Problem with iPhoto save pdf to folder as jpeg

Hello,
I made a card in iphoto '11 and when i want to transfer it to folder as jpeg it shows that cannot find Store Disk Item References. I think i need a workflow like "save pdf to jpeg" but i don't know where can i find this.
I use mountain lion.
Thanks
John

Here's one way to convert get each page of the card to a 200 dpi or 300 dpi jpeg file. 
First go to the card mode, right click on a page and select Save as PDF from the contextual menu.  Once you have a pdf file of
1 - open the pdf file in Preview.
2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
3  - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
Note:  If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a card, book, etc. that will be ordered).
5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto.
Now you can export the jpeg files out of iPhoto via File ➙ Export ➙ File Export  with Kind = Original to get the high resolution files that you want.

  • Save PDF to folder as JPEG Error

    This is happening in Aperture, and other programs too.
    When I try to use "Save PDF to folder as JPEG", the export begins, but when it comes to the pop up box that copies the files onto the desktop an error message indicates there has been a problem with ""the action "retrieve disk element references" encountered an error."
    The script "Save PDF to folder as TIFF" works great... but that isn't suitable for albums.
    Any thoughts??? I found others that had the problem, but no solutions...

    I am also having this issue but with TIFF's.

  • Save PDF to folder as JPEG - NOT WORKING!

    Please help me, after many failed attempts to save my aperture book design as PDF to folder as JPEG, I decided to try to save PDF to folder as TIFF. Unbelievably it worked without error. This proved to me that I am doing everything right, there must be a problem with the save as JPEG option. I am trying to save this way so that I can take my design to a different album vendor other than apple. The closest I came to having the JPEG option work was it saved only a small handful of the page files, not all of them. ANY advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

    I just tried the Save PDF to folder as JPEG and everything worked correctly. This workflow is actually an Apple Automator action, so you could go to Root/Library/PDF Services and open the workflow in Automator and look to see if somehow the action is messed up.
    Maybe worth the try.

  • Save pdf to folder in JPEG / save aperture book to JPEG

    Hello guys,
    basically I want to save my created photo book in Aperture in the best possible quality.
    I have read the FAQ on apertureexpert.com about "save pdf to folder in JPEG" and have also downloaded the script that was posted their but it did not work as expected.
    http://www.apertureexpert.com/forum-user/post/1306850
    The problem is that I can't really change any settings about the script (like change dpi to 300 like in the video below). Opening it in Automator does not bring the hoped features.
    Basically I want to do exactly what is done in this video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ7ywI5N9o8
    I might want to export the photos in TIFF too one day!
    I am desperately trying to export my photo book in the best possible quality! I have spend the whole day trying to solve this problem without finding anything on google!
    Would there be any possibilities to just download the complete "Save pdf to folder in TIFF" and "Save pdf to folder in JPEG" script somewhere? That would would be the optimal solution, a download link or simply an upload from someone how as the scripts that originally ware pre-installed on a mac. You can check if you have these under "Macintosh HD/Library/Pdf Services".
    Thanks a lot for your help! I would really appreciate it!
    Best,
    Gordon

    It actually goes thru the motions and appears to be working, but ultimately the pages are not actually created or saved anywhere. I have tried over and over, numerous things, but in the end there are no actual pages created... its weird. I specify exactly where to save the pages, and when its done, there is nothing there....
    Also, when I run the Play button on the "Save PDF to folder as JPEG" in automator, it encounters an error at the "Move Finder Items", the step where it would actually place or save the JPEGs to that location.... I can not seem to figure out what went wrong, as it did work before and I don't know what I could have done to cause an error...

  • Aperture 3 save PDF to folder as JPEG option missing from PDF services?

    I have Aperture 3 downloaded from the App store in a MAC OSX 10.6.7 but the save PDF to folder as jPEG option is missing from the print menu? I do not have discs to re-install Aperture so can I add a workflow directly to the PDF services library and if so where can I get a copy of this workflow?

    Hi frank, thanks for the advice, I am very new to Apple and Aperture. I think I am looking at the second print menu, I am basically trying to add text to a phot and have followed this online guide
    http://photo.rwboyer.com/2010/02/07/aperture-book-tool-screen-cast-take-two/
    I can do everything except the last part which is save PDF to folder as JPEG. My version of aperture does not give me this option and I only have access to the following:
    Open PDF in preview
    Save as PDF
    Save as Post Script
    Mail PDF
    Save as PDF-X
    Save PDF to iPhoto
    Save PDF to web receipts folder
    Pictures
    Edit Menu
    There is no option to Save PDF to folder as JPEG and I cannot add this function from the Edit menu? Previous discussions suggest re-installing Aperture 3 but I downloaded this from the App store so do not have discs to reinstall?
    Thanks

  • Save PDF to Folder as Jpeg/300 dpi

    Question about exporting custom book design into Jpegs/300 dpi. I do it, it seems to be working and then once it stops I can't find the file with the jpegs of the book design. Not sure if it's saving and if it is where it's saving to? I went into automator (which I know nothing about) and when I run the 'save PDF to folder as jpeg" action, I get an error message. Help! Thanks in advance!

    Installing Aperture again will not affect your library, so there is no risk doing that.

  • "Save PDF to folder as JPEG.workflow"

    ...is now missing from my library/PDF services folder.
    I use Aperture to design my books, which I have printed by Asuka and other vendors. I set up workflows to export the books at the appropriate DPI (271 for Asuka, 300 for the flush mount albums I do).
    When the the JPEG's weren't showing up in the folder I tried to save to I checked my Library/PDF services folder to find the "Save PDF to folder as JPEG.workflow" missing.
    Should I re-install Aperture from the disk? If I do so how will it affect my library?

  • Save pdf to folder as JPG fails

    I have completed the update process so I am running Yosemite and Aperture 3.6
    When I try to use the automator work flow that was installed with Aperture (Save pdf to folde as JPG) , I get an error message that "Retrieve Disk Item References encountered an error"
    The workflow will work from another user account and the similar workflow for saving PDF to folder as TIFF works just fine.  I have tried reinstalling the workflow from a backup but it still fails.  Any idea how to get this working back to normal?

    I got it fixed with 2 rounds of cache cleaning and pref file removal.  My computer thinks it is 4 in the afternoon and all the menus are in Swedish, but its all good!

  • Save PDF to folder as JPG not working....

    I can't figure out why all of a sudden Aperture book pages exported as JPG's aren't showing up anywhere. I did change the dpi setting to 300 and have successfully exported other books recently, but today I finished a book layout and wanted to export the pages as JPGs and they won't show up anywhere.
    Also, when I press "Run" in the Save PDF to folder as JPEG I do get an error at the "Move Finder Items" step, where it allows you to denote where the pages should be saved.
    I have tried deleting that step and reinserting the same one, but I get the same error over and over and can't figure out how to fix it.
    When I run the Print Book and Save PDF to folder as JPEG in Aperture, it will run thru the whole process but ultimately not save the pages anywhere, they just don't show up...

    Are you able to print the webpage to 'Adobe PDF' to convert it to pdf.

  • Problem with viewing Adobe PDF documents

    Problem with viewing Adobe PDF documents
    I have a Windows 7 Home Premium Computer
    I have read all the suggestions and I have tried downloading multiple versions of Adobe Reader for Windows 7 and Vista from http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/.
    Prior to downloading each version I would delete the current version using  control panel programs uninstall.
    After each new installation I would shut down the computer and then restart the computer.
    I have tried downloading versions with and without having my antivirus (CA Total Defence) running.
    I am told after download that the version downloaded successfully.
    I have read Acrobat Help http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-reader-installation-windows.html and followed the instructions.
    None of the above has helped.
    The problem is no matter what version of Adobe Reader I download, I cannot seem to open a PDF and read it. Nor will the Reader itself stay open.
    1. If I try opening the reader from the desktop link or from the actual program menu, the reader opens for about 5 seconds and then closes of its own accord. If I try to click on any of the reader menus (eg File, Edit, View, Window, Help, Tools) then a warning bell is sounded and the menu does not open. Shortly thereafter the reader closes.
    2. If I try to open the reader by double clicking on a PDF document then the reader opens but the document is not shown (only the grey PDF reader screen is shown) and then the reader closes after about 5 seconds of its own accord.
    The desktop shortcut shows as the 'red Adobe Reader icon'. But the actual program menu icon shows as a blank folder icon.  All PDF documents show as the PDF Adobe icon.
    I have tested various PDFs and none will open on this computer but they will open on other computers.
    I have created a word document and saved it as a PDF. It looked like it had save correctly (has the appropriate icon) but when I try to open it as per step 2 above then the document is not shown and then the reader closes after about 5 seconds of its own accord.
    Does anyone have any ideas about what is going on and how I can fix this?
    Could you please answer in this forum and email me at [removed]
    I am so puzzled and frustrated.

    Thank you so much this did the trick.
    I spent so many hours on trying to sort this out and your answer was so  simple and clear.

  • Problems with iPhoto 7.1

    Hope someone may help me with this. I just downloaded the iLife update and the new iPhoto 7.1 (and of course Gargeband etc.) and by opening iPhoto it does load the library, but then some menu functions do not work. Preferences does not open, the slideshow button does not work. It only shows the busy icon and I'll have to do a force stop. The message reads: 'iPhoto not reponding'. Before the update I never had problems with iPhoto.
    Thanks! Edward from the Netherlands

    Edward:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The slideshow button will work but it's very, very, very slow. Try again and let it sit for a while. It sometimes takes up to 30 seconds to open fully. It's the same with the Preferences. The latest update has made it slow to open the first time. After that it seemed to work OK for me. Be sure to post your problems at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. The more reports the better.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
    Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially. 
    I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
    You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

  • Sync problems with iPhoto (Last iTunes & iPhoto & iOS)

         Some people have problems to with the music sync but anyone has the same problem but with the photos? iTunes doesn´t count the number of photos that suposse to be listed when you select your album on itunes/device/photos... I have once the problem with the music but it cames right after delete and resync my playlists.
         Thnks!
         Tested on iPhone 5 and iPad2 Mavericks iTunes 11.1.2 and iOS 7.0.3 Same problem with iPhoto 9.4.3 and 9.5."

    I have the same issue - iTunes 11.1.2, iOS 7.0.3, Mac OS X Mavericks, iMac 2011, iPhone 5S - Aperture 3.5 and iPhoto 9.5 - iTunes does not sync pictures (not even counts them) between my iPhone 5S and either one of the programs. When I select iPhoto, it even shows information of a library I am not opening with iPhoto anymore.
    I have resorted for the time being, waiting for a bug fix, to copy what I am interested in, into a folder and sync from it - that at least works.
    Moreover, contrary to what said here in other threads, I can Wi-fi sync my iPhone 5S and iPad 2 to iTunes 11.1.2.
    And, about all the complaints of iTunes not showing the "Info" tab anymore, Mac OS X now supports natively more types of accounts (Gmail, Yahoo, Twitter, Facebook, AOL, etc.). Everything can still be also set up manually in any case - so I don't understand what everybody is bragging about - you can avoid using iCloud, if so one wishes.

  • Problem with iPhoto 7 import

    Hi,
    I find a big problem with iPhoto 7 and import !
    I made 53 scan of photos in 1200dpi, modified, cleaned and saved them in jpeg files (1mo to 2mo by photo)
    all are in the same folder and some are in grayscale other in colors.
    When I want to import (with copying or not) them in iPhoto 7 (already updated) 15 of 53 have not small photo in event they are black, and when I zoom on them they are bug.
    It is only in iPhoto.
    If I share this event in iMovie small photo is black but if I move this photo in my iMovie project Photo is good...
    Then it is really a big problem because I can't use iPhoto for my albums, cards, ...
    Have you a solution?
    Regards,

    all my photos are in jpeg in high resolution
    It is very important because if we want to produce an album we must send a high resolution, but they are only 1mo to 2mo by photo not 35mo...
    iPhoto not import grayscale? ...
    I you produce in RGB photos are biggers...
    It is really a bad news
