Batch Processing of Bookmarks

Hello all,
I'm new to using acrobat and was hoping to get some assistance regarding the batch processing of bookmark files. Basically I want to know if it is possible to set bookmark properties using global settings all in one go, or reset the default properties of bookmarks. Currently, I have to manually set the properties of each individual bookmark by right clicking on each of them, selecting properties, changing to the actions tab, clicking edit and then setting the zoom to 'Fit Page'. I was hoping to be able to eliminate these steps if at all possible and do the entire document in one hit.
Any help at all would be very much appreciated.

Rather than using bookmarks to zoom fit page, use the page properties set action instead, this is the javascript I have done in batch processing which will do the job.
/* Zoom to Fit Page */
var numpages = this.numPages;
for (var i=0; i < numpages; i++) {
this.setPageAction(i, "Open", "this.zoomType = zoomtype.fitP;");
Hope this helps you.

Acrobat 5 Batch Processing Edit batch sequences

Hello
I'm in a process of upgrading from Acrobat version 5 to the latest version of Acrobat.
I have a user who bookmarks PDF's via Batch Processing in Acrobat 5. I need to export this Java script to a new machine.
What is the easiest and fastest way to do this?
Thanks
Huinia

Can you guys please post some screenshots or instructions... It's a big step from version 5 to version 11... I think it's working but by the looks of it the user needs to do more work to what they did in the version 5.
Also please see below some info from the user. Hopefully it makes sense.
Adding PDF’s to existing PDF’s
Adding PDF’s:
User needs ‘X’ PDF to drag and drop on ‘XX’ PDF and to be set at the last page > then the destination to be set > save and close:
few issues with Adobe 11.0 in regard to this – example below with adobe 11.0 and also with what the user previously did with Adobe 5.0 (user needs to use 11.0 version)
Relates to image 1 below – as suggested in the above forum user is to open ‘page thumbnails’ left hand panel and drag X PDF onto XX PDF but the user may have 1000 individual PDF’s within X and this is time consuming scrolling all the way to the bottom in the ‘page thumbnails’ left hand panel to add in PDF X. Can you assist in a more simple way or is there a better way to do this?
Relates to image 2 below - User previously in Adobe 5.0 would open ‘X’ PDF and then drag and drop ‘XX’ PDF and click ‘insert pages’ > ‘last’ > ‘Ok’ = this would set X PDF into XX PDF and set it to start after the last page on XX

Disable all informations (popups, alerts etc.) during batch process

Hey! I'm using Acrobat 6.0 and the open all batch process to convert various office documents. For each document I have to agree to some alerts like "The document was changed. Do you want to save it" or "Acrobat can't save bookmarks beacause..." - or something like that... I think everybody can imagine what I mean and it doesn't matter what exactly is the content of these popups...
My question: Is there a posibility to turn off all these messages? Maybe with some lines of JavaScript Code? Or pipe these messages to a text file instead of showing it on the screen?

Thanks for your answer. I mean both things, although I haven't yet a JS function so I prefer the feature Batch Processing which is part of Acrobat 6.0
Unfortunately the "Save warnings and errors in log file" preference doesn't work. I think the problem is, that these errors are special Batch Error. But this isn't what I mean...
I will now describe exactly my problem. I'm using Acrobat 6.0 and MS Excel 2003. With several Makros I created special Excel files. With some (not all) tables in the Excel file I made a group (because I want to convert only these tables...)
When I start the batch processing, the following messages appears (which I have to accept or deny... this is exactly what I want to disappear because with these messages I haven't any automatism or real "batch processing"....)
1. After starting the batch process, first message...
::Acrobat PDFMaker::
Acrobat PDFMaker have to save the document before continue. Should PDFMaker save this document and continue?
2. ...and then after some seconds...
::Acrobat PDFMaker::
'Name of my table' - Acrobat PDFMaker can make Tags, Bookmarks and Links only for tables with the printable area "Whole Table". Delete in the section "Page settings" the field "printable are" to avoid this problem.
Would you like to continue and create a PDF File without Tags?
3. .. and finally Excel also have a message for me:
::Microsoft Excel::
Save all changes in 'Name of my Excel file'?
After that the first PDF is successfully created. Then it happens something really strange. I can see in my Acrobat the little window with:
'Name of my Excel File', 2 from 2
(-a progress bar is shown with 50%-)
Please wait. Adobe PDF is making.: 100%
and then i can wait and wait and wait... But nothing more wil happens! :(
Any idea to solve these problems?
To implement the batch processing feature in an own JS function... How difficult is it? Are there any examples/experiences? And the most important thing: can i really disappear the popup messages?
Thanks and sorry for my english... ;)

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

In Bridge CS6, the "Tools" tab is missing the "Photoshop" option to batch process image

Hello!
Does anyone know why in Bridge cs6 under the "Tools" tab, my "Photoshop" option is missing? That is how I have always batch processed images. In Bridge, I choose the images to process, go to the "Tools" tab, down to the "Photoshop" option then to "Image Processor" and process. Now when I go into my "Tools" tab it only has the options: Batch Rename, 4 kinds of Metadata related options and Cache. Can someone tell me why this has happened and how to fix it? Thank you!!!
Eric

Hello Omke,
This problem lasted for two days. I tried many suggestions but nothing worked immediately. Suddenly I turned my computer on last night and it was fixed...inexplicably. Not sure what worked but something did. I appreciate you taking the time to offer advice.
Best,
Eric

How to display custom error message in Job log for batch processing

Hi All,

The custom error are like 'Delovery/Shipmet doe not exits' or others which we can display in online mode like message e100(ZFI) or any other way and accordingly we can handle the program control like come out of the program ro leave to transaction'Zxxx' or anything. But i want my program to be executed completely and accumulate all the error in job log of batch processing.
Can anyone tell me how can i do so...
Thanks,

Batch process to add Javascript to PDF files

Hi All,
I have written a small piece of Javascript for my PDF files. The idea is to add a date stamp to each page of the document before printing. To do this, I have added the following code to the "Document Will Print" action:
for (var pageNumber = 0; pageNumber < this.numPages; pageNumber++)
var dateStamp = this.addField("Date","text",pageNumber,[700,10,500,40]);
dateStamp.textSize=8;
dateStamp.value = "Date Printed: " + util.printd("dd/mmm/yyyy",new Date());
My question is this: Does anyone know of a way to batch process a whole directory (of around 600 PDF's) to insert my Javascript into the "Document Will Print" action of each file?
Many thanks for any information you may have.
Kind regards,
Aaron

> Can I just confirm a few things please? Firstly, should I be going into "Batch Sequences" -> "New Sequence" and selecting "Execute JavaScript" as my sequence type?
Yes, you are creating new batch sequence that will use JavaScript.
> My second question is, how can I insert my body of script into the variable "cScript"? I have quotation marks and other symbols that I imagine I will have to escape if I wish to do this?
You ca either use different quotation marks or us the JavaScript escape character '\' to insert quotation marks
Your will print code will only work for a full version of Acrobat and not Reader, because Reader will not allow the addition of fields. Also each time you print you will be creating duplicate copies of the field. So it might be better to add the form field only in the batch process and then just add the script to populate the date field in the WillPrint action.
// add form field to each page of the PDF
for (var pageNumber = 0; pageNumber < this.numPages; pageNumber++)
var dateStamp = this.addField("Date","text",pageNumber,[700,10,500,40]);
dateStamp.textSize=8;
this.setAction("WillPrint", "dateStamp.value = \"Date Printed: \" + util.printd(\"dd/mmm/yyyy\",\new Date());");

Opening and closing files very slowly -MAC - Batch processing broke illustrator...

I have been batch processing between 15 and 30 thousand svg files over the past few days(simply centreing the orbjects on the art board mergring overlapping objects and saving as AI's) - the individual files are very small 20kb max. this was working fine for a while but suddenly illustrator now takes nearly 30 seconds to open any one individual file - svg or otherwise - and also when I look at illustrator in activity monitor as files are opened illustrator uses 100% of the CPU.
I have no Idea if this is related to all of the batch processing Ive been doing lately but Its the last thing Ive done so...
Also I have run disk utility on my machine uninstalled and reinstalled illustrator with no success..
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks!!

Have you tried at least restarting AI or rebooting the computer?

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!

How to extract data from offline PDF files as batch processing

Hello.
I want to use Adobe Interactive forms as batch processing.
For instances,
1. Users download offline PDF files.
2. Users inputs data on their local PCs.
3. Users upload these PDF files in one folder.
4. Program can read data form PDF files on that folder. and put data to ERP at night.
I' d like to know how to implement a program with Java or ABAP.
Regards.
Koji.

Hi,
It's possible to do it but first be sure that the SAP system can read the directory while your program is executed in background .
Then you have to read the content of the directory and process each file you found.
Look at this standard ABAP object cl_gui_frontend_services , you will find method for browsing a directory and retrieve list of file .
Afterwards you have to process each file , for this have a look at this wiki code sample i wrote for processing inbound mail with adobe interactive form, it should help you [Sample Code for processing Inbound Mail with Adobe Interactive Forms|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/snippets/sampleCodeforprocessingInboundMailwithAdobeInteractive+Forms]
Hope this help you .
Best regards.

Need help with batch processing picture packages

Hi, I am having trouble batch processing picture packages is CS2. (Windows).
I have hundreds of images that need to be processed into picture packages and would love to find a speedier way to do this.
I know how to create an action. I know how to batch process from this action. I also know how to create picture packages, but I cannot get the final result I am after - please read on....
I have seperated all the images into their seperate folders for each style of picture package required.
I can create an action for the picture package required and then do a batch process on the particular folder, but this leaves all the picture packages open on the desktop - as when you chose the close and save in the batch process - this only closes and saves the original image - the picture package has been created as a new document and is on the desktop still open - named Picture Package 1, Picture Package 2 - etc etc.
I hope I am making some kind of sense here... (??!!)
What I would like to happen is that the picture package will be saved over the original file (or to a new folder) with the original file name of the original image or maybe even with an adjustment to file name (e.g - orignal file name sc1234.jpeg - new file name sc1234packA.jpeg)
So is this possible to do?? I'm thinking there must be a way.... i'm sure there are many group photographers out there who come across this everyday??
Otherwise I have to save each picture package manually to original file name (via searching though files to match the original image to the picture package....) Very time consuming.
Thanks for your help (in anticipation)...
Jodie

hmm - thanks for that - sounds like I will have to try and find some info and assistance regarding the scripting - it may be something I need to look into at a later time in the future....
At the moment though I will have to plod along with this method I guess!
Thanks for your assistance...

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!

How to use the same (selection) paths in multiple images for batch processing?

I have a whole bunch of photos I need to batch process, but, when creating an action for this, I stumbled upon the problem that the paths I selected with the pen tool, and saved under the "Paths" tab need to be in every image for to be used in the action. I did try to solve it for some time, but couldn't figure out. Any ideas?
Many Thanks
Carlos

Batch processing usually involves using actions you have recorded. In Action you can insert Path that can be used during processing documents. Path have some size so you may want to only process document that have the same size. Look in the Actions Palette fly-out menu for insert path. It inserts|records the current document work path into the action being worked on and when the action is played it inserts the path into the document as the current work path..

How can I batch process files to change name and extention in the latest photoshop cc ?

Hi,
The batch process function has changed design recently and I cannot get it to change file names in photoshop cc 2014.
I keep getting new layers in the first file to open instead of a renamed batch.
I would also like to convert files to jpeg and resize ( at the same time ? )
thank you for help in advance,
christos

Can't help you with CC, but you cannot change files types by merely changing the extension, regardless of program or version.
