Save as tiff option needed

I have generated a flowable XFA form that uses a javascript call to "save a file as a tiif" .
this is working but -
I need to be able to specify a few option about how it is saved - like - "monochrome" or 300 X 300 dpi , etc -
right now the defaults are being used, etc -
I am wondering if I can just update the defaults whenever my form runs - so that I get the same effect this would be very acceptable .
Please assist -
Thanks

Try this:
#target illustrator
// PART 1 -> OK, this part works
var doc = app.activeDocument;
doc.artboards[0].artboardRect = doc.visibleBounds; //cropt de artboard naar enkel de figuurgrootte
// PART 2 ->
var destFile = new File(decodeURI(doc.fullName).replace(/(?: \[Converted\])?\.eps$/, '.ai'));   // also remove "[Converted]" from filename
var options = new IllustratorSaveOptions({});   // new save as options
options.compatibility = Compatibility.ILLUSTRATOR15;   // save as AI CS5
options.pdfCompatible = false;   //I don't like it
options.useCompression = true;   //I like it
doc.saveAs(destFile, options);   // save the file in the same foldere as the eps
// PART 3 -> OK, this part works
doc.close(SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES);   // close the file with saving
PART 4 -> change color profile
Do you mean change colorMode? But there is no grayscale colorMode.

  • Save as menu has limited options - need PNG back!

    Yesterday I had a long list of Save as types. Today, I only have .psd, .pdd, .psb, . exr, .raw, .pbm, .hdr, .tiff
    I need to save my files as .PNG for my client. What happened - why would this change overnight? And how do I get the save options back?
    Using CC 2014.

    Solved - I had set the bit depth to 32, and PS restricted the save types to ones that supported 32 bit. I created a new image and set the bit depth to 16 and PNG reappeared in the Save as drop down list!

    Sorry I thought  was just a one off, it would be no use for large volumes.
    Do you not have this avaiable in the print menu in Preview with these documents?
    I have also found a link on the Adobe web site that discusses that this facilty is enabled by the creater of the PDF.

    If you do a web search there are various claims on how to save a protected PDF, I have'nt a way to test the proceedures. I would want a copy of any forms that I sent off, not sure why they protect them in this way, there must be a reason.

  • Should I save as TIFF or PSD?

    Hello, I have been going 'round in circles trying to decide whether to set my Lightroom external editing pref's for Photoshop as PSD or TIFF. I've very recently downloaded Photoshop - I'll be using it after I've done what I can in Lightroom, just for photo's - I've never used 'layers'
    1) Can anyone advise which might be best - I read somewhere that PSD might be easier (or necessary) if I need to re-edit. I also read PSD could be a good idea as it would be easy to see which is the master edit, and which files have been saved as TIFF, for print say
    2) I also read that you should never flatten a file, at least not until you need to (ie: save as TIFF for print) - any thoughts?
    3) My thoughts (mixed up though they may be!) are to say edit layers etc in PS (either TIFF or PSD) then just press 'save', but not flatten layers (I understand the PSD or TIFF will then be alongside my original raw file back in Lightroom, as LR/PS automatically does this). Then say for print I would then  'save as' a TIFF (ie: for printing), or JPEG (ie: for web), and this would automatically flatten the file. If this is correct, say I started off with the un-flattened PSD for example, would I need to firstly make a copy of the PSD, or would just doing a 'save as' still keep the original PSD 'master file'? Also, after I say did a 'save as' for a TIFF, could I then just delete the TIFF and do another 'save as' if I wanted to do another print in the future, or better to just keep the TIFF in Lightroom alongside the raw, master PSD or TIFF / JPEG?
    4) I won't be doing huge amounts in Photoshop, so would it be worth looking into using 'smart images / smart filters' - I'm just thinking that if document is not being flattened anyway would it be worthwhile?
    Sorry about all the questions, but the more I read the more confused I become - I'm the sort of person who likes to know what they are doing before they do it if that makes sense (probably not!!)
    Thanks, Roy

    Here's my thoughts...
    1. You are a bit confused and I wonder how you can determine a file is a PSD or a TIF by looking at it?  Not all print drivers can recognize PSD's, but can recognize TIF ( this means almost all output devices can interpret TIF's no problem ).  That said, PSD's can manage layers better than TIF's which add to file size each layer you include in the TIF.
    2. Never say never.  This all depends on the file's use.  Layered TIFs can add complexity in which a print driver can or cannot deal with.  As you work on an image, you may want to merge layers for whatever reason(s) and you always have the option to flatten whenever you feel like it.  However, It is also a good idea to dupe the file as you move along.  That means you always have a layered version to fall back on should you need to edit later on.  I also Place transparent PSDs in Illustrator files with no problems.  But, I save as EPS in Illustrator and when I do that, then the file is automatically flattened.  This is perhaps what the internet was talking about.
    3.  Yes, see number 2 above.  There's no such thing as automatic flattening of TIFFs.  Again, this all depends on the printer and whether or not it can print while retaining original layers.  Some do, some don't.  Most of the time, I edit in PSD with layers intact.  Then, when I prep the file for printing, I will save a copy as a flattened TIFF so the file streamlines through the RIP and Print process.
    4.  Makes no difference.  Use 'em if you've got 'em.
    Try to get some good resource material at a library or college bookstore or barnes & noble.  Also, get Adobe's Print Publishing Guide.  This is a good reference guide.

  • HOW DO I DEAL WITH THE TIFF OPTIONS SCREEN?

    I am a beginner with PSE 10 learning how to save an edited TIFF scan.  I check the box for saving in Version Set and clik OK. The TIFF Options window comes up.  How do I learn what this is for and how to handle the choices it presents?  I have exhausted what is available in HELP.  Suggestions Please!

    It’s really a question of choosing compression otherwise an uncompressed tiff file is very large and will slow down your computer. I normally use LZW. It’s lossless compression and has been around longer than ZIP and can be handled by most third parties e.g. if you need to send your files to a print lab.
    I never recommend saving tiff files with layers as they become huge. Always use the Photoshop format (PSD) for saving layered files which are much more efficient.

    Sorry you're right, the Office category isn't currently accepting bug reports in which case Olaf's suggestion to use the smiley face is the way to go. In Excel please go to File > Options > Trust Centre > 'Trust Centre Settings...' and check
    that the Feeeback Tool is enabled.
    If the option is greyed out like this...
    ... then you should be able to enable it by changing the value of the 'Enabled' registry key from a 0 to a 1 which you will find under: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Feedback. You will then need to close all Office applications
    and re-launch Excel 2013.
    Once the Feeback Tool has been enabled, you should see the smile face(s) in the top right hand corner of the Excel window and be able to send your feedback.

  • Just upgraded to Mavericks. Now I cannot access scans from my hp scanner. After it complete the scans and I try to save as tiff, jpeg or pdf I get a either a grey blur or a message that says cannot save because the file cannot be written to.

    Just upgraded to Mavericks. Now I cannot access scans from my hp scanner. After it complete the scans and I try to save as tiff, jpeg or pdf I get a either a grey blur or a message that says cannot save because the file cannot be written to. I did not have any problems before the upgrade. I would greatly appreciate any light shed on this.

    Go to the HP site and look for drivers for your scanner. It apparently needs an updated driver to work with Mavericks.

  • After Effects CC doesn't have the "Save as CS6" option?

    I am trying to use CS6 to open an .aep file and it is erroring out. We tried saving the file from the original AE CC system as a CS6 version but that wasn't an option in the menu, just Save as CC 12.0. Any ideas here? I need some backwards compatibility between the two versions. All I find online is that there is supposed to be a "Save as CS6" option in AE CC.
    Ben

    Rick, while I truly appreciate the help, you are coming across a bit condescending. Please realize that.
    I am not new to these programs therefore I do know when I am using what version to do what. I have created a file in CC2014. In CC2014 saved it as CC12. (the only option) Then I reopened the CC12 version in CC2014, to attempt to then save it as CS6. The option to save as CS6 is not there. Only CC12. If I'm not opening it properly, then I'm not sure of the process. If it's different than a standard open file command, then shame on Adobe for making it convoluted. At this point, the other person is going to install CS6 so we are compatible across. If you have an insight as to why Save as CS6 never is an option in CC, I would be eager to know. However, please realize that I do have a hankering of how to use software.
    Thanks.

  • LR saves unwanted tiff copy of image when "edit in" selects an external RIP - ImagePrint in this instance.

    Hi,
    Latest LR 5.7 installed.  I am printing with ImagePrint RIP which is accessed via "edit it" drop down under "Photo" menu selection.  LR makes a tiff copy of the image every time I print appending -edit###  [### is a number] each time.  I have checked with ImagePrint support an they do not send anything back to LR, so LR must be doing some sort of an automatic save.
    How can I stop this behavior that is clogging my archive?

    If there is a setting to avoid saving the tiff back in Lightroom, I cannot find it documented anywhere.
    I understand that the external "editor" needs to have a tiff file to edit or in this case print, but each time I open the original .NEF file or even a tiff file to edit in the external editor, and additional copy is made in lightroom with another '-edit989' or whatever the next sequential number is, is also saved in the catalog.  Thus you can have something like _A0009876-edit 734 - edit 735.tiff etc. accumulating.
    There is no need to save these TIFFs. but I'll be darned if I can figure out how to avoid this issue.
    Same also happens with SilverEFEX, IntensifyPro, etc.  I can't find anyone else that has noticed this behavior so I am stumped.  Any further ideas.

  • Cannot save as TIFF LWZ

    In the Photoshop CS6 Beta I don't TIFF options to save.  The only option I have in saving a TIFF is raw compression.  What's up?

    Let me put on my mind reading cap:  you're on MacOS and you copied the plugins from an older version of Photoshop into the CS6 plugins folder, or you set the CS6 additional plugins preference to point to the plugins folder of an older version of Photoshop.
    Go undo whichever of those you did to get rid of the duplicated plugins that don't work with CS6.
    Then the save dialog should work fine again.

  • Save as Tiff in Pages

    I used to have 'Save as Tiff' when printing in Pages before.  How could I enable it again?

    Pages ’09 did not offer a Save as Tiff…  in that printing PDF sub-menu, any more than Pages v5. It may be possible that at one time, you had a third-party image application that provided an entry to this menu, or as an option from the Edit Menu… category.
    You can generate the PDF, and within Preview (using thumbnail view), select the PDF page that you want to export as a tiff image.

  • Quicktime pro no longer allowing a 'save as source' option...

    I updated my software today to Safari 4 and Quicktime Pro 7.6.4 and as soon as I did that, when I go to a .mp3 file in safari, there is no option to 'save as source'. I am certain that the software update is what messed it up, because right before I updated, the 'save as source' was still an option. I checked Quicktime to make sure I was still registered as pro and it says I am. Any way I can bring back this feature? and why is it even gone in the first place?

    I have experienced this same problem, and it drives me crazy. However, the situation is more complex than it initially seems. Quicktime seems to retain the "save as source" option under certain conditions. When I'm accessing a sound file through Quicktime on Safari and I need to save as source, I access the same page with Firefox and I still have that option. I don't know why.

  • PCI-GPIB does not like returning from computer power-save mode. I need to restart the application. Uggh! Customer not happy.

    It seems volatile memory is lost on the PCI GPIB Card. When the system returns from power-save, I cannot get to my GPIB instruments. I have to close the application and restart it. I've tried unregistering and reregistering the gpib globals and resetting the device interfaces (reissuing the ibdev command) without luck. I am using Visual Basic 6, but I also get the Measurement and Automation Explorer to fail in the same way, so I don't think it is my development environment.

    Can you change your power save settings? What operating system
    are you running?
    Also, some BIOS's have options for power save. For example, recent
    IBM's can be set to maintain power to all peripherals, or only to main
    memory. Of course, you would want it to maintain power.
    I suspect the GPIB board and its driver are completely unable to
    handle power save operation. It probably was never considered while
    it was being designed.

    Earlier i was able to download mp3 files by pressing on link for some time and menu popus up "Save link as" but after recent update that option is gone.
    That option is desperately needed.
    One more thing is MP3 file start playing in black player on firefox when i actually want to download them and then play it.
    fix this issue ASAP.

    I still have the "Save link as" option in my context menu with FF 17. Maybe something went wrong with the update?
