Batch converting files to JPGs
Is there any way to batch convert your photos in iPhoto to JPGs? Or does anyone know of a plug-in that could do this?
Jenny
In the File -> Export dialogue you'll get the opportunity to change the files to jpeg, and it'll do as many as you ask it.

Hi
we want to survey a software that offer these function:
1. Batch convert file( MS office / PDF / JPG / TIFF ) to OCR PDF automatically.
2. Multi-threaded conversions functionality.
2. Support API .
Is Adobe Acrobat XI Pro can work?No, Acrobat would not be suitable for this purpose.
Also, be aware that the idea of converting a “born digital” document (such as an MSOffice file) to an “OCR PDF” makes no sense. -
Batch convert files to 4x6 with copyright?
How do you batch convert files to 4x6 with copyright?
How do you batch convert files to 4x6 with copyright?
You need to create an action in PS (include a conditional option for both landscape and portrait). With this action ready you can select the files in Bridge, use menu Tools, Photoshop / Batch and inhere choose the action you created and let it run.
For the action itself you might want to visit the PS forum for more details, it is not easy to create a watermark on each image but possible. Just try it and explore. -
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.

How to batch convert pdf to jpgs, crop to trim and save?
I'm trying to figure out how to take a couple of hundred PDFs, Crop them to trim, then convert them all to JPGs using any of the adobe programs.
In bridge I was able to Batch convert all the PDFs to JPGs but it wouldn't crop them to the trim also...
I thought I could use the Photoshop Image Processor to batch action crop and save them again but I always get one of two errors... "There were no source files that could be opened by Photoshop." or "Please Specify a destination folder."
I don't know why this is coming up since I have it selecting the folders with the JPGs that I converted in Bridge and saving to another folder..
Does anyone know if I can do all of this at once? Or how I can somehow get this to work so that II don't have to open,crop and save for each individual file?Corel's WP has not / does not use anything of Adobe's to create PDFs.
With Acrobat installed you can "file - print" WP files to the Adobe PDF virtual printer that is installed with Acrobat.
Perhaps an OS based "batch" printer job would be possible. Something for you to look into.
As well, if you have WP installed there may be something WP can do.
To learn of such you'd want to visit Corel's WP customer support.
Be well... -
Batch convert Raw to jpg with EXIF data
I would like to batch convert RAW images files to jpeg format while preserving the EXIF data. Is there any way to do this with the built-in apps in OS X Mavericks?
This used to be possible with Preview.app using the "Export Selected Images..." command. However, as of Mavericks, that command does not correctly copy EXIF data for the individual images. Instead, the EXIF data for the first image is used in all of the exported images. So Preview.app is now pretty much useless for converting batches of RAW files.
Can anyone point me to a workaround in Preview.app, or an alternative way to do this conversion in Mavericks?
I should add that I don't want to import all my images into iPhoto. I prefer to use regular folders to organize my images rather than the walled library that iPhoto creates.Andrew Shalit wrote:
I used iPhoto for many years and found it to be cumbersome and more trouble than it was worth. It did not let me manage, organize, rate, tag, and edit my photos in any way approaching convenience.
Hate to say this for the 3rd time, but use Canon's "DPP" (Digital Photo Professional).
With it you can "manage, organize, rate, tag, and edit [your] photos" as well as batch convert to jpeg or othet formats. -
How to batch convert RAW to JPG in Lightroom?
Hi. I want to convert a large portion of my older RAW files to JPG, to free up some hard drive space. Is there a way to do that in Lightroom (or perhaps Bridge)?
Thanks for any help.Export as jpg, checking add to catalog and then delete the originals. This will be a mistake. Keep your original files or you will regret it one day. If you need to save space that badly then convert the Raw files to DNG.

Hello,
I honestly have tried reading the other answers and researching to try to solve this problem. I'm sorry for my ignorance in this area. Please help!!!
I'm trying to make a script (for Illustrator CS2) that will batch convert several files to PNG files. The source folder has several subfolders and I need the script to go into the subfolders and convert those files as well. The destination directory should be an entirely separate folder but with the same hierarchy as the original source folder.
The script I have been using (that converts just as I need) is below. The only problem is it doesn't do the subfolders.
Any help would be so amazingly appreciated!

Batch convert to progressive jpg's
I have been trying to create a Action that allows me to take a JPG file and save it for web in progressive node.
I need to batch process the images because the JPG files are exported fro LR 2.6 and it does not have the capibilities to export as a progressive JPG file.
Anyone have info on making the Action and Batch Processing in PS?
ThanksThank you for the reply.
I did make the action but I get the 'Save' dialogue box opening with each image. I would like to supress that but for now it is good. -
CS3: Any way to Batch convert files from different directories?
Using CS3. I want to open a bunch of TIF files and re-save using different file options. The only way I know to do this is with File > Automate > Batch. But that only works if the destination folder for all files is the same. It's not.
Ideally I would not need to first open the files in Photoshop. Perhaps something with Bridge will work. Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor looks promising. There's even an option called "Save in same location", which does not do what it says so is totally useless.>Bridge and Finder. They might both be running, but they are two programs that aren't Photoshop to do one simple thing Photoshop should do already by version 11.
The whole point is that Bridge is supposed to be used as an integral part of the CS4 SUITE.
I keep Bridge CS4 running at ALL times (it uses a minute amount of resources when it is just in standby mode) and I consider it to be an essential adjunct to Photoshop particularly if you deal with digital camera files.
I use its "Get Photos from Camera" to download from my card reader in preference to Nikon's download program; and I open whole batches of RAW files for processing in Bridge-hosted ACR 5.2.
ACR 5.2 also handles scanned Tiffs and JPEGs.
And I use Bridge to output Web Galleries; attach files to e-mails; collect aliases of all the files of any kind (and from any folder) that are needed for a particular project into a single Collection: and generally to organize file storage throughout my System.
The only thing that I can't yet do directly from Bridge is to burn a Collection to a CD or DVD.
Hopefully, someone like David Franzen will create a Script to do that too? -
How can I use Automator to batch convert files of various formats into pdf files?
I am very much a novice. I need to convert approximately 10,000 documents into pdf format. (No, I'm not exaggerating.) I have searched and found various Applescripts that will do it for Word documents, but have even been unsuccessful using those. Each of my attempts ends up with some sort of error.
The documents are in mixed formats: Excel, Word, PowerPoint, OpenOffice (.odt), and .jpeg, I even have some Clarisworks/Appleworks files, but those I'm happy to deal with separately if need be.I am very much a novice.

How do I batch convert files from pdf to pdf/a
My company is scanning a bunch of old documents and wants to store the files as both pdf and pdf/a. Many of the files have already been scanned as pdf, is it possible to convert them en mass to pdf/a? Or must we continue to do them one at a time?
XI Pro is better, the algorithm that fixes a PDF so it passes the compliance check is better. Not foolproof but much more likely to succeed than the one in Acrobat X.
As Test Screen Name says you can automate saving to the untagged versions of PDF/A (such as PDF/A-1b) using an Action, simply by creating a new 'empty' action and changing the Save step options. In most cases it'll work, but if the input file is wildly out of compliance it can still throw an error. The biggest problems tend to originate with font embedding and when the PDF has comments applied.
PDF/A versions with tagging (e.g. PDF/A-1a) are horrendous to create after the fact as you will almost certainly be hit with a long list of things you have to manually correct. Acrobat can't automate the fixes this time as it has no way to understand the semantics of each page. It's very strongly advised that those types of file are created directly in the authoring application (though Adobe has yet to implement that idea in InDesign, you can do it in MS Office).
