Relink & Fit to content multiple images

Using InDesign CS6 w/ Mac
I've got a document with multiple different images (2000+), I want to replace all of them with 1 single image and Fit Frame to Content them all. Is this possible? I've searched extensively but can't find the answer anywhere!
More Details:
The document consists of a large number of tables with "check mark" and "x" images. I want to replace all the check marks with a better looking and larger check icon. Same with the X marks.
I can do this one by one:
Select in Links Window
Relink > choose the new image
Fit Frame to Content
But with thousands of different images it would take weeks :\ Selecting multiple images in the links window doesn't work since it still asks me to select the same image each time. Help please!

You should probably ask this in Scripting....

How do I stop iWeb outputting multiple image files? It makes my site slow!

I'm a professional web designer (but don't let that put you off) who uses Dreamweaver and also handcodes HTML & CSS websites at work on a PC, but having got a new Mac for home use I thought I'd give iWeb a go for a personal site hosted on .Mac, showcasing my music and film efforts, that I didn't want to have to think about coding.
I've built a short little site using the attractive 'Travel' theme, just 5 or 6 pages so far, and have not yet added any multimedia content. However, it seemed to take ages to upload it when I published it to .Mac. So then I went to view it, and it was soooo sloooow to download each page, even on my 4mb cable connection. I know it's a fairly graphically-rich theme, but still!
I noticed that it was redrawing the navigation menu each time... and upon close inspection of the HTML code using Safari's 'View Source' to my horror I found out that that each page has a seperate '_files' folder that contains multiple versions of files that are also used in other pages - including navigation buttons and background images. I also saw that every element has styling applied to it 'inline' in the code, rather than in a single seperate style-sheet.
To confirm this I published it to a folder on my hard drive and checked it all out. What a mess!
As a WYSIWYG web page editor iWeb is great but it's an undisputable fact that the HTML markup and CSS code it produces is absolutely appaling. What's worse though is that it also renders whole swaithes of text as images and that it does create seperate folders for each pages content including images, CSS code and navigation buttons - so even though the same images and code are used throughout the site for the background and buttons and layout, they are written out as seperate files and have to be reloaded with every page!!!
This means that the .Mac server must be getting hammered and webpages are very slow to download and slow to render in Safari - it's almost like dialup when I'm viewing my iWebsite, and like I said, I've got a 4mb cable connection!
Looking at the code iWeb produces, it is good to see that tables are not used for layout, and that's one thing in its favour. But surely the whole point of providing 'themed' templates for users is that the same content is used across the site and therefore doesn't need to be created multiple times - one of the benefits of using CSS stylesheets. Why doesn't iWeb create a single stylesheet and make efficient use of repeated images instead of creating multiple instances of the same file for each page?
Perhaps there is a setting somewhere I've missed. If so, let me know someone!
It is a great WYSIWYG editor, but behind the scenes it's not efficient, it's not clean and simple and it's certainly not attractive - and I'm surprised at that coming from Apple! I know iWeb is a great tool for beginners and I'm a picky professional, but if I was Joe Public First Time Web Designer I'd be very annoyed by this.
Clean it up and sort it out Mr Jobs!
PS: Also, where does iWeb store the website whilst it's in production? I can't find it anywhere?

Your iWeb Site is stored not on your iDisk, but on a file named Domain.sites in your ~/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ Folder.
If , for whatever reason, you wipe your HD and/or lose this file (Get a new computer, Re-Install your OS, Stolen Laptop, Crashed HD, Etc.) without backing-up your Domain.sites file then you will have to re-build your iWeb sites from scratch again.
Of course you can edit your Published HTML files in a different program such as Dreamweaver or even Text Edit. You just can't edit Published HTML files in iWeb. Not at this time at least.
Use iWebBackup to backup your Domain file to a Blank CD or DVD. Backing up your Domain file to another folder on your computer is not fully backing it up. If your computer gets stolen you still lost the file but if you have your Domain file burned onto a CD you have a backup!
Download iWebBackup Here
You can use iWebExtender to automatically consolidate your files into one folder and delete multiple images.

Bridge CS4 won't output to pdf multiple images with same filename

Hiya...my googling efforts have thus far failed!
I've got CS4, and in Bridge, I created a New Smart Collection to find all filenames in a folder containing "." or ".jpg" - which in turn searched through all the subfolders like what you used to be able to do in Photoshop CS3. Very simple stuff, but all the images are jpg's, but in multiple folders (I don't want to move them out of the folders, as the files came from an external source, and there are heaps of folders, and I don't want to pdf each subfolder seperately as it will take forever).
The problem is that some of the files have the same filenames (again I'd prefer not to rename, as it happens a lot on this project, and they are all over the place). So whilst Bridge will show the thumbnail images correctly in the content tabbed screen in my New Smart Collection, but once I've done the Output to PDF thing, for example, instead of showing both different images it has pdf only the first image but repeated it twice. And this happens multiple times throughout the pdf, the more times the same filename is used, the more times the first image gets repeated.
I know that it is messy to have multiple similar filenames, but why can't bridge just place the image anyway? It allocated a space for it on the pdf and does show it in bridge, it just doesn't seem to survive the transfer to pdf well.
The only other thing that I have done is use the below link (which was posted on another adobe forum thread) to create a custom pdf output template (nothing too fancy, just number of rows / columns, size, font etc). But I've tried using the standard bridge templates and it does the same thing.
http://www.proficiografik.com/2009/08/03/save-custom-pdf-output-template-in-adobe-bridge-c s4.html
Any help would be appreciated...even if to tell me that I am being unreasonable!
UPDATE 16/11/09
Just to let you know that I seem to have resolved the bug inadvertently with one of the Adobe updates. The below is the link for the AdobeOutputModule-2.1-mul-AdobeUpdate.zip which was released on 2/19/2009 - which allows for headers & footers to be placed in the Ouput pdf. I finally installed it today, and everything seems to be working fine now (i.e. I can pdf multiple images with the same filenames and the pdf will actually show each different image rather than repeating only 1 of the images).
Must have been a fix installed in the contact sheet templates that get installed with the update - not sure why the original version was corrupted, but I've left that with the Adobe guys (I submitted a bug report - and they were able to replicate the problem but hadn't fixed it as yet).

When I click import from disc I am asked to choose a disc and then I get this message:
The following photos will not be imported because they are already present in the catalog. To see these photos in the catalog select 'Show in Library' (the import will be canceled).
This is followed by a long list of images. If I click 'Show in Library' I can see all the images with the same filename. And then they start to automatically write over those images with images from the disc. However they keep the same metadata and keywords from the previous images. If I click on Import and deselect the "don't reimport suspected duplicates" box, it imports only the images that don't share filenames and none of the images that do.
Is there a way of setting the "Don't reimport suspected duplicates" box in preferences?

Problem in Loading Multiple image in Single Sprite/MovieClip

Hi All,
I am having a killing problem in loading multiple images in single movie clip/sprite using a separate class.
Here is the ImageLoader.as class
package com.project.utils{
 import com.project.*;
 import com.project.utils.*;
 import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
 import flash.display.MovieClip;
 import flash.events.Event;
 import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
 import flash.display.Loader;
 import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
 import flash.net.URLLoader;
 import flash.events.MouseEvent;
 import flash.net.URLRequest;
 import flash.display.Bitmap;
 public class ImageLoader extends EventDispatcher {
 public var imgloader:Loader;
 public var imgMc:MovieClip;
 public var imgObject:Object;
 public var loaded:Number;
 public function ImageLoader():void {
 imgMc = new MovieClip();
 imgObject = new Object();
 imgloader = new Loader();
 public function loadImage(imgHolder:MovieClip, imgObj:Object):void {
 imgMc = new MovieClip();
 imgObject = new Object();
 imgloader = new Loader();
 imgMc = imgHolder;
 imgObject = imgObj;
 imgloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onImgLoad);
 imgloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,onImgLoadProgress);
 imgloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,onImageLoadFailed);
 imgloader.load(new URLRequest(imgObj.FilePath));
 private function onImgLoad(Evt:Event):void {
 var image:Bitmap = Bitmap(Evt.target.content);
 try {
 imgMc.removeChildAt(0);
 } catch (error:Error) {
 imgMc.addChild(image);
 try {
 if (imgObject.URL != undefined) {
 imgMc.buttonMode = true;
 imgMc.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onImageClicked);
 imgMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onImageClicked);
 } catch (err:Error) {
 dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent("CustomEvent.ON_IMGE_LOAD"));
 private function onImageClicked(evt:MouseEvent):void {
 trace("Image Attrs:"+imgObject.URL +" Target "+imgObject.Target);
 private function onImgLoadProgress(Evt:ProgressEvent):void {
 if (Evt.bytesLoaded>0) {
 loaded = Math.floor((Evt.bytesLoaded*100)/Evt.bytesTotal);
 dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent("CustomEvent.ON_IMGE_LOAD_PROC",loaded));
 private function onImageLoadFailed(Evt:IOErrorEvent):void {
 trace("Image Loading Failed");
 dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent("CustomEvent.ON_IMGE_LOAD_FAIL"));
Here I am loading some images using the above class in a for loop, like
 for (var i=0; i < 3; i++) {
 //imgLoader=new ImageLoader;
 imgLoader.addEventListener("CustomEvent.ON_IMGE_LOAD",onImageLoad);
 var target:MovieClip=videolist_mc["list" + mcCount + "_mc"];
 target.list_mc.visible=false;
 var imgObj:Object=new Object;
 imgObj.FilePath=list[i].Thumbnail;
 imgObj.Url=list[i].Url;
 imgObj.Target=list[i].Target;
 target.list_mc.urlObj=new Object ;
 target.list_mc.urlObj=imgObj;
 imgLoader.loadImage(target.list_mc.imgholder_mc,imgObj);
 target.list_mc.lable_txt.htmlText="" + list[i].Label + "";
 target.list_mc.imgholder_mc.buttonMode=true;
 target.list_mc.imgholder_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onItemPressed);
 mcCount++;
In this case, the ImageLoader.as works only on the last movie clip from the for loop. For example, if i am trying to load three image in three movie clips namely img_mc1,img_mc2 and img_mc3 using the for loop and ImageLoader.as, I am getting the image loaded in the third movie clip only img_mc.
See at the same time, If i uncomment onething in the for loop that is
//imgLoader=new ImageLoader;
its working like a charm. But I know creating class objects in a for loop is not a good idea and also its causes some other problems in my application.
So, help to get rid out of this problem.
Thanks

Multiple images of the same file on one page

How do I create multiple images of the same file on one page? For example, I've got an image that I could fit 6 of on one page, and would like to print it that way instead of printing it on 6 individual pieces of paper.

Are you attempting to do this in Adobe Workspaces? Or are you looking for software that will do it?
If the former, you could insert the image into a Buzzword document six times. Not exactly elegant, but it might do the trick.

how to have multiple images on the same screen? like in the movies where you see several actions at the same time ....
i don't find a tutorial in adobe tv....
thanks !!

The short answer is that you'll put the source clip(s) for each inset on a different video track, all stacked up. Then use the Scale and Position effects (under "Motion" on the Effect Controls panel) to reduce their size and place them where you want.
If the content of an inset will involve edited content (where you're cutting among various clips or just trimming out unwanted content from a single clip), then you'll probably find it easier to do all those edits in one sequence, then nest that sequence in the master sequence, where you apply the Scale and Positioning effects. That will save the step of applying the scale and position effects to each edited track item.

Can you move a 'Multiple Image Upload' button into the 'Update Form'?

I am able to creat and an Update form and an image upload using the "Update Form Wizard" tool and the "Multiple Image Upload" tool succesfully.
 
 The problem comes when I try to move the "UPLOAD" button inside the Update form. Right now it looks like this:
 http://www.webritesolutions.com/Test/upload/now.JPG
 
 This is how I would like it to show:
 http://www.webritesolutions.com/Test/upload/tryingto.JPG
 
 I want to "Upload" button to go next to the "Update record" button. When I do this I get a javascript error and the "Update record" button is disabled.
 Here is the code of what I tried to do:
 
 
 
 
 
<table>
<tr class="KT_buttons">
<td>
<?php // Multiple Upload Helper echo $muploadHelper->Execute(); ?>
</td>
<td colspan="1">
<input type="submit" name="KT_Update1" id="KT_Update1" value="Update record" />
 </td>
</tr>
</table>
 
 Here is the Javascript error:
 http://www.webritesolutions.com/Test/upload/error.JPG
 
 thanks for your help.

A control can only appear once in the visual tree. So you have to remove it from the Grid before you can add it to the DockPanel.
This code will move the Border element from the Grid to the DockPanel when you click the button:
Private Sub Button_Click(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
Dim border = CType(LayoutRoot.FindName("myborder"), Border)
LayoutRoot.Children.Remove(border)
contain.Children.Add(border)
End Sub
<StackPanel>
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<Border x:Name="myborder" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="2">
<TextBlock>...</TextBlock>
</Border>
</Grid>
<DockPanel x:Name="contain" Background="Yellow">
<TextBlock>2</TextBlock>
</DockPanel>
<Button Click="Button_Click" Content="Move"/>
</StackPanel>
You can try it for yourself. But please post your code as formatted text and not as embedded images if you want anyone to be able to reproduce your issue and help you in the future.

Bridge CS6 Script to Find Multiple Images in Multiple folders.

Is it possible to have a script to find multiple images within multiple folders that is on a external hard drive?
For instances I have a external hard drive assuming it's for a library of pictures.
Inside this hard drive has folders named as below
1-1000
1001-2000
2001-3000
3001-4000
If I had a perfect csv file for example that calls out for specific pictures for example 2, 10,1500 and 2000 (remember think big, it may be a larger list than this it could be hundreds or thousands of pictures); is there a script that would allow me to find these images and save a copy of them on to my desktop so that way I don't have to hunt for them in the old fashion way? I can read scripts but writing them is a different story.

If you want to go with Batch I would recommend creating an Action of more or less these steps:
• set the resolution to the same as the background image’s
• change the image from Background Layer to regular Layer if necessary
• convert it to a Smart Object
• add a Drop Shadow Layer Style to the image (do not use Global Angle)
• place the background image (File > Place …)
• move it behind the image layer
• Image > Reveal All
• make Selection from that layer’s transparency (cmd-click its icon in the Layers Panel) and use Image > Crop
• select and transform the image layer to fit the intended position
This would naturally work out best if the images had the same size and proportions.
For the reflection on the floor duplicate the image, flip it vertically, move it in position and reduce its opacity to maybe 10%.
Realistically you may have to hide it partially behind the pillows, a Vector Mask would be an option.

Importing multiple images as inline objects

I know Indesign allows for multiple images to be placed in a grid, but is there a way to import several images straight into a story as inline frames?

After digging around in the scripting section of this forum, I managed to find a snippet of a script which replaces image names in the text with the actual image. Very useful stuff.
// reset the Find/Change dialog app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null; // formulate a grep search string app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = '@.+?@'; // find all occurrence of image names between @, last one first f = app.activeDocument.findGrep (true); for (i = 0; i < f.length; i++) { // construct file name name = f[i].contents.replace (/@/g, ''); // place the pdf and REPLACE the destination with the folder of links f[i].insertionPoints[0].place ('Insert image folder here' + name)); } // delete all @??@ codes app.activeDocument.changeGrep()

InDesign CS3 Scripting XML Import Multiple Images into same Text Frame

I am having trouble importing multiple images into the same Text Frame using XML import. I imported 5 images into the text frame. However, all 5 images are laying on top of one another. Does anyone know if there is a way to have all images laying out like how Microsoft Word handles inline images, i.e., laying out next image to the right of previsous image in the same line and if there is not enough space left in the line, then wrap to next line. Thanks in advance. I understand I could use JavaScript to do post import processing, e.g, calculate the image size and place each images accordingly. But I am trying to see whether there is a way to do this without scripts.

You can apply an object style to all anchored images by script. A text frame containing main flow should be selected.
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var textFrame = app.selection[0];
var rectangles = textFrame.texts[0].rectangles;
if (rectangles.length > 0) {
for (var i=0; i < rectangles.length; i++) {
rectangles[i].appliedObjectStyle = doc.objectStyles.item("Cover");
However, there is a better approach:
Step 1
Create place holders for a single "Book" element and format it as needed -- apply an object style to the cover.
Step 2
Import the xml file -- the placeholders are replaced with data from the 1st xml element
Step 3
Drag & drop the element containing all "Books" elements into the main flow -- all elements are placed and formatted the same way as in step 1.
Finally, add a new page, click the overset text icon and autoflow text to add pages so that to fit all the text.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to open multiple images in Photoshop as smart layers?

Hi All,
After searching, I think I know the answer to this but thought I'd check, we have background plates with main images and love the open multiple images as layers option - but can you open multiple images as multiple smart object layers?
Cheers

This might work.
Edit: But it is a lot less sophisticated than the Load Files into StackScript.
// select folder and place contents as smart objects;
// 2013, use it at your own risk;
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
// select files;
if ($.os.search(/windows/i) != -1) {var theFiles = File.openDialog ("please select files", '*.jpg;*.tif;*.pdf;*.psd;*.bmp', true)}
else {var theFiles = File.openDialog ("please select files", getFiles, true)};
if (theFiles.length > 0) {
for (var m = 0; m < theFiles.length; m++) {
 var theLayer = placeScaleFile(theFiles[m], 0, 0, 100);
////// get psds, tifs and jpgs from files //////
function getFiles (theFile) {
 if (theFile.name.match(/\.(eps|ai|jpg|tif|psd|pdf|)$/i)) {
 return true
////// place //////

OCR with WebCenter Content and Imaging

Hi,
I'm searching for some information about OCR with webcenter content and imaging.
I've seen that there are two solutions :
- WebCenter Capture
- Webcenter Forms Recognition
But I can't find if any of that product use lexical post-correction of OCR results. Is anyone have this information?
Thanks,
David

David:
Both products will use print (vs handwritten) character recognition to identify "tokens" from the image of a document with text. Capture usage focuses mainly on zonal recognition of information - what I would call structured forms processing. Forms Recognition is for information capture from semi-structured documents - say invoices, where you know that many fields are present, but their location differs from example to example. It can use patterns, text locators, etc to find the field. Both benenfit when there exists a reference DB of acceptable values, but that is not a requirement.
Lexical correction (as I understand it to mean) is not a feature of either. They are not going to try to validate extracted tokens based upon language analysis. I would try to use them to extract all of the tokens and then add some tool to do lexical analysis. You could do that as a separate, post OCR process, or try to see if you can fit it into an FR post-extraction EP.
Might I ask what the business problem you are trying to solve is?

Preview multiple images

When I open a folder with multiple image files, Preview shows the scroll bar fully grey and if I attempt to click on an image, Preview always jumps to the last image instead of allowing me to click on the image I wish. This behavior only started with the change to Yosemite.

Before Yosemite all the thumbnails remained in view and you could just click on the next image.
Preview in Mavericks and Yosemite work the same way with transitions between contact sheet view and single image.
Toggle between option + command + 6 (view contact sheet) and option + command + 1 (view content). When in the view content mode, just use the arrow keys to move in the direction of the next image you want to view.

Scrolling multiple images in scrollPane

Hey. I want to add multiple images (they are now in movie
clips) to a scrollPane, and it's giving me more problems than I
think it should. I thought of adding many images to one movie clip,
but what I may end up doing is switching the order of the images
several times, so I began to think of another way.
What I have now is a scrollPane with two movie clips in it.
They are on top of one another. I thought that I should be able to
leave the y value of one at 0 and set the other so that it's 200
and then they would scroll one after the other. I haven't been able
to get this to work. Is this something that is do-able within a
scrollPane, or not? I'm working the best I can with the AS, but
it's still new to me.
Thank you for your insight. Create a great day.

Thank you, I’ve been working on trying your suggestion.
I’ve been able to attach the movie to the first, however, the
second movie is not showing up within the scroll pane. To
complicate matters, the third movie also seems to cancel out the
second, even when I attach the movie outside of the scrollPane. I
have one layer, and the movie clips I’m working with are
Image1_mc, Image2_mc, and Image3_mc.
My script:
this.createClassObject(mx.containers.ScrollPane, "my_sp",
20);
my_sp.move(0, 30);
my_sp.setSize(650, 250);
my_sp.contentPath = "Image1_mc";
my_sp.attachMovie("Image2_mc", " Image2_mc", 0, {_x:0,
_y:100});
my_sp.attachMovie("Image3_mc", " Image3_mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:0, _y:200});  variations of
these two lines are what I’ve been tweaking
var nstepListener:Object = new Object();
nstepListener.change = function(evt_obj:Object) {
my_sp.content._alpha = my_nstep.value;
my_nstep.addEventListener("change", nstepListener);

How to place multiple images in batch with drop shadow effects on room backgrounds at the same position?

I want to place multiple images of hand paintings with drop shadow effects on room backgrounds to make them look as if the paintings are hanged on the room walls. I know how to do it one by one, but that takes time and I want to do it in batch at once.
I am quite a beginner for adobe photoshop CS6. I belive such an automated task is possible through 'Automated Batch' function and/or 'Create Droplet' function. Kindly share your expert opinion.

If you want to go with Batch I would recommend creating an Action of more or less these steps:
• set the resolution to the same as the background image’s
• change the image from Background Layer to regular Layer if necessary
• convert it to a Smart Object
• add a Drop Shadow Layer Style to the image (do not use Global Angle)
• place the background image (File > Place …)
• move it behind the image layer
• Image > Reveal All
• make Selection from that layer’s transparency (cmd-click its icon in the Layers Panel) and use Image > Crop
• select and transform the image layer to fit the intended position
This would naturally work out best if the images had the same size and proportions.
For the reflection on the floor duplicate the image, flip it vertically, move it in position and reduce its opacity to maybe 10%.
Realistically you may have to hide it partially behind the pillows, a Vector Mask would be an option.
