Batch or script cropping, renaming and resizing pdf's
HELP!
I'm desperatley looking for a way to do the folowwing in one batch or script with a complete folder of pdf's with printer marks and bleeds:
Crop
Create a file of 600*800 pixel on 72dpi with the addition of the word 'groot_' in front of the file name.
Create a file of 300*400 pixel on 72dpi with the addition of the word 'klein_' in front of the file name.
I work with CS4 on the mac.
I have looking for a solution for a couple of days and found a work around:
Cropping the files in a batch with acrobat.
Create a 600*800 file with a photoshop script.
The same thing for the 300*400 file.
Add the words in front of the files with apple automator.
This are 5 actions with 3 programs. I'm happy I found some way but I have the idea it could be done alot easier. Best would be with 1 script or batch in 1 program since I have to do this at least once a month and want to be able to instruct others as well without it being to complicated.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks!!!
Yes this is doable in one go with script. You don't have to crop the PDF files in Acrobat is you set which PDF box to use with Photoshop's PDF open options. The only things that get a little more tricky are dealing with multi-page PDF's…

I'm trying to take several images, find the largest one and then make sure all the rest are that size and centered in that image with a transparent border/background around them for any space left.
For example:
I have 3 100x100px images and the 4th is 150x120px. I want the first 3 to be the same size as number 4 but not be enlarged, just centered in an image that is the same size as the 4th.
I have hundreds of images to do this to so one at a time isn't a great option, is there a way to make an action to do this? I've had no luck.
So far I've tried using scripts to merge the files as layers into one document, crop the image way bigger than any image will be then trim to hit the border of the largest image. That works fine...but then how can I save those layers back out as their respective png files again?
I'm on CS5 btw.

To start with depending on your image file mix there may be a basic problem. If there is a mixture of Landscape and portrait images none of the images you have may not have a width and height that is largest of all the images.
Photoshop ships with a script you can use that will help you do what you want though. If you open Photoshop and use menu File>Scripts>Load Files into Stack... you can point its dialog to a folder that has your image collection. This script will load all images in that folder into a single document that will have a canvas size that is as wide as the image with the largest width and as high as the images with the largest height. None of the layers may be that size and the layers contents may not be centered within this canvas size. However that can easly be done.
The top layer I beleive will be the current target after Load Files into stack runs. Hold down the shift ken and mous click on the bottom layer in the layers palette. All layers should now be targeted.
Then do a select all
then menu Layers>align layers to selection>Vertical Center
then menu Layers>align layers to selection>Horizontal Center
All layers will now be centered within the documents canvas size. That would be easy to do in an action. Now you would need to create a new document with a transparent background the current canvas size for each layer and mover a layer centered into it and delete the bottom layer and save a image file in a format that supports transparency.
Once you have your image stack in the proper canvas sized document centered or not you should be able to create an script to create your output files. -
Package batch renaming and relinking duplicates
A plug-in/script available for InDesign to package some folders indd files into one folder with .indd, .pdf, .idml, links and fonts in folder, if images are duplicated between documents, rename with suffix "_1, _2, ....
I need it to rename and relink files with random names to add suffix "_1, _2, _n number" images are in .eps, .pdf, .psd, .jpg, etc. Names such as:
design.tif design_1.tif

Manually update links in InDesign, which is extremely time taking. I have found many scripts, but those are either keeping only one link when a package or changing one by one in each indesign documents and than package as usual.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!Thank you for your great help. It is very useful in future.
It is doing 90% work of the package. It keeps link folder with one link, which is coming suppose in more than two documents.
Same name images used between documents, with may be some changes,

I need to batch rename and relink files in indesign
I have a whole bunch of files that I need to rename ( I need to add a prefix on to the front eg. a whole group of files called "plan.jpg" 01.jpg, 02.jpg, etc... need to now read ORD_plan.jpg, ORD_01.jpg, etc...) I can batch rename the files in adobe bridge, but I have to go in one by one and re-connect the links. Is there a script which can batch rename and relink all the files?
Thanks!This biterscripting script may possibly help. It takes two input arguments.
directory - directory under which the .jpg files are located
prefix - prefix which will be added to each file's name
# Script RenameJpg.txt
var str directory, prefix, list, filepath, name
cd $directory
find -n "*.jpg" > $list
while ($list <> "")
do
lex "1" $list > $filepath ; stex -p "^/^l[" $filepath > $name
set $name = $prefix+$name
system copy ("\""+$filepath+"\"") ("\""+$name+"\"")
done
This is the way you would use it - copy and paste the script code into file C:/Scripts/RenameJpg.txt, then enter this command into biterscripting.
script "C:/Scripts/RenameJpg.txt" directory("C:/test") prefix("ORD_")
It will rename C:/test/plan.jpg to C:/test/ORD_plan.jpg, C:/test/01.jpg to C:/test/ORD_01.jpg, etc.
Important: I am using the 'system copy' command so that files are copied instead of renamed. Once you are happy with the test, you can change that command to 'system rename'.
Also, if the .jpg files are within subfolders of C:/test, change the 'find -n' to 'find -r -n'. -r means recursive = search in subfolders. Syntax for the find command at http://www.biterscripting.com/helppages/lf.html

Batch renaming and relinking in InDesign CS4
Is there a plug-in available for InDesign that will batch rename and relink placed images?
In Quark, I used Badia Link Renamer which worked perfectly but it's not available for InDesign. (Was told they hope to have it incorporated into BigPicture for CS5.)
Is there something similar currently available for InDesign?
Essentially I need it to rename and relink files with random names to structured names such as:
001_Cust_000123456789_art_r1.tif
(I love that Bridge does batch renaming but then I have to manually update links in InDesign which is extremely time-consuming. I've also manually renamed/relinked files individually with Adobe Dialogue but it doesn't seem to be part of CS4.)
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Been looking for something for months.
Thanks!Here is my last version of the script, it deals with multiple instances of the same file.

Script to resize pdf-files by percentage
Dear all,
I have a rather simple problem: I need to resize a collection of several pdf files (around 60) by a certain percentage, because those files are included in a text (LaTex) - and I need to change the LaTex page style (in other words: the layout) - so that my old images are all a bit too large for the layout; thus I want to do a quick-and-dirty solution and resize them all by a certain percentage (defined by the difference between my old layout and the new, more slim one).
So - the simple question is: does anyone know either if there is simple free software out there that can do this (I didn't find any - and Acrobat 9 doesn't offer the possibility to change the dimensions of pdf images) - or, b) if this would be possible to do with Applescript? Off course, I wouldn't mind a ready-made script - but, since I don't know, but want to learn Applescript, I thought that this might be a good task to start with - although I also need a solution in 3 to 4 days - hope it wouldn't be a too frustrating task to start with...
Thanks for any hints!
With kind regards,
Björn

You might try something like the following script.
It will a) resize the pdf image by using Image Events and save it as png and b) convert png to pdf by png2pdf.
You'd need to have png2pdf installed in advance.
(Image Events can open pdf but cannot save as pdf according to the document.)
The script will let you choose source folder where original pdfs reside and destination folder where modified pdfs are to be stored. Also it will let you specify scaling factor. After that it will open each pdf file (*.pdf) in source folder, resize and save as new png file in destination and then convert the png to pdf (and delete png if successful). Hopefully it's like that.
Script is NOT tested and I don't know how good (or bad) Image Events and png2pdf are, for I don't use OSX for myself. Sorry about that.
Good luck,

Automated cropping and resizing with user interaction
Dear all,
after hours of tests with batch processing and search in the internet maybe somebody of you can help me:
I have roughly 3000 jpgs. in one folder (all different sizes and proportions), and I need all of them cropped to a specific proportion (width:height = 4:3) and then resized to a specific size (e.g. 800 x 600px). Batch processing can do a lot, but one critical step is not possible: As soon as one picture has been loaded into PS, I need a user interaction to determine the crop area freely (size and position) before the rest of the process (cropping, resizing and saving) can run automatically again.
For example a picture of 2000 x 1000 px: The"crop window" lets me to choose an arbitrary area concering size and position (i.e.at 20px from the left, and 10 px from the top, size 1000 x 750 px = fixed aspect ratio - and different for each picture), then the cropped area is resized to 800 x 600px, then it is saved.(Similar to the marquee tool with fixed aspect ratio)
The crucial act is the interaction with the "proportional cropping". If the resizing is not possible in the first step, I coudl also do this with a second batch run myself.
If somebody can help me, I would be very glad....
Thanks a lot,

Script to connect and rename a drive works on Windows 8.1 but not Windows 7
I have a script to map a drive to a WebDAV share and the staff wanted it so the Drive shows up as Onedrive and not \\http......etc So I added entries to the script
to rename the drive to that. It seems to run and work perfectly on Windows 8.1 but on Win 7 it maps the drive but the rename part doesn't work. Even running the rename section manually in a separate script on Windows 7 does nothing. Is there a different rename
command for VB for a Win 7 OS?
JasonSure thing, Also Ive found the problem is on the ones that aren;t working if I open an app notepad for example and do a save as that drive shows as the name I want it but it doesn't when I just go to My comuter view

Shell script for moving and renaming files
I'm not so familiar with shell scripts. I have created some simple scripts for various tasks but now I hit something I can't handle myself.
My server receives every night a logfile from another server. This file I need to rename and move to another location. Problem is that a simple mv with new filename isn't enough, I need to insert date in filename. Format for date should be ddmmyy. Also the name of incoming file changes every night. The output always starts with same letters, let's say "log", and the date is used to identify files.
For example I receive a file /Input/filename.log and I need to move the file to the folder /Output with name log130308.txt.
Any tips how to insert the date as part of of filename while renaming or moving the file? I prefer shell script as I'll use launchd for scheduling the script.Hi again,
so far I've constructed this:
cd /input
for file in `ls *log`
do
echo "Copying " $file
cp $file /output/log.$file.`date +%d%m%y`
done
Quite there. I'm cding to directory, i'll focus later how to set some environmental parameters.
Problem with zipping is that I don't know exact logfiles names. Each day there's a new name. So zip -q filename.zip filename.log isn't quite enough and it's impossible to use wildcards. The switch -q and checksums were welcome suggestions.
Thanks again,
Juha

Adobe Media Encoder CS5 - Can we crop and resize at the same time?
Flash 8's video encoder, use to let you crop (cut x amount of pixels out) and then resize a video (and in that order it did it).
CS5's Media Encoder is confusing, from what I can tell it cannot do both, you either can crop or resize but not both. ANd if you can do both, you definately cant crop before the resize. So which is it?
Resizing made sense last, because you could put in new values for the resize nad figure out how much you need to crop out.
Please help this is driving me insane.Everyone in my office has the same problem!
We really need an alternative to AME both because of the crop/resize problem and many other seamingly random issues with preview and export.
Adobe Media Encoder sucks... -
Printing with Bleed and Crop marks from a PDF made with PS
So, i have created a business card with a .125in bleed all around in photoshop. I know that you can go to File->print->output in photoshop and specify crop marks and the amound of bleed...however, i have saved my business card as a PDF from photoshop. I want to print from the PDF version as i have the plug-in quite imposing 2 for acrobat and use step and repeat to print multiples on 11x17 paper. How do i add the crop marks in the right place from Acrobat on the business card?
Do you have Quite Imposing Plus 2 or just Quite Imposing 2?
cheers,

I have formatted a photo book, but am apprehensive to push the "buy" button as I have ordered prints that I thought were cropped correctly, and they returned with heads cut off and half of bodies mising. I have put the book on a PDF file as instucted, please reassure me that if everything looks right there, that is the way the book will look??
If the PDF looks good then the printed copy should be OK. The only problem you might run into is the color rendering. As long as none of your photos use the sRGB profile and not the Adobe RGB color profile the color should be fine.
On those prints that were cropped incorrectly: did you copy them to the print size ordered before uploading for printing? If not then they will be cropped by the printing equipment and you'll lose part of the top and bottom of the print (for landscape prints).

Not sure if this is a bug but it's frustrating! I'm using the
Mac version of Flash CS3. I set everything up correctly to crop a
video clip (dragging the sliders in the 'Crop and Resize' tab). I
then start the queue etc. The resulting flv has NOT cropped as I
specified?? I get strange sizes, distortions etc. This also happens
by direct import to the stage (embed or external).
Also I find that I need to check the 'Resize Video' check box
even if I don't want to resize the video to get Flash to import at
the correct size of the original! This renders the cropping tool
useless. Any ideas anyone?I've since done some tests. The issue appears to be related
to the source video and not the Flash Video Encoder, particularly
the compression format. I have a set of clips at the same size but
the compression formats are different (I checked the movie
properties in QuickTime). Sorenson versions seem to crop and resize
OK, but the DV format doesn't.
At least the Flash side of things are fine. -
Script to rename layers comps batch?
Does anyone know any script to rename batch comps layers in a sequential numbering? For example: layerComps01, layerComps02, layerComps03 ...
// 2014, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
for (var m = 0; m < myDocument.layerComps.length; m++) {
myDocument.layerComps[m].name = "comp"+bufferNumberWithZeros(m+1, 2)
////// buffer number with zeros //////
function bufferNumberWithZeros (number, places) {
var theNumberString = String(number);
for (var o = 0; o < (places - String(number).length); o++) {
theNumberString = String("0" + theNumberString)
return theNumberString
