Save As and Export in single action?

Is it possible to save an .ai file as a PDF and export it to a .dwg file in one step? Kind of like batch processing in PS?
Thanks,
Keith

I never even saw the Action window since it does not come up by defualt like in PS... can you tell I'm totally new to AI? lol Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Why does Mountain Lion not save 'Save', 'Save As' and 'Export' window sizes?

Every time I go to Export or Save a document, the window size resets and I have to constantly re-size it every time. It's quite annoying. Is there a way to change these default windows sizes permanently?

Just a guess. Maybe it is not required that the FP be opened but just loaded in memory before the save. In 6.1, find a property/method that requires the FP into memory (such as Edit Mode on Open) and use it before saving the VI.

How can we do save and export operation in single step using Plugin?

Hi all,
I want to save and export a design in Adobe illustrator to a specific folder using a plugin. For example i created a design called test , i want to save the test.ai and its converted jpeg form (test.jpeg) in to a specific folder using a plugin instead of using normal save and export operation (File ->Save, File->Export). I want to do the save and export operations in single step.
Is it possible to do using the plugin?
Thanks in advance
Sreejesh K V.

I have tried both option and still the file is not being saved
This is what i tried:
const char *fileFormatName="TIFF";AIDocumentSuite *sAIDocument;
std::string abc =
"D:\\Sreejesh\\test.tiff";ai::UnicodeString myString(abc);
ai::FilePath aiFile1(myString);
AIErr err = sAIDocument->WriteDocumentWithOptions(aiFile1, fileFormatName,
kFileFormatExport | kFileFormatWriteAs | kFileFormatWrite ,
false);
SPBasicSuite *aBasic = message->d.basic;
AIDocumentSuite *fSave;
aBasic->AcquireSuite (kAIDocumentSuite,kAIDocumentVersion, (const void**)&fSave);
const char *fileFormatName="Photoshop PSD Export";std::string abc =
"D:\\Sreejesh\\test.psd";ai::UnicodeString myString(abc);
ai::FilePath aiFile1(myString);
AIErr serror=fSave->WriteDocument(aiFile1,fileFormatName,

How to create a single action for adding a border and signature for portrait AND landscape images???

i would love to be able to create a single photoshop action for adding a border, plus a signature in the bottom right corner, that works for both portrait and landscape images.
need i say more?!
i already have an action that adds a signature in the centre of the border at the bottom of the image e.g. the image below. what i want though is for that signature to be on the RHS and for the same action to work for portrait images as well.
supplementary info: reason for this is that I want to be able to export 300 wedding images (mix of landscape and portrait images) from lightroom in my pre-selected order (meaning the files are labelled from 001 to 300, ordered according to how the wedding day unfolded) and then use PS to add the border and the signature, in the same place, and for it to work for both orientations.
i need this to work for full sized exported jpeg images, i.e. i want the files that i give on CD to my clients to include my signature in this manner. so I don't want to copy the initial layer and then reduce the second layer size to leave a border around the second layer.
i hope i've been clear and that someone can help me here. I think that this sort of presentation makes such a difference to final printed image, and I DONT want to have to go to all 300 images picking out the landscape from portrait ones (although this may be what I have to do and wouldn't really take that long but surely there's a better way!!!!).
Thanks in advance photoshoppers ...

It is actually quite easy to do if you have a good understanding of how Photoshop works. To be able to handle any size Landscape and Portrait you need to scale the document to a known width or height. Once the document is resized to the width or height it easy. When yot resize the document you use Image size with resample NOT checked. Not a single image pixels is changed all the happens is the documents DPI is set to the proper DPI resolution to print that size. This lets you add a border sized for and document. You can use Canvas Size check relative and leatve the anchor point centered and set width and height to 2" this will add 1"on all sides. Use Canvas size a second time move the anchor point to the top center check relative and set height 1" the will add an additional 1" border on the bottom. You then record a text layer with your Name title or what ever to the top left of the image. Select all ant the align the text layer to the selection to move it to the bottom right.
Adding a couple of scripts to the action you can make sure there is a background layer so the added canvas will be filled with pixels. You can restore the document to its original DPI resolution to retain the images print size. Down load my crafting actions package it contains a dozen scripts to be used within actions. There are text file with tips and guidelines additionaly there is one on dealing with document size and includes a sample action set with a watermarking action the can watermark and size image. The Action set is also saved as a text file with additional comments I added my downloads can be found here http://mouseprints.net/Photoshop.html

Can I simultaneously save a form as a PDF and export to Excel?

Can I simultaneously save a form as a PDF and export to Excel?

Regardless of your goal yes, it would be separate steps - but let me see if I understand what you want so I can explain better...
I am assuming you want to export the response data to Excel, this is an action from the "File" = "Export Responses" menu item and can export all of the response data to Excel at one time (also has the option of PDF or CSV). That would be done as one step, exporting to Excel. If you also wanted a PDF version of the table with all responses you could repeat that and select "PDF" the second time.
If you want PDF's of each individual response (you can "Download Response as PDF" which is a PDF that looks like the original form filled out) then that is also a separate step and has to be done individually for each response you want to download as PDF.
Thanks,
Josh

Help! Can't save to disc/backup my iTunes! NO OPTION to save OR back up to disc my iTunes Library appears in the toolbar when I select 'File', then 'Library'. Just 'Organize Library...', 'Export Library...', 'Import Playlist...', and 'Export Playlist...'

Help! I can't save to disc OR backup my iTunes Library! iTunes support instructions are to simply select 'File', then 'Library', then select 'Back Up to Disc', but when I try to the only options that appear are 'Organize Library...', 'Export Library...' then below those are 'Import Playlist...' and 'Export Playlist...' (which appears in the list, but I cannot select). No option to save my library appears at all. Just those four. I've had no problems syncing, playing, adding or purchasing with my account and my iTunes version is up to date. Can anyone tell me what the problem is and what I should do so I can save my library?

I am unable to create an Action to Export from .ai to .psd. The OPEN and EXPORT steps in the Action

I am unable to create an Action to Export from .ai to .psd.
The steps in the Action such as Open and Export seem inextricably linked to the file from which the original Action was recorded.
The steps in the Action do not seem to be generalized commands that I can apply to any folder of .ai files.

I'd recommend to exactly describe what you're doing. How did you set up your action? Which settings did you choose in the Batch Process dialog? What exactly went wrong? What did you expect instead?
Whatever issues you're suffering from, there is no way to provide a hasty answer and no way to give an elaborate answer without knowing the details.

Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The file is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes.

Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The temporary file it saves is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes. I have been able to locate the file using GrandPerspective and close out of FCP to delete it. But when I try exporting the movie again it creates the ICMMultiPassStorage file again. I have made sure my scratch disks are set to my external hard drive so I know that isn't the issue. How do I fix this problem so these temporary files are not being stored on my internal hard drive instead of my external?Thanks!

Try exporting the timeline "using current settings" via Make QuickTime Movie, then submit that clip to Compressor for the transcode. This should be faster and less painful.

HT4075 I don't have any problems merging the documents by dragging, but when I try to save and open afterwards, only the last shown doc was saved, not the combined files I wanted to merge. I tried save and export, how can I create the file after merging?

Hi, I'm having trouble saving the documents when merging in Preview. I don't have any problems merging the pdf documents by dragging them in preview, but when I try to save and open afterwards, only the last shown doc was saved, not the combined files I wanted to merge. I've tried save and export, but none merge the documents after saving... how can I create the file (with all the pdf files) after merging?

That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.

GarageBand file crashes entire application, every time. How can I undo my last action so I can open it and export what I have?

I have an ENTIRE song that I just finished, thought I would add a drum loop track just to see what it sounded like with my natrual acoustics.
Apparently that was an awful idea! Adding the track crashed the whole program, and no matter what actions I take I can't get that single file to reopen. I've checked all over the web for possible answers, but no one has ever gotten this particular problem figured out (from what I can find).
I don't want to overload you guys with all the raw error report data unless you need it, so just let me know if that's something I should bother to post!
Really, I just want a way to get rid of that one track, or "undo" my last action so that I can reopen the file and salvage the rest of my perfect song.
Thank you so much for helping out!

Your crashlog shows an "Bad Access" error.
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
That is very typical for corrupted media files. Is the last track you added a real-instrument track and you made an audio recording? Then it might help to remove the last added audio file from your GarageBand project.
Or do you have a TimeMachine backup, so that you could restore the last version of your project from the backup?
To remove an audio file from your GarageBand project ctrl-click the "xxxx.band" file of the song and select "Show Package Contents". Inside your package should be a folder called "Media" and it will contain your recordings as ".aiff" files, named like the tracks. Drag the newest ".aiff" to the Desktop and try to launch GB. You will probably get a warning about missing media - ignore it. Canyou launch GB this way?

Isolate single frame and export as a still?

Any pointer to a workflow to take a single frame from video clip in PPRO and export it into a format for printing a still photo?

Don't feel too bad. Exporting a Still was not always so easy, and in early versions of CS4, was a real pita. Luckily, Adobe listened to the Feature Requests, and instituted the general method used in its "little brother" program, PrElements, which had that (or very similar) icon for many versions.
Good luck, and glad that Ann pointed you to the right spot.

Save synonyms and hierarchy to DNG without export

What I want: to have DNG files as backups with all of the processing settings and the same keywords and snyonyms that exported files get. I dug around online and was discouraged to find other people asking the same sort of question... but dating back to 2008... with no answers. So, please, just tell me I overlooked something because this whole issue is getting annoying.
current workflow in LR3.5:
1) Import files with "Copy as DNG"
2) Process, keyword, and export JPEGs
3) **Save metadata to DNG files** <- This is where things break down and the same keywords and synonyms the jpegs get do NOT get saved to the DNG, and categories that shouldn't be added get added anyway.
4) Move the keyworded DNGs to a server to archive (moved and not exported; server restriction)
I am working with the photographers at work and their main request for this new workflow is to keep it simple and fast. Time between events doesn't always leave time for the work-arounds that seem to be required. As far as I see it, the only way to get everything in the DNG would be to export the DNGs again (and remembering to delete the original files from the hard drive and catalog). However, the sheer amount of extra time waiting for close to a thousand photos from each big event being re-written as DNGs when they are already in that format is simply mad!
The main goal here is to have the DNGs match the JPEGs so there is always a FULL backup. So if a file needs tweaks or a different crop to fit a layout, then the raw can be downloaded and edited with ease. We don't keep everything in the LR catalog because the large amount of photos eats hard drive space and the fact that multiple people need access to the files (so we use Extensis Portfolio on a server).
Here are some things I've tried to no avail: convert to DNG after keywording is complete (but it ignores synonyms and adds categories as keywords), save metadata to file (same thing: no synonyms, and adds categories)
Thanks in advance!
Michael K.

Jonah and Don,
Thanks for the replies. What I want to do is be able to come back to the files months from now, and be able to process out new derivative files, for a client request, say, secure in the knowledge that all my metadata and exposure info have survived the conversion to DNG and the move to the new hard drive.
So, if as Jonah says, the Virtual Copies stay associated with the files when they convert to DNG, then I can use them just like they were when I made them with the ORIGINAL RAW files. Is this correct?
Don, how does Drag and Drop work within LR? I did not know that existed. Please be kind enough to explain how one would MOVE a folder of newly-created DNG files from one drive to another.
Thanks so much for the input! I think I am finally getting the hang of how LR can really work for me.

How do you save changes made in iPhoto, and export the changed file. It keeps reverting back to the original.

How do you save changes made in iPhote, and export the changed picture file? When I select export, current format, it reverts to the original, wiping out all my work.

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

What Is The Difference Between Save As Self-Contained Movie and Exporting

What Is The Difference Between Save As Self-Contained Movie and Exporting a Video as a Quicktime File

Save As places the file inside a .mov container. No re-encoding.
Your still have the option to save this file as "self-contained" (all the parts travel with the file) or "reference" (small file sized movie that merely "points" to the movie parts).
A reference movie can't play if the source files can't be found. If they are moved or deleted the reference movie will fail and it can't be re-created.
Exporting is done to convert one QuickTime format to another. Typically you do this with a high quality source file. Exporting previously compressed files is a bad idea that leads to unpredictable results.
QuickTime doesn't open WMP formats without third party software help (Flip4Mac is one). You can't convert (export) WMP formats without paying extra fees to upgrade their software.
