Batching SaveAs in CS6 will not save PDF Compatible

So I'm using a script that I wrote to bring in files that were converted from CorelDraw to EPS (this is the best conversion process to preserve text and drawing assets).  Basically the script takes the art in the EPS, groups it, places a rectangular border around the art and centers them.  We do this so that they come into InDesign correctly sized.  The problem is, it used to be 100% automated, just about, however now the saveas action command will not remember that "Save as PDF Compatible" needs to be set to true.  When I do a saveas command, it's check by default, but when the saveas command is batched, it does NOT do it that way.  When I try to bring batched AIs into InDesign, it's text that says it was not saved as PDF Compatible.  Am I going to have to script a save function to get control of the saveas settings?  I don't understand why PDF compatible is checked by default, yet batching saveas saves as if it unchecked it.  Any help would be much appreciated as this is throwing a wrench in my automation.

I know that I can handle the saveas via script and avoid this issue, however I'd prefer let the action portion handle the saveas.  You understand what I'm saying though, right?  The record action button apparently isn't logging the checked box for PDF compatible, though when you click saveas so the record records your action, the dialog shows it as pdf compatible.  In the batch function, if I say override save functions, it works perfectly, but I have to click yes or no on a dialog every single drawing it goes through.  So are you saying I just need to script it because the actions setup is bugged?

  • CS6 will not save keyboard shortcut for dust & scratches filter

    I am running Photoshop CS6 with all updates on a Windows 8 system.  I have several keyboard shortcuts set up that all work fine but when I assign a keyboard shortcut for the dust & scratches filter it will work until I close Photoshop - when I then open Photoshop again this shortcut is gone but all my other shortcuts remain.
    I have tried going back to the default keyboard shortcuts and then adding just the shortcut for dust & scratches (I have tried ctrl-F8 and several others) and then closing Photoshop and opening it again with the same results.  I was able to add back all of my other shortcuts and they work fine.
    For some reason I can assign a keyboard shortcut to anything except the dust & scratches filter.
    Can anyone shed some light on this problem?
    Thanks

    I had a chance to try the script on a windows 8 machine running photoshop cs6 13.01 in both photoshop cs6 versions 32 and 64 bit and shortcuts seem to stay between restarts.
    If in photoshop cs6 you go to File>Scripts you can see that the script is actually listed?
    When i saved the script out of ExtendScript Toolkit i named it Dust and Scatches.jsx.
    Did you run ExtendScript Toolkit as an administrator before saving the script?
    (right click on the ExtendScript Toolkit shortcut (tile) and choose Run as Administrator)
    Saved to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Scripts
    (cs6 32 bit)
    and
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Scripts 
    (cs6 64 bit)
    Another possibilty if you can't get the script to work is using an action (Filter>Dust and Scratches) and assigning a function key for the shortcut.

  • Made changes and selected 'save' but it will not save in directory

    First, let me say I am new to Mac and iWeb in general so I have lots of novice questions, but so far using my Mac for video-related things and working on my website has been great! (Should have switched to mac long ago)
    My question/problem: I built a website using iWeb08 and used Cyberduck (thanks to this forum) to FTP it to my domain. Everything was fine. Today, I changed a page on the site and from the iWeb File menu selected 'Save.' I then went to upload (with Cyberduck) to my domain and noticed when choosing files that the changes had not been saved. I opened iWeb back up and the changes were there, but they are not making it to where I saved the webpage on my computer, so therefore Cyberduck was uploading the old version of the website. What am I doing wrong??
    Thanks in advance!

    Save doesn't do what you think. You need to do File > Publish to Folder for any of your changes to be reflected in what you upload via ftp.

  • Photoshop CS6 - Batch function will not save files

    OK, I have used the "Automate/Batch" function well over a hundred times, so this situation (first time using it in CS6) is VERY frustrating!
    Running Adobe CS6 extended v. 13.0.1 x32 on a Win XP sp3 OS.
    I have a slew of photos that need nothing done except to resize from the native file size to 6 in x 4 in @ 150 ppi and save into a new folder (to not override the original).  I have recorded the action multiple times now and each time I run the action, the files do not save! Here are the various parameters I've used:

    Please help!  This has never been a problem before CS6 and I truly am at my wits end trying to figure out why the files will not save.  I have several hundred files that I need to run this on, so doing it individually is not an option.
    Thanks in advance for any and all insights!

    I'm having a problem with Automating > Batch as well. Strange enough, I did a batch of other photos and it worked fine. Selecting a new set of folders is not working at all; the files simply pop open and then close but the destination folder remains empty. It also doesn't appear the actions are occuring since I don't see them highlighting as the automation runs. I have no idea why it would work then not. BTW, "Override Action "Save As" is unchecked.
    ~CG
    UPDATE: I put a "save as" command at the beginning of the action, then checked the "Override Action "Save As" box and it somehow works now, but not before stalling on an image (normally the last in the folder) and complaining that the image was being used in another program. The only other program opened was Bridge so I'm unsure why it had a problem. I closed both programs and ran the automation with nothing else opened and it worked ... ?? Confused, but not complaining (for now).

  • Safari 7.0 will not save PDF

    My Safari 7.0 will not save PDF files that can be opened, what do I need to do to get this function working again?

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • PDF, with electronic signature, will not save. In Finder it's nowhere, tried multiple times..

    Started in Preview to save...but PDF, with electronic signature, will not save. In Finder it's nowhere, tried multiple times.

    I am having the same problem with signatures.  I am including a form in a pdf portfolio to collect signatures from different users who have Reader.  I make sure that features have been extended for reader. Most of the time they are okay.  But every once in a while (at least one every two weeks) I get a user telling me they can't sign.  No message or error of any kind, just a quick blink but no signature.  As a work-around I've had to save a copy and re-extend features.  This can be time consuming when there are a few documents I need to circulate.  Please advise.

  • CS6 Save for Web will not upload to Facebook

    I have edited a series of photographs that I want to upload to Facebook, and it seems that any file I save from Photoshop CS6 will not upload.  Facebook reports the following error:
    Security Check Required
    A security check is required to proceed.
    Below is a snap shot from my Save for Web dialog box, and I don't see anything there that would prevent me from uploading the said image to Facebook
    Adobe Photoshop CS6 V13.00 64bit Extended
    Mac OSX 10.7.4    
    The facebook error I get is:

    No, I have not received any flags...
    I am able to upload photo's I saved from CS5, just not from CS6...  I was able to upload these photographs once I imported them into Aperature, and had Aperature process the images...
    Its weird.. I have no explanation.

  • The memo feature will not save on my PDF attachment

    The memo note feature on the adobe reader will not save on the PDF attachment.  Any Idea how to correct?

    If the pdf is part of an email, you need to download the attachment separately. Add your comment to the downloaded email. It will not become part of the email you received as an email.

  • Safari 5 will not Save a pdf

    Apparently since the OS 10.7.4 upgrade, Safari will not save a pdf from a google search page. Error message is "cannot export  (file name)". Any Mac users know what is going on here? Firefox works fine. I've ;ooked in Safari and Finder prefs but can't find anything that would relate to this. Trying to download some Camera RAW tutorials. Bookmarked them in Safari, and later d/l  in Firefox which sends them to Finder> Downloads by default.

    For anyone else who runs into this problem, go to your hard drive's Library/Internet Plugins and trash the two AdobeReader plugins that have PDF in their name, then restart Safari.   Many others have had this, starting with some Adobe update. It si probably not copnnected to 10.7.4, since one complainer was using Snow Leopard.

  • InDesign Will Not Save or Save As in CS6 or CC

    This has been an ongoing problem. I have Adobe Creative Cloud. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, updated to new versions. ONLY problems with INDesign.
    Will not SAVE or SAVE AS./
    I have been forced to export as In Design Markup (IDML) file as a workaround, which is not helpful at all.
    Save and Save As options are grayed out and unavailable.
    ANY IDEAS anyone? I see that there are others on discussion board for this issue, but no one seems to have successfully cracked this nut.
    In Design version 9.2.2
    Mac OSX 10.9.4, 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, 1600 MHz DDR3. Plenty of machine.
    Thanks

    Dear Bonolgirl55,
    This has been a very frustrating experience - and I know there are many others out there dealing with this same problem. I have had several email and live chat conversations with the INDesign team about this. They have not yet solved the problem (they are reportedly aware and working on a fix for future update), but we did find two workarounds to the problem.
    First workaround is to export as IDML files and open that way. That is a maddening solution, you will find, and still does not allow you to UNDO or use the program to its maximum efficiency. It does help you prevent complete loss of your work however.
    Second workaround -- assuming you are using a Mac -- was to create a completely new Mac User on your computer, logout of your current user, then login to new user and reopen InDesign there. When I did that, InDesign had no problems at all. It worked fine. The issue with that, of course, is that you have to make sure your files and graphics are all copied over to new user Documents file, or or otherwise accessible from a shared drive somewhere. This solution allowed me to use InDesign without any of the Save / Save As / Undo issues -- but obviously undercut workflow productivity between Adobe programs and with other files, email, etc. as I was essentially cut off from my normal desktop work environment and lacked easy toggle between Mac Users.
    I am afraid that I have no other solution to offer, and I don't know when Adobe will figure this out. My problem ONLY applies to InDesign (I am a Creative Cloud subscriber). It's been very unpleasant and annoying.

  • Adobe Reader will not save or show the Save dialog

    Hello, we use adobe reader a lot where I work, mostly with filling out pre-made "Form" type PDF's and saving them in customer folders on the server, as of last friday my adobe reader will not allow me to save pdf's, I have attempted to edit and save, edit and save-as, I tried simply saving as without making any edits. I also tried to open a PDF online (specifically http://www.ncu.edu.tw/~ncu25352/Uploads/201312311030531151830864.pdf ), tested that PDF on another PC and it would allow me to save it.
    I uninstalled Adobe reader 11 and reinstalled from the website ( get.adobe.com/reader ), I then uninstalled anything on the pc that relates to PDF's that I could find (which was just reader and a dictionary add-in for reader 9) and attempted to reinstall without any change in the problem.
    To recap, PDF's will not save, and when I click save-as no save dialog pops up, I cannot save via the IE add-in either.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated by both my boss and myself!

    You mention IE, so I assume that you are on Windows.
    How are you trying to save that PDF, using the IE menu bar File Save as, or the floating toolbar in the Adobe Reader plugin?

  • Aperture 3.0.2 will not save Print Presets

    I am extremely frustrated right now as I burn through very expensive paper. Aperture 3.0.2 will not save any of my Print Presets. I have two Epson Printers a Epson Photo 900 and and Epson R2400. I want to print to the Epson R2400 and when I do, the photo comes out all screwed up it keeps putting in Adobe PDF 9 as the printer. I had my printer completely dialed in and could print orders with no problem in Aperture 2.0 lost all those settings upgrading to 3.0. Attempted to duplicate them, but it will not save my Printer or Paper Size. I have an order to fill and it's looking like it's going to cost me money because of all the paper I am wasting trying to get this to print. Tried numerous posted tricks and nothing is working.

    I discovered the image quality was a more basic duh thing. Had to clean my print heads. However, the Presets will STILL not save my printer or paper size.

  • Scan will not save

    Windows 8.1 - HP MFP1536 will not save the scan. You can see that the document has been scanned but it will not save it. I tried saving the scan to different file types such as .pdf or .jpg. No go. When I run HP Scan doctor jit just sits there and churns away.
    This is a follow-up to a situation about a month ago where the scanning control panel would not even open after a forced windows 8.1 upgrade. At that it was recommended (on this forum) that the HP print software be uninstalled and reinstalled. I did that and it resolved the one issue - getting a scanning control panel. I never checked the functionality of the scanner at the time as this is my wife's machine. Today she neede to scan an item and it will not save.
    What should I do?

    I am sorry that you are still seeing nothing. I would like to find out if scanning is successful on your machine. During a scan the HP Scan software saves scanned images to the user's temp folder prior to finalizing and saving the scanned document. Please try another scan, but before clicking 'Save' or 'Done' in the scan preview dialog, check the current user's temp folder location for scanned images.
    Location of current user's temp folder: C:\Users\<current user>\AppData\Local\Temp\hpscanNNNN\
    where <current user> is the name of the current user on the system and NNNN is a random 4-digit number (you will have to choose the hpscannNNNN folder that was most recently created).
    (Hint: you can enter %temp% in Windows Explorer as a shortcut to the above folder path)
    (NOTE: you will need to allowing viewing of hidden files and folders to see the 'AppData' folder)
    In this folder should be the scanned files that are "ready to be saved". If files exist, then the scan was successful and there is something (a bug in the software?) that is preventing you from saving the files. If no files exist, then the scan was not successful (a different type of bug in the software or drivers) - and you shouldn't see any scanned images in the scan preview screen.
    If you see scanned files in the temp folder, then you can use them (cut & paste to your folder location). But, this doesn't solve the larger problem of saving to your chosen local folder location.
    Another thing to try: save a file using a different application to the same folder location you are trying to save scanned documents. For example, try saving a BMP from Paint or a TXT from Notepad. Does this work?
    Uninstalling and reinstalling the HP software probably will not help, but you can try this again if you'd like. (You mentioned in your original post that you already performed a uninstall/reinstall.)
    Regarding the HP Scan and Capture application, most of the 'not-so-good' reviews had to do with connectivity of the scanning application to various HP All-in-One printers. Many of these connectivity issues have been corrected; and, if HP Scan and Capture application can successfully connect to your device, then is a good, albeit simplistic, scanning application that will allow you to save your scan to a file. It might be worth a try. (If you don't like it, then you can always uninstall it.)
