View 1 RepliesMicrosoft OLE doesn't seem to work flawlessly in CorelDRAW:
Create a new CorelDRAW file
Select menu item "Edit > Insert New Object ..."
Select "Microsoft Excel Worksheet" from the dialog box. This creates an Excel Worksheet within the CorelDRAW file.
Edit the Excel Worksheet to contain some text in the Worksheet's cells.
Alter the font for some of the cells.
Select menu item "File > Publish to PDF ..."
You will notice that in the PDF file the text is all rubbish:
I have added a CorelDRAW X6 file to this post. Unfortunately this forum doesn't allow for file attachments being bigger than 256k. So I had to upload the CorelDRAW file as an "image" by renaming its file extension. ... Please right-click on above image to download the CorelDRAW file and delete the ".png" file extension from the name in order to download the CorelDRAW file correctly. The correct file name should be "CorelExcelImport.cdr" on your hard disk.

When using the variable data print feature, the images seen in the print preview look correct, but when the page is printed the same data is output in all 4 images. This does not happen every time. I suspect there is something going wrong with the print merge data buffer. I have not been able to reproduce the error. I have created a detailed script to for others to follow when running this job.

I've used CAD programs for years and also have experience with Corel Draw however to date most of what I've found posted on the internet having to do with AI dxf export tells me people have difficulty doing this and even when they can the results are messy. I realize AI produced drawings may need to be optimized to reduce the number of points but aside from this any way, from the very beginning including where to look for the necessary commands .

View 3 Replies View RelatedThe prepping process should be really simple right? Separate colour layers, using Illustrator, then print each layer onto transparency sheets. Well I'm about to loose my mind.
The image is CMYK, its a single spot colour (I think) which is red and the outlines are black. Printer is a Canon ix6500.
I can't seem to separate the colours in Illustrator CS3?! Why?! When selecting Print > Output > Mode > it won't allow me to select Colour Separations.
I've tried to overcome this by selecting Printer > Adobe Postscript and PPD > Canon ix6500 series. This allows me to select Colour Separations, but then it won't print, it only saves it as a PDF, and prints it as is.
Essentially, I need to crop some work to the artboard. I've read about export option but I need this design to import into Flash. My instructor will not permit anything but vector drawings. I can't export to any sort of raster format or pdf. Ideally, it needs to remain as an ai file. When I do the import from Flash, it keeps everything outside the bounds of the artboard (highlighted in red on my screenshot).
This is a group project. I didn't do this drawing, I just wanted to add the perspective lines to the floor. Now it's a bit of an untidy mess when it goes to Flash. And Illustrator is not my strong point. I did try unsuccessfully to "erase", Scissor, knife and a few other things but I really don't know how those tools work. I also tried the clipping mask approach but it didn't want to combine my rectangle "mask" with the lines on the floor.
I'm using AI CS4 and Flash CS6.
The code works to collect fonts in an open Illustrator document. The issue I am having is that it only collects one font. Or sometimes it will collect a whole font family. But I haven't been able to get it to collect all of the fonts in the document.
function getUsedFonts (doc){
var xmlString = new XML(doc.XMPString),
fontFamily = xmlString.descendants("stFnt:fontFamily"),
fontFace = xmlString.descendants("stFnt:fontFace"),
ln = fontFace.length(), i = 0, arr = [];

In older versions of Illustrator (8 & 10) I can change the lpi to a 20 or 30 with a GCC Elite XL printer and have no problem printing BIG dots on vellum paper for screen printing on T-shirts.
I'm running newer version (CS2) now, and I can set the halftone to 20 lpi, but when I print it to my HP 5si mx printer, it comes out looking as smooth as a paper printed dot can look! Not what I want!! I've tried changing all kind of settings, both on the printer menu, and in the print dialog box. But my HP seems to default to an 'enhanced' halftone dot!!! My GCC is getting really old, only has drivers for 8 & 10, and I need a back up in case it dies someday and I can't print those big dots anymore!
I can't update to newer (600 or 1200dpi) printers because I need to print at 300dpi so my dots come out looking big and bold. I know, I know, it's not what most people want these days, but it's what I n
When I go to print and select output, the mode selection is locked and I am unable to select separations. Using CS6.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to output dashed paths to a 3rd party device that will draw/cut those dash marks on material. I have found methods in the AI SDK that describe what the dash marks look like (ie GetPathStyle, etc).
But this requires me to perform all the calculations of where those dash marks actually appear along a path which Illustrator has already done (since it displays those dashes to the screen).
Is there a method(s) that already exists that I can call and it would return me the start and end points of each dash mark that appears on a path? I have started working on the code to do this but can see that it is going to get pretty involved and was hoping that this was already available in the sdk and I just missed it.
A customer sent us their label in an AI file. Trying to print this onto a 3 x 1 label (which is small), the output looks pixelated. Looks like the whole thing is a graphic rather than text.
I have attached an image of the label as an example. **Please note that the label is copyrighted. Please do not re-distribute or otherwise print.**
I am just trying to save a PDF from my illustrator file. However, when I go to Save as, and select PDF, no dialog box opens to allow me to set how I want the file outputted. IF I just hit enter, the file does save.. its just like the Dialog box is hidden or not appearing. The reason I need the dialog box is because I need to add bleeds to the PDF and my default save doesn't do that.

I am making a holiday greeting card. I have 16 very larged photo images "linked" (not embedded) into the card. The original images are very large (e.g. 4500 x 3000 px, 10mb) but I've placed them fairly small in the final card (only about 2" x 2" printed). Therefore, I likely don't need the full resolution of the original photos. I need to generate a final file that I can send to an online print shop, something that is ideally 10-25Mb in size, probably pdf. How to prepare the final file for export to pdf to generate as such? Right now, the final file is 275Mb because it is embedding the full size of each of the 16 images.
I'm on Illustrator CS6 on Mac.

When I go to file info, to edit meta data, It opens the window however nothing loads its just a blank window. Illustrator hasn't frozen it just stops loading the option and wont allow me to close it. The only way to do anything is to force quit and start again.

The file import code reads the data and then passes the bounds data to the art routine, CreateDataArt, as minv and maxv. As can be seen (abRect) the bounds of the data are 13 mm wide by 14 mm top to bottom. Two paths are then drawn into the artboard as shown here:
Note that the rulers are in millimeter units and that the art board is nowhere the correct size.
I received files from a freelance designer in Illustrator CS5 format, but my company only has CS4. Although she saved the files for CS4, I still have problems with data loss, for example all the text is broken up into separate text blocks, the layers are lost, the items are all in a clipping masks, objects are randomly grouped together, etc. is there any way to convert the file without data loss?

Essentially, this is what I'd like to achieve:
1) Style/design a graph in Illustrator
2) Import spreadsheet data into Illustrator graph (a step I'm also haveing problem with - is it possible to import an entire Excel doc or do you have to copy and paste each cell individually)
3) Import Illustrator graph into Indesign
4) If original data in Excel is changed/updated and the document is saved, data will update in Illstrator and therefore in InDesign.
I would like to open a file dialog box seltect a CSV text file saved from Excel and import this into an array/variable/dataset in adobe illustrator using javascript. Have done some work with javascript but not a power user. Can't work out how to get the open dialog to appear.
Long term aim would be to use the data to plot a path which seems straighwforward enough, its the getting the info in bit I'm stuck on.
You do have to be able to select the file to import, this bit quite important.
I create pie graphs in illustrator for a financial sevices group. Every month when I update the data the format and colour of the graph distorts. I am spending too much time manually fixing the graphs.
