printJobOptions.artboardRange = '1'; // Print docRef.print(options); /* userInteractionLevel = originalInteractionLevel; */ What's wrong with it? What's missing? The example in the Scripting Manual of Illustrator on page 176 doesn't seem to work either when I print to PDF: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/illustrator/sdk/CC2017/Illustrator_JavaScript_Scripting_Reference.pdf ...

Hi there, I wish to print in a PDF to use the automatic rotation so that the artboards are printed in one direction (portrait). The PDFs are needed for a RIP. I figured out the possibility to export (save) as PDF but the solution for the automatic rotation is pretty complicated, so I hope this one is easier. (Putting a rectangle on top of all at the size of the artboard, group the colliding elements, rotate the group if it's landscape with the center of the rectagle and let the artboard fit to the rectangle afterwands and that's for all artboards, see what I mean?) Here's the point and the script I am working on. I get a failure-response about embedding fonts but I do not know what's missing as the .ps solution at the bottom works. What is needed is a PDF-X3 with flattened Transparency, Coated FOGRA 39, Spot Colors to 4C /* var originalInteractionLevel = userInteractionLevel; userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS; */ var ordner = 'C://_temp//'; //The PDF sould be written to a absolute Path in the Network of a Windows environment  var dateiNameExt = app.activeDocument.name.split( "." ); //Getting the name of the active Document var dateiName = dateiNameExt[dateiNameExt.length-2]; //Extract .ai var druckOptionen = new PrintOptions(); druckOptionen.printPreset = "Netzfeld-test"; //My Print Preset druckOptionen.PPDName = "Adobe PDF"; druckOptionen.printerName = "Adobe PDF"; var druckJobOptionen = new PrintJobOptions(); druckJobOptionen.name = dateiName; var dateiPfad = new File (ordner + dateiName + ".pdf"); //Use the document name and the path to save the pdf druckJobOptionen.file = dateiPfad; druckOptionen.jobOptions = druckJobOptionen; //Sone useless stuff I suppose var fontOpts = new PrintFontOptions(); druckOptionen.fontOptions = fontOpts; //Set some font options fontOpts.downloadFonts = PrintFontDownloadMode.DOWNLOADCOMPLETE; fontOpts.fontSubstitution = FontSubstitutionPolicy.SUBSTITUTETINT; // Print with options app.activeDocument.print(druckOptionen); /* userInteractionLevel = originalInteractionLevel; */ The output I get: Parts of the printPreset: The one that works with .ps: #target illustrator var originalInteractionLevel = userInteractionLevel; userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS; //Druckvorgabe waehlen. var druckVorgabe = "druck-test"; //Output ordner für die ps Datei definieren var ordner = 'C:/_temp/'; var datRef = activeDocument; //Dateiname extrahieren var dateiNameExt = datRef.name.split( "." ); var dateiName = dateiNameExt[dateiNameExt.length-2]; //Druckoptionen einstellen var druckOptionen = new PrintOptions(); //Druckjoboptionen erstellen var druckJobOptionen = new PrintJobOptions(); druckJobOptionen.name = dateiName; //Dateipfad konstruiren var dateiPfad = new File (ordner + dateiName + ".ps"); druckJobOptionen.file = dateiPfad; druckOptionen.jobOptions = druckJobOptionen; //Druckvorgabe waehlen druckOptionen.printPreset = druckVorgabe; //alert(dateiPfad); //Drucken datRef.print(druckOptionen); userInteractionLevel = originalInteractionLevel; //Schliessen /* datRef.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES); */ Maybe someone of you might help. ...
