As the name states this module will import Adobe Illustrator files as structured
drawings that can be edited. The module was written to handle the Adobe
Illustrator 1.1 file commands, although it will work with Adobe Illustrator 88
files also (most of them anyway).
The Adobe Illustrator files can be in ascii format, IBM EPS format, or Mac
binary (with a Mac file header on it).
Line color is supported by adding the color to documents pallete with a name
like 'Adobe00000000', where the 00's represent the CMYK values (0-255) in the
color. Gray line colors (as specified by the G operator) are added as
percentages of black with 0% cyan, magenta, and yellow.
A gray scale fill color is supported by specifying a percentage of black
(20% black) and will not add the fill color. If the fill color is not a gray
scale color then the color will be added the the color palette
Text is ignored.
As usual, if you find any files that will not come in properly please upload
them to the Soft-Logik BBS or mail them to us on a disk so we can figure out
why they fail to load and fix the module if neccessary. Thank you.
With version 2.0 of the OS the "version" command has gained some new talents.
Whereas it used to only work on libraries, it now works on any file. It will
look for a "version string" inside a file and print it out to the CLI if it
finds it. A "version string" has been added to many of the new import modules.
This makes it very easy to find out what version of the import module you have.
From a CLI just type "version <module name>" and press return. You no longer
have to load up PageStream and look at the import requester for the version
number.
As with all the modules, if you come across some pictures that will not load
or crash when importing, please upload them to our BBS or mail them to us on
a floppy disk with an explaination of the problem. We will try them and fix
the import module if appropriate.
Thank you,
