Batch processing passwords.

Hi All,
Bit of a strange one for you here.
After many weeks of not getting great results using methods such as admitmac, and other AD integration techniques to get a working solution in our local authority (council & schools).
We have decided to go the Xserve/OD/AFP homefolder route.
However, we have used a great web based ldap admin tool called phpldapadmin, and a pc server based ldap admin tool called umra to remotely log in and "hard edit" the xserves OD, we have done this by mapping AD attributes to apples OD attributes such as username > UID, etc etc so we have got a good system to mirror AD into OD. We have managed to populate Open directory, and are pleased with the results.
However, although we are sending a password (which is actually just the same as the username) it does not work.
I have to manually go into workgroup manager to change the password, then the account works.
Is there a way to batch change all the passwords on OD so that they match the username? this would be a great help.
Best Regards,
Brad Holland
Salford City Council

Thank you Try67. That did the trick!
If it may help someone, the checkbox looks like this when the batch mode is set:
and like this when interactive mode is set (and the passwords are not added unless you rekey them each time):
To change them, you need to edit the Batch sequence, then press the "Select commands..." and just click the box to remove the three dots. Click "OK" twice, then Run the sequence.

URGENT, please help...Removing password security using Batch Processing

I have a few thousand PDFs which me and a team of colleagues have password protected but these now need the security removed. Is there anyway we can batch process the removal this security? I was thinking that if I added them to the watched folder and ran the batch process I've set up which has no security I may be asked for the password/ s (there are 5 passwords I used in total) and it could remove the password for those attached to that password and then I run the same for the other 4 passwords....any ideas at all would be really appreaciated.
Many Thanks
Claire

Two solutions come to my mind:
1. As i remember there is the option to run a batch-processing in Acrobat (Prof.). Maybe you can set up a new batch which removes the protection.
2.
Otherwise i have a programm (with a special pdf library) which could be adapted to do that. You can contact me for some details.

Batch process watermarks or password security

Is there a way to batch process watermarks?
Is there a way to batch process a security password?
I want to either apply a watermark or set a security password to 100 photos that will be emailed. Surely this would not have to be done one at a time. I am new to this and haven't found the process.

Batch processing different files or not?

Hello, I would like to know if It's possible to batch processing feature with the Acrobat standard version 9.
I want to securize a bund of pdf files from their filename. What's the best version to deploy this subject, standard or professional? I'd like to do a similar shell where I can define a password per file and to establish a security policy.
Do I need the SDK or API or only needed Acrobat Professional?
How can I realize this one?
How would you do that?
Thanks

Hello, ok, then I must adquire the Professional version. Even so, I'd like to know if it's possible secure the collection files with different passwords in an unique process with other ways, ie. from SDK that's free now... or the best good option is batch processing with Professional edition.
In other words, Do exist other ways to do it that I haven't contemplated yet?
Thanks!

Acrobat Pro X batch processing different in Win 7

Greetings,
My company just completed moving everyone from Win XP to Win 7 (yes, I know, but better late than never). I regularily use Acrobat Pro X to batch process and password protect large numbers of a variety of documents (Word, Publisher, Excel and PowerPoint 2-up printouts.)
Under Windows XP the process was pretty straight forward:
1) Open Acrobat Pro
2) Secect "Batch Process" File -> Create -> Batch Create Multiple files... (a window appears).
3) Drag a large group of documents into the window (you can drag over 50 docs, it doesn't matter), then begin the process (which automatically walks through all the documents and PDFs them.)
4) When the process is complete, open up the Action Wizard File -> Action Wizard -> Select the appropriate action
5) A window appears, drag the PDFs into the window and go. All PDS quickly get the security applied.
Done
With Windows 7 the functionality is different (I really don't know if it is the operating system change or some type of policy change that I am unaware of). The process is far slower because I literally have to PDF and Apply Security to each document one at a time. The process goes like this:
Under Windows 7:
1) Select a group of documents, but NO MORE THAN 15.
2) Drag the documents over the "Acrobat Pro X" icon and launch them this way. Each document created a "temporary PDF". Multiple windows open up, stacked on top of each other.
3) Go to each window individually and first save the file (that way the file name is preserved), then go to the Action Wizard and apply the security. Then close the PDF.
4) Repeat this process for each open window (document).
5) Repeat as necessary until you have the several hundred documents processed.
Literally this is a "hands-on" process for each document. Is there a better way? Am I missing something in the Acrobat or Windows 7 settings?
If I try to batch process the old way under Windows 7 I get a series of error messages for each document. (I can't even get to the action wizard process.)
Any suggestions?
Is there a third party app that will work without having to administer it so much?
Thank you,
TPK

Hi Test Screen Name,
While reproducing the problem I realized I was in error as to how far in the sequence the problem occured. I actually do get as far as batch creating PDF,. The only difference there is that I can no longer "drag and drop" files in the batch create window. I have to use the "Add files..." command in the upper left of the batch create window.
So, the application batch creates the files. Afterward, I use the Action Wizard to batch "Password Protect" the files. It is during this command run that the error occures. (Note: I am trying to save over the old files by having them save to the same directory under the same name, just like I used to be able to do.) The error I get is:
Action Completed.
Saved to: \\HOME\path-to-original-files\
Warning/Errors
The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document in a different
Document: Name of document1.pdf
Output: Name of document1.pdf
The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document in a different
Document: Name of document2.pdf
Output: Name of document2.pdf
The error message loops through all the documents. I don't have the documents open or in use. By default they shouldn't be "read-only". This all did not occure when I previously used the application with Windows XP.
I have not yet tried saving them to a different directory. I will try that later today. (I didn't want to have a lot of versions of the same documents, it tends to be confusing.)
Thank you for your reply,
TPK

Batch Processing, Security Removal

I am attempting to OCR large batches of documents with Adobe Acrobat 9. Some of the documents have security settings which make them un-editable. Is there any way to use a batch process to remove these settings?
Thanks!

To change "password security" to "none" in a sequence you need to set the appropriate preferences first to do that.
In 'Edit - Preferences ...' chose Batch processing and set Security Method to Password Security.
After that there will be a password request every time before you run a sequence, but now it's possible to run sequences with protected files.

Script for batch processing

Hello
I need help
I created a batch sequence which set watermark and security to pdf files from one directory. Now i want to create another sequence: 1. set security to none and 2. delete watermark.
I have a problem with set security to none because every time i need change preferences for batch process to security method=password security by hand.
Maybe there is a way to change this settings with java script in batch "execute java script"?
Or how i can change with batch sequence a security method from passsword security to "none" if i know password
Thanks in advance

Create a "blank" batch process (ie, without any action), but under the Output Options tick the box to optimize the files and set the optimization settings you want to use.

Can't batch process opening files with certicate encryption

Using Acrobat 9.0 pro.
I am unable to batch proces files that are certicate encrypted.
When batch processed a dialog message appears that reads;
Cannot open document
No files were processed
I have used the instructions that adobe has for using the associated digital id and ensuring this is logged in.
And also have set preferences for batch processing security method to certificate security, no password and, password security.
FYI: I Don't have livecycle so can't try this.
Can anyone help with a solution for doing this.
I was able to create certificate encrypted files using batch processing so can't understand why I now can't open and print file created this way, since
Acrobat help indicates this can be done.
Adobe instructions indicate this should work??? What's wrong here.
Thanks in advance

I may have to do with the name of the folder, such as having periods or slashes in the folder name.

Batch Processing HDR

I've got to be making this unnecessarily hard... Bridge CC, PSCC, LR5.x
I've got a bunch of HDR sets, I want to process them into 32-bit files that LR will read (which as near as I can tell, means tiff). I want to do them in large bunches, not one at a time.
I"ve got Nik HDR Efex Pro, which doesn't appear to do batch.
I've got Photomatix 4.2, which does batch but doesn't appear to save 32-bit tiffs in batch.
HOW do I batch a bunch of sets and process them? I"ve seen a script, but isn't there some built-in way of using batch processing or Image processing or SOMETHING more efficient?

I THINK V5 of Photomatix may save 32-bit tiffs,
No, not after tone mapping or fusion, you can set prefs to open the file as 32 bit and then save as floating pointing tiff, but honestly, I only looked at it once and since my (nor most or any at all) monitor can't show 32 bit colors properly I would not know what to do with it I'm afraid.
But this option is also available in PP 4
but unfortunately I have V4 and when I tried the free update to V5 it told me my V4 was an upgrade password, so even though V5 is a free upgrade apparently it's not free if you've already upgraded to V4….
I had the same struggle but I believe this was due to having a to old license for version 4 (mine was almost 4 years old) for being entitled for a free upgrade. However they charge the very reasonable fee of $ 29,00 so I can't say they are to blame for this
And at the moment HDR Efex Pro V2 isn't working at all with CC. It crashes every time I try it. Even doing the instasllation as instructed in other topics here say, it's not working. I'll have to keep fiddling with it.
There are some strange things happening with NIK (maybe the transition to Google has something to do with it, I remember iView Media Pro being screwed thoroughly by Microsoft after they bought it and changed it to Expression Media…).
Never used NIK my self but both HDR Efex Pro 2 and/or Selective Tools are to my believe responsible for the rare ACR Exposure slider set back in combination with OSX Mavericks. If you remove one of the aforementioned plug ins from the Google folder (previous called NIK) in the PSCC plug in folder the ACR bug is gone.

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.

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

Hi All,
I am rexecuting one R/3 report in batch mode and i want to display all the custom error i have handled in job log when its executed from SM36,SM37. 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!
