MULTIPLE place image import...& "save as.." multiple layers to multipage PDF

Hello,
just some suggestions I`d like to see to speed up my set up and output..
i`d like to import multiple placed images into illustrator CS4. So open dialogue box place, and multiple select images for placing.
regards output save as...
Can we output multiple layers  into a single PDF in illustrator?  Or multiple layers into single JPEGS  from illustrator with one command instead of individually saving out  each layer... would be a huge time saver for me.I create different artworks on different layers..
Currently  I output each completed layer individually and then right click those  outputted jpegs in their output folder and choose "combine supported  files into acrobat..." to make a single acrobat file..i`d like to do this right in the illustrator "save for PDF" dialogue box. Adding  something in the Save for PDF output dialogue box to save layers to one PDF as multiple pages would be a helpful time saver..
I`d  also like to be able to CTRL click multiple layers and go " save as..."  only those layers get saved out... 

, bridge -FILE/PLACE into ai, goes to separate layers in AI as placed.
in PS, bridge/tools/ps/load files into ps layers.. CS4.
just using right click in explorer on individual PDF docs from layers saved from PS to combine to PDF. but cannot output multiple pds from layers in AI in CS4.

  • SCRIPT TO IMPORT MULTIPLE PLACED IMAGES..AND OUTPUT MULTIPLE IMAGES TO SINGLE PDF.

    In CS 4 and CS 5 you can drag and drop fro m the finder or the Bridge, and I guess any other similar type viewer, multiple number of image files to a document. You can configure the bridge in such a way as to allow you to see the Bridge and your document at the same time for this very purpose.
    If you just drag and drop the files are linked if you drag while holding the shift key then the files will be embedded.
    ID and PS CS 5 have a minibridge which works the sam way but is an actually panel and will stay in the front.
    I separate the images but they import one on top of another.

  • Multiple Photoshop Image Import

    In Premiere Pro CS6, is there a way to import multiple Photoshop files without having to choose "Merged Layers" for each image? I am importing 1000 images that I'd like to keep the layer info intact for (ie, not flatten) and it is proving to be VERY time comsuming.
    Thanks!

    It's not possible even in the newest CC 7.1.  Layered PSD files are one at a time only.  I can definitely see the usefulness of a "Remember My Choice" checkbox on that dialog, though.

  • Multiple still images imported (how to change timing AND do multiple transitions)

    I imported into the project resources many still photos.  The defaut time for each seems to be 5.1 second.  If I drag them into the timeline, select them all and change the duration there are time gaps between images...how can I scrunch them together easily OR how can I change the default time duration before I drag them to the timeline?
    Second...if I have all my photos on a timeline can I set the transition effect on more than two at a time?  Can I set the transition for all of them at once (a different query)
    Thanks,  -bill

    I imported into the project resources many still photos.  The defaut time for each seems to be 5.1 second.  If I drag them into the timeline, select them all and change the duration there are time gaps between images...how can I scrunch them together easily OR how can I change the default time duration before I drag them to the timeline?
    When you've selected your still and used the Speed/Duration command, be sure to tick the "Ripple Edit, Shifting Trailing Clips" option in the panel. That will remove any empty space between clips that would otherwise be generated when decreasing the duration of your clips.
    Second...if I have all my photos on a timeline can I set the transition effect on more than two at a time?  Can I set the transition for all of them at once (a different query)
    Yes, though there are two preliminary steps. First, in the Effects panel click the flyout button (that stack of pancakes with the little downward facing arrow) or go to Edit > Preferences > General and select the Default Transition Duration option and change it to your desired setting. Second, in the Effects panel, select the transition you want and right-click it and select "Set Selected as Default Transition".
    Now, select your clips/stills in the timeline and go to Sequence > Apply Default Transitions to Selection; the transition you just set up will be applied to all of your clips. Note that, by default, this will add audio transitions as well, if you're using combined video/audio clips (probably not a worry in your case as you're using stills), but you can hold down the Alt key to select just the video or just the audio portions of your clips, if you only want one transition type or the other. You can also temporarily lock any tracks where you don't want transitions before you use the command.
    Also, since you're working with stills, you don't have to worry about handles; if you import a still into Premiere, even if its duration is only a single frame, you have an indefinite/infinite amount of frames to use for editing and transition purposes. Video/audio clips are a different story, of course...

  • How to place into indesign a specific page of a multipage pdf document through bridge

    Can anyone let me know if this is possible and if so how?
    Many thanks

    Can anyone let me know if this is possible and if so how?
    You can't use Bridge for this directly, you either have to use Acrobat Pro, PS  or other PDF dedicated software to extract the wanted page first and after saving this file you can use Bridge to place it.
    On a Mac you can even use the basic preview application, open the PDF in preview, choose showing thumbnails and just drag and drop the thumb of the wanted page to the folder you are working on in Bridge.

  • Automatically place images within multiple InDesign documents

    I work for a publishing company of agricultural trade magazines and work on few titles each month. We are trying to streamline our production procedures and previous company I worked for had a script they used to place images within text pages by searching for the file name, however there were some limitations with this script (it would only work within 1 InDesign document and only within 1 InDesign story at a time). The company I am with now breaks out each editorial story into separate InDesign files and we place image boxes when the display ads are going to go. For our purposes now, I am looking for a script that, once all of the image boxes were tagged with the image file names, could search between multiple InDesign documents in a folder and automatically place all the images for us. Is anything like this available or able to be created? If so, would it have the capacity to search between multiple InDesign documents and search the entire document for the image file names? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Kasyan,
    They were tagged using a program called Pathways created by a computer programmer the company used at the time. The issues that I was working on were annual Buyers' Guides so they were mainly just listings and inline graphics. The kinds of issues I work on now are monthly issue with various stories and no inline graphics, but display advertisements. And each story is created and laid out in a separate InDesign document. So I would need a script that can search an entire group of documents for file names and/or image boxes instead of just in one story in one document for inline graphics. (sorry if this is confusing).
    I currently do not have a script to work from and am looking for something new that can be used to save use the time of placing every ad manually.
    Thanks for your help and feedback!

  • How to use in enums in multiple places?

    How does one use an enum set in multiple places in a vi?
    I have resorted to just copying an existing one when I need the same set of enum values in a different spot, but doing it this way will be a big hassle if/when I want to add items to the enum, because I would have to locate every copy of the enum and update them idividually.
    Is it possible?

    It's not so much the "custom control" part as it is the typedef part. A typedef enforces the datatype for all its instances, including constants, so changing it will propogate through your entire code. To create it the easiest way is to create a front panel enum control and then right click it and select Advanced>>Customize. You can then change it into a typedef and save it under any name you want.
    From this point on, you can simply use that typedef in your code.

  • Aim to process all files in folders on desktop to run through photoshop and save in multiple locations

    Aim to process all files in folders on desktop to run through photoshop and save in multiple locations
    Part one:-
    Gather information from desktop to get brand names and week numbers from the folders
    Excluding folders on desktop beginning with "2" or "Hot"
    Not sure about the list of folders
    but I have got this bit to work with
    set folderPath to "Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Desktop:DIVA_WK30_PSD" --<<this would be gained from the items on the desktop
    set {oldTID, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, ":"}
    set folderName to last text item of folderPath
    set my text item delimiters to "_WK"
    set FolderEndName to last text item of folderName
    set brandName to first text item of folderName
    set my text item delimiters to "_PSD"
    set weekNumber to first text item of FolderEndName
    set my text item delimiters to oldTID
    After running this I have enough information to create folders in multiple locations, (i need to know where they are so that photoshop can later save them in those multiple locations
    So I need the following folders created
    Locally
    Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Pictures:2011-2012:"WK" + weekNumber
    Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Pictures:2011-2012:"WK" + weekNumber: brandName
    Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Pictures:2011-2012:"WK" + weekNumber: brandName: brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_LR" --(Set path for Later)PathA
    Hal 9000:Users:matthew:Pictures:2011-2012:"WK" + weekNumber: brandName: brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_HR"--(Set path for Later)PathB
    Network
    Volumes:GEN:Brands:Zoom:Brands - Zoom:Upload Photos:2012:"Week" + weekNumber
    Volumes:GEN:Brands:Zoom:Brands - Zoom:Upload Photos:2012:"Week" + weekNumber:brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_LR"  --(Set path for Later)PathC
    Volumes:GEN:Website_Images --(no need to create folder just set path)PathD
    FTP (Still as a normal Volume) So like another Network
    Volumes:impulse:"Week" + weekNumber
    Volumes:impulse:"Week" + weekNumber:Brand
    Volumes:impulse:"Week" + weekNumber:Brand:brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_LR"  --(Set path for Later)PathE
    Volumes:impulse:"Week" + weekNumber:Brand:brandName + "_WK" + weekNumber + "_HR"  --(Set path for Later)PathF
    I like to think that is end of Part 1
    Part 2
    Take the images  (PSD's) from those folders relevant to the Brand then possibly run more applescript that opens flattens and then saves it in the locations above.
    For example….
    An image in folder DIVA_WK30_PSD will then run an applescript in Photoshop, lets call it DivaProcessImages within this we then save to PathA, PathB, PathC, PathD, PathE, PathF the folder path of C should therefore look like this
    Volumes:GEN:Brands:Zoom:Brands - Zoom:Upload Photos:2012:Week30:DIVA_WK30_LR and of course save the image as original filename.
    Then from the next folder
    An image in folder Free_WK30_PSD will then run an applescript in Photoshop, lets call it FreeProcessImages within this we then save to PathA, PathB, PathC, PathD, PathE, PathF the folder path of C should therefore look like this
    Volumes:GEN:Brands:Zoom:Brands - Zoom:Upload Photos:2012:Week30:Free_WK30_LR and of course save the image as original filename.
    The photoshop applescript i'm hoping will be easier as it should be a clearer step by step process without any if's and but's
    Now for the coffee!!

  • How to open multiple RAW images in Elements 7

    With Elements 5 I can open any number of RAW images and process each one separately, one at a time, applying corrections to each image individually in the RAW dialogue, clicking Open Image, repeat.  When done each image is in the work space, allowing me to work further, crop, fix, Save as JPEG, CLOSE, etc.
    With Elements 7 the capability to process multiple RAW images in the workspace seems to have degraded.  I must process one RAW image at a time, or open many RAW images, Select All and have the correction(s) I apply to the first RAW image apply to all the RAW images.  The first alternative is very time consuming while the second alternative is not acceptable.
    Any help appreciated in how to regain the function I had with Elements 5. 

    If I select more than one image in the
    left pain, either individually or by
    Select All, Elements 7 dutifully opens
    the RAW images selected in the
    workspace.
    The rub is that Elements 7 then applies
    the RAW adjustments from the RAW image
    dialogue (e.g., Brightness, Contrast,
    Clarity) for the first RAW image to all
    the RAW images
    before placing them in the workspace for
    further editing.
    Elements 5 provides a RAW image dialogue
    for each RAW image individually, one at
    a time, when I open them en masse.   As
    near as I can tell, Elements 7 does not,
    forcing the user
    to either open each RAW image
    individually or presume that the RAW
    adjustments made to one image should
    apply to all the others before opening
    them in the workspace for further
    editing.
    This presumption will generally be a bad
    presumption, forcing the user to the
    one-at-a-time option, which is very,
    very slow.
    Thank you again,
    Paul M.

  • Multiple place and fit content

    I have several chapters of a book done in CS2. These were sent out and edited by a third-party in CS4 (communication issue there).
    So they were backsaved as an .INX file and now I'm using CS3.
    Problem is that the embedded images and links to 20 or so illustrations were not honoured and defaulted to "foo. jpeg" in the links pallette when I opened these in CS3.
    The embedded images (excel graphs) I'm not worried about, it's the linked images which I now have to go in and manually relink.
    The graphic frame and content boundary is intact so re-linking seems to work fine, but I'm wondering If i can select the art and multiple place each image within it's corresponding frame and have the attribute  "fit content proportionately" assigned at the same time.
    Do I use an object style?? I'm not too familiar with this, so if anyone can run me through the simple steps, it would be appreciated.
    Also, I noticed in CS3 that the number of icons for fitting content are reduced on the toolbar (see image circled) compared with CS2?
    Are the options to "fit content to frame, center content etc" only available from the drop-down menu or from the short-cuts?
    Thanks in advance,
    Julian

    Peter,
    Yip, those would be the icons I was looking for, but maybe they weren't visible depending on what i had selected, since I swear I looked for them..but there they are in my screenshot
    I was thinking a basic object style with just fram-fitting option selected to "fit content prop.", but I guess you are right in that the time saved would probably be negligible.
    Any idea as to why the links broke - just a consequence of back-saving??

  • Why filter causes multiple identical images in gridview to display in literoom 4.3?

    I have not been able to find why multiple identical images are displaying in gridview when filters are applied.  There is only one image in the folder.  This obviously makes it difficult to apply images to keywords.
    I simply can't find the reason.  Neither is there anything in help on this issue.

    I am in the process of organizing my Literoom images and filter displays
    MULTIPLE IDENTICAL IMAGES, under METADATA STATUS changed. .
    Computer info - Literoom 4.3, windows 7, some 55,000 images on the hardrive, one
    catalog used.
    When I go to folders, and click on J drive which holds these images, they all
    come up if filter is off of course. Now using metadata I search on a date, a
    camera, lense, etc. But I just want to find all of my images on a particular
    day. I can find those with no problem. My problem is that I may have 2 or more
    identical images display in grid and view as well as film strip. Looking up
    metadate status I find that these images are CHANGED. I understand that status,
    but there is no way that these multiple images would result from my work.
    I searched for multiple files located in multiple folders - NOT THE CASE. What

    etc?
    If I go to CATALOG, and work with the all the images there, found at the top of

    I can't find the reason for this in any help. I would appreciate very much some
    one telling me why this is takes place. It makes it difficult to keyword on
    images on a certain date, because of the multiple files.
    Filters are a powerful tool for organizing collections and keywords - my problem
    is not using filters, but understanding why multiple images.
    Further investigation this problem is found in any place - Catalog, or folder. 
    Believe me this is a PROBLEM.  I need to find a live person somewhere in the
    vast ocean of helps that can answer this question.  I don't have a problem
    understanding how to use it, I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY MULTIPLE IMAGES.

  • FCP 10.1.3 multiple graphic images into one frame

    Hi - How do I put multiple graphic images into one frame? - so it kind of looks like a video wall - except these are still images. I can do it manually but it's not precise. Anyone found a way other than this? Thanks.

    Here is my quick and dirty generator called "9 Pictures": https://www.dropbox.com/s/92c536wgesh2yzj/9%20Pictures.zip?dl=0
    To install it, unzip the file and place the folder inside /Users/yourname/Movies/Motion Templates/Generators
    It will look like this in FCP X. You just have to click each drop zone icon in the inspector and then select the desired clip from the browser. Use the Pan and Scale controls in the inspector to select which part of each image you want to use. Note: this was done in the hope that it may be helpful, but it is no more than a quick thing. You can also control-click the generator in the generator browser and choose open in motion (if you have it) to see how it was done and to modify it.

    Hey folks,
    I need to make a way for a user to save a sample of an image once a user uploaded image is uploaded onto it.

    ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property FileName.jpg not found on flash.utils.ByteArray and there is no default value.
    [/CODE]
    Here is my script-
    [CODE]
    sampleSaveBTN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, saveSampleImage);
    function saveSampleImage (evt: MouseEvent)
    var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(BGContain.width, BGContain.height);
    var logoBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(logoContain.width, logoContain.height);
    bitmapData.draw(BGContain);
    logoBitmapData.draw(logoContain);
    var jpg:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(100);
    var ba:ByteArray = jpg.encode(bitmapData);
    var la:ByteArray = jpg.encode(logoBitmapData);
    file = new FileReference();
    file.save[ba,la, 'FileName.jpg'];
    [/CODE]

    I was able to get it to roughly work with the following:

    Here is the code- I added the children from the previous containers. Their loader positions are gone, but I feel like I'm on the right track now!
    function saveSampleImage (evt: MouseEvent)
        var gatherSample: Sprite = new Sprite();
        gatherSample.addChild(bgImgLoader);
        gatherSample.addChild(loadLogo);
        matrix = color.CalculateFinalFlatArray();
        colorMatrix = new ColorMatrixFilter (matrix);
        filterBW = [colorMatrix];
        loadLogo.filters = filterBW;
        var sampleData: BitmapData = new BitmapData(gatherSample.width, gatherSample.height);
        sampleData.draw(gatherSample);
    var jpg:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(100);
    var ba:ByteArray = jpg.encode(sampleData);
    file = new FileReference();
    file.save(ba,'FileName.jpg' + ".jpg");
    Thanks again!
