How to preserve original filename in Automator 'render pdf as images'?

Using Automator's 'render pdf as images' will result in output of files in random names
What are the correct workflow if the desired output files would be the original filename? Ex: manual.pdf ---> manual.jpg, manual.pdf ---> 0001bU.jpg
PS: I have tried 'Rename Finder Items--->Make sequential' but it still doesnt produce the desired output, it only makes manual.pdf ---> 0001bU-01.jpg

You convert the CMYK document to RGB using standard color management. The rest is beside the point. We know nothing about your experience in 3D nor your actual artwork, settings, system and so on. Just slapping on a texture on a 3D model doesn't make it look "real" or even photo-realistic. You have to understand lighting, shading and how to prepare textures properly, stuff for which you can find any number of tutorials on the web (though not specifically for PS 3D).

  • Automator: render pdf to images

    I am taking a folder of pdf files all named numerically in the order they should be in and rendering them to images using the automator "render pdf to images."
    This outputs the images with completly random names. Even using the "Rename Finder Items" as suggested right after the Render pdf to images still does not produce images in the right order.
    This is really frustrating as I can't even see how this function could be useful for anyone if it can't produce images with some kind of logical file names.
    Does anyone have experience with this?

    Not sure what the testers of some of these actions were thinking about, but you might try using the Dispense Item Incrementally action to step through your file list one at a time.

  • Automator: Render PDF as Images changes the filename.

    I have a PDF named "Bamboo Cutting Board Sales Sheet.pdf" that contains one image.
    When I run the PDF through the Automator action Render PDF As Images, the filename is saved and changed to "002ddf334.jpg.
    How do I keep the original file name?

    I see. 
    This worked when I tested on 1 PDF:
    The Run Shell Script Action is:
    basename=${1##*/}
    echo ${basename%.*}
    If it's still out of order, add: Sort Finder Items [by creation date] after Render PDF Pages as Images

  • How to preserve original size when converting to PDF in Preview.

    I'm using Preview in Snow Leopard.
    Trying to create multipage PDFs from document scans.
    I'm finding that when the scanned image (tiff, png, jpg) is converted to PDF in Preview the size reduces.
    Selecting 'View actual size' shows the image with sometimes drastically impaired quality.
    This does not always happen. I have some images that stay the same size and quality.
    What factors cause this reduction in size in some images but not in others?
    I'm not sure but this could be only images that have been scanned by me. If so, what do I need to do to prevent the problem?
    These are not large images, just standard size pages.
    I have all the preferences to view at 100%
    This is not for printing, only for viewing on-screen.

    Please!!
    I'm not silly...
    As I said, selecting View actual size shows the image with sometimes drastically impaired quality (regardless of the window size).
    I also said I have preferences set to view at 100%
    It now seems as if this is only happening with scans I've made here.
    Images downloaded from the internet are converting indentically, no problem. But my scans are being resized when converting.
    I wonder if anyone with a bit of technical know-how can give me some clues as to why this is happening. It would seem to be something to do with the file itself.
    (There was another post on here with the same problem but for some reason its been 'archived' though the last posting was this month and the query was not answered. So I've posted the question again.)

  • Save As option to preserve original filename

    I know that this option exists when batch renaming in Bridge, but I am wondering about the ability to do this from Photoshop.
    It would be nice to be able to preserve the RAW filename to a file when saving from Photoshop.
    We do a lot of photography for artists, for cataloging purposes. Often, we rename photographs with the title of the piece of artwork, since that is the easiest way for artists to refer to the images. However, if for some reason we need to go back to the RAW file to adjust exposure or color, it is difficult to locate it because we can't retrieve the camera assigned filename unless we do numerous search by date modified/folder name/etc. queries. If there was an option in Photoshop's Save As dialogue to preserve original file name, it would be much easier to just look at the photograph's metadata and know which RAW file it came from.

    Correct. When you Batch rename in Bridge, there is an option to 
    "Preserve Original Filename," it comes in really handy as far as being 
    able to trace images back to the RAW format, when files are named by 
    the camera with a number rather than with some sort of descriptive 
    element like BlueChair.psd. When clients call to request an image, 
    they are much more likely to ask for the "picture of Blue Chair" than 
    "_DSC7834."
    I am not really familiar with scripting, but I imagine what you're 
    thinking would add a few steps to the saving process, which would be 
    difficult (but not impossible) to implement company-wide. I could also 
    be way off-mark in that assumption.
    Thanks for the tip, though.

  • Automator - When using the Render PDF as Image action, the first file is out of order (naming).  How can I fix this?

    I am creating an Automator Action to render PDF files as Images.  When the PDF is multiple pages, the first page has no numbers, so it ends up at the end of the list.  Here's an example:
    When it is a single page, the result is:
    filename.png
    When it is multiple pages, the result is:
    filename 141.png
    filename 142.png
    filename 143.png
    filename 144.png
    filename.png
    First, it always seems to start at 141...not sure why.
    Second, I did try to add an action to rename and make sequential, however the resulting list was in the same order... except with additional numbers at the end.
    Any suggestions?

    I see.

  • Batch rename only preserved original filename for .pdf

    I attempted to use the batch rename function for the first time just now.  I Renamed 1200 files (.jpeg, .png, .pdf) and made sure to check the preserve original file name box.  When it completed, only the .pdf files did so, and I was unable to undo this action.
    I'm using CS5 Master Collection with all appropriate updates on Windows 8.1.
    Is there anyway for me to retrieve these file names?  I can't understand why this happened.

    Did you try Ctrl+Z?

  • [Automator] Render PDF Pages as Images problem

    Hi,
    I'm using an Automator Action called "Render PDF Pages as Images". It is not working properly. I've also tried one called "Change Types if Images" with the same results. The problem is both of these actions will create an image, but they won't put it anywhere other than a temp directory. With the second action, if I do it on an image file like a jpg, it will convert the image and put it in the directory the file exist in. I have a bunch of PDFs that are really just scanned images that I need to convert to TIFF and I want to automate it. It is frustrating that the actions are not working as documented. Both are supposed to render the change on the existing file in the location it exists and neither is work that way when run against a PDF.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    It's a service item and it contains just one of the actions I've already listed. They are supposed to change the existing file to the desired type, in place.
    no, they are not supposed to do that. they don't say anything of the sort in their descriptions. moreover, this is completely impossible if a pdf file has several pages. I just tried it and it works just fine. I passed a multipage pdf to the action "render pdf pages as images" and it made a number of separate pdf files - one for each page, as it should according to the description. they are temp files, yes. so you just need to follow it by the action to copy (or move files) and then by "rename finder items".
    my workflow:
    1. get specified (or selected) finder items.
    2. render pdf pages as images.
    3. move finder items
    3. rename finder items.

  • Render PDF to Image and Mail

    I have been trying save the following workflow as a Folder Action Plug-in:
    1. Render PDF Pages as Images (To produce a jpeg of a PDF)
    2. New Mail Message (To create an e-mail with the jpeg attached)
    3. Send Outgoing Messages (To send the e-mail)
    When I test the folder, the system appears to skip the Render PDF step and goes straight to creating and sending the e-mail without an attachment. If I save the workflow as an Application it will work, but not as a Folder Action Plug-in. Any idea why not?

    I once posted a VI to create PNG files from LaTeX commands where I used Ghostscript to convert from eps to png.  It turns out, with only a very minor modification the subVI will also convert PDF to PNG.  Try this out.  You can install Ghostcript and then add the path to gswin32c.exe to the path control (if you install to the default location you shouldn't have to change anything other than drive letter).

  • How to send original filename as the attachment name through mail adapter?

    Hi,
    I have a File to Mail scenario where the file is picked up from a folder in R/3 system and is sent as an attachment through mail. The requirement is to send the file unconverted and with the same file name.
    When tried without creating any ESR objects, it was sending the file with the name Untitled.xml.
    Since the filename has to be picked dynamically, I am not able to configure it through module parameters also (where we can set it through Content_Disposition)
    I tried configuring it as mentioned in the following link: [http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=138084630]
    But still it is going as Untitled.xml with the whole mail package as the content of the attachment.
    Any pointers to solve this issue will be of great help.
    Thanks
    Justin

    there is no standard way so you will  have to write module beans.

  • How to preserve custom page numbers when combining PDF's?

    When combining multiple PDF's into one, the custom page numbers are lost.
    Example: As four separate files (one page each), the pages are numbered as follows:  AC-77, AC-78, AC-79, AC-80.  When combining them into a single PDF, the page numbers become 1, 2, 3, 4.
    How can I preserve the original page numbers?

    What is ' custom page numbers' ? How did you create the page numbers?

  • How to preserve colors when using a CMYK PDF as a texture on a 3D Layer (in a RGB document)?

    Hello!
    I'd like to use a CMYK PDF/Illustrator file thats coming from another designer as a label on a 3D object that I imported as a 3D Layer. The Photoshop document is in 16bit RGB mode and has the sRGB color Profile.
    Are these the right requirements to stay as closely to the original CMYK colos as possible? What does the optimal workflow for this look like if the result has to be printed in the end?
    Thank you and regards
    Henning

    You convert the CMYK document to RGB using standard color management. The rest is beside the point. We know nothing about your experience in 3D nor your actual artwork, settings, system and so on. Just slapping on a texture on a 3D model doesn't make it look "real" or even photo-realistic.

  • Automator, PDF to images... where'd they go?

    I think I'm missing something... (I am in Lion, maybe its been fixed in MtL)
    I want to use the Render PDF to Images action, make it into a service, then be able right click on a PDF to convert to PNG.
    I see a few threads talking about a gap in the action: that it doesn't specify where the output file will go.
    The threads talk about workarounds, but ...
    isn't that odd, that Apple would leave the action unfinished like that?
    They offer the option with other PDF actions, image actions.
    Why not this one?

    Hahahah. Thanks.
    Well, it's good that it works now.
    If you have any other projects with automator, there are some good sites you should check out too:
    http://automatorworld.com
    http://www.completedigitalphotography.com
    http://www.macworld.com

    The last link, I have found very helpful, they have a lot of 3rd party actions that do the most unbelievable things with Automator.
    Good luck man.

  • How to include original InDesign filename in the PDF properties?

    In CS3, I used to make postscript files and distill them to PDFs in Acrobat Distiller. When I did this the finished PDF would include info about the author and original filename.
    In CS5 I export directly to PDF. Is there any way to include this data when I export? I know you can add additional metadata in File info, but it doesn't seem to include the original file name.
    Anyone know how to do this?
    V

    Distiller operates on files, so I'm not surprised it can insert the file name, but I wonder where it gets the author?  (I confess I use Distiller as a last resort.)
    One of the charming aspects of XMP metadata is that the names for the different categories of information sometimes change with the context.  Thus were you to put your ID file's name in the ID File Info category Description and export to PDF it will show up in Acrobat/Reader in the Subject category.  If I wanted to record the original ID filename I'd probably paste it there -- in my work Title usually needs to hold the actual title.  One of the scripters could probably come up with a way to automate the process, but I want to check the metadata anyway, and as long as I'm there it doesn't take long to type or paste in the filename.
