Batch printing TIF files

I have been about 9 TIF files which include 502 pages among those files. I am trying to print these as a batch rather than page by page. Can Photoshop Elements 8 do that? I'm using Windows 7 as the O/S. Any help in figuring out how to make this happen will be greatly appreciated.

You could try to download the free Efax Messenger from https://www2.efax.com/ens/efax/twa/page/download .
This will let you open multi page tif (aka *.tiff) files, plus you can print them, and convert them to *.pdf or *.efx.
It is fairly easy, since even a fuddyduddy like myself can use and understand that program.
Also, several old Scanners from EPSON, such as EPSON Perfection V300, come with software that lets you scan into a multi-page *.tif format.
According to my very own opinion, which may be wrong, mean, stupid, or illegal, it seems that software companies such as Microsoft, Adobe, etc.. have been trying to almost "outlaw TIFF format",
because it    A) is FREE, so they can't charge you for it    and   B) IT WORKS and is pretty much universally compatible.
Another option is the free GIMP program, which will open multi page TIF files.   It's a bit less intuitive to use.    When opening a multi page TIF file, select ALL and open as IMAGES (not as layers).
Good luck!

Very strange! What is your installed Reader version?
Try disabling Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Is there a way to automatically add the filename in the page header when batch printing text files directly from finder?

hello, i have 80 text files (docx). the finder preview works great and i can open them in pages.
I need to batch print them from finder:
I select all the documents > drag on printer's icon> printer puts them in queue ( after an on the fly pdf conversion) ad starts printing.
BUT
i need the filename printed on each page ( in hearder or footer) , not only the regular text content.
Do you know if there is a workaround?
thank you
Tullio

If that section has an ID or NAME attribute then you can add that to the URL (#anchor) that you want to reload.

Batch Printing with File Names in Photoshop CS5

How can I batch print hundreds of images with the file name on each of the print? I also need them to be printed at their original dimensions, which mean they should not be scaled when printed to papers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for your response, Noel. However, the images to be printed at their actual dimensions and resolution (300ppi). This is so that we can see how their qualities are going to be when they are printed the actual publication, which is at 300ppi.
What I used to be able to do in CS3 is creating an action in Photoshop that contains a print command with "label" or file name option on. Then I ran the script through the batch command in Bridge. However, in CS5, when I tried to same method, all of the images are printed at 1/2 an inch while they are actually 3-5 inches at 300ppi. Therefore, I am trying to another method that would give me the same result.

Batch Printing PDF files in Sharepoint

We are migrating our production documents into an existing WSS2.0 environment. The documents are mainly .PDF files and I am trying to find a way to allow a user to select a subset of files within a view and once done, submit all of them to be printed.
I envision a Windows File Explorer window that a user could check only the files desired and then click a single print button to launch the batch print. I have done some searching, but the the commercial tools I have found are very expensive. Anyone
know of another way to accomplish this need?

Hi Vondie,

I'm quite new to scripting and autmation but it's quickly becoming an important area I need to get to grips with.
My problem is that I have 97 seperate indesign files I need to print as proofs, and also need to create pdfs for as well.
I've had a quick google for a solution to this but not really sure what I need to be looking for & havent found anything that fits the bill.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Ryan,
Here is example of batch print script:
function main()
    var skipTo = null;
    var folder = null;
    var files = null;
    var printDialog = false;
    // Enter your Print Presets here
    var printPreset = app.printerPresets.itemByName("Your Print Preset Name");
    if( app.documents.length>0 ) {
    skipTo = app.activeDocument.fullName;
    folder = skipTo.parent;
    } else {
    folder = Folder.selectDialog("Choose a folder");
    files = folder.getFiles();
    for( f in files ) {
    var file = files[f];
    if( skipTo ) {
    if( skipTo.fsName==file.fsName )
    skipTo = null;
    else continue;
    if( file.type!="IDd4" )
    continue;
    app.open(file);
    if( app.modalState )
    return;
    app.activeDocument.print(printDialog,printPreset);
    app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.YES);

Batch Printing psd files with CS5 and Windows 7??

Hi,
I have made a number of .psd files which i need to print in order and on a regular basis. All I want to do is find a way to batch print them.
Instead of individually opening each file and selecting print, then moving onto the next file etc.
Is there any way to do this? Can I use cmd to batch print them?
Any help is Appreciated
Cheers
Dave

Here's the worlds shortest action tutorial:
Open an image.
Make the Actions panel visible by clicking Window-Actions.
Use the panel fly-out menu button (at the upper right) to create a new set, then again to create a new action.
With the "record" (round red dot) button active at the bottom of the Actions panel, print the one image. This will record your step(s) as an action.
Hit the Stop button at the bottom of the Actions panel.
Now you have recorded an action that prints an open document. You can automate this action over multiple files with the File - Automate - Batch menu.

Help! Not able to Print TIF files

I recently pasted 4 photos into a 19x13 canvass. The file was originally a 1.2 GB file, which would not print, so I then reduced the size to approximately 700MB. I go to FILE then select PRINT and nothing happens. Is there a setting I messed up somewhere?
I am using CS5 Version 12.0.1 64 bit. I have no issue printing any other TIF photos.
One thing I noticed is that I can not save this particular TIF, (thinking that maybe a JPEG would work), in any other format except Photoshop/Large Document Format/open EXR/Portable Bit Map/Radiance/TIF, no other options. It was be something terribly simple that I am just baffled with. I am really puzzled and frustrated as I really want to print this new file ASAP.
Any suggestions and/or help would be greatly appreciated.

The Adobe Color Engine can't take a 32 bit file as input and spit out a 16 or 8 bit file? That's a surprise.

Batch printing with file name included on print

I have about 3,000 images to print.
Some are .psd, some are .ai
I understand how to create an action in photoshop/illustrator and use Bridge to batch process them... however...
I really need to have the image name printed as well, so that we can refer back to the correct files.
Is this possible?

I have a Photoshop script here that will put the filename on the pictures..

How To Batch Print PDF Files

Hello Friends.
I am using Apex 4.1 on Windows 7. My database is Oracle EE 10.2.0.5 on Solaris and OAS as the app server (and so, am using mod_plsql).
I wrote an application in which I use the PLPDF package to generate PDF screens. Initially, the last few commands in my code looked like:
owa_util.mime_header('application/pdf',false);
htp.p('Content-Length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(l_blob));
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(l_blob);The variable l_blob is the PDF blob object generated by PLPDF. The PDF is being formed from a cursor for loop further up in my code (not displayed here) that is SELECTing from a table. The above code displays the generated PDF on to a popup page in my application. At that point, the user can click the "File->Print" menu to send the displayed PDFF to the default printer.
However, my requirements are that I may have multiple PDFs generated from my for loop and would like to have each of these PDFs sent to the default printer is one go rather than force the user to have to display and print each one separatlely.
And so I modified the above code so that the PDFs created by the PLPDF package are being inserted into an Oracle table rather than displayed in a popup page.
Would any one know how to send each of the PDFs stored in the table to the default printer automagically, perhaps my issuing a ctrl+p command or some such thing.
Thanks in advance for any help/code/advice.
Elie

I tried the following code that which comes directly from the Apex Stored procedure PRINT_PDF.
The APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT function returns NULL.
declare
    v_filename varchar2(1000);
    v_pdf_blob blob;
pnum number;
begin
v_filename := 'TEST_' || to_char(sysdate,'yyyymmdd');
pnum := --Hidden from Post;
dbms_output.put_line('Security ID: ' || pnum);
wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id(p_security_group_id=>nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_workspace_id,pnum));
v_pdf_blob := APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT (
                                       p_application_id      => 121,
                                       p_report_query_name   => 'QS_CERT_QUERY_TEST',
                                       p_report_layout_name => 'QS_CERT_QUERY',
                                       p_report_layout_type => 'xsl-fo',
                                       p_document_format     => 'pdf');
insert into printed_pdfs (filename, stored_pdf, record_created_By_person, record_created_on_date)
                  values (v_filename||'.pdf', v_pdf_blob, 'Name', sysdate);
end;
Any idea on what is wrong or how to make it work.

Batch Print multiple files in one click

I created an Automator app that allows the user to:
1) Ask for multiple Finder Items
2) Print Finder items
Problem is that when it runs I have to click the OK button in the print dialogue once for each individual file. If I run this workflow for 80 files to be printed I have to hit the OK button 80 times! I just want to automate this action too, but cannot find a way to do this.
Is there a way to click just once and have all files printed the same way?
TIA

Thanks for helping.
They are all .ods files created by OpenOffice macros from our intranet based MySQL database that are saved to our Tiger Server fileserver. We run a report from the intranet php interface which opens a OpenOffice Spreadsheet macro file, this then populates the template file with each data record one at a time that have been called directly from the SQL query, and then saves the files in a folder it creates for the purpose. It's a bit long winded, but it works. Neither Excel nor Numbers offers this ability.
After the files have been saved they need to be printed. The Automator app I created does nearly all I want, but is not 100% automated as each separate file needs an individual 'OK' button press, which is annoying.

How to batch print indesign files to ps?

In Windows OS,
I have a lot indesign files needed to print to postscript files -->PDF.
I tried to include them together in a book file and print them multiply, but it turned out that the page information just displayed the book's name, not every document's info.
How could I achieve the goal through scirpting？
p.s.
I just hope zevrix's BatchOutput has a Windows version.

SuperMacGuy wrote: "I'd like to very politely ask Olav, Dov, and anyone else to not question why any of us need to Postscript > PDF versus export a PDF directly from InDesign. I, and numerous others, have requirements of our workflow or output that we can't change, or technical problems that are only overcome by PS-PDFing. I understand that you also may want to inform others that direct PDF export might be better, that's OK too."
As long as I know that it's a requirement for a particular poster, I won't bring it up (though I might forget from time to time). You'll note that as soon as the original poster wrote: "It was just a workflow we have to obey... " I did not press the matter any further.
But it's a widespread and false assumption that deserves challenging, so I will not stop questioning it. There is so much "information" out there about InDesign's PDF export that is simply wrong, based on superstition, hearsay, incomprehension, and pure stupidity that I have to "question why," just as a public service. It has nothing to do with "company line" (which I routinely violate anyway). It's just the truth.
All of the "problems" with direct PDF export are traceable to either ignorance or antiquated equipment/workflows. I've worked in plenty of places where I had to deal with the latter under policies set by the former, without recourse to argument, so I do understand the problem!
So we're cool, I hope.
Thanks,
Ole

Batch-printing many PDF-files

Hi,
In our workflow we have hundreds of PDf-files in many different subfolders we need to print on a monthly basis. We COULD print them manually... but that would be expensive, time-wise. So I figured I would make an action in Acrobat Pro X that would do the trick.
And it works... except for one thing - the "Add folders" adds ALL supported files in the sub-folders, which makes it a bit useless for our purposes. I can't see any way to sort by filetype or any way to tell it to only add specific extensions.
Is there any easy way to do this? I'm open to scripting - perhaps Illustrator might be better for this purpose?
BR
Thomas

I do this daily...If you have Adobe 9 or older the process is alot eaiser for some reason Adobe made this feature more difficult, y? i don't know but here you go...
Acrobat X
Acrobat X replaces "Sequences" with "Actions", and unfortunately doesn't include a built-in "Print All" Action. So you will need to create one.
1. Choose File > Action Wizard > Create New Action
2. Fill in the "Create New Action" dialog box as shown below.
3. Click the Save button.
4. Give the Action a name, such as "Print" and click the Save button.
5. Now each time you want to batch print PDF files with Acrobat X, just File > Action Wizard > Print, and follow the on-screen prompts.

CAN ANYONE SEND ME THE CODE FOR PRINTING .tif FILE?YOU CANNOT PRINT A TIFF DIRECTLY FROM JAVA SINCE IT WILL NOT LOAD A TIFF!!! YOU HAVE TO USE JAVA ADVANCED IMAGINING TO GET THE FILE TO LOAD AND THERE ARE EXAMPLES ON HOW TO DO THAT IN THE JAI LIBRAIRY. ONCE YOU CAN GET THE TIFF TO LOAD YOU CAN USE WHAT EVER YOU HAVE NOW TO PRINT IT, THERE ISN'T ANY MAGIC, YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE THE IMAGE LOADED FIRST.

Adobe X doesn't print all files

Hi, I'm using Adobe X, XP Home, everything up to date.
Often I need to open or print more than 1 file at a time.
If I go to the directory, block off any number of pdf files and click on open, not all of the files will open. That was causing problems, but I discovered the trick there is to specify open with Adobe X and then they will all open.
If I block off any number of pdf files and click on print, again, not all of the files will print. Is there an option that allows me to batch print pdf files?
Hoping there is!
Thanks for any help, Tom

I'm guessing its a setting but can't seem to find that particular one. Has anyone ran into this? Any ideas?
While Bridge is not assigned for use over a network your problem seems cache related to me. When in a problem folder go to the menu tools / cache / and choose purge cache for folder and see if this helps you.
