Batch convert to HTML
I have very little experience with dreamweaver, so please bear with me. I'm having over 100 product descriptions wirtten for my e-commerce site by a copywriting company. They will be sending me the descritions is either one word file, muliple word files, or txt files. I need all the text converted to HTML and then imported to a spreadsheet so I can batch upload the descritpions into my site. What is the most efficient way to do this with dreamweaver?
Your help is greatly appreciated!!!
Snippets simply insert any text (including html tags) where you have your cursor.
A snippet can be set up to "wrap" a block of selected text and place the beginning tag
before the selection and the ending tag following it.
Set up a test snippet and you will see a radio button where you choose to wrap.
The dialog box will then provide two separate boxes in which your choice beginning
and ending tag code can be entered.

Batch convert .html to .csv on Mac
I have over 2,000 html files developed in Dreamweaver that were regexed to text only without any html code so that three fields of data can be extracted into csv files for use with another program (which requires csv files).
What's the best way on a Mac to batch resave/convert the html files to csv files (with or without Dreamweaver)?
I will then need to concatenate all these csv files into a single file.
Update
I found a solution that might interest a few people now or later.
.csv files are very plain text files, and you can save a .html file with .csv at the end instead, and it will open in programs like OpenOffice. It's also possible to change the file extension manually with the file closed in Finder.
So all I had to do was download Name Munger 1.7.3 (free) to change the file extension to .csv on multiple files.
Because the CSVs are text files, you can combine with them with the cat command in Terminal: cat a.csv b.csv c.csv > outputfile

Thank you very much for posting your solution here. I am sure that it will be very useful to someone in a similar situation.

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

How to batch convert RGB images to CMYK
Hello,
Can anyone explain in a step-by-step way how to batch-convert many RGB images to CMYK?
Thanks in advanceIf you do want to use Photoshop for the bact conversion there are a few ways, including Batch and Image Procesor under the File>Automate or File>Scripts of PS.
However, my preference is to use Russell Brown's script: Image Processsor Pro, via Bridge:
http://www.russellbrown.com/scripts.html
As similar one is Picture Processor:
http://www.scriptsrus.talktalk.net/
Both allow you to do multiple conversions simultaneously, to different sizes and file types, and running actions before or after the conversions. -
Batch convert a series of web pages w/ Adobe Acrobat Pro XI?
Is there the capability using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI to batch convert a series of web pages (e.g., feed to Acrobat a list of URL's to process, et al)?
Any and all replies would be most welcome and appreciated.
"Today's the best day of my life ... and NOW you're part of it!"
CraigDude, (Why do I feel like I'm in the movie "The Big Lebowski"? [ret.])
It depends on what you are feeding Acrobat and how you are feeding Acrobat.
If it's a bunch of HTML files then you can create an Action to convert the contents of a folder.
If it's just URLs then it's a little more complicated. You might need to create a JavaScript to accept all of the URLs individually and then process them in order to the Create PDF from Web Page feature.
Wait for more responses though because there are a lot of people who have probably done this already and have better ideas than the ones I propose. -
XML to convert creative html to jsp?
I am trying to find a way to use XML, XSL, etc., to make the process of building web pages at my company easier between the creative team and developers:
1.) The creative team creates the images, text, and html (using Dreamweaver). Please note, the creative team barely knows html, much less xml, xsl, or taglibs.
2.) The creative team then sends me the html pages.
3.) I then need to "convert" the html into jsps. That is, I remove the mock/dummy dynamic content, and replace it with the scriptlets or taglibs that will produce the real dynamic content.
This takes alot of time. On top of that, if the creatives ever need to be changed, I need to send the newly converted jsps back to the creative team. They inevitably mess the jsps up, because they do not understand scriptlets or taglibs. Is there some standard way of dealing with this scenario, so that the creative team and I can work better together, and so that I dont constantly "convert" the html pages to jsps? I know one option is Enhydra's xmlc, but I will have a hard time getting the creative team to adopt that.
thank you,
Davidy don't u eliminate your jsp from your HTML. you can inculde html files as a header and footer.
tell to write a comment tag in html <Html code> <table><tr><td> <!--jsp output--></td></tr></table> <Html code>. you can write a small jsp which can String.indexOf("<!--jsp output-->");. you can easily create header and footer files. for your jsp, u can also change your jsp code like this. -
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. //GHA 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.

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.

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

How to convert a HTML files into a text file using Java
Hi guys...!
I was wondering if there is a way to convert a HTML file into a text file using java programing language. Likewise I would also like to know if there is a way to convert any type of file (excel, power point, and word) into text using java.
By the way, I really appreciated the help that you guys gave me on my previous topic on how to extract tests from a pdf file.
Thank you....HTML files are already text files. What do you mean you want to convert them?
I think if you search the web, you can find things for converting those MS Office files to text (or extracting text from them, as I assume you mean). -
