I've got an exiting problem while trying to batch pdf export.
My task is quite simple: first, look through the drawing (all the lists and model space) and find all dynamic blocks with effective name "SheetGOST", case it's a drawing frame; second, export areas surrounded by those frames to pdf page by page. I've decided that plotting areas via "DWG To PDF.pc3" would be the easiest way.
Practically all the steps made: I get collection of blocks, I know howto print one of them to pdf, and it,s working correctly. The problem is, when I try to plot all the areas in cycle, in output pdf I get num of pages according to num of lists, and only the last area from the list. Test document contains 24 blocks on 3 lists, I get 3 page pdf with 7th, 22th and 24th frame printed.
The code is:
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
[CommandMethod("PlotToPdf")] static public void MultiSheetPlot() { Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument; Editor ed = doc.Editor; Database db = doc.Database; Transaction tr = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction(); using (tr) { List<GostBlk> BlocksToPlot = new List<GostBlk>(); List<Layout> LayList = new List<Layout>(); GetGostStampCollection(db, ed, tr, ref BlocksToPlot, ref [code]........
How do i select a path in an action when the paths of the multiple files have different names ? Now the action is interrupted because it cannot select the path due to its name.
I have done this a million times.. but now when I am running the batch program on one file, it is not changing the resolution to 72DPI. HELP!!!! lol. my current settings are 500x800 image quality 5 but it is still saving at 300dpi
I include a save as in action. I have to choose somewhere to save as right? So choose desktop. Only problem is that even though I tell photoshop in BATCH a new folder I want to save in, it still saves the whole batch job to desktop?
I am batching about 1200 images. They are all about 3 or 4 megs each. Need them at least 250K. I did a bunch of them (180) on my macbook and they took about 6 hrs. with 2 gig ram.
I have a photoshop cs2 and have created an action to be used for mutkiple files in one folder, but alas it seems to open up the jpeg file which
I used when recording the action and this is the only file it applies the action to even in batch or in " image process", does anyone know why this has got to occur?
I recently started an event photography company. The problem that I have is the large volume of pictures I need to adjust at the same time. Doing it one by one is really time consuming. In a nut shell: I need to but the name of the event on each picture as well as a color frame. Is there some kind of automation I can use?
Each time I batch process thumbnails in CS6 v13.1.2x64 I've noticed that the resulting thumbnails do not match the sequence of the original photos the thumbs are batched from.
Is this a fault with CS6 or a lack of communication between my Nikon, Mac and Adobe?
The original full sized photos are JPEG fresh out of the camera and havent been preprocessed. I will add that if I do apply batch filter to the full size photos, they too are pushed out of their original numerical sequence.
I have a brush set to do this but it is VERY time consuming. So, I need to find out how to design a copyright notice and then batch stamp it onto a folder of photos. I have tried and tired to figure this out but not getting anywhere. I am going to either to one across the middle very opaque or I want it down the side of the photo. Then I want to save the batch into a new file and keep the originals intact for printing, etc. I am using PhotoShop CS.
I am trying to make an Action that will apply a set of various (yet specific) changes to an image, and then apply that Action to an entire folder of images. I have created the action and when run manually it work great, but when I apply it to Automate - Batch, there is a "bug".
Currently, the Action will take the image and set the layer to BG, then it will save the original to a folder. It then will resize the image to a set width maintaining aspect ratio, save that to another folder. This all works great.
The last portion of the Action reduces the file to yet another width (maintaining aspect ratio), but it then applies a 1px stroke, and applies a dropshadow, at 120 degrees and 100 opacity. When I run the action on an individual image, this part works great, however when I batch this in a folder, all of the images get the dropshadow with a 30 degree shadow. Everything else works fine. The default settings for a shadow are 120 degrees, so I cannot figure out where this 30 Degree setting is coming from. Any help would be appreciated. I dont know if anyone will be able to read my action, but I will try to attach.
if it is possible to set a batch command that will only process tiff files that also have .fff's and .jpg's within the same folder.
I have 2500 images in 125 subfolders with all three formats in each folder. I know I can batch all the sub folders, but can I specify only one type of file?
I have trouble recording the brush strokes in PS CS2. The record action feature refuses to record brush strokes and similar actions. I tried to create a path and use the 'stroke path with brush' feature but it doesn't record the path. Any idea on how to get this working?
I'm trying to batch convert groups of photos to b&w. The action i want to perform involves 3 steps: 1)channel mix to b&w, 2)stop to do curves, dodge/burn,etc. and 3)finish b&w convert w/ hue/saturation. If i insert a Stop then PS does allow me to finish the action but it stops the batch. I need to do the Hue/Sat after adjustments b/c otherwise i get a color shift. If this makes sense,
I'm using Photoshop and the Fit Image command to resize my images for a slide show program. The slide show software does not offer the ability to place the image number anywhere on the image. Is there someway to write an action in Photoshop that will grab the image name and place it where I designate on the image? Even stretching the canvas and filling with black and placing the name there would work. I'm not sure if this is possible or if I need to find an Apple Script to do this.
On my old computer, which was a 2.8Gzh Pentium, older model toshiba, photoshop ran really slow, there wwere "lags" when i would click around in a big image. Not bad, but there.
My new computer screams when editing photos... it's a 3.4ghz with a gig of ram, 7200rpm drive etc.
Yet for some reason, batching files runs MUCh slower on the new machine. I've tried to figure out why but can't see anything. Same batch from the same action too. All I'm doing is this:
"Generate proofs" action"
open raw file
fit image to 450
create text later
write "proof"
change opacity to 45%
flatten
save
That's it. But ANY batch I do will run slow like this, not just this one. It's driving me crazy cuz just to batch proofs of about 40 images (about what I shoot for a given photo session) takes like 45min!
So I'm using a script that I wrote to bring in files that were converted from CorelDraw to EPS (this is the best conversion process to preserve text and drawing assets). Basically the script takes the art in the EPS, groups it, places a rectangular border around the art and centers them. We do this so that they come into InDesign correctly sized. The problem is, it used to be 100% automated, just about, however now the saveas action command will not remember that "Save as PDF Compatible" needs to be set to true. When I do a saveas command, it's check by default, but when the saveas command is batched, it does NOT do it that way. When I try to bring batched AIs into InDesign, it's text that says it was not saved as PDF Compatible. Am I going to have to script a save function to get control of the saveas settings? I don't understand why PDF compatible is checked by default, yet batching saveas saves as if it unchecked it.
Will Corel6 (or later) ever be able to export to a web page directly since the HTLM export doesn't work (drops links). The Corel Web program, or what ever its name is, was a joke. Its amazing that Corel work puts its name on a program that you could not open a CorelDraw file.
My current work around is to export to a JPG and then import that into dreamweaver and add the links there, then post. A pain but it works.
Win 8.1 64 bit A Toshiba Satellite laptop, LR 5.3. When I try to export I get a window without export buttons at the bottom to do the export. Further if I try to resize the export window the export window disappears and LR freezes requiring to ctrl/alt/del to close it. I cannot export anything to HD or email, etc.
I was in a class last night where everyone had Macs and the buttons appeared on their versions and worked fine. Totally repeatable. I can supply screen shots.
I've created various snapshots of a series of photos and I'm ready to export. Is there a way to export all the snapshots at once, in a single export step? Up to now, I've been doing this step by step, exporting one version of the image, than going to the next snapshot and exporting again.
Im using CS6 and in InDesign can see all of the text required. When I export to PDF, one line of text is not picked up, this is say line 4 of 8, all the other text is exported correctly. Then when I amend this section by adding text/changing colours, InDesign does not pick up my changes?
Using Map 3D 2010 I setup an FDO connection to Oracle and was able to successfully export 4 feature classes from a DWG file.
I'm now trying to export additional feature classes from other DWG files and they all bomb out with "Export did not succeed." I can't track down any log files and am not sure where to start digging on this.
this is my first post and have been using AutoCAD since R14 but actually just noticed this.
All layers in there are as exactly as they should be expect a few lines which are on 'LAYER 0' So I've exported the drawing by printing from DWG to PDF.
I've tried freezing the Dimensions but I have to freeze 'LAYER 0' to get rid of the ticks therefore freezing my lines also. Is this a bug in the software? Or me? Because its weird way the ticks have to be different then the rest of the dimension. Afterall it would be nice to freeze the Dims with one click and it also took me a while to figure out how to freeze them.
But, I always thought the ticks on dimensions belonged to the layer 'Defpoints' but when I export the PDF there is no 'Defpoints' So I exploded the dimension in AutoCAD and the tick does belong to 'LAYER 0'
Is there any system Variable to change the layer of them ticks so I don't have the same problem freezing Dimensions.
Any good method of successfully importing plans drawn up in Chief Architect in a usable form?
I've experimented with sending the 3D model a couple of times but it seems its not really usable. Too much information, or in a bad format, I don't know.
Chief Architect can export both dwg and dxf in 3D or 2D, but there are quite a few options, layer settings, line weight settings, etc that come into play.
I have been exporting my layout to a pdf and when I open on one computer it is fine, but when I open the pdf on another computer features are missing and I get an error message from adobe "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct this problem"
I have restarted the computers, renamed the file. What to do now.
Tell me the difference between using the print command to create a pdf and using the export to pdf command? advantages, disadvantages, etc? I'm finding that they act very differently when it comes to saving over an existing pdf file.
I am trying to export an idw to pdf and i get the error message "HGPMinchoE". I uninstalled inventor and reinstalled, but did not fix error. I am using Inventor Professional 2014.
