Batch processing - can I do these tasks?

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out a way to speed up processing PDF documents. I found a tutorial that talks about a batch processing which isn't in my Acrobat Standard version. However, before I can upgrade (not sure whether it's to Pro or Extended Pro) I need to know whether the batch processing can do the following:
- set the Author
- set to Bookmarks Panel and Page to make sure that the bookmarks panel opens when the document opens
- set the Page layout: to Single Page Continuous
- set to Fit page for A4 documentation
- remove any content in the Custom tab
Any thoughts as to whether this can be automated by Acrobat? I also have ARTS PDF Aerialist (for link checking so far).
Thanks,
Elizabeth

Simple answer - I have Pro 8 and it can do the open options easily - I have anothyer program to change the author though
Cheers

Image Sequences and Batch Processing: Can opening files from different folders as image sequences be set up as an action for batch processing?

I have an ongoing series of tasks that necessitates opening the contents of a series of folders as image sequences.
I'm used to setting up some fairly complex actions, including ones that are intended to be applied to all of the contents of materials in various subfolders, but for some reason I cannot get an Open-with-Image-Sequence-Checked action to set up in a way that will batch process correctly.
Complicating matters is that the file prefixes (i.e., the letters before the sequential numbers) and the folders will always have different names from the last time the process had to be carried out.
The steps I would like the action to carry out would be the following:
1. Open Subfolder 1 - that is, Photoshop shouldn't be looking for a specific folder. It's just *any* subfolder to the current parent folder.
2. Select first file in sequenced set of files.
3. Open as an image sequence.
4. Open Subfolder 2.
5. Select first file in sequenced set of files.
6. Open as an image sequence.
...rinse and repeat until Photoshop runs out of subfolders to check.
Am I asking the impossible?
Thanks!

I'll look around there, because I had posted something about this and was told to look here ps-scripts - Browse /Image Processor Pro/v3_0 at SourceForge.net
then this is the image here:
is the result I received. Granted I'm new to using scripts and actions for image processing large amounts of files.

Batch Process - Can't choose a folder?

Hi All,
I just got Acrobat, and I'm trying to do a batch OCR, following the numerous tutorials on the subject. They all say that setting the option "Run commands on:" to "Ask when run", should allow you to choose the input folder to run the batch on. I can't seem to get this to work. When I run it on my system, the Select button is grayed out for folders, and will only let me select individual files. Is there something I am missing here?
I'm running Acrobat Pro 8.1.2

>They all say that setting the option "Run commands on:" to "Ask when run", should allow you to choose the input folder to run the batch on. I can't seem to get this to work.
Appears not to work in version 8. You'll have to change the "run commands on" to selected folder.

Domain Replication Issue. Is there Any Process can be monitored in task Manager which is responsible for REPLICATION?

Hi,
There is an issue with Secondary domain controller replication. I am interested in the "Windows Process" which is responsible for Replication.
We have a 3rd party tool in our project which generate alarm when a windows process in not running(configured).
I believe Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is used to replicate data and is always used for intrasite replication. But How to find out which RPC is responsible? or any other windows process is responsible?
Is it possible to find out "Replication problem" by just monitoring "Responsible Windows Process" ? ( process is running or not running)

Please Help, Issues when batch processing Multi Frame images in Fireworks

I hope someone will know how to do this and tell me where I am going wrong.
Objective 1
I have a large number of images that all have the exact same number of frames (4) and are all exactly the same size that I want to get resized, cropped and water marked (when I say 'watermarked I mean have my websites logo pasted in a specificlocation on each frame, I have my websites logo as a seperate .png file which I copy from).
Current Process
I create a command which will crop the image then paste my companys url/log onto the first frame, move it to the correct location on the frame then copy it again and then paste it onto each of the other frames, the command then resizes the image tot he exact proportions I want.
I start a batch process and use my command, making sure that I also export from the .png to animated gif (and I edit the settings to make it 256 animated gif).
Error 1
The process described above resizes and crops my images however it does NOT put the watermark in the correct place, it seems to put it int he right place on the first frame and then in a different place on all the followingn frames thus giving the effect of the watermark jumping around. Which is obviously NOT what I want.
Question 1
Please let me know what process I should be following to correct the Error 1 above.
Objective & Question 2
I want to do exactly the same thing as shown above but this time the files have a varying number of frames (from 2 to 45 frames (or instances as CS4 seems to call them)). Is there a way to paste my logo to the to the exact same location on ALL frames?
Other information
I have tried WHXY Paste extension and I can not see how to use that to solve the issue. I have also tried 'Paste in Place' however I can not see how to use the Paste In Place extension as it is not appering in my list of commands.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Andy

Andy, you could start a batch process which will do most of the things you are asking for. THe batch process can be done using Fireworks. The right way to start is going to Archivo / Procesar por Lotes and then follow all the different option this tool has to offer. Yes, I know I gave you the names in Spanish but that is the way I use Adobe Fireworks.
I hope this was usefull for you!

Problem w/ Batch Process

I have been able to convert .pdf files to .tif files by using the Batch Sequence Command "Export All Images As Tiff", but I'm having one issue with the resulting file. When the original file is a 5 page multi sheet .pdf - the batch process creates 5 single page .tiff documents. I would like to get 1 multi sheet .tif from every 1 multi sheet .pdf. I really don't want to have to go that extra step and have to combine the 5 files into 1 multi sheet .tif. I'm dealing with over 100,000 documents, and that would result into too much time spent.
Is it possible to create 1 multi sheet .tif from 1 multi sheet .pdf using the batch process feature in Adobe Acrobat Pro v.9?
Also, while using the above mentioned Command - I'm prompted to hit ok for each file i'm converting. This really takes away the usefullness of a "batch process"
Any help with these two issues would be much appreciated.

Honyk,
I will look into what you suggested. I'm not experienced with that much scripting, but i might have to give it a try.
Thank's for your suggestion,
Kerry

Batch process (set of Procedures) & schedule a package

Hi OTN Members,
Need to schedule and do a batch process for a package in Sun server environment on oracle 8.1.7.
The process is like this....
1. In a package separate procedures for each tables to upload datas,reading file.dat from a directory using UTL_FILE.
2. This batch process can run twice a day also....
3. If a source file for a procedure not there or any error how do i log..
4.File names like this "Table_Name_DD_MM_YYYY.DAT".
5.Procedure 2 IN parameters r there...one is directory and file name....?
6.For Source file directory we can user V$parameter right in PL/SQL or can handle in scripts ?
Any sample script(shell or Perl)...and do i have to install a perl compiler in SUN or by default perl compiler will be there in SUN SERVER?.
Any sample script for Batch Process...and scheduling?
Thanks.

Take a look at DBMS_JOB package.

Batch Process "save as" problem

Strange things are happening during the batch process save as function.
I have a set of actions i need to run on a couple of hundred jpegs, they simply need a lens correction, auto colour and auto contrast, then need saving as tiffs, all works fine when i record the action, but when i run it on a folder full of jpegs, the tiffs are huge! original jpegs are around 5mb and the tiffs are 30mb, if i apply the save as to a file individually it seems fine (file size around 2mb)
In the save as section i have specified jpeg compression at a quality of 8, but it seems to miss this in the batch process, am i missing something?
Running CS6 on OSX 10.7.5

What Script? You spoke of Actions previously.
And using Save As in Batch processing can be problematic.
Maybe Image Processor (or Image Processor Pro) might help to avoid having to include that in the Action.
But why tiff if you are going to apply the same destructive compression as a straight jpg?

Apply a Batch Process of Clean Up and Level Voice Over?

I want to apply a batch proces of "Clean Up and Level Voice Over," which is a preset.
However, batch processes can only use "favorites." So I try to create a favorite with the preset.
But this gives me an error, "A new favorite could not be recorded because no supported actions were recorded."
Can this be done? If so, what am I missing or doing wrong? I've read the help on the favorites and I'm following those instructions. I start recording, select the presets, apply, then stop recording and I get the error.
If I just select the presets and don't apply them to a wav file while recording preset, I get the same error, "A new favorite could not be recorded because no supported actions were recorded."
Please advise.
Thanks,
-billb

Hi Bill,
Audition CS 5.5 could record individual effects as favorite operations, but not effects racks. (While I can't discuss what's coming in CS 6 right now, I might suggest that this problem was one that bothered many of us on the team and one that we actively pursued solving early in CS 6 development...)
The workaround I can suggest right now would be to Start Recording a Favorite, then open and apply each effect from the Clean Up and Level Voiceover preset one at a time, with the Default settings.
1. Adaptive Noise Reduction
2. Speech Volume Leveler
3. Hard Limiter
Then Stop Recording the Favorite and it should behave equivalent to the effects rack preset when used in the Batch Process tool.

Batch processing tips

Im running a batch process which does inserts , updates and selects (for validation).
I can have exclusive use of the database during the processing - but am unable to change the batch process (the SQL). What database parameters can I change to improve the performance of the batch process.

What database parameters can I change to improve the performance of the batch process. I believe that even in 10g the rule of thumb remains that twiddling with the parameters can only save us percentage points whereas improving bad SQL can save us orders of magnitude.
One thing you might look at - if you have a multi-processor machine - is running jobs in parallel. One batch process can never use more than one CPU, so if you have a four processor machine you have three units sitting idle. If the job initiation is parameterised (dread word!) then you may be able to kick off several different jobs simultaneously.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - How can I speed up my Batch Processing sequence

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Version 9.0.0
My company upgraded from Adobe Acrobat 7 to Acrobat 9 recently. Now, whenever I run a batch sequence on one 2003 Word file, it takes over 20 minutes - that's one Word doc. Before with version 7, it took only a few minutes.
My Batch Sequence has only one command - the Open Options command.
Question
What can I do to speed up this Batch Processing sequence?
FYI
My Word doc contains no graphic - merely text with a TOC and Index.
PS
My system has 3.50 GB of RAM

I have advanced tagging turned off.
I'm only using these two Word options:
Convert cross-ref and table of contents to links.
Convert footnote and endnote links.

Can I desynchronize one station with batch process model?

Hi,
My project has 5 stations run test in parallel. I decide to use batch process model since I want them to start and stop together. Beside start and stop, I have some certain part in the test sequence need to sync together. But in 5 stations, I want one station work without sync at these steps. I tried using batch synchronize with precondition but it looks like other stations still wait for the one I skip the sync. My another option is using rendervous with number of parallel thread is total - 1. I test and this works. But I still want to know if I can use batch synchronize step or not because this offer the start sync and exit sync feature.
Thank you!
Solved!

Doug,
Thanks for your answer.
I want to have something happens parallel with other threads but without affect by batch sync steps. I have multiple stations working parallel in assembly line. They are sync because of pick and place. But I want to have one process works as station manager who keep track of UUT between station and other environment condition like pressure, temperature.

Generally, the intent of the TestSockets in the process models is that they will have a 1 to 1 correspondence to UUTs, does your 5th socket correspond to a UUT? In otherwords are there 5 UUTs under test at one time? UUTs often need things like report generation or database logging. Does your 5th socket require report generation? If not perhaps this 5th socket is really more of a utility thread and thus creating a new thread or execution at runtime makes sense for it. If your 5th socket instead does really correspond to a UUT that is being tested in parallel enitrely separately from the other UUTs then perhaps you should start up a new execution for that socket using the sequential model and just have that running at the same time as your other sockets are running with the batch model.
So it really depends on what you are using that 5th station/thread for as to what approach would likely work best.
Hope this helps,

Can't uninstall Premier Pro. I keep getting messages to quit the Adobe QT32 Server and the dynamiclink manager. I have no idea how to do these tasks?

Can't uninstall Premier Pro. I keep getting messages to quit the Adobe QT32 Server and the dynamiclink manager. I have no idea how to do these tasks?

You can kill these 2 task by opening the Windows Task manager (CTRL+ALT+SUPPR)
Then find the processes named :
Adobe QT32 Server
Adobe Dynamic Link Manager
Kill theses 2 tasks (right click then END OF TASK)
If you got many of theses tasks, kill each.
Then uninstall Premiere. It should be OK
good luck

Can I batch process? I need identical effect processing of multiple video files

I have just joined Creative Cloud, so these are very basic questions.....sorry.
I shoot videos of live bands using two cameras, so I usually end up with around 25 separate songs per show and 50 separate files (2 cams, two files per song). All the files are: 1920x1080 resolution, 23.976p frame rate, Pro Res 422 codec.
I currently edit in FCPX and color correct in DaVinci Resolve.
Because of low light conditions, I often need to use the effect Neat Video to remove noise. However, FCPX doesn't like Neat Video: freezes up, will restart rendering sometimes, etc.
So, I need a way to take the color-corrected files from Resolve and process with Neat Video, then import them into FCPX for multi-cam editing. (If Premiere Pro handles Neat Video well, then I may switch from FCPX to Premiere Pro and do it all there.........but I need time to learn Premiere Pro).
So I decided to try After Effects for this. I just tested some files in AE and the Neat Video processing went well.
However, I need to batch process the files if possible. Currently for each file I am:
(1) Setting up a Composition
(2) Adding the Neat Video effect to the file
(3) Using the Neat Video window to adjust settings
(4) Setting the render settings
With my approach I will have to set up 50 separate Compositions.
Questions:
(1) Can I batch process all 50 files, with one set of settings? (I tried using multiple files in one composition, but AE only rendered out the top file).
(2) Can I tell AE that I want the render settings to be the same as the imported files (resolution, frame rate, etc.), rather than having to enter the render settings each time? I just want the rendered files to be identical to the original files, except for Neat Video processing.
Thanks for your help.

I don't think Mylenium understood you. You need to not only bring each of 50 clips into it's own Comp but then you need to apply an effect (Neat Video) to each one before going out to the Render Queue... right?
Here's what I would do. Import all 50 clips into your project. Select all of them and drag to Comp button (on the bottom of the Project panel) or right click - "New Comp from Selection". In the dialog that pops up selct "Single Composition", use dimensions from the clip of your choosing, select "Add to Render Queue" and select "Sequence Layers". Open the Comp and select all the layers (they may already be selected), apply the default Neat Video Effect to all of them (or apply it to one, tweak it, select all the other layers and copy/paste it).
Now download this script...
http://www.redefinery.com/ae/view.php?item=rd_RenderLayers
In After Effects go to File/Scripts/Run Script File and choose the rd_RenderLayers script. Make sure you are happy with the Render Module settings and the file naming and off you go.
You'll have all 50 clips in 1 Comp, with one place to copy effects and then each layer gets output back to an individual file.

Can I use Organizer to change the .jpg size of all photos in a folder in one batch process?

We're using wa-a-ay too much disk space for a growing photo collection. My daughter is a camera freak with four kids -- need I say more?
In my current test folder the sizes of the original photos range from 2.3 MB to 4.2 MB. I picked one photo at random and printed the original and then three more, saved by PSE9 as .jpg files at maximum, middle, and minimum quality settings on plain letter-size paper, and again on 4x6 photo paper. It takes a magnifying glass and a calibrated eyeball to detect a difference on the plain paper, and it's even more difficult on the photo paper. I think I should relieve the pressure on the hard drive's capacity by reducing everything to a more reasonable size; after all, the minimum-quality print takes up less than one percent of the disk space as does the maximum-quality print.
I have a hunch that I can accomplish this in a batch process with Organizer, but that's all I have is the hunch -- not the know-how. I would like someone to step me through the process.
I also expect a lecture on why I shouldn't do this. Go for it; I'll listen.
Thanks, Bud

You are the one to judge... Will you regret it if you want to use some pictures with the original size and resolution at a later time?
Yes, you can use either the organizer or the 'process multiple files' command of the editor. But first you should think about two questions:
- Are you ready to backup the full resolution and size files before the 'shrinking'? External USB drives with big capacities are available and affordable.
- From what you are saying, the optimal size would be for files resized for 4" x 6" format at 300 ppi in jpeg quality 8 to 10.
Resizing from the Editor: Use the 'process multiple files' command and click the 'Same as source' button. I would not do it without a sound backup first... This can be done folder by folder.
Resizing from the Organizer : Use the 'Export' command. That command leaves the original and puts the resulting files in a new folder. The resulting files are NOT included in the catalog.This means that keeping your organization (categories, albums, tags...) will be tricky; same if you are using a folder organization system.
Another solution with a third party software such as Faststone photo resizer:
- Absolutely do a full backup before
- run the resizing options in the external software so that the files are resized without being moved. That replaces the originals.
- If you are using the organizer, your organization will be kept, but the file sizes in the catalog and thumbnail databases will be wrong. You can regenerate the thumbnail cache by deleting the thumbs.5.cache file in your catalog folder; it will be automatically rebuilt.
That has worked for me in the past... no guarantee for you!
