Batch image merge? In need of automation

I'm creating customized forms using Acrobat and some elements of LiveCycle. I've managed to get the first (of 20) form to work and look pretty great. My challenge is: The form is for a cooperative that has 28 members. Each member wants the identical form, but with their logo and their address/name throughout. The text parts seem easy: Find/replace, or make a field that they can write in their name. The part I'm more worried about is how to place their logo on each one without having to go in individually on each of the 20 forms, for each of the 28 coops.
Any headache saving advice? Is there anyway to designate a drag-drop region using Acro or LiveCycle?
Thanks in advance for anything at all!

Hi,
Here is a solution based on kingphysh's secret space: https://acrobat.com/#d=YFdtzhiH6sI2zwCADuN1Tw
It is based on an authorised person knowing the required input to the first three fields (in red text in this example). When entered a hidden subform is made visible. The data inputted in here (including the image) have global binding to objects on the form.
Note that the imageField on the main form has script in the docReady event so that its access is set to ReadOnly.
It would also be worth looking at John Brinkman's blog for embedded v linked images: http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2009/11/linked_vs_embedded_template_im.html
Good luck,
Niall

  • Actions - batch images

    Would you be so kind to help me? I need to apply an action for a set of images (let's say 100) and I want to use Batch function in order to simplify the process. The issue is that I need this action to be applied at opacity 20% for all images. How it's possible to do? I wonder if it is the way to do automatically, not manually to change the opacity for each image.

    You'll need to record the steps to yield that 20% mixing result into your action.
    You could, for example, start by duplicating the image you're working on as a second layer, doing the operations you want on it, then setting the Opacity of the layer to 20% and Merge Down.
    Keep in mind actions can invoke other actions, so you could record an action that does the above, and the "the operations you want" step could be calling upon another action to do the work.

  • Batch image processing selects from Bridge

    I'm trying to figure out if there is a way for Bridge to batch process only the 'selects' from a folder. I've got the action for resizing and renaming down, but I run into a wall when I'm trying to preform a batch processing on only the selects from multiple folders.
    Anyone know of a way to tell bridge to only work with the selects? The file structure is such that I am attempting to batch 60 folders containing hi-res images. I need to resize the selects found within each folder.
    Thanks for any help that comes this way!

    If you select the files and then use tools - Photoshop - Batch the action runs only for the selected files but I don't think you are able to batch action selected images from multiple folders. Using the Dr Brown script you may include subfolders in PSCS but that is all AFAIK.
    You can also rate the selected files and using the pin left down in the filter panel to save the filtering but then you would have to select the folders one by one.
    You can try scripting but in my opinion you will be better off with half an hour sorting all the files and copy or move them manual to one folder and than run a batch :-)

  • Crystallize same image to different cell size automated

    Hi, I am looking to findout if there is a way to automate the process of editing the same photo multipul ways. What I want to do is take one image then apply the pixelate, crystallize feature to an image but I need to to apply every cell size from 3 to 300. I want to automate this process as to do it by hand would be a very long job
    Any help would be much appreciated

    Such a workflow is too advanced to do in Photoshop Elements. While Elements does support some automation, this is automation of applying the same thing to multiple files, it does not allow you to make multiple changes to a single file. This couldn't even be accomplished with Actions, which Elements does have some support for (you can use them, but you cannot create them). To accomplish this, you would need to use Scripting in the full version of Photoshop.

    I have just started to use Muse for our design agency and learning how to build ourselves a new site, I have managed to create a basic lightbox which contains sliding images, what I need to do now is have a pop up window which goes into detail about the projects, what I would like is a piece of text  or icon that when you roll over it and then click a separate window pops up with additional information in, once finished reading the info you can then click to close the box, any advice on how to do this?

    The best way to do what you're asking is with the Composition widget. Start with the Tooltip preset, which, by default shows the info on rollover. You can change the option to show on click, which is what you're after. You can also add the close button or have the info disappear on rollout.

  • I am able to get color images in the continues shot but when i try to snap a color image which i need for my processing i get only a monocrome image

    I have been using lv_vfw.llb VI's for grabbing images from a CREATIVE WEB CAM ,i am able to get color images in the continues shot but when i try to snap a color image which i need for my processing i get only a monocrome image ,i have been trying to play around with the RGB weightings but i am unable to get a color iamge,it shall be of great help if you could help me in doing this as it is urgent for me.Thanks for your help.

    vicky,
    I am unfamiliar with the lv_vfw.llb, and have not used it before. However, I noticed that you stated that you are able to grab in color, just not snap in color. If this is the case, why not just perform a grab and then extract a single buffer from this grabbed data, which would likely be in color? This seems like a possible solution to the issue that you are seeing.
    Other than that, I really don't know enough about the lv_vfw.llb to be of much help on this issue. Hopefully another member of this forum will be able to assist you with this software.

  • I need an automator script to play a folder of movies

    I have a folder of quicktime movies. I have a Mac Mini with Lion. I have a TV. I need an automator script to grab the list of movie files from the folder and play them full-screen, one-by-one and then loop through the process to continue playing them, unattended, all day.
    I cannot get the proper steps in automator to accomplish this (seems to me it should be easy) job.
    Any ideas?

    Dave,
    Thanks for the tip. I didn't know that Quick Look would display a folder of files one-by-one. Once I set the first file to full screen, the rest also played full screen one after the other. Now I need a way to automatically launch Quick Look, set full screen and loop. This site http://automator.us/leopard/downloads/index.html has an automator action that uses Quick View, but on my Lion machine it just displays the first movie and only the first frame of the movie. It stops at that point.

  • Batch Image Conversion

    Can iPhoto 4.x do batch image conversion of JPGs to TIFFs, and vice versa?
    Is there freeware for Apple Macs that can do this? Photoshop is too rich for my blood.
    Thanks.

  • I have the Photoshop Elements 11 and when I use the stamp effect the image becomes totally black. It used to have my line drawing in white, now, just a black image. I need the stamp effect. also, most other effects simply crash the program.

    I have the Photoshop Elements 11 and when I use the stamp effect the image becomes totally black. It used to have my line drawing in white, now, just a black image. I need the stamp effect. also, most other effects simply crash the program.

    Which operating system are you using?
    Some filters like Filter>Sketch>Stamp need to have two different colors for the Foreground and Background set in the toolbox.
    Press the D key to set the default toolbox color swatches to Black and White and then try the Stamp filter.
    If your using mac os x 10.9 or 10.10, then some of the filters under Filter>Sketch will crash pse 11
    They are Filter>Sketch>Comic, Graphic Novel and Pen and Ink
    Otherwise resetting the pse11 editor preferences might resolve the crashing.
    Go to Photoshop Elements Editor(Edit)>General, click on Reset Preferences on Next Launch and then restart the pse 11 editor

  • Why does Merge Join needs its sources to be sorted

    Hi,
    Can anyone explain why Merge Join needs its sources to be sorted ?
    I saw an explanation in another thread that this is the way to not load all the data to memory, but isnt the data that is about to be merged already all in memory becuase the SORT component waits for all the rows to arrive ?
    Why are there no options for Full cache, Partial Cache and No Cache like in the Lookup component ?

    MERGE Join is one of Join algorithms in SQL Server needs sorted inputs and efficient for large set of records.
    You may refer the below(Craig
    Freedman) link to understand the MERGE JOIN algorithm in details.

  • I would like to remove a short gray edge from two images. I need help in that I am not yet able to use PhotoShop. Could somebody kindly help me with this?

    I would like to remove a short gray edge from two images. I need help in that I am not yet able to use PhotoShop. Could somebody kindly help me with this?

    I doubt it Doc Maik, but I am certainly happy to learn The image is this one (and a similar one). They would be beautiful portraits if not for the "extra mouth". The grey edge that I would like to remove is the excess of (grey) mouth that is actually my horse's chin, but that in the pictures looks like a wider, looping mouth. Practically, looking at the picture, the "extra mouth" to the left. What I would love it to be able correct that to look like a normal mouth, which means that half of the protruding edge should be removed. I am not sure I was able to explain myself, but here is one of the two pictures. I thank you for you kindness in being available to advise me.
