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...
Any idea what is happening and why?
I am running Aperture 2.1.2...

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...

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

"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?
Thanks

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

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.

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
Mike

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!

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.

How to set up Adobe Printer to save .pdf in folder

Good morning.
I am looking for guidance on how one can set up a virtual "adobe" printer that saves a print job as a .pdf in a specific shared folder.
Example:
1. External application creates a print job
2. Print job goes to a pre-named, virtual printer.
3. The virtual printer accepts the print job
4. The print job is turned into a .pdf document and the document is saved in a shared folder.
Additionally, can the naming convention of the saved folders be "dynamic"? In this scenario, a print job named "ABC123" is saved as "ABC123.PDF" and another print job named "XXX900" is saved as "XXX900.pdf", etc.
Appreciate the help.
medina

Yes.
Ideally it would be installed on the application server where the job is generated and sent to the specified printer (internal settings). Then when the job hits the printer it drops a .pdf in a shared folder.
Appreciate the help.

My hard drive died last week, and I needed to install a new one. Previously, I was able to save a .doc with text and inserted photo to .pdf and then to .jpg. Now I can get the .pdf but can't determine what to do to convert to .jpg. Does anyone know ?

Rather than do that, which means starting over from scratch, losing all your edits, organisation and so on, why not simply use iPhoto Library Manager to revert the Library to the older version? Easier, less destructive.
The instructions on that are here
If you really want to start over: you can access the Originals folder simply by going to your Pictures Folder and finding the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.

Photoshop CS5 - Action is not running automatically while I trying to save PDF to JPG

My Problem in Photoshop CS5: Action is not running automatically while I trying to save PDF to JPG, in the batch process:
Followed following steps:
Opened PDF file
Created new auction (F2)
Flatten image
Save as JPG
Close file
To Run Batch:
Opened Batch dialogue box
Selected set/action name
Source: selected as “Folder”
Directed location using “Choose” button
And no selected any check boxes under the “Choose” button
Clicked “OK”
Now all the PDFs are opened one after another but not execute the selected action. Please help how to resolve for auto run.

What is part of the Action?
Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?
Have you tried using Image Processor or Image Processor Pro instead of Batch?

Batch JavaScript Fails to Save PDF from XDP

I generated hundreds of XDP files from a database query and need to merge them with a PDF template. Using Acrobat Pro 8 interactively allows me to do this by opening the file and then saving it, but I need to do this for hundreds of files.
So, I created a batch script that would run on all files in a folder and it does run on the XDP file but the form data is not populated in the PDF. Batch mode seems to be different than Interactive mode when dealing with xdp files.
Can I make this batch script merge the xdp form data into the PDFs? Is there a different or better way to do this?
Thanks.
Peter
In addition to just letting the batch process save the files, I also tried to save from a JavaScript "command" in the batch process.
/* Save the document */
app.execMenuItem("save");

I tried that first (without the save), but the resulting PDF had no form data from the XDP. That's when I added the save.
The merging seems to fail when run from batch, but it works fine when I open and then save the file in Acrobat Pro or Reader.
Is there a command in the batch processing that is necessary to move the data from the XDP to the resulting PDF? Will the proper Save command do the trick? [I left work early due to our snow so I can't try this myself.]

How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file?

How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file with Acrobat 9.0.0 Standard?

I am not seeing that behaviour. If I right-click a link to a .pdf file, I get the file saved with the original filename.
Maybe one of the settings in about:config controls that?
pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction is a setting that has a value of 4 with my setup. I have no idea what that means, and I could not find any explanation anywhere. You could try using different numbers for that value and see if any make any difference. Why has nobody bothered to explain that setting anywhere?
