Creating an Action and then Batch Process

Need some help creating an action and then batch processing a file using that action. I was able to do it in previous versions of PS (wish I had kept the action!). For some reason its not working. Keeps creating the same file over and over again. Here goes:
Action:
Open up a PDF (separate PDFs of a PowerPoint Pres, may contain 80-100 pages); convert to grayscale; reduce to 43.2%; save as a TIF and close file.
Batch:
Use this action on all files.
When I create the action it just recognizes the first file that I use as a sample and saves over the result over and over again.
Thanks in advance.
Tom

You probably recorded a save as command in it and changed the name of the file. This change is also recorded and after playing the action it just overwrites the same filename over and over again.
Always leave the filename untouched when recording actions.

  • Running multiple actions in a batch process

    On Adobe's site in the help section, on actions, it states:
    To batch-process using multiple actions, create a new action, and record the Batch command for each action you want to use. This technique also lets you process multiple folders in a single batch. To batch-process multiple folders, create aliases within a folder to the other folders you want to process.
    I have tried to follow these directions, but for some reason, I'm not able to record the batch command. When I create an action and start recording, the batch command is blanked out. I can insert using Insert Menu Item, but it still does not work.
    What am I doing wrong?
    thanks

    You should ask in the Photoshop forum.

    You would need to print the file to a new PDF with the appropriate page size.

  • How do I create a signature,and then add it to an e ailed document?

    How can I create a signature and then use it to sign a document in e mail?

    Not sure I understand the question correctly.
    Open Mail and click on Preferences under the Mail menu. Click on the Signatures icon in the toolbar. You can set up your signatures there.
    But if you are talking about adding a written signature, then you cannot do that within Mail. You would need to scan in an image of your written signature then manually add it to a signature you create in mail as a graphic image. That seems to work.

    Hello,
    If you just do a normal time machine backup on your macbook pro and then plug that harddrive into your new air; you should be able to just use migration assistant to transfer all your files. You wouldnt need to upgrade to mountain lion on your macbook pro.
    Hope it helps,

  • Can I use my iphone5 to create a hotspot and then connect a device that requires a ethernet cable to a lan(router) this router obviously needs to use my hotspot to connect?

    I need to setup Solar inverters remotely some times and I am looking to see if there is a way to use my iphone to connect the inverter to the internet.  My thought is to create a hotspot and then connect the inverter to a router(it has a ethernet cable that can plug into a lan)  The router is then connected to my iphone.  So something similar than a dongle I suppose?

    If you're wanting to share your hot spot with a device that requires an Ethernet connection, you need a device that can connect to Wi-Fi while providing access to that connection via Ethernet.  One idea might be to configure an AirPort Express to serve as a Wi-Fi extender of your hot spot, and plug the solar inverter to the Ethernet port on the Express.

  • When I create an album and then try to watch it in slideshow, I get only a black screen with a white title.  No photos come up.  Also when I click on an individual photo in the album, I get a white exclamation point on a black background but no big photo.

    When I create an album of photos and then open the album and try to watch it by selecting "slideshow" I get only a black screen.  The white title comes up briefly but then no photos, only a black screen.  Also when I go back to the album and click on a thumbnail, up comes a big white exclamation point on a black background instead of the enlarged photo.  Any idea what's going on?

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Is it possible to create a hot folder for batch processing?

    I know that it's possible to make a droplet for preflight, but is it possible to create a droplet or a hot folder for another batch processes (mine crops the pages)? Or at least make a keyboard shortcut? It's so unproductive to go Advanced>Document Processing>Batch Processing>Run>Close (Adobe spoiled us with custom shortcuts in other programs)...

  • ICal creates blank calendars and then quits

    I was publishing my calendars and synching Ical to my .Mac account. Now, Ical keep creating new blank calendars and then quitting! Help!

    Try this:
    Locate the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iCal and drag it to your desktop
    In the folder ~/Library/Prefeences/ delete any files (2-4) that start com.apple.iCal and end .plist
    (~ represents your home directory)
    Start iCal. Let me know what happens. I expect it will start with two blank calendars, no syncing and no publishing, but there are other possibilities. If we get that far we can then try restoring your original calendars.

  • Reinstall EP6SP2P4 and then post processing hangs AGAIN!!!!

    I reinstalled EP Sp2 Patch4 on Solaris and it runs through the install until the very end and then is just hangs....and the reason it hangs is the server cannot start....all logs pcd etc etc show successful deploy of applications during the install....
    it just never completes the portal install post processing....
    This never happens on NT.....what is the deal with Solaris? I never would believe that an SAP NT product is more stable but clearly the Solaris is a POS!!!!

    If you have movement on the stills you can set up expressions based on in and out points. That's what I do. I then drop all my stills in order into a comp then set the out point for all stills for the longest duration. I then set group colors for layers that I want to make different lengths, do a group select and then adjust the out points for those layers. When I'm done I sequence the layers using the keyframe assistant.
    The other way I work is to use an audio track with markers for timing. I have an expression that reads the markers and sets opacity for the layers based on pairs of markers. The motion is also controlled by expressions. That's an even faster way to set up an animated slide show.
    The last way I work is just to set in an out points for all layers, sequence the layers, use expressions to do the motion and then use time remapping on a pre-comp to adjust the timing of the slide show. All methods are quick and easy.
    Here's a fly in bounce and then drop out fxx preset that will give you an idea of how expressions based on in and out point work for slide shows. You just drag the layer to it's resting position, apply the animatiokn preset and the layer flys in, bounces, and then drops out the bottom of the comp. Works in 2D and 3D space.

    Hi,
    The issue could be due to thumbcache.dll still has an open handle to the local thumbs.db file and does not currently implement a mechanism to release the handle to the file in a more dynamic and timely fashion.
