I have multiple printers and in CS6 about 75% of the time the dialog box does not come up it just goes straight towards the default printer Is this a glitch or is there a setting becuase previous versions of Illustrator always brought up the dialog to select page size, printer, seperations, etc. Using OSX Mountain Lion
View 4 RepliesMy company is exporting Postcards in Illustrator CS6. What we do is have a large data set imported into the Variables applet and use the Actions applet to record and export action and play it through the whole data set. We later combine the PDF files and print them as a batch.
My question is: Is there a way to create an action that will automatically print the data set while avoiding the print dialog box? It will make the process simple and move faster.
Also, what are your was of creating postcards? Catalogs?
How do people create a catalog with over 60 pages and keep the file size low?
I need to initiate print dialog. Action must be completely the same like pressing Cntr+P on keyboard.
When I use this code:
var colorOptions = new PrintColorManagementOptions();
colorOptions.name = "ColorMatch RGB";
colorOptions.intent = PrintColorIntent.ABSOLUTECOLORIMETRIC;
colorOptions.colorProfileMode = PrintColorProfile.SOURCEPROFILE;
[Code]...
I get error message: "Can't print the illustration. The Color Management setting are inconsistent."
Is there any way to programmatically call up the print dialog? Or is there some sort of "send keys" function similar to the corel vba?

Operating system, CS5 suite and printer drivers all updated.
When attempting to print a photo, it can take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes for the print dialog box to open up. It takes SO LONG that it appears that Photoshop has frozen, but it has not. The print dialog box opens eventually. This started about 2 months ago. I have looked at all preferences, assigned more RAM to Photoshop, uninstalled and reinstalled the entire suite, ran all updates, uninstalled and reinstalled the printer drivers - all to no avail.
I am at a loss as to why it would take SO LONG for the print dialog box to open after selecting print? I thought there may be a problem with the print spooler or print queue, but the slowness happens BEFORE the print back system is touched. The print queue is empty, and there is nothing stuck in there. I've checked.
the Print Dialog simply will not show up so I can adjust the ICC profiles etc.I have CS6 Upgrade installed (upgraded from CS5) and running on a Windows 8 PC.

What calibration PS is refering to? I've tried the built in pen and color adjustment on the printer but that operation does not seems to be of interest by PS.
In the Snippet Ilogic examples can be found a code example to pop up the "Save File Dialog":

Code to show the print dialog?

As I understand, Gimp make GTK, used in Gnome. GTK provides a dialog for selecting a printer and specifying the options for that printer. My problem is that whenever I'm faced with this dialog, it's a completely random set of settings; it's not the printer defaults (specified in CUPS) and it's not the last-used settings either for the user or the application.
It's a big productivity issue when I regularly print documents and high res photos and need to change ~10 or so options each time. Invariably I forget to change one of them and have to print something twice.
Is there any way to control these default print settings? I'd like it to pick up the CUPS defaults for the print queue selected.
Since upgrading to InDesign CC I have noticed that all print progress dialog boxes stay on top of all windows, even after switching apps. I find this highly annoying and want it to go away. Is there a preference I can change to make it NOT be on top, especially when I've switched to a different application?

I find this excellant for fireworks and certain architecture prints.
Problem is that in CS6 I cannot adjust Set Up dialog to get entire paper printed correctly. The printer(both Canon's 9000mkii/9500mkii) always have a border. Red River(the paper I use) sez use 8x12 but there is no 8x12 setting.
the paper size in the CS6 Print menu (PS Manages Color) so the copy is inked 100%?
Print setting on a printer dialog is not responding. Now I have a new printer driver (Epsom stylus Photo R800)I cannot set paper size.This is a recurring problem. I have been trying to relaunch app holding control+ option+shift without effect.

On a few random idw files we are seeing the default "Number of copies" in the settings section of the print dialog box with strange high numbers in this case 693965387. As soon as the user selects a different printer the number drops to 1. If the user selects the printer properties and navigates to the advanced page the Copy Count is 1969. I have checked the default printer settings and it is set to 1 copy.

UNTIL you decide to print. Once you hit the print selection it takes a MINIMUM of 40 seconds for the CS4 print dialog to appear. If you then hit the "page setup" button, it'll be at LEAST another 30 seconds before that appears. Once they're up, you can navigate around and make changes, but once you hit the print button on the dialog it'll be another 10-15 seconds before it responds and if you specify "Print Preview" it'll be at least another 30 seconds before you get the preview. Once it hits the printer, it prints fine. There haven't been any software or hardware changes in weeks, except the weekly MS updates that get installed.
I've tried large images, and small images in case there was something CS4 was doing. This process is this slow when printing a 4x6 greeting card or a 12 x 18 photograph.
What's interesting is this is a new phenomenon... It worked FINE up until sometime last week. Then suddenly, slow....... Concurrently, the print dialog STOPPED DISPLAYING INK LEVELS. The status monitor still displays them, but the printer dialog no longer does.
I've unloaded the printer and cleaned off every file I could find that appeared to be associated with an Epson print driver. Went to Epson and got the latest, Windows 7, 64-bit set of drivers and status monitor and installed that. No difference. Also tried a new USB cable AND switched it to the other USB port on the printer and on the PC. Nothing's made any difference......
If necessary, I can have her re-install CS4, but is there anything that should be done before we start clobbering major applications, or ever worse, the operating system?

Everything prints fine from my on-line E-mail, Microsoft Word, etc. However, when I attempt to print from Adobe Illustrator I get a "Print to file" WINDOW that comes up, I never got this before I don't want to print to file (!!!!). I want to print to the printer.

Is this now a "normal" behavior for Illustrator? Is there a workaround, or a preference somewhere I missed?
If this is a choice from the developers, let me say that removing features IS NOT a good way to go!In the meantime I'll revert to CS5 for that particular batch..If CC is going the same way I.E. removing features instead of improving old ones I'll pass..
Dialog boxes are appearing in various different places rather than a central location on the screen...
For example: the Save dialog appears half off screen towards the lower right section of the display. Various other boxes appear in the top left, upper right. All dialog boxes are moveable, so i can reposition them to the middle but the next time i used appear where they were, not centrally.
I work both on a 13" macook pro seperately and with and a 27" apple display attached. Dialog boxes are visiable on the 27" display but often in odd places.
Is there any way i can reset their position? I have tried reseting all dialogs, trashed the preferences in the preferences in the library folder on the computer but no luck. I am puzzled.
I am using two screens and moving Illustrator to the larger screen from my laptop so that I can see things better. I am still using CS2. One day for reasons I still do not understand, my PDF dialog box disappeared. Illustrator thinks it is there, but the only thing I can do is escape out of it. I can't save a file as a PDF, and I need to do that on a regular basis. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling CS2, but it did not change anything.
How to retrieve a dialog box that has gone off the screens?
When I use 'kAISaveDocumentAsAction' to play action event, the pdf option dialog shows up, as in the following piece of code:
result = sAIActionManager->AIActionSetString( valueParameterBlock, kAISaveDocumentAsNameKey, szPDFullFileName );
//file format
result = sAIActionManager->AIActionSetString( valueParameterBlock, kAISaveDocumentAsFormatKey, kAIPDFFileFormat);
//file extension
result = sAIActionManager->AIActionSetString( valueParameterBlock, kAISaveDocumentAsExtensionKey, kAIPDFFileFormatExtension );
//show pdf option dialog
result = sAIActionManager->AIActionSetInteger( valueParameterBlock, kAISaveDocumentAsGetParamsKey, 1);
//play event
result = sAIActionManager->PlayActionEvent( kAISaveDocumentAsAction, kDialogOff, valueParameterBlock);
[code]....
I want to use the kAISaveDocumentACopyAsAction option and want the pdf option dialog to show.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm creating a dialog window for an Illustrator script, and would like to include a logo image.
The image file is 'mm_logo.png', and it lies in the same directory as the script itself. Here's the relevant fragment:
var dlg = new Window('dialog', '',[200,200,600,400]);// logodlg.logo = dlg.add("image", {x:25,y:0,width:139,height:67},undefined,'mm_logo.png');
Sadly the image fails to appear when I run the script (although the dialog itself and items such as panel lines and buttons do appear).
The documentation suggests I may need to supply the 'current' property of the 'Folder' class.
I created a simple batch action that makes a small change to an EPS file, and then exports to WMF.
On the last step, I record File>Close. This opens the "Save Changes to original doc?" dialog window below (see graphic). I choose "Don't Save", and stop the action.
However, each time it stops the batch on this dialog box.
Is there anyway to automate this step so that it will not interrupt my batch?
I'm just wondering if there is a shortcut command for the 'export' dialogue box?
The only information I seem to be bringing up in searches is 'exporting your shortcuts' to create custom shortcut keys.
