Illustrator :: How To Open Swatch Libraries On Start-up
Nov 8, 2013I'd like my company color palette to be present when I create a new document.
I've tried saving the a color group as .ase but when I try and open my user defined swatch library, it's not clickable. That's a workaround for what I want anyway. It seems like there used to be an option called "persistent" in older versions but how do I get my colors to automatically appear when I'm using CC?
Lightroom :: Cannot Open Because Cannot Locate Original File
Aug 9, 2012I made a dumb mistake when I first started using LR and I thought files once downloaded into the catalogue were saved and accessible. I removed the files from bridge and now I cannot open them in my catalog. My photos will show up in LR, but the message says "cannot open because cannot locate original file"
I can SEE them, I just can't do anything with them. Is there anyway to recover these files?
Illustrator Scripting :: Importing Color To Swatch Library From Text File
May 19, 2010I have a large list of custom colors in Excel that has the color name and CMYK breakdown of each color. I'm looking for a way to import this information to create a custom Color Swatch Library. That will have the name of the color and the CMYK breakdown. So that I can easily use in Illustrator and Photoshop. Is there any way or application in doing this with out manually entering the information and creating a new library?

Jan 17, 2013Every time I open an image in Illustrator, it is 3-times smaller than the original image started out. For example:
An image starting out with the dimensions:
Width: 5.35 inches / 1070 px / 385.2 pt
Height: 5.24 inches / 1048 px / 377.3 pt
Once it is opened up in Illustrator the dimensions are contorted to:
Width: 1.93 inches / 386 px / 139 pt
Height: 1.89 inches / 378 px / 136.1 pt
And this is just from opening the image. I have not done anything as of yet. All I have to look at is a distorted pixelated mess. Why Illustrator is doing this to my image files and how do I get it to open image files with the proper dimensions?
Illustrator :: How To Open Files As Layers In Open File
Mar 1, 2013I'm working with both Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 on a mac. I'm creating a graphic. The background is a (cartoonish) mouth and I finished it a couple of days ago. (It's an Illustrator file.) I've been working on the letters to go inside of the mouth, (Once I'm finished it'll look as though they're being crushed.) I scanned and edited small wooden letters in Photoshop, and now I would like to work with them with the background in Illustrator. I understand how to open a Photoshop file in Illustrator, but I don't want to open the document as a separate Illustrator file. Is there a way to open a file from Photoshop as a second layer?
Some of the letters repeat as well. Will I have to create two files for this, or can I open the same file twice?
Illustrator :: Error / The File Is Not Readable When More Than One File Open
Feb 20, 2013Get this error when I try to open more than one file. Happens on different files, but especially on jobs that have side panels on packaging. The files have placed .psd images. Happens on different computers (10.6 & 10.8.2).
Can get the file open usually by closing the othere open file, but then is hard to copy and paste between files. Sometimes I get this when trying to open one file, but restarting Illustrator usually fixes this.
Have tried working directly from the hard drive, and still get this problem. Does to follow an exact pattern, can try to open file a, then b one day thsi will work another will fail. Seems like something is corrupting the memory, and usually happens with more complex files. Happens in CS5 & CS6, though I mostly work in CS5.
Illustrator :: How To Unlock A Swatch On CS5
Apr 11, 2013I opened a PDF in Illustrator and it has 4 Spot color swatches. Two of them will not delete or let me alter them and I need to change them to CMYK. I've tried reopening the document, restarting my computer and copying and pasting everything into a new document. Nothing has worked for me. I've also tried selecting everything, and going to Edit > Edit Colors > Convert to CMYK ... and then making a new color group (with global checked.) Still won't let me edit the two problem swatches. I then went to "Select all unused" from the swatch panel (thinking they would at least get selected because all of the colors should link to my new global color group) and the two problem swatches did NOT get selected. I've tried deleting all the links (thinking maybe the spot color was tucked in an eps file or something.) No objects are locked and none of the layers are locked.

Illustrator :: Disappearing Swatch Library?
Apr 15, 2011I frequently use Pantone solid coated colors in my work, and have to open that palette anew each time Illustrator has been restarted. I know that in CS4 I could keep that palette available, but I haven't been successful doing the same in CS5. I have saved my workspace, but the Pantone palettes disappear when Illustrator quits.

Illustrator :: Cannot Delete Colour Swatch In CS 5.5
Jul 3, 2012I can not delete some of the swatches (PMS colours) from the dock. I've tried to search for any artwork that may contain the colour, but I could not find anything. When I open Swatch Options it only lets me change Color Mode. Swatch name and color type are greyed out no matter what color mode I choose. I've tried to copy and paste the artwork in a new document, restart Illustrator but the problem persist.
I work on Mac OS x 10.6.8..

May 10, 2013swatch that I have created in illustrator. Once the swatch is applied as a fill there is a white line surrounding the original pattern. I have read other blog posts about the issue that state that the lines are just on screen and dissapear when you export as a PDF and when you print. I printed the design today at three different scales (100%, 40%, 20%) and all showed a white line but only on the horizontal axis. Both horizontal and vertical lines are visible when exported as a PDF. The original design is vector.
Here is a screen shot of the design from my computer:
Here is a photo of what the design looked printed (notice that the white lines are ony visible on the vertical axis):

Illustrator :: Saving Pattern Swatch ASE
Aug 5, 2013I wanted to save a pattern swatch and not the whole swatch library so I deleted all the swatches until it was just the one pattern swatch. I saved it as an .ase and then opened it in another document. I noticed however that when I open the pattern in the other document it shows the default swatch library and no pattern swatch. When I save the swatch as an ai. it opens the default library as well as the pattern swatch. Is there a way to save just the pattern swatch?

Feb 11, 2014Is there anyway in JavaScript to replace one swatch with another?
I've seen other posts where similar questions have been asked, but the solution seems to involve iterating over all the pageItems, testing and then changing the fillColor.
All I want to do is delete/replace a specific color. Say replace Yellow with Green.
Is there a way of doing this without recursing through all of the page items?
Illustrator Scripting :: Get Swatch Name For Character?
Feb 28, 2012I'm needing to loop through each character of a text frame and check the color of each character. Is it possible to get the swatch name of each character? Or can you only get the red, green, blue values?

But I can't figure out how to get the swatch name of the character this way?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIllustrator :: CS6 - Convert Swatch To CMYK
Nov 13, 2013I am working in Adobe Illustrator CS6 and InDesign CS6.
When I create a swatch using Pantone colour books (solid coated) and then convert the swatch to CMYK the values differ between programs and also differ to my hard copy of Pantone Colour Bridge.
I have followed the Workaround 1 on [URL]...which was useful - now the CMYK values produced in Illustrator and InDesign match HOWEVER they still differ from my hard copy of Pantone Colour Bridge.
I copied the leagacy files from CS4 - is it possible the CMYK values embedded in these files are out of date or is it possible that the CMYK values in the Colour Bridge book have since changed?
Illustrator :: Custom Swatch Library Isn't Updating In CC
Jan 17, 2014I have a big custom swatch library that I'm continually making additions and corrections to. I have it set as persistent, and the library works fine, but it doesn't update when I make changes to it. As far as I can tell, it's still stuck at the point where I upgraded to CC a few months ago. I've tried unchecking persistent, closing the library and Illustrator, then reopening and reinstalling the library, and it's still reverting to the old version.
