Using batch convert tool on my website

Can anyone help me out with a few questions:
1) How can I use Batch Convert tool on my website where I will be able to process the files with an automated process?
2) How and from where can I get the API to embed on my website?
3) I want to automate the batch conversion process so that no human intervention is required. Can I do that?
Appreciate the answers.

The batch processor in Audition is an internal tool, not an external one so no, you can't use it on your website because it's DAW, not a web development kit. There's no API available.

Can I use Adobe Acrobat X Pro to batch convert v1.6 PDF files to v1.3?

Recently I have posted up a project so the contractor can read the text in the PDF and create hyperlinks from these text. These PDFs are in format of engineering drawings.
He informed me that he was going to use PHP to read the PDF text as javascript cannot.
He then asked me to convert the version of our current PDF files from v1.6 to a lower version: v1.3, because php cannot work with higher PDF versions.
So I found this PDF version converter: [link removed by forum host] but it only converts one by one. I have like a few hundreds of them, so I really need something to do batch convert.
Could anyone help me out here? We (the small business I am working at) do not have Adobe Acrobat X Pro but will buy it if it can do the job.
Otherwise could anyone advise me of any other software that can do this?
Thanks heaps.

Yes, Acrobat XI Pro can do this very easily. You can create an Action that runs the PDF Optimizer tool, which can convert the file content so it's compatible with any earlier version of PDF (as well as other things). Actions can then be run against a folder of files.

Using the eyedropper tool to take a color from another file or website...

Hi,
I'm new to Kuler, but recall being able to use the eyedropper tool in InDesign and click on an area of color from a file from another application or a website and have use it in the InDesign file.
Am I incorrect?
If there is a way to do what I am asking if you could please explain how I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks and look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Not sure what exactly you are asking here.
However, wrt Kuler in Indesign, You can add swatches to Indesign Swatches Panel. You can apply color to ID Fill/Stroke color by simply double-clicking a color on Create Tab inside Kuler panel. Or you can take color from Fill/Stroke and set it as base in Create tab to create theme around it

My batch feature in bridge has disappeared completely after update, I uninstalled everything adobe CC using the cleaner tool

My batch feature in bridge has disappeared completely after update, I uninstalled everything adobe CC using the cleaner tool.
I sue the batch feature for my job everyday to batch multiple images with a custom action, I need this feature back ASAP
Iam on a new 27 IMAC OSX 10.9.4
Adobe CC 2014 newest version completely up to date.

The cleaner tool doesn't touch presets, templates or other user data. All it does is flush the installer database to remove blockages. The last time it actualyl deleted any files and folders was with CS3. so whatever you did, you may have hit the wrong button. And while I underrstand your frustration, the download pages states that you are advised to backup your data, regardless...

Using Aperture to batch convert images from tiff to jpeg

Hi there
My first question - here goes:
I wish to batch convert several thousand tiffs (of various sizes) to a standardised jpeg (A4 @ 300dpi). I'm looking for software to automate this process as much as possible; ideally, it would search designated folders and place the new jpegs in a (matching) new folder structure.
Would Aperture be suitable for this, or should I consider Adobe Lightroom (or other)?
Many thanks
BR

No filters.
Solution I used was to create new project. Copy images to it. Delete old project.
Aperture would not let me copy images from old albums to old project.

Drag and Drop to Batch Convert Videos Using FFMPEG

I've created this simple Applescript that will run an FFMPEG command in the Terminal (which I want to show so that I can see the progress) on files dropped on the MTS to Cropped MPG.app icon:
on open filelist
          repeat with i in filelist
                    tell application "Terminal"
                              do script "/Users/Lapaki/Desktop/MTS\ to\ Cropped\ MPG.app/Contents/Resources/ffmpeg -i " & POSIX path of i & " -vf crop=iw-360:1080:180:0 -f dvd -vcodec mpeg2video -s 720x480 -r 29.97 -acodec ac3 -ar 48000 -ab 448000 -async 1 -aspect 4:3 -b 4500000 " & POSIX path of i & ".mpg"
                    end tell
          end repeat
end open
I'd like to make this app portable so that I can share it or move it around as needed, so I put FFMPEG inside the Contents/Resources folder inside the app. The obvious problem is that the script will break as soon as I move the app to a different location. Is there a way to write the dynamic path of the app itself, no matter where it is moved, so that the app won't break when shared or moved?
This script also only works on a single video file. What I'd really like to do is drop a folder (which will always be called "mts") onto the app, and have the script create a new folder called "mpg" in the same directory as "mts", then batch convert all the .mts files in the "mts" folder, placing each new .mpg file into the "mpg" folder.
I'd also like the .mpg files to retain the same name as the .mts files, but instead of just appending .mpg, I'd like the .mpg to replace the .mts extension. So 00001.mts would be 00001.mpg (not 00001.mts.mpg as the current script generates).
Any help here would be much appreciated.

Tony,
quoted form of worked perfectly!
Now to the batching...
In my case there will never be nested directories. There will simply a folder called "mts" with at least one, but perhaps many .mts files, all named sequentially (00000.MTS, 00001.MTS, and so on).
So I'm having trouble figuring out how to integrate this:
on process_files_(fs)
          repeat with f in fs
                    tell application "System Events" to set finfo to the properties of f
                    if kind of finfo is "Folder" then
                              tell application "Finder" to set dirList to (items in f) as alias list
process_files_(dirList) -- recurse directories
                    else if tolower(«class extn» of finfo) is not equal to "flac" then
                              tell me to activate
                              tell me to display dialog (name of finfo & " is not a Flac file") with iconcaution giving up after 2
                    else
                              try
                                        with timeout of 30000 seconds -- plenty of time
                                                  my itunes_convert_(f)
                                        end timeout
                              end try
                    end if
          end repeat
end process_files_
With this:
on open filelist
          repeat with i in filelist
                    tell application "Terminal"
                              do script quoted form of (POSIX path of (path to me) & "Contents/Resources/ffmpeg" as string) & " -i " & POSIX path of i & " -vf crop=iw-360:1080:180:0 -f dvd -vcodec mpeg2video -s 720x480 -r 29.97 -acodec ac3 -ar 48000 -ab 448000 -async 1 -aspect 4:3 -b 4500000 " & POSIX path of i & ".mpg"
                    end tell
          end repeat
end open
Again, it would be great to just drop a folder called "mts" onto the application, and have it convert all the .mts files inside and put them in a new folder called "mpg", which would be in the same directory as the "mts" folder.
Any way to make this happen?

How do I batch convert .ai to .jpg or .png in Bridge CC 2014?

I have found where you could "Export" them out in older versions of Bridge but no "Export" function exist in CC 2014.

You could do it like this: http://www.santoshgs.com/blog/189/how-to-batch-convert-png-to-jpeg-using-photoshop-cs2/
But can I be honest? I'd do that with a more efficient and far faster conversion utility like IrfanView. Photoshop is incredibly slow for this type of work. For example, I did a quick test to demonstrate the difference in performance:
folder with 10 images in jpg format, 5600px by 5600px. Simple jpg to png batch.
Photoshop: over six minutes.
IrfanView: one minute and 40 seconds.
That's a rather big difference - and with large numbers of images I just do not have the time to wait for Photoshop to finish the job. It's too slow.
Another issue is that during the conversion process Photoshop cannot be used - while with a simple conversion utility you can leave it running in the background, and continue to use PS for other work if required. This matters if you have hundreds of images to convert.
Btw, Irfanview (windows only) is free to download @ http://www.irfanview.com/
The batch processing you can find under File-->Batch Conversion <b>
ImageMagick is also free and open source. It is a command line tool, and easy to use for conversions.Will also work on a mac. But it is much slower than IrfanView, a tad faster than PS.

Can't Use Batch Rename "Rename In Same Folder" for some photos

Have a strange problem: when using "Batch Rename…" under the "Tools" menu, "Rename In Same Folder" is unusable for some photos taken with some cameras, not for others. For one example, I shift-selected a range of photos taken at a recent vacation, some with my iPhone, some with my girlfriend's Canon PowerShot SD450. Bridge renamed the iPhone photos, but not Canon photos. For another example, if I select a single photo taken by her cell phone or Canon camera, "Rename In Same Folder" is grayed-out; if I select a single photo taken my by iPhone, not so. Does anyone understand this behavior, and is there a solution?

Bridge Support Center in the help menu leads to a 404 error page.
Sadly enough this is also on my system (Mac OSX 10.6.8) It should not be showing 404 but it is there...
What Bridge help files and links, forums, communities, google searches do not do is tell you how to fix what happens with the problem
In general restarting Bridge holding down option key (in your case alt key) to choose reset preferences solves most problems.
Here is a page from Adobe Support about Troubleshooting (although this states you should combine option/alt with cmd/ctrl but that is not needed)
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/317/317912.html
I want to use Bridge batch rename to change jpegs into Mac PC compatible jpegs.
Although I have the option for compatibility with Unix and Windows checked in my customized presets I'm not really aware of the need for that. If you have a .JPG or .jpg extension as the extension a Mac reeds and opens the file without problems. I am aware that as a Mac user I had the need to take care of Windows files in the past. Before OSX a Mac did not need an extension to recognize and open a file. Since OSX is Unix based the need to use an extension is there and also you should only use one dot (.) in the filename and that is before the extension at the end of the filename. Using spaces, commas etc is possible but not prefered. In basic, keep it simple (and short) and the file will open on all systems without problems.
When you select a preset, the rename and preview buttons grey out. So I start all over...clear cache, check file permissions, restart/shutdown, etc
That should not happen, presets and batch rename should be always available, even if you have only one file selected. You should start with the refreshing of the preferences. Deleting caches and checking file permissions are not needed every time for clearing prefs (although it is wise to maintain your system on a regular basis, but that is good for the use of all apps).
On a Mac the user defined Batch Rename settings are saved in the user library / application support / Adobe/ Bridge CS5 / Batch rename setting. (not a single clue how that translate to windows but I have no reason to believe that such a file should not be present on your system.)
Enter the term "batch rename" in the windows Bridge forum search and I got....ZERO results.
Well, again a disappointment, there will be many result available in both Windows and Mac forum but it sure is not easy to find them
The forum search option is next to useless. I believe you should try to switch to the main forum page or something, I once had a result but after so many tries I forgot how I managed this (combined with getting angrier every try...)
I could really use some help because there is no way I can convert the number of files I have to make them compatible in MACs
As stated before, if the are .jpg they are already compatible
it used to be in CS 3 and 4 but since I "upgraded" to Production Premium suite 5.5 none of the version work.
If you keep having problems you might consider the clean tool option to clear PSCS 3 and 4. Check also this KB article:
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
It should be possible to use all CS versions on your system but you can have only one version of Bridge active at the time. Upgrading from a single CS to a Suite should also be possible without problems but sadly enough everything that should be possible without problems is often only happening in the ideal world...

How to batch convert psd to png with layers

how to batch convert psd to png with layers
i want to convert lots of PSD files into PNGs WHILE RETAINING
LAYERS!
simply batching and choosing custom setting flattens the
thing.
how do i do that!??
and i KNOW it can be done somehow - because i have some old
png's i KNOW come from the same psd source. ironic, isn't it?
besides - feature wish for adobe developers:
A) batch conversion should include 300dpi to 72dpi and vise
versa.
B) batch conversion should include PSD to PNG and vice versa
- including layers and transparency.
C) RGB to CMYK option when converting from 72 dpi to 300dpi.
D) batch exporting should include PNG32 which it doesnt now -
but somehow DOES include the outdated and stupid gif-format.
E) i'd like the Actions feature of photoshop - makes batching
complicated procedures easly.
F) I'd like support for the brushes of photoshop
G) Better selecting tools for details like hair and fine
edges.
Important notes is that i as webdesigner often need to make
certain aspects of my clients graphics into print material. Also
that i use fireworks for picture editing.
Praise for the developers of fireworks
A) the compression facility of JPGs is AWESOME!
B) PNG as fileformat is likewise awesome - i end up using it
for almost all i do these days. Transparency and good file sizes. I
have used fireworks cs3 to convert all psd and tiff and ai files to
PNG.
C) the vectors and styles and method of selecting and editing
things in fireworks is FAR SUPERIOR to flash and photoshop!

Batch convert files to 4x6 with copyright?

How do you batch convert files to 4x6 with copyright?

How do you batch convert files to 4x6 with copyright?
You need to create an action in PS (include a conditional option for both landscape and portrait). With this action ready you can select the files in Bridge, use menu Tools, Photoshop / Batch and inhere choose the action you created and let it run.
For the action itself you might want to visit the PS forum for more details, it is not easy to create a watermark on each image but possible. Just try it and explore.

Batch convert TODs to MOVs Automator?

Hi guys
Given the local help (Apple resellers) are clueless, I was hoping one of you BRILLIANT FCP users might be able to help me.
The deal is I'm working on a new series and management decided to go tapeless. So they bought a batch of problematic JVC Everio HDD (GZ-70) DV minicams.
They produce .TOD files which of course FCP 6.0 (upgrading to Studio v.2 and allegedly Final Cut Server one day but I have my suspicions this will be delayed interminedly) can't deal with.
So we are converting to QT .MOVs one by one by one by one and it is a drag.
Does anyone have an Automator script to batch convert TODs to MOVs?
I would be so grateful if you could help... We're dying here.
Julie

Hi
Google finds:
feed://www.amazon.com/rss/people/A3TTNRJ34PR4OX/reviews
"Forget about following JVC's instructions: they are too time-consuming and don't allow batch processing. The easiest conversion method I've found requires two freeware programs: The VLC media player, and MPEG Streamclip, both available on the Apple Website (and elsewhere). You'll first need to use the VLC player to convert the .TOD into a .TS file, which takes seconds (you are only changing the container format to MPEG TS, not actually changing compression). Once you've changed the .TOD file to a .TS file, you can use MPEG Streamclip to change to a variety of file formats that Final Cut Pro can recognize. Of course since you are recompressing the file at this point, expect this to take far longer than the first step."
The Mpegstreamclip pages at:
www.squared5.com
explain how to batch process using this conversion utility:
"MPEG Streamclip supports batch processing: just drag some files in the batch list, choose a conversion and a folder, click the Go button and MPEG Streamclip will automatically convert all your files."

How to batch convert with After Effects CS3

I sure hope this isn't a super silly question!
I have never used After Effects as it came with my Adobe Master Suite and it's quite duanting to learn all of those programs at once. I'm trying to figure out how to convert several MPEG files to AVI using a batch convert process. It would seem to me that would be a pretty simple process and I've read in several locations that it can't be done with Premiere Pro any more. They also say it can be done in After Effects but they don't explain how.
I'm pretty new to video editing so layman's terms would be much appreciated. I'm running After Effects CS3 on Windows XP.

It can be done, but After Effects is far from being a specialized encoding application. A bit like using a ten ton truck to commute
In CS4, threre is such an specialized app. It's called Adobe Media Encoder, and it can be used in standalone mode or invoked from within Premiere Pro or AE.
Remember, After Effects is a content creation tool that offers multiple ways to render the content you create. But it's not an utility to convert or encode video formats.
If you really want to do this in AE, this could be a way:
Import all your MPEG files in the Project Panel.
Select them all (drag with your mouse or make Project panel active, then Control+A on Win or Command+A on Mac).
Drag them all to the New Comp button at the bottom of the project panel.
You will get a dialog which offers to place all these files in a single After Effects Composition, or create a separate Composition for each. Select the latter.
In the Project panel, select the resulting compositions and go to Composition > Add to Render Queue. Set each item to AVI format with your codec of choice.
Of course, there are a million variables that couldn't be discussed in a single post or thread.
As you can see, you are performing a lot of steps because After Effects is designed to render video once you have created content in the form of After Effects Compositions. In that context, these steps would not be "a lot" - you arrive there quite naturally.
I suggest you take a look at the After Effects Help chapter on Rendering and exporting

So you are having an error when you run a native application. As I said before this is not a Java question.
Possibly whatever tool you used to create the .exe file is faulty or was misused in some way. The makers of that tool would be the people to ask.
Possibly the .exe you created requires some particular configuration of your machine (system variables and the like). Again, consult the documentation of whatever tool you used to create the .exe, or ask whoever supports it.
It seems to me a bit overly complicated to create an .exe instead of arranging for a Java application to run in response to the text files being "opened". There were detailed instructions (for Windows) posted on this site within the last day or so saying how this is done. You might like to search for them.
