Output each page with a custom file name

We have 150 photos to place in an Indesign file with Data Merge. Each page has: the photo, the name and surname.
Is it possible the export these pages as separate files but named with the file name of the photo?
gert

Sure it's possible. Try this -- don't forget to adjsut the export path and PDF preset name.
exportPath = "c:/temp";  // Adjust to fit!
exportPreset = "My Favourite Preset"; // Adjust to fit!
for (p=0; p < app.activeDocument.pages.length; p++)
  processPage(app.activeDocument.pages[p]);
function processPage (a_page)
  var i, link;
  for (i=0; i<a_page.allGraphics.length; i++)
    if (a_page.allGraphics[i].itemLink.isValid)
      linkname = File(a_page.allGraphics[i].itemLink.filePath);
      app.pdfExportPreferences.pageRange = a_page.name;
      app.activeDocument.exportFile (ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File(exportPath+'/'+linkname.name.replace(/(\.[^.]+)$/, '.pdf')), false, app.pdfExportPresets.item(exportPreset));
      return;

  • How to export a report data with a custom file name?

    Hello:
    Env: OBIEE 11g Answers/Interactive Dashboards
    I have a tabular report (built in Answers) and displayed in a Dashboard. I want to export the report data in csv format prefixed with the <OBIEE user login name>_<Name of the Report>_<current timestamp> on a certain folder.
    Any ideas appreciated..

    This does not help solve my problem.
    Tabular Report->Place it in a section in a dashboard->Report Links (Export Option turned on). When doing the export, I want to change the file name as the <Login Name>_<File Name>_<Time Stamp>.csv when doing the export into csv from the dashboard.

  • Custom File Name-Original File Number doesn't work. Why?

    I want to export and rename some files with the "Custom File Name-Original File Number" option. Yet this doesn't seem to work, and I wondered what I might be doing wrong. The filename will only rename as the custom text.
    The sample file name shown underneath has a dash after the custom text bit, but then the extension only eg Newname-.tif
    I am now using LR 4.2 but I seem to remember doing this renaming OK with an earlier version (though I can't remember which). This suggest that either there is a problem with this specific version or that I have something set differently to the way I had it initially. I am hoping the latter is the case. Any suggestions as to how to fix this would be welcome!

    I am sorry to report that i don't know how to create a screenshot. However, what I am getting, exact;ly is this:
    From Library grid view: F2 or Library>Rename Photo
    Then little screen appears with heading Rename Photo:
    File Naming> set to Custom Name - Original File Number
    Custom Text> NewFilenameHere
    Example: NewFilenameHere-.tif
    Clicking on OK changes the filename to just the custom text without the original file number. Original File name shows in metadata eg DSC01129-Edit.tif
    The only way i seem to be able to get the original file number with the custom text is to include it manually as part of the custom text.

  • [5D Mark III] Why begins my custom file name with an underscore

    Hi everybody,
    I am confused. I have set up a custom file name (Menu Screen: "Set Up 1" -> "User Setting 2") with 3 individual letters and the used image size. I set it up as "RAW" so the output should be like "RAWL0001.cr2" but the filenames are always using underscores instead of the first custom letter:  "_AWL0001.cr2".
    I have also tried the "User Setting 1" which has 4 individual letters and no indication for the image size within the file name.
    Same here.
    What baffles me most, is that the manual states that it is not allowed to use an underscore on the first position.
    Anybody an idea?
    Regards,
    Oliver

    Look up "Setting the Colorspace" in your manual.
    You've set the camera to shoot in ADOBE RGB which isn't advisable for the majority of users.

  • [JS] Export jpg from each page with specified number from database

    Hello,
    I imported a database into InDesign (CS 5 with OS X 10.7.2), so that every product and product number is on a different page in InDesign. Now I need to export each page to a jpg-file. The name of the jpg should be "productnumber.jpg".
    I found the script „PDFExportCropper.jsxbin“, which does what I want but creates pdf-files instead of jpgs.Thereafter, I can convert the pdfs to jpgs automatically with Photoshop.
    But: The script takes hours and hours to create the pdf-files: Right now, more than 8 hours for only 100 pdf-files. The database has 65.000 products!
    Any idea to improve the workflow? Any other script available which I did not find but does what I need?
    As a designer, I have no experiences at all in scripting.
    Thanks for answering!
    Best regards

    from Germany

    I think I fixed it.
    In line 20, I have now the following code:
    var page = myImage[i].parentPage.name;
    Is this the right way, to get the actual page?
    Also I would like to know, how can I export the images cropped to their "box"? How do I have to change my script?
    Thanks

  • When saving a File OS Is Creating Multiple Folders With The Same File Name

    Not sure what I changed but, now when I save a any file (ppt. word, Keynote,Pages e.g.,) to the desktop or any other location the OS will also create multiple file folders with the same file name as the file I'm saving. Inside the folders are what appears to be files locating the saved files. What can I do to fix this problem?
    I'm using the 10.7.2 version

    It looks like a finder bug. To replicate, I surf to any website, I right-click on a jpg image, select "Save Image As" and in the window that pops up I type in the filename "000.jpg", I select the folder Pictures, and click on Save.
    BTW, I don't know why, but the file was saved only as "000" without the file extension ".jpg". Does anybody know why?
    the extension is simply hidden. go to the get info panel for the file and uncheck the option to hide the extension.
    Then I surf to another image, and again I save it as "000.jpg" and now it asks me if I want to replace the existing filename, although the existing one is "000" and I try to save as "000.jpg", so I say yes, and then magically the file is saved with the full filename including the extension "000.jpg"
    When I did it a couple of times, always saving image as "000.jpg" from various sources, I ended up with two distinct files named "000" and both in the same folder Pictures.
    Please advise.
    it sounds to me like you saved one file as 000.jpg and the other and 000.jpg.jpg.
    check the info panels for the files for full names to verify if this is the case.

  • Action hard codes custom file name

    I recorded an action to crop and save for web. I have done this 1000's of times over the years, but in CS6 it is hardcoding a Custom File Name, and in the wrong format too boot.
    I am saving as JPG only and accepting the default name, which should leave me with an action that has no custom name, yet it does, and the custom name is of an HTML file name.
    So, when I run my action, it names every single file the same name, and never creates a jpg.
    This is a new bug in CS6. It wasn't here before.
    I can't figure out how to get around it????
    Kirk

    Figured out a way to work around this, but it is irritating. Instead of my action doing this:
    Flatten
    Crop (user interaction)
    Save For Web
    Close (without saving)
    I have to do this:
    Flatten
    Save as JPG (in same directory where I want the Web file to go)
    Crop (user interaction)
    Save For Web (Over top last saved file)
    Close (without saving)
    For some reason, when I use the save as JPG, it doesn't custom code the file name and when I save for web in the same place it also doesn't custom code the file name.
    I never had to do this before in all the years of using this type of action, and I use it ALOT!
    I have found that it sometimes does not hardcode the file name, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason.

  • Can I import 2 sets of photos with the same file name numbers?

    I've inadvertantly not had my camera set to "continuous" for file names and now have 2 memory cards with 2 different sets of images with the same file names.
    Can I still import both into Lightroom 2 without problems?
    What are the consequences?
    Thanks
    Stuart

    Yes. Of course, two files with the same name cannot be in the same folder. And don't forget to uncheck Don't import suspected duplicates during import.
    Another thing is that's not a good idea for good asset management, because someday you'll make some mistake because of this ambiguity. Good DAM practices suggest renaming your files after or during import, so that each files has a unique name across your entire image archive.

  • Trying to save a document with a new file name

    I have a IMacOSX Lion
    I am very new to apple products
    How do I save an existing document with a new file name thereby having two documents the old one and the new one with changes? Once a document has been saved once opening File no longer offers the save or Save as choice. Clicking on Save a version does not work either. Please help!

    What application are you using?
    Most Apple apps have adopted a new file saving scheme for what you describe. In Pages, for instance, you go to the File menu and select Duplicate. You end up with two documents, one labeled xxx copy (if the original was xxx). Now you can save xxx copy by using Save from the File menu, and change the name to whatever you want.
    Hope this helps you. Best of luck.

  • Custom File Name Format in B2B Console

    Hi,
    Please let me know if we can have a customized File Name Format in the B2B Console for the X12 EDI/XML Files.

    %FROM_PARTY%
    %TO_PARTY%
    %DOCTYPE_NAME%
    %DOCTYPE_REVISION%
    %MSG_ID%
    %TIMESTAMP%
    Is there a way to have a PO# (From the Trading Partner Payload) in the filename format?
    You help is appreciated.

    no. It has the format which helps B2B in identifying the agreement

  • How to read a ftp file with a specified file name in Proxy-XI-File scenario

    Dear all,
    I have the following requirement:
    The end user send a request via the proxy to XI, within the request parameters there is a file name, and the XI need to retrieve the file content from a ftp server with this specified file name, how can I achieve this?
    According to my understanding, the file receiver adapter can only write the files to the server.
    Thanks and regards,
    Bean

    Dear Bean,
    This can be achieved using a BPM...
    you will have to use Two parallel receive steps within a fork...
    1. 1st receive step :This will bring the data from the proxy
    2. 2nd receive step :according to pipeline step before this step would be executed interface determination would be called withini that you can put a mapping wherin the source and target message type would be as follows
    a. source message type ; the file structure that is going to be picked from ftp structure
    b.target message type : same structure as source except at top you will add "filename" field
    (you cna find on forum how we can get a fielname in the mapping ..in case you dont knw )
    3. now you can define correlation on the field "fielname" in both the receive steps provide the hirearchy and structure of data coming from both file and procy are same...
    4..  after corelation you can put any steps like transformation ( as you want)
    Hope this helps

  • Iphone contacts "not available" to car phonebook after messing around with Outlook.pst file names and backups. Iphone4 connects to car though and other phones connect properly.

    iphone contacts "not available" to car phonebook after messing around with Outlook.pst files, names and backups, on my ms XP 2003 laptop. I substituted a much smaller new Personal Folder -Contacts File, with a smaller list of phone numbers (4 only as a test) which successfully synced to the iPhone 4. The iPhone connects to the Skoda Octavia HandsFreeSystem OK (Bluetooth works fine), but now iPhone wont load the new Contacts as it did originally. However a family Nokia (never messed with) can connect properly. So must be the iPhone or more likely an Outlook.pst \ Contacts problem. Ideas?

    After fiddling a little more, the following fixed my corrupted outlook.pst file:
    1) I made a backup
    2) In outlook under file, I exported the calendar to excel
    3) In outlook under file, I imported the calendar back to outlook
    And voila, it worked.

    Hi,
    One more question: How to setup a file adapter to trigger between 2:00am to 5:00 am? in a particular time
    For this you can Availability time planning (i.e you can schedule the file adapter to poll for the files with in the time interval i.e 2 -5)...
    for generating the file name at target side you need to look for the Dynamic Configuration as you need to change the timestamp for the file..and i am not sure how this works in BPM..
    in normal scenarios dynamic configuration will help....

  • PDF form with one submit button that prints form and sanves PDF with data with a unique file name

    We have a long medical form that patients can fill out at kiosks as they wait to see a doctor. We want one button so that the patient can print out the form with one click (and finish filling it out by hand if it's not finished already) and the same button click will save the form with a unique file name (using last name, first name, date, and/or email address so that the identity of the person who filled out the form will be readily apparent to anyone who wants to grab the user's responses later). Is Acrobat capable of doing something like this? LiveCycle Designer maybe? And if we continue with the PDF form and add a submit button, is there a way to program the button click to print and to save?
    Thank you in advance of any suggestions that might accomplish this task.

    I am not sure about the print, but it can probably be done -- possibly with a bit of JavaScript. As to the saving of the form, that is not reasonable at a kiosk. You would want the data submitted to a server (particularly with patient data), no e-mail or accessible drive. You can collect the data and put it in a database or import it to the form for printing yourself.
