Create an Action: insert square box in a corner of the images

Hello!
I have a problem with the Actions of Photoshop, I wish you can help me: I need to put a square box (or a point, some kind of mark) in the corner of the bottom-left in hundreds of images, so I think an Action is the best way to do it but I don't know how can I do it, because I need that the mark can adapt itself to the size of each image: it have to be the 5% of the size of the original image. And it has to be a square shape, not a rectangle.
I hope you can understand me, my English is not as good as it would be... thank you very much for your attention and your advice!
Best regards!

I have used part of an old script I made some time ago which was created to place a logo on another image.
Using this I can place a square box shape which is 5% of the longside dimension of an image in the bottom left corner. In the example shownbelow, the box solid black and is 50 pixels from bottom and side.
I used a rectangular shape layer for the box.
If this is anything like what might be useful to you, I can let you have a copy of the script. I can probably modify the script a little if this isn't exactly what you are looking for.

    Hello Zeno Bokor!
    Thank you for your answer, that's exactly what I have done this morning in my job, but it have a problem that I don't know how to fix: the mark that I want to insert is not square, because if the image is very high, for example, the mark become a rectangle (not a square). Do you know how to fix this?
    Thank you all for your attention!
    Best regards!

  • I am unable to create an Action to Export from .ai to .psd. The OPEN and EXPORT steps in the Action

    I am unable to create an Action to Export from .ai to .psd.
    The steps in the Action such as Open and Export seem inextricably linked to the file from which the original Action was recorded.
    The steps in the Action do not seem to be generalized commands that I can apply to any folder of .ai files.

    I'd recommend to exactly describe what you're doing. How did you set up your action? Which settings did you choose in the Batch Process dialog? What exactly went wrong? What did you expect instead?
    Whatever issues you're suffering from, there is no way to provide a hasty answer and no way to give an elaborate answer without knowing the details.

  • Is there a way to automatically align and make same size of check boxes/ radio-buttons like in the image below?

    I create PDF forms on daily basis for multiple people around but still, I create a table in Word and then manually convert it to PDF. I'm using Acrobat X and then I manually create radio buttons or check boxes in each cell of the table so aligning those buttons or check-boxes in the same line is a problem. I know there would be some solution to this but can anyone guide me to that? Also, making the same size of the radio-buttons of check boxes likewise ? ? ?
    Please see the image above and advise how to align them in the same line and how to make them same size using Acrobat X?
    Your help appreciated.

    You should create these fields using the Place Multiple Fields command, so that they are aligned properly and all the same size. Read about it here:

  • How to create an action that will crop two sections from one scanned image?

    I'm trying to create an action that will automate the process of cropping the left and right pages from a series of two-page book scans.
    I tried to create a 2 step action which first crops the left half of a scan (by setting the left margin to 0in and the right margin to 6in) and then the right half of the scan (by setting the left margin to 6in and the right margin to. 12in), however when executing, only the left half appears to be cropped.
    I imagine this is due to the fact that once one side of the initial scan is cropped, the other side disappears.
    Is there any way around this?

    Basically i need to create a new document out of a folder full of images.
    You may have to look into Scripting to achieve something like this.
    You could ask in the Scriptimg Forum
    Photoshop Scripting
    But maybe it would suffice to insert the Menu Item
    File – Scripts – Load Files into Stack
    into the Action and then iterate through the Layers with [ or ] and reset the opacities and Blend Modes – but as Actions would not be able to change the number of repetitions of the operation conditionally a custom Script would still seem preferable. 

  • Can i insert a box which will auto populate the time and date it was last updated

    there are going to be a few people updating the same form. I was to insert an autopoulate box which will insert the local date and time?.

    Then create a text field in the location where you want the date to appear (let's call it "CurrentTime"), and then go to Tools - JavaScript - Document JavaScript and create a new item with this code:
    this.getField("CurrentTime").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM", new Date());
    You can adjust the date format string, if you wish.

  • I'm getting a tiny little square box with a cross in the middle on some of my Pages documents. How do I get rid of it? It's where I've got a text box.

    Why is this tiny little box, less than quarter inch in size, appearing in some of my Pages designs? It has a + in the middle of it.

    The cross indicates an overflow of text. Increase the size of the box as needed. Since you didn't indicate that some of the text is missing it may just be an invisible character or that a little more space is needed below the text.

  • Small square boxes appearing on blank lines (UPDATED) - The question is, how to get rid of them?

    *******  As to my display name "All I tried were in use" - when I registered at the Adobe site to use the Browser Lab, I tried something like 10 or 12 user names and finally gave up and went with "All I tried were in use" - my name is Bob
    ------------------------------- UPDATE --------------------
    The problem, small square boxes showing on lines in Freetext Tool comments, is not limited to blank lines, as I originally reported here. These boxes are showing up at the end of every line. It does not matter if the line break is hard or soft, whether the line is empty or not.
    Please read the original post bearing mind that the  problem is occurring at the end of all lines.
    Also - here is a screen capture of a part of one comment box, showing the square lines. I didn't show the entire box because the material above the area I'm showing is a tad private or confidential. Here is the image showing the boxes - note that there is no box at the end of the last line in the comment.
    -------- Original Post ------------
    We have a copy of Acrobat 5.0. and up until now it has done what we need, which is not much more than adding bookmarks, links, and some touch up. I know it is very old and I know things change. I'm hoping this has nothing to do with the release we are using. I would think this would be a backward compatibility issue if it is a problem with newer Reader versions dealing with PDFs "edited" with 5.0.
    I am having small square boxes showing up on blank lines. (read my update above  - the boxes are at the end of all lines, soft break or hard break))
    I'm a programmer (37+ years in most all aspects of Data Processing) and I decided to learn the PHP programming "language" to add some server side processing to some of my web sites. So, I found a fairly good manual on PHP in PDF form and have been using it.
    I quickly found that the PDF didn't have a single link in it and no bookmarks, so I've been adding them as I look up a particular subject. I'm also adding comments and notes to document things not in the original manual or to add comments that would help other programmers` (who know  other languages) to adjust to PHPs' way of thinking - for example: in all the other languages I know (perhaps two dozen) to get rid of a file, you "delete" it. In PHP you "unlink" it.
    I've added a lot of comments and notes like that and when I view the PDF in Reader (on this computer I have 9.4.2) I'm seeing small square boxes on empty lines. The lines were created when I pressed Enter twice to insert a blank line between paragraphs. (again, read the update at the top of this message - the boxes are at the end of all lines, soft break or hard break)
    How can I get rid of them?
    They are not present when I've got the PDF open with Acrobat, only when I'm using an Acrobat Reader.
    They are also not present if I look at the comments using the Comments navigation panel - that is, they still show on the page, but they don't show in the copy of the comment displayed in the navigation panel.
    They are not present in Notes or when I use one of the shape tools (Square Tool, Circle Tool, or Line Tool) to create notes. They are only present in Freetext Tool comments
    They are clearly being show where there are successive line feed/carriage return characters - but how do I get rid of them?
    I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING - I realized that I'd not printed any of the pages on which I have placed comments and wondered if the boxes show when printing the PDF with Reader -- they do. They are not present if I use Acrobat, not a Reader, to print the same page.
    Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
    Please don't tell me to get a newer version - an expenditure like that is simply and totally out of the picture. For us, this is a Depression, not a Recession - we are self-employed and our businesses have been severely hammered since 2006 - we are down to about 1/4 of our income before the big guys trashed the economy.

    P.S. Do you know that you can have a heart attack without chest pain, shortness of breath, or left arm  pain? Well, you can! I've had two and the first one nearly killed me because I had no clue it was a heart attack. You can read about it first one here.  Pass this on, it could save a life.
    My second heart attack occurred on October 4, 20112 - it began, around 3:15 AM, as the first one did, with a headache. It turned out the stent implanted in 2002 had been completely clogged by too much tissue grown. The doctor put another stent inside the first one.

    Problem Resolved - it is a font issue. Apparently Acrobat can't handle particular fonts and it is best to stick with a very small slection of fonts - Arial, Helvetica, Times Roman.
    I haven't test a lot of fonts. If I do, I'll post there results here.

  • Unicode characters stored as "square box" in Sybase

    Hii..

  • Non-english character display as square box

    Hi all,
    I'm not very sure if this question should be asked here or in the JRE board, thus I'm trying here also
    I have been trying an opensourced application called Alliancep2p (could be obtained from www.alliancep2p.com) using JRE 1.6 on an English Windows XP Pro machine.
    The problem:
    all chinese input are displayed as "square box". It looks like the programme "gets" the correct character, only that everything is displayed as "square box".
    It looks like a font issue, though I'm not that sure. Is there anyway the default fonts could be changed, or to get the characters correctly displayed?
    Note: I have east asian fonts installed, and the Java config panel can display chinese or other non-english characters correctly.
    I tried the same application under GNU/Linux (locale is UTF-8) and chinese input/display correctly without any problem at all. Does it mean that it is not the problem of the application, or?
    The original question in the JRE board:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5265369&tstart=0
    Thanks for all the input.

    I'm not really sure if it's a problem of the application or not. But the fact that it works perfectly under Linux makes me think maybe it's not the problem of the program, and actually their developers said that unicode is being used all over the program and seems like they're not CJK users also.
    I'm not a java guru so I can't really tell from the source if there's anything wrong.

    You'll get a faster, more effective response to your questions by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:

    With APEX we're fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.

The main exception to this is in <tt>dbms_job/secheduler</tt> scheduled processes that have no client or UI. If this code is executed from APEX, then APEX issues more than enough commits anyway.

  • Issue in rdf output --getting square boxes in the output

    Hi All,
    I am facing an issue in the report output ...
    'Square box ' are getting printed in the output along with data.
    Can any one of you please let me know if any one solved such issue before???

    Jana,
    This is caused (as was said in one of the answers) by a frame of some kind which has a black outline. Run the Report from the Report Builder and look at the
    previewer output. See where the box is in the output, go to it and change the outline to white.

  • Square Box in AE showing up in Premiere

    I'm using Dynamic Link to edit 2 clips from Premiere in After Effects. There is a white square box with a dot in the center in the composition window in AE... I can't get it to turn off and it is showing up in Premiere... and is visible when exporting etc.  Can anyone tell me how to turn the box/dot off in After Effects?

    Without a screenshot and more details there is no way to have any idea of what you are looking at. The only guess that I have is that you have an unregistered plug-in in AE.

  • How to create an Action Profile for a Survey

    Hi
    Can you please help me with the steps to create an Action Profile for a Survey. Eg. If the user creates a like Lead / Service, Action profile assigned to the Transaction type has to trigger the Survey.
    Thx

    Hi Kalees,
                Survey is nothing but a Questioner that is Represent the Feedback for a Particular Transaction.
    Controlling Survey by a Action Profile is possible to some Extent indirectly.
    One way of Controlling the Survey Execution based on System Status
    Go To:Customer Relationship Management>Transactions>Settings for Activities>Questionnaires>Define Determination Criteria for Questionnaires Define a Criteria Set for a Particular Status,Here what ever Status Assigned are Responsible for the Survey Form to Appear in that Transaction Type at that Particular Status.
    In Define Determination for Questionnaires: Business Activity:assign the Criteria Set that you have Created to your Survey Form
    Go To:Customer Relationship Management>Transactions>Basic Settings>Status Management>Change Status Profile for User Status The Status Profile that you are using Ensure that the System Statuses are Assigned to a User Status on which you want the Survey Determination to Happen.
    Direct Action Trigger for Survy Form is not Possible
    This is one way to Control the Transaction Type Status and in mean you shall indirectly get Control over the Survey Form
    Hope it Answers your Queries..
    Thanks and Regards,
    RK.

  • Trying to create an action to save to web

    When I create an action to save to web, it always saves the file name in the action. Every save after that creates a file to replace the previous one. The actions that came with AI CS4 save the file as the file name.
    How can I create an action to save to web as the file name of the open file?
    Dean

    Check the naming conventions in the save for web panel itself. Unfortunately they introduce their own redundant naming which may conflict with conventional save steps in the action...
