Watch Folders

I have installed Premiere Elements and wanted to use the Organizer. I wanted to specify a watch folder, but whenever I click on File -> Watch Folders... I get an error: The Watch Folder Service is Unavailable. I have even gone and reinstalled the software and that didn't seem to help. I am running Adobe Premiere Elements 8 on Windows 7 64bit. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it working? I would rather use this than manually adding videos.
Thanks

Do I have this correct...you only have Premiere Elements 8 (no Photoshop Elements 8) and want to use a Watch Folder feature in the program, and your operating system is Window 7 64 bit? And, you are not finding Adobe Active File Monitor V8 in the Service List under Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services to get the feature functioning??
I have Windows XP Professional, SP3.
Without Photoshop Elements 8, it is a no go according to my observations. You can open Premiere Elements 8, go to the Elements Organizer (via Organizer Tab in the row below the Organize (Blue) Tab) and there to the File Menu/Watch Folders. But you are going to get a "The Watch Folder Service is Unavailable" message. And, when you go to the Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services, there is no Adobe Active File Monitor V8.
Today I had to do a complete and clean uninstall reinstall of my Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8 to resolve an Organizer would not open issue. I reinstalled Premiere Elements 8 first and found what I described above with no Adobe File Monitor V8 in the Services List. Next, after I installed Photoshop Elements 8, the Adobe File Monitor V8 appeared in the Service List.
Even before all the uninstalling/reinstalling, I suspected Photoshop Elements was force that placed that Adobe File Monitor in the Service List. On my computer I have Photoshop Elements 6 Premiere Elements 4, Photoshop Elements 7 Premiere Elements 7, and Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8 installed. When I went to the Service List before all this uninstalling reinstalling I found there:
Adobe File Monitor V6
Adobe File Monitor V7
Adobe File Monitor V8
The key here is that Photoshop Elements 6 is integrated with Premiere Elements 4, and the Service List said Adobe File Monitor 6, not Adobe File Monitor 4 or 6 and 4. With the others, both partners have the same number, that is 7 and 7 as well as 8 and 8. Bottom line, all this suggests to me that regardless of operating system, the presence of the Adobe File Monitor depends on the presence of Adobe Photoshop Elements. What do you think?

Convert ps to pdf - watched folders process one at a time ?

does the destiller server process the watched folders one at a time or it can process several depending on the license?
i have the "normal" distiller and i have this problem, if a huge file is being converted, the other files from watched folders are not converted.

I think I found my answer at a different set of instuctions at http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat-com/kb/using-createpdf.html. This set of instructions clearly indicates that files will be selected 1 at a time.
Click Combine Files To PDF.
Click Select Files.
Select one of the files that you want to combine.
Click Open.
Click Add Files and select additional files to combine. Click Open."
If anyone has any ideas on how to more quickly combine files, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to process watch folders on a MAC (OS X) without being logged in?

We are running Adobe Media Encoder 5.5 on our MAC OS X system with a number of watch folders on our network. This works as expected while a user is logged onto the system but not when logged out. Is there any way to set this up so that AME will still process the watch folders even if the user is logged out?
Thank you

I don't imagine it will. If you're not logged onto the network, the program can't access the folder. If you're not logged into the local user account, the program can't run.

Photoshop Elements 6/7/8 (Windows) Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

As of June 2010 I no longer maintain this FAQ. I’ve migrated to Lightroom 3, which I use for all my organizing and most of my editing (I still use the Photoshop Elements Editor for more involved editing). Adobe has clearly decided not to invest sufficient resources for properly maintaining the Photoshop Elements Organizer– see my Amazon review of PSE 8. Lightroom is marketed to professionals and prosumers with tens of thousands of photos who demand adequate organizational capabilities, whereas Photoshop Elements is marketed to consumers, most of whom do not want or use the Organizer.
This page captures my answers to frequent questions about Photoshop Elements 6, 7, and 8 (Windows). It’s mostly about the Organizer, since I know the Organizer much better than the Editor.
The versions to which each FAQ applies are indicated with the notation [PSE 6, 7, 8]. If I’m not sure whether something applies to a version, it will be indicated with a question mark, e.g. [PSE 7, 8?].

Adobe Media Encoder CS5 Watch Folders

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I couldn't find an Adobe Media Encoder forum, and since we purchased After Effects to get Media Encoder I figured this might be a good place to start.
Basically, we have a dedicated computer set up with Adobe Media Encoder, and we set up several watch folders on a network drive. We have several files that must be several different codecs, so Media Encoder is really an awesome solution to this problem. However, the only problem we've been running into is sometimes Media Encoder doesn't actually watch a folder. For example, we have a "For web" folder and a "For VOD" folder. The for web folder has had absolutely no problems as far as watching and pulling in goes. The "For VOD" will sometimes not pick up files, but if media encoder is closed and then reopened, it picks up all of the files in that folder, but then again, will not pick up additional files in that folder.
The Media Encoder machine is running on Windows 7 (due to one of the codecs being Windows only), while all of the other machines in the department are macs. I have tested setting up the same system on one of our macs and we get the same problem. We are using an SMB network, but also have DAVE clients on all of our macs.
My initial theories are that it's either: A.) Something with the network, or B.) Something on the computer interupting the network connection. One of the IT guys briefly checked out the situation, changed around some network settings, and concluded that it must be an issue within Media Encoder itself.
Also, as a side note, I did check for updates with Adobe updater and everything is up to date.
Any ideas would be fantastic! And sorry if I'm leaving out crucial information in order to solve our situation, I'm not sure what all would be relevant, but just let me know what you would need!
Thank you!

Typically, Adobe apps do not work as well in a networked environment. You might try moving the watch folders to a local drive on the Win 7 machine and see if that makes any difference. If it does, there's your solution.

Distiller Watched Folders not working Acrobat 9.5.2, Mountain Lion.

I have just installed Acrobat 9.5.2 on a new Mac running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. Watched Folders don't work. When a .ps file is placed in the IN folder, it get processed by Distiller, but no PDF file is produced. The Distiller log window claims the PDF has been produced and placed in the Out folder, but it's not there. The .ps file is moved or deleted, depending on the setting.
PS files can be dropped onto Distiller in the normal way and PDF files are produced correctly, so it's not a problem with permissions. The problem persists in a new user account, so it's not a User pref issue.
Another Mac with the same setup works fine, so it's not a compatibility bug. I have seen only one other forum page with a similar issue, relating to Distiller 6, but it's not clear what the solution was.

Thanks for the thought. No, it's not permissions. As I say, Distiller can distill a file that is drag 'n' dropped on it from that location and it will save a PDF file to that folder.
The problem occurs even when the folders are within the user domain, where permissions should not be an issue. It also happens on folders that have full rwxrwxrwx attributes.
Watched folders work fine on another computer with the same setup, so it isn't any annoying sandboxing that is stopping everyone from doing anything -- as you say!

Hi SmittyMC,
Did you ever get to know the root cause of this??
I tried reinstalling the OS and it worked once. Now it repappered, and i dont think thats the best way to solve.
It will be really helpful if you know how you solved this problem.
Thanks

Where is the 'Watch Folders' option in PSE 9 Organizer for Mac?

I'm sure it's right in front of my face, but I can't find it. Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your replies. Bob, thanks to you especially for your candor. I use Adobe products for both photography and graphic design. I have been a loyal PSE user since PSE 4, but I use Photoshop (started out with CS2, now up to CS5) for all of my editing. I only use PSE for my digital asset management. The reason I need watched folders is that any new files I create in CS5 are not automatically added to my catalog in PSE. I switched to a Mac 3 years ago and wasn't happy with any of the alternatives, so I have been using PSE for Mac since version 9. However, over the years, I have found that I don't always remember to go back into the PSE catalog to import after working on something in CS5, so my catalog is always missing some files. I have found a watched folder plugin for Lightroom that seems to work pretty seamlessly in the background, but I found Lightroom not nearly as intuitive to use when I bought LR2 a few years back. Plus, facial recognition is a big feature for me, and LR4 still lacks that. I guess that, for Mac users, there's really no one solution that works as well as PSE does for Windows users.
I guess I'll have to continue my search...Thanks again for your replies!

Passing parameters to a workbench process invoked by watched folders

I am trying to pass values to a workbench process that is invoked by watched folders. What I need to be able to do is at least provide a path (string) to the process so that it knows where to store one of the result files. This value is not always the same and for reasons that I don't want to get into, I don't want to use an "output" variable to send it to the watched folder's "result" folder.
So, I had the idea of saving the value in a text file with a standard name (same for each call to the process) and my process would look for this file and import the file contents into a string variable. I wasn't able to do this.
#1 I haven't found a way to store the file content of an existing document variable into a string variable. Is this possible?
#2 I tried using the "Read String" service to read the contents from the file and store them into a string variable. Should be pretty straight forward, right? Turns out the process would just hang when trying to read the file into a string. I then tried changing the output variable from type 'string' to type 'document' and whammo, it worked. The variable logger showed the correct file contents. So it appears that "Read String" and "Read Document" do the exact same thing; read a file into a *document* variable! So now I'm stuck with issue #1 again...
Any suggestions? I have version 8.0.1 of LiveCycle installed.

Let's take a step back here.
The Read String activity will read the content of a file that contains strings into a STRING variable. In fact you need to provide a variable of type string for the output results.
I think the problem is that your trying to read XML content which is not treated as a string by LiveCycle.
If you want to read XML content then use the Read Document activity. It'll put the content of the XML in a document variable. Then you can use a SetValue and put the content of the document variable into a XML variable and use xPath to get to the value you need.
/process_data/myXML = /process_data/myDocument
You have to use a XML variable if you want to use xPath. xPath won't work on a string variable since the string content doesn't really have structure. You need a XML variable which gives you the structure.
If you really want to, you can convert the XML into a string (using the serialize xPath function) and have the XML treated as a string but I don't think that's what you're trying to do.

PSE 7 Watch Folders

I am evaluating PSE 7 functionality for purchase to replace Google's poorly functional Picasa (constant high CPU). In PSE 7, I have setup the Watch Folders (including subfolders), but the program isn't scanning/discovering anything. As a test, I copied a picture into the root of the Watch Folders, and after (literally) 10 minutes it finally discovered it and added it into an album.
If there is more action required other than simply enabling the Watch Folders, then please let me know. This is not a good first impression of Adobe software. May just need to stick with open source software if the product cannot be reliable.

The .CR's are from different models. XTi and T1i.
Have you downloaded and installed the most recent version of the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in? The T1i requires ACR 5.4, while PSE 7 ships with ACR 4.5. PSE gets squirrely if you try to work with raw files that aren't supported by the version of ACR you have installed.
See this tech note for detailed installation instructions:

Acrobat Distiller Watched Folders

I seem to be having an issue with watched folders and the .ps or .eps files I use. I create alot of ads, and use a watched folder to create the PDFs to send to clients. The PDF's always produce properly, and replace the old versionbut the .ps or .eps files never replace with the newest version.
I may have up to 20 revisions made on 1 ad, but the .ps or .eps file will always be the original and the PDF will be current. Is there any way to have the watched folder replace the .ps or .eps files with the newest version?
Thank You
Jamahl Umar
Adobe CS2, PowerMac G5, Mac OS 10.4.11

Thank you for the response. I understand that you can have Distiller delete the eps or ps after processing, but that is not my problem.The problem I have is that I may modify the eps file multiple times, and Distiller will make the eps into a PDF and the old PDF in the watched folder will be replaced, but not the EPS. I want to have both EPS and PDF be the current file and not a current PDF and an EPS from 18 versions ago. Does that make sense? I appreciate any and all help.
Thank You

PSE9 - Watch Folders in multiple catalogs - new files not detected

I run PSE9 and have 2 catalogs (both in a "Custom Location"), one with photos and one with pdf documents.
I have set up "Watch Folders" in each catalog, but I never get any notification about new files.
Service "AdobeActiveFileMonitor9.0" is running - with Local System Account.
Are there any logs to check?
Does watch folders rely on the archive attribute of files?
Does it matter which catalog I have open?

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
PSE9 Organizer: on wakeup after system sleep it does not recognize external disks
I tried this on my Win 7 machine with a USB device but it worked fine for me... Which OS are you on ?
Also, can you verify if the issue with the watched folder service is persistent if you don't restart the file monitor service each day? Or is it resolved after restarting the service once ?

Watch folders stopped working in Elements 8 Organizer

Please can anyone help?
I upgraded to Elements 8 some time ago and have been successfully using the watch folders service for several months to quickly add my edited photos to organizer. The watch folders has suddenly stopped working. I have read through many forum posts on the subject, but nothing seems to get it back. Adobe Active File Monitor is set to automatic and is started (I've actually tried re-starting it but still didn't work). In Organizer the watch folder is set to the folder and sub-folders I want to import from - same as always. I've tried removing the folder and adding it again.
Not only this, but the alternative, checking the box to add to Organizer when saving my files also doesn't work properly, it only imports the first of a batch of edited pictures. When I go to get media from folder, Organizer tells me the files are already there, which they are, but I can only see them if I close and re-open the organizer.
Can anyone offer suggestions why things have suddenly gone wrong. Nothing on my compuer has changed. I'm using Vista Home Premium. I'm really really trying to avoid having to re-install elements.

I could have sworn that was the correct shortcut. Here are instructions for navigating to the Organizer's preference file along with some other info that might be helpful.
Step #3 in this document tells where to navigate to that preference file.

How do I create and activate watched folders in Acrobat Pro XI?

Our court reporting firm scans large amounts of client exhibits and would love to set up watched folders to convert images to text files. I know that former versions of Acrobat had separate versions of distiller. What's the story in Pro XI. What is the recommended way to set up watched folders, if there is one?

As with previous versions Acrobat XI comes with Distiller. As with the previous version the use features of Distiller are the same.
Do note that Distiller only accepts *.PS files as input for creation of PDF.
All scanners initial output is an image file fromat (not *.ps). Other applications take the JPEG, TIFF, etc and process the image into other file formats (e.g., PDF).
Be well...

Watched folders aren't watched!

I have a main folder (and sub-folders) for my images selected but even though I know new images have been added to the folder PSE does not load them. I can get them by using Get .. from files and folders, but why doesn't PSE actually watch the folders?
Does PSE have to be running when photos are added? Shouldn't it inspect Watched Folders when launched and add photos that weren't there the last time it ran?

OK, it’s much the same in PSE6 except the watch folder should have an eye icon.
You can right click on your custom location folder in the left hand panel and then choose Add To watch Folders.
You can also right click on individual sub folders and choose Add Unmanaged Files to catalog.

[JS] InDesign Watched Folders? waiting for some new document

Hi Everyone
I wrote a script [JS][InD] which checks folders in search of any files and then process them. It mades PDF files and moves original files to a "processed" folder.
Now I want this script to run in the background by certain periods of time (i.e. 10 seconds) without user interaction. Just like the "Watched folders" function on Acrobat Distiller.
Has anybody some suggestion or solution for this?
Thank you for your help
Daniel

Hi,
It's funny because I tried just right now on my own. As I was looking for help on that topic and then I saw your post :-)
The bad news is that I failed to reach that objective. My thought was to use the startup script folder placing a script that will wait for an amount of time and then check for a folder for specific files.
Alas, it seems that the "waiting" process overides Indesign and then the user can't use its software :-(
I hope someones here as a solution.
Bye Loic
