Illustrator SDK :: Notify Plugin That Have A Different Document
Feb 20, 2012
When working with multiple documents, and I switch from the "current" document to another, is there some way I have to notify my plugin that I have a different document, or does my plugin always ASSUME it is working on the "current" document. I ask this in conjunction with Dictionarys, as when I switch documents, I cannot access what I think is the dictionary for the current document. Is there some type of document-dictionary relationship I am missing ?

We can save the Ai Document as PDF through :
1. Save As -> PDF
2. File -> Scripts -> SaveDocsAsPDF
But I have a case where I need to save document through my plugin.Can we save the currently open document as a PDF file using the CS6 SDK ?

I work for a company where we deal with Illustrator CS5 pretty extensively, and one of the things we do most often is place text on certain art documents. We've been having issues lately (human error) where we've been missing that we have more text in a text box and we're forgetting to expand it. Obviously the easy answer is to keep a keen eye out for the little red plus sign and expand the text box as needed, but any script or a clever way to have Illustrator notify us that there's overset text or an unexpanded text box present in the documents we're working on? It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just anything that somehow notifies us of that little red plus sign being present.
I know there's a script out there that will expand a text box if there's overset text and you have that textbox selected, but if I already have the textbox selected I'm fairly sure I'm aware of the overset text.

I'm trying to get my plug-in to successfully load its commands only if certain parameters are met like a prefix in the DWG file name. (I know I would have to use GETSYSTEMVARIABLE("DWGNAME") ) I haven't been able to implement a restriction successfully.
Also, is there a way to load a plug-in only within the scope of a document and not the entire AutoCAD executable?
This way, if the user has open document A and it's not a valid document of use of the plug-in, he won't be able to use the commands, but if he loads document B with a valid format (name prefix), the plug-ing will automatically load for the document B instance only. Is this possible?
(Working with AutoCAD 2010 and .net 3.5)

I have a large library and one day i wanted to make sure that none of the files were corupt so I thought of an idea to export my entire library to see if i get a notification if any of my files didn't export. I could then check on those files to see whats wrong. But trying to export that many images caused lightroom to crash so I exported by year instead. Some years were fine, but others like 2011 for example, out of 13906 images, only 9824 exported. I would be ok with that if lightroom notified me which images didn't export. Normaly, when i try to export images that are ofline, lightroom will tell me which ones didn't export and say that they can't be found. How am i supposed to find those 4000 images that didn't export if i don't know what there file names are? I tried exporting the previews as a catalog and all 13906 exported fine. I updated my dng previews and I even genereated new standard sized previews as well. I also ckecked for missing images under Library/Find Missing Photos, and there were none missing.

When I do localization for illustrator plug-in on Windows, I found the method now I can use is generating one plug-in for each language. I only wan to create one plug-in which can link many language resources. If system language changes, the plug-in can auto load appropriate language resource.I can't find more information about localizaiton in illustrator SDK, what I found is IAILocale.h,but it seems that not enough...

Aome type of vector library plugin for Illustrator CS6. I need somewhere I can drag commonly used vector elements in illustrator (similar to that of the library in indesign), in the past I used dbpalette from Baby-Universe but they have no idea when its going to be updated, so I'm on the search for a replacement. I tried the symbol library but never had much luck with it. I'm on a MacPro running 10.8.3.

I've recently subscribed to Creative Cloud, and downloaded some of the new Creatie Programs, as Photoshop, Muse ands Illustrator.
I understand that Illustrator CC isn't compatible with some of my older plugins, but i don't understand that instead of simply avoid loading them, it CRASHES too! That issue forces me to find the plugin that was guilty of the crash, remove it from the plugins folder, and then start again.
This has happened me twice: with the font agent pro autoactivation filter, and with the inkling sketch manager of wacom
I must insist: what really annoyes me is the fact that the program crashes instead avoiding the loading of the outdated plugin.
Will this have a patcj in future versiones,?

After reinstalling multiple times, uninstalling Wacom drivers, etc. -- tracked it down to a plugin.The newest update for AI CC is not compatible with the Silhouette Studio plugin.
Not a happy camper over lost time and productivity, but fortunately I had my CS5 disks.

I perform certain actions within its handler menu goМenuItem - delete some objects; do other invisible; run through certain actions by PlayActionEvent(), e.t.c. then export the file again through PlayActionEvent("adobe_exportDocument" ...) and see that after all my activities were canceled - a document recovered to the initial state, and after each export and save the need to repeat the entire sequence again. Moreover, on some computers to export certain actions randomly do not work.

I have an Illustrator plugin which installs several tools. I want to have a panel pop up for each tool when the user selects a tool.
All the SDK examples I have seen create a main flex panel when the extension loads up. I do not want to any panel to appear when the extension is loaded. I want to load the extension and then popup panels only when a tool is selected.

I'm just starting out trying to make a plugin for Illustrator CC and have been a bit stuck the past few days, so I have a few questions. The plugin I'm trying to make would have it where when you mouse over a path, an annotation pops up to display the length of the path, reguardless of what tool you have selected.
The major question I have is if it is possible to make a plugin that runs in the background without having to select it as a tool?
I've been going over the SDK and guides and have tried altering the annotator sample project along with trying to make it from scratch, but I haven't gotten the results I want. I got Annotator to display the length of paths, but I can't remove it's tool properties or make it run like it's always selected. When I've been tryng to build from scratch, I don't see how to track the cursor since it seems to need the AIToolSuite. I've also tried to use AINotifierSuite with kAIArtSelectionChangedNotifier, but haven't gotten it to work correctly and it wouldn't work just by mousing over paths if I had.
Details:
OSX 10.9.1
XCode 5.0.2
Illustrator CC 17.0.0

I was wondering if there is a completions package with AI scripting properties for text editors like sublime text or textedit. I'm assuming no as I found nothing and I don't understand how to make one myself.
the extendscript toolkit is very slow for me. the data browser specially is very cumbersome to look through and referencing the pdf is no fun neither.

I've been working on embedding an Illustrator Live-Effect plugin to a new Illustrator CS5 plugin.One of the live-effects alters the text of text objects to use standardized abbreviations for place labels in maps.
I have ported the plugin using the exact same Live Effect name and the same parameter names to the live effect dictionary of the art.This in the hope that when I open the illustrator file in CS5 the effect will continue to work on converted text art.
But when I open an Illustrator 10 file in Illustrator CS5, the text object comes up with an "<Unknown>" live effect entry in the Appearance panel. And as the text is converted from legacy text to new ATE-text, the result of the live effect is also gone.
Studying the contents of the illustrator files, I find the following in the Illustrator 10 file
/BasicFilter :
(Abbreviate Text Labels...) 1 0 /Filter ,
(VisualMap Effects) /PluginFileName ,
(Abbreviate Text Labels...) /Title ,
/Dictionary : /NotRecorded ,
4 /Int (vmAbbrType) ,
[code]....
it isn't working because the name of the plugin file is different (or is it another reason?)It's a bit tricky because I have now combined several filters and live effects from several earlier plugins into a single new plugin.
It is easy to receive a notification upon opening a document and check if it's an earlier version of Illustrator.But how do I go about tracing the art tree to "upgrade" these live effects to the current plugin?
