Is it me or is 'save for web' totally broken in Illustrator CS6, when saving a file with a space in the filename? First it says the file already exists (whether or not this is the case) and when I click 'replace' it just doesn't do anything. Tried with different files, even after relaunching Illustrator.

I'm trying to add some efficiencies to larger projects buy reducing the number of steps required to export to pdf. I'm looking to add a custom file name to the string.

However, I'm experiencing problems with the following code that I have modified. The below code is adding "_OUTLINES_PRINT" as a prefix, rather than a suffix.
function getTargetFile(docName, ext, destFolder) {
var newName = "_OUTLINES_PRINT";
if (docName.indexOf('.') < 0) {
newName = docName + ext;

I installed Adobe CS6 on a new Windows 7 64 system. When I try to save for web (64 or 32), I get the error "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error [CANT]".
Somebody suggested that the problem is that I lack the correct runtimes, or they need updating? But WHAT runtimes? MVSC 2008? MVSC 2010? .NET? What version or versions of .NET?
Say I draw a simple square in Illustrator CS6 then export it to a PNG using Save for Web. The preview shows 1px thick of white space on the right side. Sometimes it's on 2 sides or more.
No other hidden elements are around the image. Clip to artboard in not clicked.
I have an AI file that I wish to save as a mask for an app.
The image has to be:
Format: PNG
Color space: Gray
Alpha Channel: No
I have set the following for my AI file: Document raster effect settings: Colormode: Grayscale
I have changed Edit -> Edit colors -> Convert to grayscale (but the "Convert to grayscale" text is not grayed out the next time I look in the menu, problem?)
I then save the file for Web and Devices as a PNG-24 or PNG-8 (Grayscale, no dither) but no matter how I save it the file info still says that the "Color Space" of the file is RGB. I can't get it to save the file with Color Space: Gray.
We have a few iMacs here all running 10.8.4 - we have PhotoShop CS 5.5 and all the artwork etc is saved on a shared server ( Windows 2008 r2) and we are forever getting these problems......
Only in photoshop we get the following error message......
"Could not save [filename] because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privilege. Use the 'Get info' command in the finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders"
For many years I have been edit photo montages in Premiere Pro. When I would find a photo that needs retouching so I would open Photoshop, retouch the pic, save it, and the new image would magically appear on the PPro timeline. But in my CS6 suite, I get the error message "Could not save "filename" because file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file".
And this only happens when PPro is still open, regardless of where the CTI is on the timeline, or which pic on the timeline is selected. I never had this problem with any other versions of PPro and Photoshop. I don't want to shut down PPro everytime I need to retouch a pic.
I'd like to change the filename of a part before it's first save.The code would look somewhat like below.
Private Sub m_appEvents_OnNewDocument( _ByVal DocumentObject As Inventor._Document, _ByVal BeforeOrAfter As Inventor.EventTimingEnum, _ByVal Context As Inventor.NameValueMap, _ByRef HandlingCode As Inventor.HandlingCodeEnum) _Handles m_appEvents.OnNewDocumentDim oDoc As Inventor.DocumentDim Name1 As String = "New Filename...."oDoc = DocumentObjectoDoc = oDocoDoc.PropertySets("Design Tracking Properties").Item("Part Number").Value = Name1oDoc.DisplayName = Name1oDoc.FullFileName = Name1.
The code partly works when opening a template but doesn;t work when create a an in place component or frame generated part? What do I need to modify to catch and change the filename before it's saved?
in Autocad 2012 whenever I want to make a PDF from a DWG I use the Autocad builtin DWG to PDF, but it wont suggest the filename anymore. When I use pdfcreator is will suggest the filename, but i dont have the correct paper sizes,
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am used to copying filenames into the save as window ... it is more accurate and mroe efficient than typing them. When I upgraded to CS1 and CS3, I can not do this, either on Snow Leopard or on Win7. How do I regain the ability to do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have recently purchased a new desktop under WIN 7 as well as Adobe Creative Suite CS6.My first internal hard disk is 2 TB, the second one installed is from my old PC, 250 GB.
I am getting this error when trying to save a file over an existing file using the “Save” command.The message is wrong, because the filename IS valid. This error is persistent.This error does not occur when doing the same action on my second internal hard disk.This error happens on files larger than about 1MB in weight.
What happens is that the original file over which I try to do the ”Save” command gets corrupted and lost.If I don't use the “Save as” command to save my work under a different name, my work is lost.The same problem occurs with both PS CS6 versions, 64 Bit and 32 Bit.
I am using Paintshop Pro X2. I've created a script that goes something like this.
1. Save original size as jpg in folder 1.
2. Resize 50%
3. Save as jpg in folder 2.
4. Resize 100x77
5. Save as jpg in folder 3.
6. Close file.
Everything works great except for one thing. During the save as operations the script remembers the original file names from when I record the script. Is it possible to replace that old static file name in the script with the file name of the current image?
I have just installed AutoCAD 2006 on a new PC, and for a while everything seemed fine. However when I save a drawing it comes up with the following:
Unable to save to drawing (path and filename).
Drawing saved to (path)savAE01.tmp
It allows me to saveas without a problem.
If I come out of AutoCAD and try to open the file I attempted to save, it is visible in the file list, but a message pops up saying:
Cannot find the specified drawing file. Please verify that the file exists.
I can rename the .tmp file to a .dwg file and it opens, but then if I try to qsave it, the same thing happens.
Whenever I want to save my DWG to PDF I use the builtin pc3 from Autodesk. Normally when I use it, the filename of the dwg is suggested as name for the pdf. But now this is empty and when you have to save 20-30 pdfs a day this is a pain to type over the names everytime. When I use PDFcreator however, it does suggest the name correct, but then I dont have the correct paper sizes.
View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to write a lisp command, or function, that will save my newly created drawing with a file name is that is called up from a variable.
For example:
(setq filename variable)
(command "saveas" "r14" "filename")
and i would want the outcome to be: variable.dwg, rather than filename.dwg. I have tried numerous different ways of doing this with command prompt and cant seem to get anything to stick. Everything that works just creates a file named "filename.dwg", which is not what i want to do.
An application that will let me choose a group of Drawing files (.idw) and perform "Save Copy As" to a PDF format on them. The Filename of each Drawing should be extracted from a custom Parameter I embeded in the IDW file.
I know I can use the Task Manager with a virtual PDF Printer to create these files, but then the PDF Filename will equal the IDW Filename, and I want it to be derived from the custom parameter I prepared inside the drawings.
When using save copy as to make an identical part with a different number, the file name in the top and the browser doesn't update to the new filenumber. only in the bottom file tabs is the name correct. if I go to file> save as I can also see the new filename. This is a hassle when doing this to multiple files in an assembly, as it makes it hard to keep track of which parts have been given a new name. It seems the filename input in the browser is only written once, and that is when the first file was saved for the first time.
View 7 Replies View RelatedOne difficulty that I experienced today was an inability to save my file in Photoshop R7.0
I imported a pdf file and began working on it. When I tried to save it as a psd file the following message came up;
"Could not save as C:folderfile1.psd because the file is already in use or left open."
I had to lose the file, so then I tried a regular jpg and the same message came up when I tried saving it. Then I closed and re-opened photoshop. I drew some lines on a blank canvas, and attempted to save. Now the same message came up again.
Do you know what would cause this? Do I have to re-install Photoshop?
I am getting this error every time i try to save a drawing as PDF :
Published with a warning(s) Cannot create font
As you can see the font has no name so I can't install any missing font.
I found out that this error occurs only in drawings created from the company template wich I believe was created years ago. If I use any other template from inventor everithing is ok.
Now no save for web operation completes due to an error "Could not complete this operation. An unknown operating system error has occured."NOTHING has changed on the system.
I've trashed Photoshop pref... all of them.I've reinstalled the Mac OS 10.7.5 combo update.I've rebooted to a different drive and repaired disk and permissions (no issues found).I've Safe Booted.I've disabled ALL plug ins.
Uninstalling and will reinstall/update to see if that works.

I've looked around for this but haven't found much. I have a server with thousands of print proof sheets, and since the beginning, long before me, the files were saved with verbal descriptive names. It would be a lot better if they were saved according to the PO number. All the proof sheets have a po number listed in pretty much the same place on the sheet... is there a way to copy that PO number from the field within the pdf, and save the file to a new folder using that number as the filename using a script?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have been looking for a solution to automate a printing and ordering process. I have a design template with 2 pages both 8.5x11 in size. One page represents the front and other the back for double sided printing. I have 6 different images per sheet so in my links panel I have 12 total links, 2 of each. I was wondering if there is a script to update all the links with the same filename with other image? Currently I have to search through all the images and update each one.

I have Adobe CC on a Mac 10.6.8. Illustrator has just stopped launching. It bounces a few times, then stops. No error message. I have:
- restarted my machine
- updated the Illustrator CC
- restarted application deleting preferences
- deleted my Wacom drivers (even though they were up to date)
- I do not have any 3rd party drivers
I have just updated Illustrator CC to v17.1 and now it will no longer launch.There is a bouncing icon in the dock for about a second and then no activity, no warnings or errors.My mac is quite old (MacPro5.1 Quad-core running osx 10.6.8) which may well be the problem.Never the less Illustrator 17.0 ran perfectly well prior to the update.
Uninstalling Illustrator 17.1 and reinstalling v17.0 works.If Illustrator is allowed to update as recommended it no longer launches.Is there something in the update that prevents my older spec mac from running it?

I am trying in Illustrator 64 on Windows through a plugin to open document and get the documents setup.My code is as follows.
I first acquire the required Suites ( AIDocument, AIDocumentList, AIFilePath etc ) and all the Suites are acquired with NO Errors and have valid pointers
AIErr err = kNoErr;
//Get the page information
AIDocumentHandle theDocument;
ai::UnicodeString uniPath( "C:\test.ai");
ai::FilePath fpath(uniPath) ;
err = sAIDocumentList->Open( fpath, kAIUnknownColorModel,kDialogOff,
false, &theDocument );

I have also tried using AIDocument->GetDocument and AIDocumentList->Activate both after opening the document and they also return DOC?, though the theDocument Handle returned by open document appears to be valid.
Just started a pen tool exercise in illustrator, at some point while using the pen tool I don't know why or how it happens but my screen stops "updating", "refreshing" or "drawing" while I drag it with the hand tool. What I mean is that if I start dragging with the hand, the rulers move as normal, but anything inside just stays a still picture and only when I release the mouse button is the screen changed to where I have dragged. Although the very edges of the artboard/workspace near the rulers behave normaly, I can see bits and pieces flying past there, but it's like there's this big square at the center of my screen that is a still image.
The problem is only inside Illustrator, the rest of my computer and screen behave normally.
I am using Windows XP SP 3, all updates 'n' stuff.
The background is a gradient mesh(ignore the crosses). I used eyedropper tool(shift-click/normal-click both gave the same result) on the background and it gave me a strange result. As you see the back ground is blue-to-black gradation but the color picked is green-ish from nowhere.
View 8 Replies View RelatedUsing transform tool to rotate, often gradients do not rotate. In the example below only the "w" gradient did. Good news is the rotate tool works fine.
Appears this has something to do with compound paths, as this normally does not happen on a new single path. Releasing the compound also rotates the gradient unexpectedly.
