Illustrator Scripting :: CS6 PlacedItems Relink Method - Sometimes Producing Error

Mar 21, 2014

I am creating a script on illustrator CS6 that will loop through all the images and relink these images to there current location, it is used to update all of the links in the file. However sometimes when i run this script i will get the error 376('x ') i have searched for the meaning of this and cannot find it anywhere. It is being written in extendscript, the code i am using is shown below:
 
// execute the main function
main();
// Construct the main function
function main() {
        var retVal = "OK";
[code]....

Illustrator :: Relink Images Using Replace() String Method?

Oct 23, 2012

I have a script using the dynamic content plugin from illustrator which takes and XML file and replaces it with a new one. All linked text/symbol/image links have their paths updated or text content updated.
 
The problem I have is I have background images which are not dynamic so I need to relink these based on their file path.
 
We have two shares, an OPI & an FPO, because of the size of backgrounf images we keep the FPO links in whilst artworking.
 
What I'd like to do is relink all images if they contain FPO in their file path, I'm in CS5.1. I had a look and found CS6 has a .relink method but obviosuly this is no use to me in CS5.1

Illustrator Scripting :: Relink Many Files At Once?

Jul 25, 2013

I'm using Illustrator CS6.  I have an artboard with 200 of the same placed file.  I now want to use this same layout for 30 other views, they are the same size, but different images.  If I relink them I have to click through each one.  I tried using a script I found on here by Carlos:
 
#target Illustrator 
// script.name = relinkAllSelected.jsx;
// script.description = relinks all selected placed images at once;
// script.required = select at least one linked image before running;
// script.parent = CarlosCanto // 7/12/11;
// script.elegant = false;

[code].....
 
and I get an
 
error 25:  Expected: }.
Line:10
->  p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 12.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Times}
 
I'm on a mac, os x 10.6.8.  and I copied the script into the script preset folder so its starting  from the drop down menu.  Don't think I'm leaving anything out.  I'm swapping 1 placed(linked) PDF for another.

Illustrator Scripting :: Relink Multiple Images And Link Filename To Artboard

Jan 21, 2014

I 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 6 artboards dividing the 8.5x11 sheet proportionatly. Each artboard represents a different order. Is there a script to write the linked filename to the bottom corner of each artboard?

Illustrator Scripting :: Simple / Direct Method To Identify Index Of Selected Item In List Box

Jul 16, 2013

I can't seem to figure out a simple/direct method to identify the index of the selected item in a list box.

I feel like I'm missing something, but I can't seem to figure which (if any) property returns an index number if you use it with the .onChange callback for a ListBox.

The following code accomplishes what I need but isn't particularly efficient or elegant and can get muddled if you introduce multiple lists to check.

Any way to duplicate this same behavior with better code
 
var res = "palette {text: 'Example List', properties:{resizeable:true}
pnl: Panel{orientation: 'row',preferredSize: [400,600],
list1: ListBox{preferredSize: [400,550], properties:{multiselect:true,numberOfColumns:2, showHeaders:true,columnTitles: ['List 1', 'Subitem 0']}},
}}"

[Code]...

VideoStudio :: Audio Relink Error

Sep 2, 2011

I have successfully made 20 AVCHD disks in the past 3 months with mp4 format and now have issues. New problem(s):

When I go to create a video file, I choose MPEG4 - HD. I typically have 20-25 minutes of vidoes (720 and 1080), pictures, sound, and crossfade transitions. It renders through the 99% but no new file is created. In addition, I have noticed two other issues/items which could be related. One, the mp3 audio files have a yellow icon and this error appears "Original file [et theme.mp3] doesn't exist.". Two, the video file thumbnails in the Library now have two icons; the normal one identifying it as a video and now a second icon that looks like two.

Illustrator Scripting :: Getting Error 1302 - No Such Element Line

Oct 5, 2012

I am getting an error with a script i have used before without any problems.The script updates the only image at the bottom of a single page PDF and saves the changed PDF in another folder.
 
It asks me to locate the folder of PDFs to be modified.It asks me to locate the folder where the modified PDFs will be saved.It asks me to select the new image that will be used.It will then update the image and resizes it and save the PDF in the specified folder.
 
I don't get this error on all PDFs but i get it at least once every 10 PDFs  (and there are over a 1,000 PDFs).The error i get is this:
 
Error 1302:No such elementLine:27->      rip=doc.rasterItems[0].position;
 
I get this error regardless of whether the script is run in CS3 or CS5.

Additional info.I ran this script in CS3 and it worked. At a later date i ran another script on the folder of modified PDFs in CS5 that deleted any unnessesary elements outside the artboard, it selected All on the Artboard - then inversed the selection - and deleted any selected items followed by save and close.I have tried making sure the "new" image has the same name as the image being replaced but this made no difference.I am using Illustrator on Vista.
 
The script is below:
 
#target illustrator
function replaceImage() {

Illustrator Scripting :: Restart Through Script (or Eliminate PARM Error)

Aug 10, 2012

I'm working on a javascript that goes through a folder, rasterizes the paths inside each file, and saves the results as separate files in another folder. My script works fine on individual files as well as for several simple files. However, once it gets going on some of the big ones, it starts to give me PARM errors.
 
Illustrator CS5.1Windows XP, SP3 (work computer)JavascriptThe CAD export that created the pdf and eps files broke any curves into tons of tiny straight lines. As a result, these drawings can have 15-35 thousand paths per image. 

Get the source and destination directoriesOpen a file from the source directoryGo to the first layer of the fileLoop through all text items to move them to their own layerLoop through all path and compound paths to move them to a groupRasterize the group of path itemsRepeat for the next layer and so onSave the file to the destination directoryRepeat the process for the next file and so on.The scripting guide suggests it could be from conflicting functions or global variables overwriting each other. However, my script is now entirely contained within its own function, and all variables are declared locally. Running from a clean illustrator and ESTK startup, it will still produce a PARM error after a few large files.
 
The guide also suggests having the script quit and re-launch Illustrator after working on many files. Since I assume these huge diagrams are probably several "normal" files' worth of objects each, I figured it probably just needs to restart Illustrator after x amount of stuff goes through. So I look in the guide's section on launching Illustrator through javascript. That basically says "Why would you ever need to do that?" I tried looking it up in the tools guide, but that document isn't very clear at all.
 
1. What would I have to do so Illustrator doesn't throw a PARM error on the line marked below? (besides just putting it in a try/catch and pretending it didn't happen) It doesn't consistently happen on the same file or even at the same point in the file, but always at that line.
 
This is just a tiny part of the script. objectClass is a placeholder for PathItems, CompoundPathItems, etc. Looping backwards and setting the group to null at the end were just experiments, neither of which had any effect on the error.
 
if(objectClass.length > 0){
    var objectGroup = myLayer.groupItems.add();
    for(var i = objectClass.length; i > 0; i--){
        objectClass[i-1].move(objectGroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING); //This one keeps breaking stuff.
    }
    sourceDoc.rasterize(objectGroup, rastBounds, rastOptions);
    objectGroup = null;
}
 
2. Failing that, how can I relaunch Illustrator through javascript? Or a limited amount of VBScript, though my knowledge of that is limited too.

Illustrator :: Relink Multiple Images At Once?

Aug 2, 2010

I manage a design department where we're constantly working with documents that have multiple placed and embedded images in each. As an example, we often have 10 instances each of 4 different images in a given document. These links are constantly changing and being updated on a per-client basis. My concern is that my designers waste a lot of time relinking these embedded graphics as the software prompts the user to relink each one individually. If the designer needs to replace 10 of the linked graphics with, say, "Royal Mahogany", they have to select all 10, select the relink option and specify the file they want to replace the graphic with by clicking on and placing the selected file for each instance of the graphic. So if they're replacing the links of 10 images, they have to select and place the desired file 10 times. Is there any way to select multiple placed images and replace them all at once? Note that the images we place into the file are stored in multiple locations on server, subdivided by material, manufacturer, color, finish etc.
 
My team is using CS3 mac version currently but we'll be upgrading to CS5 soon. This is a huge time-waster for my company.

Illustrator :: File Closes After Trying To Relink Images

Aug 8, 2012

I have been working with some illustrator files for a while and all of a sudden I cannot open them anymore. I do not even get an error message. I tried opening them on another computer. They open, but then when I order to re-link the images, the file just shuts down. The files are quite large, but even when I make them smaller (smaller then when they were before this problem started), I still cannot open them. I thought it might be related to the images, but also older files with no new images have the same problem.

Illustrator :: Relink UNC Path For Linked Images

Jan 31, 2013

We have thousands of files that contain linked images. These files exist in multiple locations and are kept in sync by dfs replication. Since illustrator uses unc path for links, the links that were created are slow to open for users at other locations and we would like to batch relink these files to a dfs namespace or unc path that better serves more users. I have already tested replacing the path in the files via find and replace using notepad but the link does not change when actually opened.

Illustrator Scripting :: How To Automate Importing Variable And Datasets Into Graphs Via Scripting

Dec 18, 2012

I'm try to automate the importing of the Varaible and datasets into my graphs via Scripting, but the ImportVaraibles() function doesn't seem to work.  Here is my Script, mostly copied from the example script provided with Illustrator (CS5).  And, this works manually, using the file names in the script, via Load Variable Library
 
    Set appRef = CreateObject(strIllistratorVersion)
   
       'Open the file and import the datasets
        Set docRef = appRef.Open(strTemplate & "200-500.ai")
        'docRef.Datasets.RemoveAll
        docRef.Variables("Yearbook").Delete
 
Here is the problem, after I delete the previous library, then this next line, right from the example, does nothing
The script then exits with 'No Datasets in this document'
       
docRef.ImportVariables (strXMLFolder & "Lumber_200-500.xml")
'appRef.DoJavaScript "alert('Template:" & strTemplate & strRange & ".ai  |  XML file:" & strXMLFolder & ""  & objFile.Name & "^')"
        If (appRef.Documents.Count > 0) Then
            Set docRef = appRef.Documents(1)

 [Code]....
 
If I remove that delete line, the script runs, but just uses whatever Variables I had last loaded, not the XML file.
 
It's simply not loading.  What do I need to do to get it to load?

Illustrator :: Correct Method To Add A Pantone Swatch?

Sep 13, 2012

My workplace works with both Digital and Print work and I wanted to know if how we're adding Pantone swatches is correct.
 
I'm using CS6 and I open the Pantone+ Swatchbook and add the Swatch from there. The Swatch is in the LAB Colour mode and I have "Use Lab values..." selected in the Spot Color Options Dialog.
 
My colleague, using CS5, opens her Swatches panel and selects New Swatch > inputs the CMYK Colour values from the Pantone+ printed book > selects Spot Color from the drop-down.
 
We're both working on the same documents, so when I open up her file, her colours look off to me. Specifically, Pantone 497 C - my brown is looking a red compared to her brown which is darker. When I open up my Swatch and change my Colour mode to CMYK, the values are completely different.
 
We'd like to understand which one of us is doing it wrong and which way we should go to streamline the colours to ensure that we're using the correct Pantone?
