Batch process cwk docs to open in pages?

Hello, asking I hope a simple question: does anyone know how or have a script to ask Mac OS 4.11 to open .cwk documents into Pages '09 as a batch processing action?  I need a bunch of files from a workshop my sister did many years ago (still on her G3 iMac running Panther I think) - they are sooo old they are from Appleworks.  It would be great if there was a fast way to open AND save them at once. We have set her computer to open all cwk docs in Pages '09 but that is as far as our expertise extends. BTW, she can also transfer and open them on her new MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 - we just started with Tiger since it was closer in age to the G3.
Thanks

  • Batch Processing in Photoshop CS5 opens files in Camera Raw

    Regarding batch processing straight from Photoshop CS5 (not in Bridge) I am unable to get the .dng files to open up without requiring that I click on 'open image' in Camera Raw.  I am trying to run a simple two step sharpen plus save and close action on a batch of 700+ .dng files.  There is no open command in the action.  Thanks.

    You probably need to check Suppress File Open Options Dialogs.

  • Batch Processing only working on open image

    I am trying to run a Batch process on several folders of photos.  In order to use the Batch process I need to have an image open, so I open a random image and run the batch process.  I'm not using any custom made actions, only the defaults.  Instead of taking the photos in a given folder, running the batch process, and creating a new folder for these images, Photoshop keeps running the batch process on the open image.  Not sure what I am doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

  • Mailed docs only open in Pages

    I just switched to a new Mac Book Pro, v.10.6.2. All docs sent to me are opening in Pages. I want them to open in whichever program they were created. I've read the discussion boards, which suggest that I need to individually change each doc as I open it. That's ridiculous. Is there a setting I can make so that they open correctly?

    If the files in question don't have an extension, there's really no way for your Mac to know what it's supposed to open it with after it's been transmitted via e-mail. Make sure all the files have appropriate extensions. If they do, and they're still opening with an inappropriate app, select one such file in the Finder, choose File -> Get Info, change the app in the Open With section and then click the Change All button.

  • Batch Processing Comment Summaries - auto removal blank page?

    Good Morning,
    I was hoping some one would be able to help me. I have folders of pdf's that contain multiple sticky notes. I was wanting to use the Advanced --> Document Processing --> Batch Processing --> Comment Summary Batch to put all information in the sticky notes onto a secondary page summarizing them. This works great!! However I need to keep the original pages and want (only if there is one) the comment summary to print on the next page. I do not want the page that says "no comment summary for this page" that also inserts. Is there a setting to turn that feature off while still providing the entire original document and the summarized comment pages?  Otherwise that is a lot of time to go and delete that page out of thousands of documents.
    Thank you so much,
    Amanda

    In the default php.ini is set open_basedir which limits work with php only to few directories (and directories bellow them). There is set /srv/http, /home,/tmp and /usr/share/pear by default.
    To allow your vhost you should add /data/www or set empty value.

    If I right click on a doc, I can select to always open THAT doc in Pages - but - is there a way I can set the system to open ALL Word docs in Pages. I want Word to be a last resort only.

  • Selected pics in Bridge don't open in Fireworks batch process

    I am trying to do a batch process in Fireworks CS3, initiated from Bridge CS3.
    If I select images in Bridge, then select Tools/Photoshop/Image Processor, and then run the action, the selected photos in Bridge are then processed.
    However, trying a similar procedure: select photos, then Tools/Fireworks/Batch Process... the Batch Process Window does not open, but just the Startup dialog. If you then choose Batch Process, it doesn't recognize the selected photos in Bridge.
    Am I missing something or is this a bug?
    Thanks

    Nick ..
    If it's the latest version ......... I have it (and therein might be my downfall whilst others upgade to be compatible with each other!!) .... except I must do an upgrade to the latest 2013 NIS, something on the Christmas spare time list to do (no emoticons for that ..... shame!!).
    AMAZINGLY .... today .... something .... somewhere said, 'you can now view the embedded pics in Yahoo'. I did not do a thing .... promise!! It just happened.
    That's the wonder of computers and software!! Just chill and maybe it will all happen/sort itself. Having been doing 'this' stuff for a 'few' years (or more!!) now, nothing really fazes me anymore. Just work round it or live with it!!
    Be sure .... be very sure, that I will come back if detect further problems and thanks for your great advices.
    My best wishes to you, and all readers of this thread for Christmas and the New Year.

  • Pro Ver 6 Batch Processing Error

    When running batch processing on .doc files, at the end of the run the batch processor errors and warnings window shows a "bad parameter" message for each document. But it does not say what the bad parameter is. I can successfully convert the same document manually, so not sure what to do. The log file is no help, as that just contains the same error messages. Running version 6.0.6 of Acrobat Pro, WinXP Pro and Office 2003. The documents are all single page Word files with an embedded .tif file. The manually converted .pdf files look fine.

    hi TAJ0808,
    there is a fix for it go and ask support we already have it installed.

  • Printing "cwk" docs from my old IMac on my new IMac ?

    Traded in my old IMac this month for new one.  Can't retrieve 6 years of correspondence transferred in because it was created in an old system "cwk".
    Someone said there's a way, but I went back to the store and they can't figure out how.  Is there a way ??

    Hello Joyce,
    It sounds like you have some word processing documents with the .cwk extension that you would like to open on your Mac. You should be able to use Pages to open them, outlined in this featured discussion:
    Setting new default application for Appleworks (cwk) files
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2361414
    Right-clicking to select an application to open a document only applies to that file for that instance. Highlight a known AppleWorks word processing document in the Finder, highlight it & choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box, click the triangle next to "Open With." Click on this drop-down menu & choose Pages. If Pages is not a choice, choose "Other" & navigate to the Pages application. Now click the "Change" button under the text that asks if you want to open all documents like this with Pages. You can then double-click the AppleWorks word processing documents & they will open in Pages. Note that the icon for the AppleWorks files will have a plain, white icon. Repeat with AppleWorks spreadsheet files & Numbers. You can also drag the icon of the AppleWorks files to the Pages or Numbers icon in the Dock or Finder.
    Be sure to save the newly converted files as Pages/Numbers & use them in the future.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Batch Processing and Putting Two files together?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to find out if there is a way, in Photoshop, to automate placing a logo file and border from another file into a set of photos? Basically, I have a folder of, let's say, 4x6 images, and I have a file that has two layers, a thin transparent border layer, and a layer housing the logo. I would like to find out if it's possible to automate the process where I can batch a lot of files to put this file (or the two layers) onto the original image, then save and close and go on to the next file. Any ideas how to accomplish this? Thanks!
    Regards,
    Dave

    Here is a simple script I made a while back that allows you to place one of two different logo files on the image, depending whether the image is upright or horizontal in orientation.
    All you need is to put you two logo files in a folder and tell the script which folder they are in. After that, when you run the script, it will place the appropriate logo file onto you image depending on the orientation. I used "C:\\MyLogoA.tif" and "C:\\MyLogoB.tif" for this script.
    You can run this script from a batch process.
    var doc = app.activeDocument; // This defines the active document
    var width = doc.width.value; // This is the width of the original image
    var height = doc.height.value; // This is the height of the original image
    // Call the placeLogo function
    if(width>height){
    placeLogo("C:\\MyLogoA.tif");
    }else{
    placeLogo("C:\\MyLogoB.tif");
    // This is the placeLogo function
    function placeLogo(path)
    // =======================================================

  • Make Word files default to open in Pages?

    Can you set certain extensions, specifically .doc files to automatically open in Pages when double clicked? How is this done to skip any "open with" command or dragging it to the icon?

    Swami,
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    You can easily set .doc files to open in Pages, and it's surprisingly easy: just go to the Finder, single-click on any .doc file, the type command-I (Get Info). Click on the Open With... menu and select Pages (or navigate to Pages if it's not in the menu. To make all .doc files open in Pages, click on the Change All button.

  • Batch processing - sequential actions (CS5)

    I would appreciate any help for the following scenario as no internet search has been useful so far.
    I need to batch process a set of folders, each with subfolders inside, and each subfolder with 3 images as follows:
    -TWG 1
      - subfolder 1
         - green 1.tif
         - blue 1.tif
         - red 1
      - subfolder 2
         - green 2.tif
         - blue 2.tif
         - red 2.tif
      - subfolder 3 .....
    - TWG 2....
    - TWG 3....
    My goal is to take green 1, blue 1, red 1 and combine them into a single image placing each into the respective color channels.
    Combo 1.tiff = red channel (image from red 1), blue channel (blue 1), green channel (green 1)
    I have already created 2 actions as follows:
    Action 1 - autocontrast each image - purpose is to open all 3 images using batch processing and leave them open for action 2
    Action 2 - combine the 3 open files into a single combo.tif and closes all files leaving no files opened
    My questions are as follows:
    1) Is it possible to batch process a folder that opens all images prior to proceeding through the action? This would allow me to open the 3 files in each subfolder and process them all together, skipping action 1 that I already created
    2) Is there a way to automate a batch such that sequential actions are used? For example A) batch is processed through action 1 first, and then B) action 2 kicks after all 3 pics have already been opened from action 1
    3) Can I automate this entire process for the parent folder of everything? (Pictures/TWG1-9/subfolders1-9/green1, red1, blue1)
    I appreciate any help or advice in this matter.
    Thanks.

    You'll probably have to use a script if you want to automate things at the high level of being able to traverse multiple folders.  I'm no scripting expert, but I know there are a lot of them about, especially here:

  • Appleworks cwk files will not open in pages or numbers

    I use AppleWorks 6.2.9.  Since my upgrade to 10.6.8 AppleWorks will not permit the settings in any document to be changed with first quitting AppleWorks, removing the plist, restarting AW, and opening the file a second time.  This is annoying.  So, I am looking into moving to Pages and Numbers for my AW word processing and spreadsheet documents.  Pages '09 trail was downloaded from the network and no document selected can be opened by either program.  I simply get a dialog stating "File could not be opened".
    Nor will Pages or Numbers opened these files that were translated into a different format by MacLinkPlus.  Basically Pages and Numbers can not process and .cwk, .doc, or .xls file on my computer. 
    I am looking for solutions.

    I don't have any Appleworks files but Numbers & Pages users manuals say they will import Appleworks 6 files. I can't say why yours will not if they are Appleworks 6 documents.
    I also don't have MacLinkPlus but it might be doing one of two things: saving in a pre-'97 format of Excel or saving with non-standard header information in the file that Numbers does not understand.
    I'm not being of much help so far.  I've been looking all over and haven't found a solution for you. Sorry.
