Why do multiple RAW files not open directly in editor after conversion?

when I process several images on ACR [in Elements 7, with ACR 5.4] instead of opening in editor, the screen reverts to Organizer with the processing file message across the thumbnails; if I open editor, the files are there. At one time it seemed as if more than one image would open; if I process only one image in ACR and click on open image, then it goes directly to Editor. Do I need to reset some thing - or?

How are you batch processing the camera files?
You can use File>Scripts>Image>Processor or File>Automate>Batch
Wiith batch if you check Suppress File Open Option dialogs, then the camera raw dialog won't open.

Yahoo! Geocities preventing pdf files from opening in browser

This is for information
I have a web site hosted by Yahoo!Geocities. For some time I have noticed that pdf files mounted on the site will not open in an IE or Firefox browser window. Instead they bring up a pop up window asking what to do with the files. I found that the reason for this was that Geocities was serving the files with incorrect MIME type headers.
A Geocities spokesman has stated that this is a deliberate policy because of pdf security vulnerabilities and that I could pay them lots more to have a web hosting plan that didn't cripple pdf files.
I think that this is something that Adobe should take up with Geocities.

Isn't there a way of zipping the file with the OS or do I need a standalone program to do it?
Command-click on the file you want to Zip and select "Create Archive of <filename>.

SWF movies are not animated when the file's opened directly.

Firstly, although I've been using Flash on and off for years (since CS3) I don't use it very often so I apologise if my issue seems simplistic!
Basically, I used Flash CS3 for a few years to create basic animations for clients, involving simple scrolling text, without any problems. Recently I upgraded to the CS4 Master Suite and then CS5 Master Suite within a couple of days of each other and I now need to use Flash to make a change to an old animation. When I opened the CS3 file it appears as expected and I made the changes to the text (changing a word or two within a line of type).
When I right clicked on the type relevant frames within the timeline I noticed that there is now more than one version of tween available, and that classic tween was already selected (I think I better buy a new teach yourself Flash CS5 book!)
Anyway, that was allI needed to do so I initially pressed return and the text scrolled across the stage as expected. But when I clicked on CONTROL / TEST MOVIE / TEST (or cmd+Return on my Mac) the SWF file that appears is static and the text does not scroll at all. If I publish the movie using Actionscript 3 or 2 the resulting SWF file is also totally static. But if I drop the SWF file into the relevant website folder and view it through Dreamweaver's browser view facility it works perfectly and scrolls just as expected. Equally, opening it using the Opera browser works too.
I've tried altering the CS3 file and testing the movie in Flash CS4 and Flash CS5 but the same thing happens. It's a bit time wasting and inefficient wanting to test an animation as a SWF file by double clicking on it and only being shown a static image. Is this a well known problem as I couldn't find any mention of it during my search?
Thanks for reading and I'd really appreciate help resolving this issue.

Update:
I downloaded the newest Flash Player and double clicked the problematic swf file again. I was a bit surprised to see Flash CS5 start up and display the floating test window with the problematic static animation as before. I closed Flash CS5, right clicked on the swf file and chose "Open With Flash Player". The animation opened in the new Flash Player and was working fine.
So it appears that only Flash CS5 and CS4 are having the issue playing the test movie that was created in the very same program?

The firefox does not ask what to do with the torrent files, it opens directly into bittorrent. How do I switch it back to when it asks what to do with the file?

You can check the setting for that MIME type in "Tools > Options > Applications" and change the setting to "Always ask".
You may have to reset all download actions by removing the mimeTypes.rdf file manually.

Why JPEG - TIFF files in Bridge won´t open directly in Photoshop CC 2014?

Since a couple of weeks ago, whenever I click a jpeg or tiff file in Bridge (last reinstalled in 17/08/14) it won’t open directly in Photoshop CC 2014, but in Windows photo viewer. Am I doing something wrong or is it Bridge’s fault?

Thank you for your help. I tried this, but, at least in Windows OS if I do it, every time I'm within any window, a JPEG or TIFF file will open directly in Photoshop, not Windows Viewer. I contacted Adobe support and they sugested me to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop and Bridge. It took me some time, but the problem was solved. I suspect that my issue began the moment I uninstalled Photoshop CC, which was active at the same time with Photoshop CC 2014. So, if you have both, try to live with them or uninstall both apps and reinstall only CC 2014.

RAW files open directly into Photoshop

Odd issue here: when launching RAW files they open directly into Photoshop. Either Camera Raw gets bypassed or it just processes them on the fly.
This happens after a bit of usage, re-launching Photoshop solves the problem for the next few files.
This happens if I launch the RAW files from the Finder, Bridge or Photomechanic. Only the right-click on my mouse in Bridge will show the option of opening images in Camera Raw.
This is driving us nuts here. Happens on 4 work stations.
RAW files are mostly CR2's. Mac OS 10.4.10

Are you using PhotoKit or PhotoKit Sharpener? If so, this is a known issue with the previous builds...go to the CS3 Beta page and redownload the current builds.

If you AREN'T usinf PhotoKit or Sharpener, try resetting your Bridge preferences and purging the cache.

Upload file in Web Dynpro and add to Workflow container as SOFM object

Hi!
I have a Web Dynpro for ABAP application that should send attachments of uploaded files to a workflow container. I have already managed to do this, and it works fine for TXT files, but when I try to attach a WORD (.DOC) file the file looks corrput when I open it from the SAP inbox.
When uploading files in Web Dynpro it is as an XSTRING. I have tried out the following alternatives regarding convertion of the XSTRING before it is inserted in the SOFM object:
1) Convert from XSTRING to STRING using codepage 4110.
Then it is split into a string table of 255 chars
2) Convert from XSTRING to STRING using codepage 4102
Then it is split into a string table of 255 chars
3) Convert from XSTRING to BINARY format
I use function module 'SWL_SOFM_CREATE_WITH_TABLE'
and then swf_create_object lr_sofm 'SOFM' ls_sofm_key.
before I call some macros to fill the container.
Anyone else who have tried to do this with success? I'm greatful for any help.
Regards, Tine

Hi,
I had the same problem in the last days and finally I got a quite simple solution:
I had a look at the FM SWL_SOFM_CREATE_WITH_TABLE an noticed that it calls another FM (SO_DOCUMENT_INSERT_API1) which has a tables parameter for HEX data and is actually able to create a SOFM object from HEX data.
I simply copied SWL_SOFM_CREATE_WITH_TABLE as a customer FM and applied a few changes to make it accept HEX data:
First I added a new table parameter in the interface which gets the HEX data from the calling application (uploaded data using BIN format):
OBJECT_CONTENT_HEX     LIKE     SOLIX
Here is the code of the FM (I marked all additional and changed lines with a comment):
function z_test_sofm_create_with_table .

The returned SOFM key I added to a container element. The element refers to event parameter of type OBJ_RECORD in my ABAP OO Class
Using this function I was able to raise an event by using Method cl_swf_evt_event=>raise
that invoked a workitem containing an Excel-File i had uploaded as binary file and passed to the FM z_test_sofm_create_with_table as document type 'XLS'.
In the woritem preview when clicking on the attachment the file was opened directly in Excel.
Actually the new lines for calculation the file size is not yet quite correct. At first glance it does not seem to cause any trouble, but I will stll check that. In FM SO_OBJECT_INSERT the size is again checked and calculated if initial, so leaving size initial might also be an option.
I hope this helps anyone having a similar issue.

Michael Gulitz

Some Tiff files will open in ACR, some not

Hello everyone,
I have tried and read on several posts before posting here to get the solution but nothing foudn till now.
I have LR 5.2 and PS CS6.
RAW files are being managed, worked and converted into Tiff (uncompressed, ProPhoto RGB profile, 350dpi) from Lightroom and then imported in CS6 for further adjusted and layer works, etc..
Some files will be opened via ACR before being opened by CS6 and then some days before, they will just open directly into CS6.
I have checked some settings in LR like " Include Develop Settings in metadata inside JPEG...." which is UNCHECKED/DISABLED and "Automatically write changes in XMP" is CHECKED/ENABLED.
What could be doing this or what could i have messed somewhere?
your help and support well appreciated.

Hello everyone,
Apologize for taking so long to revert back but i was out of the country and busy with the end of year work load.
I will describe my workflow for you to get a better idea of the issue am having.
- I take files (Canon CR2. RAW files) from the memory card (Canon 500D, Canon 70D) then copy to my computer / HDD
- Import these same files withing lightroom for selection/rating/etc.. at this stage the .xmp files have already been written beside the .CR2 files as i have a preset for lens correction on import.
- I will then work on the RAW files inside LR 5 for minor adjustments, and then export them in TIFF format.
- I then open PS CS6 then open the TIFF file.
- Some files will open directly in PS while others may open via the ACR window before then i will click on open image to get it in PS.
- I do my adjustments and advanced editing in PS then save the files in same format.
- LR will see the adjustments done outside of LR and i will import the one from disk (to get the changes i made from PS)
This is my usual workflow and i would like to know if LR and PS use the same .xmp files to store the changes done?
Why some files which get the same treatment inside LR opens without getting through ACR window and some will?
Do you need more info? Please let me know and thank you in advance for the support.

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only. However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is alr

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
What we found from out testing:
- The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
- The file can be closed and Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
- Also, until the Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file.
Example Scenario:
- User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
- Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
- User 1 saves his file and closes it - but Dreamweaver is still open.
- User 2 also saves his file and leaves Dreamweaver open.
- The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
- If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
- Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
Other information:
- Files are opened directly from the server
- Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
- Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
- The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
- The users are usually working on the files all day
- It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
Anyone know if this is a known issue?
Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
Thanks

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

Can you prevent a pdf from opening if a user has javascript disabled?

I have code that is important to always be running in a pdf file for corporate security reasons. I understand some users may choose not to allow scripting which is fine but in those cases I do not want the user to be allowed to open the file. Is there a way to prevent the file from opening if javascript is disabled?
Thanks in advance.

No. However, you can have a layer covering the content of the file which can be made hidden using JS code when the file is opened.
But the user will still be able to hide the layer manually.

How come I can no longer open a file direct from Lightroom 4 to PS 5.1??

I use to be able to open a RAW file directly from Lightroom to PS, make my edits and then have the edited file resaved to Lightroom but no longer. Why?

Hi Ryan,
Would suggest you to try the suggestions mentioned here. Lightroom: Edit In External Editor does not work/function
Also, make sure your Lightroom and Photoshop both are up-to-date.
Cheers!

I want to upload pictures to Shutterfly. Can I do this directly from Lightroom 5?

I want to upload pictures to a website that enables those who view the pictures to download them to their own computers. I have been using Shutterfly, but am open to using another if it's easier. It doesn't appear I can do this directly from Lightroom 5 but would have to upload from the files on my hard drive.
I also want to know if any Metadata I add to photos in Lightroom, such as descriptive text, would upload with the file so that it can been seen on Shutterfly. I want to add descriptions in Lightroom but don't want to have to enter them all again on a sharing website.

Apparently this plug-in will give you the ability to do this: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1797027
It will work with Lightroom 5.x apparently.

Hi Ashley Clavette,
The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what exactly happens ? Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

Is there a way to upload files directly to the cloud from bridge cc?

Is there a way to upload files directly to the cloud from bridge cc? I use bridge to organize my files. It would be a lot easier if I didn't have to drag and drop files into the cc folder, I was hoping that there might be an easier way.
thanks,

When you save them just make sure you save them to your Mac and not iCloud. For those that already exist, you can move them from iCloud by dragging and dropping them to somewhere else on your Mac. To see all the files in iCloud choose file > open in either pages or numbers.
