Request for Custom Illustrator 2020 (v24) Plugins to Automate Sewing Pattern Recreation
These plug-in's will be used specifically for accurately recreating sewing pattern pieces and directions.
I’m looking to have a custom plugin developed for Adobe Illustrator 2020 (version 24) to streamline and automate specific, repetitive tasks related to recreating sewing pattern pieces and directions from scanned images. The functionality I need includes:
Plugin #1: Text Recognition and Replacement on curves and multi directions.
This plugin should:
Detect rasterized text from a placed scan, even when the text appears at various angles or along curved paths. Accurately identify and isolate text, ignoring any lines or markings drawn through it. Replace the rasterized text with editable live text using a specified font. Maintain the original orientation and curvature of the text from the scan. Support auto placing the text along curves and ensuring it remains fully editable.
Plugin #2: Smooth Line Tracing for Pattern Pieces
This plugin should:
Automatically detect and trace the line work from sewing pattern scans. Convert raster lines into smooth vector stroke paths, closely mimicking the quality and appearance of hand-drawn lines using the Pen Tool.
Produce clean, production-ready strokes and curves, suitable for professional pattern work. Significantly outperform Illustrator’s native Auto Trace tool, which does not offer the precision or smoothness needed.
Plug-in #3 Text Box OCR Plugin for Pattern Instructions
In addition, I need OCR functionality that can:
Read text from scanned pattern instruction blocks or columns. Convert the scanned text into live, editable text boxes (The plug-in needs to recognize multi many columns) with a chosen font. Preserve the original column width and layout—keeping the structure as close to the scan as possible. Avoid breaking text into fragmented pieces or lines, which is a common issue with existing OCR tools in Illustrator.
This will streamline my workflow significantly. Ideal candidates should have:
- Experience with Adobe Illustrator plugin development
- Proficiency in automating tasks within Illustrator
- Knowledge of version 24 specific features and limitations (If I need to upgrade illustrator to get better results I will). but i like working in 2020 best.
Please note the sewing patterns usually have bumpy lines (hand drawn in the 1900's) and old typewriter bookman text in the scans. The plug-ins must be able to recognize this old typewriter text and shaky lines.
If you can achieve in making these plug-ins please bid for each plug-in or all but be specific on which one you can achieve. Thank you!
