Acrobat 5 Batch Processing Edit batch sequences

Hello
I'm in a process of upgrading from Acrobat version 5 to the latest version of Acrobat.
I have a user who bookmarks PDF's via Batch Processing in Acrobat 5. I need to export this Java script to a new machine.
What is the easiest and fastest way to do this?
Thanks
Huinia

Can you guys please post some screenshots or instructions... It's a big step from version 5 to version 11... I think it's working but by the looks of it the user needs to do more work to what they did in the version 5.
Also please see below some info from the user. Hopefully it makes sense.
Adding PDF’s to existing PDF’s
Adding PDF’s:
User needs ‘X’ PDF to drag and drop on ‘XX’ PDF and to be set at the last page > then the destination to be set > save and close:
few issues with Adobe 11.0 in regard to this – example below with adobe 11.0 and also with what the user previously did with Adobe 5.0 (user needs to use 11.0 version)
Relates to image 1 below – as suggested in the above forum user is to open ‘page thumbnails’ left hand panel and drag X PDF onto XX PDF but the user may have 1000 individual PDF’s within X and this is time consuming scrolling all the way to the bottom in the ‘page thumbnails’ left hand panel to add in PDF X. Can you assist in a more simple way or is there a better way to do this?
Relates to image 2 below - User previously in Adobe 5.0 would open ‘X’ PDF and then drag and drop ‘XX’ PDF and click ‘insert pages’ > ‘last’ > ‘Ok’ = this would set X PDF into XX PDF and set it to start after the last page on XX
Image 1 below in Adobe 11.0
Image 2 below in Adobe 5.0 – wanting 11.0 to mirror 5.0 actions

CS5 Batch Processing Photo Editing work flow

I am relatively new to CS5 and I am intested in automating the correct gross photo editing work flow process [ie., levels contrast, color , noise, sharpening etc] once I have made RAW corrections for each photo.I hope this is as simple as refering me to a tutorial

Not sure exactly your are looking for, a template or an action to apply to other images. In Bridge/tools/photoshop there are a number of options. The image processor is quite powerful. There is also the option to make a metadata template to apply settings to other images.
Do a google search for batch process edits Bridge and see what suits your fancy.

Batch processing / Creating Pdf from multiple folders

Need to convert some 50 folders each containing 100 jpg files into pdf. Up to now I made this via "Create pdf" each folder separately.. I tried to do this as a whole via "batch processing" but the sequences in there do not foresee the automatic creation of these folders. Any solution to this ?
Am working with Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Pro and Windows Vista Ultimate
Thks

can you move all the folders to a main folder then you can have the batch point to the main folder then create another folder for the pdf to go into.

Batch Process Export As and Save As JPEG Question?

What is the method for creating scaled JPEGs from PNG files with batch processing (File | Batch Process...)?
Application environment: Fireworks CS4.
Using History panel, I manually captured instructions
Modify | Transform | Numeric Transform (13%)
Modify | Canvas | Fit Canvas
File | Save As (JPEG)
History panel's saved JavaScript file script:
fw.getDocumentDOM().scaleSelection(0.11999999731779099, 0.11999999731779099, "autoTrimImages transformAttributes");
fw.getDocumentDOM().setDocumentCanvasSizeToDocumentExtents(true);
fw.saveDocumentAs(null, true);
Running this sequence as a batch job requires manually selecting JPEG and "okaying"
CS4 documentation for saveDocumentAs is defined with different argument list: fw.saveDocumentAs(document) . CS4 documentation also has: fw.exportDocumentAs(document, fileURL, exportOptions) to export JPEG (80% quality). CS4 feature File | Image Preview... | Export does not create a history record for guidance. I cannot find an example of either instruction save a file to a local folder in JPEG format. My objective is to add an additional batch step Rename (prefix) for the JPEG output, and script this a a batch process.

Joyce,
Thank you. Your suggestion helped clear my mental log jam.
Fireworks batch scripting seems to work in reverse.
Using "Batch Process..." scripting interface 'Export' (as JPEG) option first, 'Rename' (add Prefix) option second, and then follow these by using the history panel's 2 previously saved steps (Numeric Transform, Fit Canvas), batch process now works. PNG file (list) is saved in targeted folder as a reduced scale JPEG with a prefixed file name.
Batch Process allows the entire newly defined command sequence to be saved (script.js). Placing this (renamed) file into Firework's batch look-up directory for scripts (C:\Documents and Settings\account_name\Application Data\Adobe\Fireworks CS4\Commands) does not work. The file name does not display in "Batch Process" window "Batch options:" Commands drop-down list.
Batch Process only works by recreating the above steps each use.
The new (JavaScript) file is 26 KB. Is script file size limited in Fireworks "Batch options:" feature?

Batch Process Export Layers Script

I know how to break down a layered file using the Export Layers Script, and it works pretty well for me. What I want to know is if there is a way to create an action using this script, that I can apply to multiple files and batch process in Bridge? I have created an action that in theory should work, but I keep getting stop errors when I actually run it. Has anyone successfully created an action that can export out multiple layers of multiple files?

what could be the reason?

you need to specify appropriate folder on the server.
for e.g. choose +/spl/sploutput/letterextract/+

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - How can I speed up my Batch Processing sequence

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Version 9.0.0
My company upgraded from Adobe Acrobat 7 to Acrobat 9 recently. Now, whenever I run a batch sequence on one 2003 Word file, it takes over 20 minutes - that's one Word doc. Before with version 7, it took only a few minutes.
My Batch Sequence has only one command - the Open Options command.
Question
What can I do to speed up this Batch Processing sequence?
FYI
My Word doc contains no graphic - merely text with a TOC and Index.
PS
My system has 3.50 GB of RAM

I have advanced tagging turned off.
I'm only using these two Word options:
Convert cross-ref and table of contents to links.
Convert footnote and endnote links.

Acrobat 9 Pro - previous output settings in a batch process keep interfering with new one

I created a batch process for pdf/a conversion. For the output setting, I unchecked the "overwrite" box and added a suffix to the file name.
When I deleted one and recreated a different one, it is still appending that old suffix to the file name and overwriting the old file.
Even though I uninstalled and reinstalled the software (Acrobat 9 Pro), the batch processes I had created before were still there, hence the problem remains.
How do I delete these files so I can start over? Tech support didn't solve the problem and having a hard time getting through.

Hi,
User created *.sequ files are stored:
Vista –
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Sequences
XP –
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\<6.0> or <7.0> or 8.0> or <9.0>\Sequences
It may be worth a search for all *.sequ files on the HDD to be sure you know where all of them are.
Sounds like old ones were not removed by uninstall & with re-install, Acrobat is picking them up.
Be well...

Acrobat 9 Professional Batch Processing Problem

I created a batch sequence to change the Subject under Description to run on selected folders. It ran perfectly in Acrobat 6. In Acrobat 9, when I select run sequence, I have to click OK for each file until it runs on all files in a folder. My output options are the same as Acrobat 6, I'm overwriting existing files and keeping originial name.

> So there is no way to set the batch process to only work on odd or even pages in Acrobat Professional 8?
I don't see any way.

Acrobat Pro X batch processing different in Win 7

Greetings,
My company just completed moving everyone from Win XP to Win 7 (yes, I know, but better late than never). I regularily use Acrobat Pro X to batch process and password protect large numbers of a variety of documents (Word, Publisher, Excel and PowerPoint 2-up printouts.)
Under Windows XP the process was pretty straight forward:
1) Open Acrobat Pro
2) Secect "Batch Process" File -> Create -> Batch Create Multiple files... (a window appears).
3) Drag a large group of documents into the window (you can drag over 50 docs, it doesn't matter), then begin the process (which automatically walks through all the documents and PDFs them.)
4) When the process is complete, open up the Action Wizard File -> Action Wizard -> Select the appropriate action
5) A window appears, drag the PDFs into the window and go. All PDS quickly get the security applied.
Done
With Windows 7 the functionality is different (I really don't know if it is the operating system change or some type of policy change that I am unaware of). The process is far slower because I literally have to PDF and Apply Security to each document one at a time. The process goes like this:
Under Windows 7:
1) Select a group of documents, but NO MORE THAN 15.
2) Drag the documents over the "Acrobat Pro X" icon and launch them this way. Each document created a "temporary PDF". Multiple windows open up, stacked on top of each other.
3) Go to each window individually and first save the file (that way the file name is preserved), then go to the Action Wizard and apply the security. Then close the PDF.
4) Repeat this process for each open window (document).
5) Repeat as necessary until you have the several hundred documents processed.
Literally this is a "hands-on" process for each document. Is there a better way? Am I missing something in the Acrobat or Windows 7 settings?
If I try to batch process the old way under Windows 7 I get a series of error messages for each document. (I can't even get to the action wizard process.)
Any suggestions?
Is there a third party app that will work without having to administer it so much?
Thank you,
TPK

Hi Test Screen Name,
While reproducing the problem I realized I was in error as to how far in the sequence the problem occured. I actually do get as far as batch creating PDF,. The only difference there is that I can no longer "drag and drop" files in the batch create window. I have to use the "Add files..." command in the upper left of the batch create window.
So, the application batch creates the files. Afterward, I use the Action Wizard to batch "Password Protect" the files. It is during this command run that the error occures. (Note: I am trying to save over the old files by having them save to the same directory under the same name, just like I used to be able to do.) The error I get is:
Action Completed.
Saved to: \\HOME\path-to-original-files\
Warning/Errors
The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document in a different
Document: Name of document1.pdf
Output: Name of document1.pdf
The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document in a different
Document: Name of document2.pdf
Output: Name of document2.pdf
The error message loops through all the documents. I don't have the documents open or in use. By default they shouldn't be "read-only". This all did not occure when I previously used the application with Windows XP.
I have not yet tried saving them to a different directory. I will try that later today. (I didn't want to have a lot of versions of the same documents, it tends to be confusing.)
Thank you for your reply,
TPK

Acrobat 9 Batch Processing - Get PDF filenames from folder?

Hello,
Can anyone provide me with an example with how to use Batch Processing (when set to a specific folder/files) to get a list of filenames in that folder? I haven't been able to find any examples online. There doesn't seem to be any built in batch sequences that automatically do this so I assume it will need to be done with javascript?
Ultimately, I need to automate a process (I was hoping to create a batch sequence to accomplish this) that will allow me to prompt a user to pick a source folder of PDFs and then based on that selection, run a Javascript that I create which will merge all PDFs in that folder into a new PDF, apply some crop setttings to each page, and then prompt the user where to save the merged PDF?
Has anyone ever done anything like this? I would love to see an example of how this might be able to be achieved.
Many thanks in advance.

Have you tried to create a test batch process (now called Actions)? Actions in Acrobat 10 has the "merge all files in folder" option, and batch processing in previous versions has always included a page crop commad as well as an option for asking the user where to save the file.
There are lots of examples and articles on this topic at http://www.acrobatusers.com

Batch Processing .doc 2 .pdf with Acrobat 8 Pro and Office 2004 on Tiger

I have been through the forum posts and for each relavent thread there is the easy batch process that can be done to solve this issue - however, the major flaw I have is (as seen in the attachment) no option to be able to open Word docs. How do I enable Acrobat Pro to be able to open word docs??!?!? It really is an answer I have not been able to find on the web anywhere!

Then what do you make of this persons post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1098036#1098036
"Create a new batch sequence. Select 'Run commands on Selected Folder'. In the source file options enable 'Microsoft Office Word'. Then let run the sequence."
I am able to work out the whole process except in my Acrobat there is no option for "Microsoft Word" as Bernd suggests - how do I get it on the list.

Batch Processing - Acrobat XI Pro - Freezed

HI eveyone,
I am trying to do Batch Processing in Acrobat XI Pro the same i do with Acrobat 9 PRO. What i aim to achieve is to Export the PDFs to PostScript but when working on a bigger volume ( more then 700 letters) it freezed up. Normally we are working with 3500 letters per batch. Any resolution to this?
or am i doing the wrong procedure on doing the batch processing in XI Pro?
here is my procedure: New Action Wizard > Save & Export > then i specify my settings to convert my folder to PostScript.
please help..
thanks
anthony

I had a discussion on these forums about this subject with an Adobe employee when the new version just came out and told him that it's not suitable for mass processing files. His reply amounted to saying that it wasn't meant for that, but for running macro-style sequences on small batches of files... In other words, it appears to be a "feature", not a bug. Let's hope it will improve in the next version of Acrobat...

Share Batch Processing Sequences?

I have created some Acrobat Pro 9 Batch Processing sequences that I would like to share with others on my team. Is there a way for me to export or copy the sequence and give it to others? I am on a Mac.

try67,
I appreciate your help/answer, but I do not have that path...not sure why. I have Applications/Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro/ and then the following list of items: Acrobat Distiller.app, Acrobat Uninstaller.app, Adobe Acrobat Pro.app, Bitte lesen.html, Ouvrez-moi.html, ReadMe.html
If I double-click the Adobe Acrobat Pro.app as in your list, it just opens Acrobat. I have tried searching for Sequences, but I only find older Sequences folders from previous versions of Acrobat. I have looked in each of them to see if I could find the custom sequences that I created, but none of them show up. I even did searches based on .sequ file names. Again, my custom ones do not show up in the search but they do exist in my Batch Processing menu.
I have a feeling this might be job for our IT Dept. unless someone else has an idea.
I appreciate your time!
PS. I am wondering if this is an issue with Snow Leopard rather than Acrobat.

Auto Run sequence under batch processing

How to auto run sequence under batch processing in a period of time, by scripting or any pre-installed mode?
Thanks!

Because by default it is 2*sort_area_size
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96536/ch172.htm
And sort_area_size by default is 65536
