Batch convert EPS to AI?

I have created the action but there is no batch like it is in Photoshop. How can I batch convert a folder of EPS files to AI?
Thanks,

The Batch process you are looking for is located in the Flyout menu of the Actions Palette.

  • How to batch convert .eps into .ai files?

    Hi everyone
    I have over the years gathered a huge asset library of all kinds of graphic design assets. Now I need to put this into a system and I want to use Bridge since I'm a freelancer and can't afford another system (my library is over 40GB).
    My problem is that lots of the files are in .eps format (bought in bundles etc.) and I can't stick keywords and more on them in Bridge.
    So I've been looking all over the internet for the last two hours trying to find a way to batch convert 100's (if not 1000's) of .eps files into .ai format (preferably the CS4 version - I got Creative Cloud, but I also work in CS4 with some clients still).
    I have not found an answer I can use yet Some talk about a script and show lines of code, but I don't know how to create/make/save/install a script from pure text so it does not help me.
    Preferably it would be possible for me to make a folder called "eps" and a folder called "ai" and then just put every file into the "eps" folder and then I can sort them afterwards.
    Does anyone know a solution to my problem?
    In advance thanks for all help and suggestions

  • Batch convert EPS/AI to PNG using Javascript

    Hi,
    I have lots of eps and ai files which I would like to convert to PNG format. The reason for doing this is to make it easier to find the image that I want instead of opening it one by one. I know Photoshop can do the conversion but limited to JPG, PSD and TIFF only. The filesize also will be so huge and the image quality is not sharp.
    One of the preset scripts for Adobe CS3 is SaveDocsAsPDF. I tried using this and then convert the PDF to PNG using Acrobat. I would required too much time to do it. I think there might be a better way to achieve the same result.
    I am not a programmer and cant figure out how to tweak the SaveDocsAsPDF script and become SaveDocsAsPNG script.
    It would be great if I can just select the folder and all the conversion will be done in the backgroud.
    Anyone can help me?
    Thanks

  • Batch convert EPS files to PNG

    I have many eps files which I need to open in Fireworks, select the items, apply script commaneds and save back down again as PNG's. I need to retain the vector graphics and layers.
    Problem is the Fireworks Batch tool doesn't recognise eps files so I can't run them through this.
    Has anyone got a solution for this?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Batch convert of old eps files

    Hi,
    at first sorry for my english. It is not very well, but I try.

  • Converting eps to pdf in Preview

    I have a large quantity of eps files that I would prefer to be in a much more useful and accessible format.
    In tests that I have made, I have found that Preview is not only very fast at converting the eps files to pdfs, it also crops them to their bounding box and results in an extremely tight file size.
    I would love to use Preview now to convert my collection but it is a massive job and I need to batch convert them, resaving converted pdfs back into the same folders with their original names or some sensible over-arching name + numbers for sets of files.
    Also useful would be to create a custom preview icon on each file so I can scour them in Finder
    I looked at Automator and smart folders to do this for me, but I can't see how to actually get it to work. It only shows bitmap formats in the Preview actions.
    Anybody have any practical solutions?
    I could see similar tasks with other file formats as being extremely useful too.
    Thanks for any assistance you can offer.
    btw iPhoto doesn't like pdfs! Any other way to get a neat catalog of the collection when I'm finished?
    Beaut iMac G5 2Ghz + G4 400 AGP upgraded to G4 1000 that bombs all the time   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I recommend Graphic Converter: http://lemkesoft.de/ which is capable of converting any image format to any other. It has batch actions too, but they may be disabled in the free trial version. Batch actions are extremely convenient. If you get GC I will help set you up.
    Preview is not scriptable.

  • Batch convert Pages files to Doc and stay in the same folder?

    Hi there,
    I use iWork '09 on Mountain Lion. I recently switched to Microsoft Word and prefer it over Pages (personal preference). However, I have nearly 1000 files on my computer that are in Pages format. I have extensively searched this issue in the Apple Support Communities and it appears that there are scripts that DO EXIST that batch convert Pages files into Word files. However, it appears that many of these scripts were built for older versions of iWork and therefore I run into various errors. For example, I used the script available at http://pagesfaq.blogspot.com/2008/01/export-folder-to-word-rtf-pdf-txt-or.html and click run but nothing actually happens (the script runs for less than a second, then I can click run again). I was able to use one script successfully (pasted below), but the only reason I can't use it is because it saves ALL my converted documents in one folder on my desktop and I would like a script that can save them in the original file were the Pages document is located.
    So, is there an iWork '09 compatible script that can convert my Pages documents to Word documents and save them in the same folder as the original? Oh, and for an added bonus, it'd be cool if the script also deleted my Pages version after it was done with the conversion

  • Looking for a howto for an applescript to batch convert PPTS to Keynote...

    Looking for a howto for an applescript to batch convert PPTS to Keynote...
    Hi to group!
    (cross posted this a couple of weeks ago to Keynote forum, no responses) Perhaps the query really belongs here...)
    (I) Have a whole bunch of PPTs to convert to Keynote, now and more as time goes on.
    Looked into applescript to try to automate this a bit (could open PPT file but did not see any way to 'Save' file from a script).
    Also looked into bash scripting/automator too -- way too many options to choose from. Help!
    Anybody done anything similar to this already?
    TIA for pointers. //GH

    A word of caution.
    I have not tried the workflow before.
    I am not an applescript expert.
    These steps were quickly composed using my basic knowledge in Applescript
    What I was planning was to create a script droplet that when a ppt file is dropped upon it, it extracts the name of the file and sets it to a variable to name the keynote file later. You might have to modify it a bit to batch process multiple files.
    Try going through batch processing scripts made for quark or Adobe photoshop ( Not sure if these exist on internet) to see how they have implemented the steps in applescript.
    To GUI Script Keynote, do these steps...
    All the code has to go in here
    <pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">activate application "Keynote.app"
    tell application "System Events"
       tell process "Keynote"
          -- insert GUI Scripting statements here
       end tell
    end tell
    </pre>
    <pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">click menu item "Export…"  of menu 1 of menu bar item "File"  of menu bar 1</pre>
    This will click the next.. button provided the default export type is set to PPT
    <pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">click button 2 of sheet 1 of window 2
    </pre>
    This will click the Export button on the next window
    click button 1 of sheet 1 of window 2
    This piece of code can be used to set the name of the ppt file using the extracted name in the first step
    <pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">set value of text field 1 of sheet 1 of window 2 to "<string>"
    </pre>
    May be there is a better way out there.
    Thanks for red_menace for his Script formatter script

  • Can I use Adobe Acrobat X Pro to batch convert v1.6 PDF files to v1.3?

    Recently I have posted up a project so the contractor can read the text in the PDF and create hyperlinks from these text. These PDFs are in format of engineering drawings.
    He informed me that he was going to use PHP to read the PDF text as javascript cannot.
    He then asked me to convert the version of our current PDF files from v1.6 to a lower version: v1.3, because php cannot work with higher PDF versions.
    So I found this PDF version converter: [link removed by forum host] but it only converts one by one. I have like a few hundreds of them, so I really need something to do batch convert.
    Could anyone help me out here? We (the small business I am working at) do not have Adobe Acrobat X Pro but will buy it if it can do the job.
    Otherwise could anyone advise me of any other software that can do this?
    Thanks heaps.

    Yes, Acrobat XI Pro can do this very easily. You can create an Action that runs the PDF Optimizer tool, which can convert the file content so it's compatible with any earlier version of PDF (as well as other things). Actions can then be run against a folder of files.

  • How do I batch convert .ai to .jpg or .png in Bridge CC 2014?

    I have found where you could "Export" them out in older versions of Bridge but no "Export" function exist in CC 2014.

    You could do it like this: http://www.santoshgs.com/blog/189/how-to-batch-convert-png-to-jpeg-using-photoshop-cs2/
    But can I be honest? I'd do that with a more efficient and far faster conversion utility like IrfanView. Photoshop is incredibly slow for this type of work. For example, I did a quick test to demonstrate the difference in performance:
    folder with 10 images in jpg format, 5600px by 5600px. Simple jpg to png batch.
    Photoshop: over six minutes.
    IrfanView: one minute and 40 seconds.
    That's a rather big difference - and with large numbers of images I just do not have the time to wait for Photoshop to finish the job. It's too slow.
    Another issue is that during the conversion process Photoshop cannot be used - while with a simple conversion utility you can leave it running in the background, and continue to use PS for other work if required. This matters if you have hundreds of images to convert.
    Btw, Irfanview (windows only) is free to download @ http://www.irfanview.com/
    The batch processing you can find under File-->Batch Conversion <b>
    ImageMagick is also free and open source. It is a command line tool, and easy to use for conversions.Will also work on a mac. But it is much slower than IrfanView, a tad faster than PS.

  • Batch Convert InDesign Files to PDF: Acrobat 9 Pro Opens CS3

    A question came up in the InDesign forum about batch converting InDesign files. I've never really needed to do it but I was aware of the batch convert command. The OP reported errors so I tried it myself and while it worked, for some reason Acrobat 9 Pro is opening InDesign CS3 even though I have CS4 and CS5 installed.
    I can't seem to find any way to change the default for INDD files. I tried launching ID CS5 first, but Acrobat still launched ID CS3. If I double click an INDD file in Windows Explorer, it opens in CS5 so the operating system has the default correct.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Thanks,
    I just found that out, too.
    What I'd like to find out is how to fix this.

  • Adjust page boundary when converting eps to pdf

    Hi, I have a problem with the page boundaries when converting eps files to pdf files. The resulting pdf page boundary is the bare minimum around the eps objects, leading to different page sizes when the pdf is viewed on screen. I would like all of my pdf objects to have the standard letter (8.5 by 11 inch) page boundary. Furthermore, when the pdf is printed the size of the objects is not to to the same scale as the eps file (which was created in adobe illustrator), and the orientation of the picture is often rotated to what is displayed on the eps or pdf file! Can anybody help me with this problem?

    I opened Distiller from the regular programs menu. I have a job settings file selected that has a 8.5X11 size. I opened a 5.5X7.5 EPS file in Distiller and it creates a PDF with the image at the bottom of the 8.5X11 page. You can also simply open the PDF that you already have and print to a new PDF -- selecting expand to fit if desired.

  • Batch convert appleworks to pdf in same folder

    I need a script that will work in 10.5.8 on a powerPC machine (iBook G4) that will allow me to scan the entire drive for Appleworks documents, open them in AppleWorks, print to PDF, apply the same name and save in the same folder.
    A bonus would be to also delete the original AppleWorks file while it's at it.
    Anyone written something like this? I see some solutions that batch convert to PDF into a default folder - all I need is to save in the original file folder and delete the original doc. Of course I will be making a clone of the afected system beforehand.
    Thanks in advance for any responses,
    M

    Two snags with that script:
    - it does not put the PDF in the folder the original file came from
    - it aborts if there is a message about contents not fitting on PDF print area
    ANy suggestions on either?
