Making a photoshop action open a file

Hello all,
I need to make an action that begins by importing a PDF file with certain settings.  I'm trying to do this by recording myself opening a random PDF with those settings.  However, the action always records me opening THAT specific file from that specific location.  But I need my action to open any given PDF (I plan to make a droplet of this soon) with specific settings.
How should I do this?
Thanks!

PS' behavior toward EPS and PDF have changed. One forum user was able to record an open action on a test TIF, and then unleash the action on a folder of PDFs, and have it behave like you're remembering. I could never replicate this myself. The best I've come up with is to open all the PDFs with one action (this works), and then process them out with another.

    They are opened by Photoshop through the ACR plug-in you should make sure the ACR 5.7 update is installed for your CS4.

    I have a main fillable form.  From this main form the user may need additional forms.  I want to create checkboxes that link to these additional forms.  This part I believe I know how to do (Properties/Actions/Open a File).  What I want to add is a javascript to the checkbox that when the new file (or form) opens some of the data (the repetitive data like name, date, etc.) from the main form is placed into the form opened where the same form fields exist.  Is this possible?

    Yes, but then it all has to be done using a script. You can't use the built-in Open A File command.

  • Make photoshop action that saves file with specific filename

    Is there a way to make a photoshop action that does a SaveForWeb, but adds text to the original filename when saving?
    For example, if I open a file called "coverPage," and I want the action to do SaveForWeb as a JPEG, can I have it save  as "coverPageWEBVERSION"?
    Thanks for your time and help

    No this is one thing you will need scripting for.
    They really should have introduced some modification to the Save dialog that allows file naming additions or modifications triggerable within actions. But they never did.
    As a workaround, Bridge is a good tool for renaming, because naming convensions can be SAVED and quickly applied to groups of files. Not often known fact  - On a mac there are also OS scripts that can do the same thing. There is a script called 'rename items' hidden away somewhere. This is accessable by Control or right clicking on a group of files, and going through the 'automate' submenu

  • Can photoshop CC open raw files from Lightroom 5?

    Trying to open raw files from Lightroom 5 in Photoshop CC 2014, with no luck.
    Anyone?

    Problems are as follows— all versions are current.
    1. When in Lightroom, trying to open a photo in Photoshop,-- choosing Photo>Edit in Photoshop CC 2014— Photoshop opens but no photo appears. The only time a photo opens is if it is a JPEG… CR2 does not open, dng does not open
    2. When trying to open a JPEG in Photoshop, dialog box opens offering choice between "Edit Original", "Edit a copy", or "Edit with Lightroom adjustments", Only choosing “Edit Original” allows photo to open.
    3. When in Photoshop choosing “Browse in Bridge” does not open Bridge… opens CC app and prompts me to install another version of Bridge, or keep version I have.  (See attached screenshot) Either way it’s a malfunction… as I said earlier all versions are leanest.
    PLEASE HELP!!

  • Can photoshop 7 open cs3 files

    I am sending a file to another designer who is using photoshop 7, will she be able to open my file with everything in tact, such as all the the layers and effects (drop shadows mostly/nothing extravagant).
    Thanks Renee

    I'm also having the same problem, but they do not have the option to upgrade and have to stay with PS7 for now.
    I've saved my PSD in CS3 with the preference to maximize compatibility set to "Always", removed all layer styles, layer sets, effects...everything. It's just text layers and pixel layers. They still can't open it.
    Am I doing something wrong or are they just not compatible?
    Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

  • Making Word Default To Open RTF files

    Is there any way to make Word the default opener to open rtf files instead of text edit?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Discussions!
    In the Finder, select (but do not open) a file with the rtf extension. Then go to File->Get Info and, in the window that opens, look where it says "Open with" and select MS-Word. Be sure to select the box that will always do this if that is what you want.

  • Photoshop not opening Raw files

    Workstation using Photoshop CC 14.1.2 will not open a Raw file from a EOS T4i. Adobe's website says the minimum for this camera is the the 7.1 plug-in and the CC 14.1.2 plug-in I'm using is 8.2. Any ideas other then updating the software (it's my employers computer and they only do updates every 12 months, I know…it's a pain in the neck but it is what it is)? Two questions…why will it not open if the plug-in is 8.2 and the minimum is 7.1 and should I try DNG or would that be a waste of time?

    It should open with ACR 8.2.  Does ACR 8.2 start?
    CC 14.1.2 is the latest version of Photoshop CC however its latest ACR version is ACR 9.9 ths same ACR the same version the  newer version of Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 Photoshop.exe version 15.2.2 uses.

  • I have done the latest updates on my photoshop, it is version 14.2.1. What I try to open a file from my Nikon D800 camera NEF file, I get a message saying Photoshop cannot open this file.Can anyone help me with this?

    The message says Ïf you are attempting to open a RAW file, make sure you have the latest update installed. I have completed all the latest updates today but still get this message.

    Sorry to hear your Adobe experience has been less than stellar.  I'll try to help...
    1.  Photoshop 14.2.1 is now two releases out of date.  You might want to go to your Creative Cloud application and ask it to install Photoshop CC (2014).  Earlier this year Adobe released 2014.0 as a separate install that can live side by side with 14.2.1.  Then just a few days ago they released 2014.1 as an in-place upgrade to 2014.0.
    2.  You may be able to update Camera Raw directly to version 8.6 by a link from this page:
    Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
    Best of luck to you.  Please let us know here if these things help.

  • Need assistance with Captivate 7 Action - Open URL/File

    Hi folks,
    I am developing a Captivate application that will be published as an executable.  It contains one slide, containing a number of buttons that will perform various operation.
    My issue is with the Open URL or File option.  I need one of my buttons to launch a small telnet app.  It currently exists on my desktop.  When I browse to find that file, it opens Firefox, and wants to download the file again.
    I need an action that will open the app, not a a web browser.
    Can this be done?
    Thanks in advance
    Steve

    Jim,
    You did it!  It worked.
    I thought about the onLoad function in the new browser, but I couldn't control the menu bar, tool bar etc. without re-directing the user to yet another window.

  • Why doesn't Photoshop CS4 open DNG files created in Photoshop CS5?

    I download raw photo files from my Leica Dlux 4 and convert the Leica raw files to DNG files using CS5 Bridge.  Recently I discovered that when I try to access these DNG files in Photoshop CS4 I get a message saying 'cannot access this file'.  The files also do not show up as thumbnails in CS4 Bridge.  Do I need an upgrade or a plug in to see DNG files created in CS5 Bridge in Photoshop CS4?

    System: Windows 7
    Third party plug-ins: Not to my knowledge?
    Quicktime: I believe so.
    Save Method: I save as two copies, one in the default Photoshop format (PSD) and then I hit "save as" to save as PNG.
