Workflow with images,file names and full captions.

I am working on my mother's memoirs, which will include a block of photo pages. Those pages will be laid out by a friend. I would like to use a contct sheet of some kind as a reference to what is to be included with what caption but am discovering just how difficult PE8 Organizer is to work with.
First I tried the obvious print contact sheet and discoverd that captions are truncated if they run wider than the image itself.
Secondly I tried a photo book and found that large images do not automatically resize to fit the picture placeholders. Seemed to pick up full caption but I have too many pictures to manually fit.
Third I tried a web page output but then captions can't be copy and pasted for inclusion into group caption panels!
Then it occurred to me that even just a list of file names and captions would be sufficient ... but even that is too much for an Adobe catalog to give up!
All I want is a reference to images and captions, ideally grouped 4 at a time per page as they will be shown in those picture pages.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.

I can see two ways to do what you want.
The first one is to divide you workflow in two steps. Install the free software FastStone image resizer, which can do a batch to resize and put your caption where you want. Batch process the files in a new folder while renaming them with something like 'old name'+ 'resized'. This is to avoid duplicate names. Import them into the organizer. Create an album with all those files, and put them in the correct printing order. Select all and export 'as new files' renaming them with 'common base name', in original format. That should keep the custom order of your project.
There are also batch renaming and resizing with the affordable Elements+ add-on, but I suppose the first solution will be easier.

Save As with suggested file name and folder

I would like the user to be able to press a save button on the pdf and the "Save As dialogue box" pops up pre-populated with a file name and location choosen. The user can then choose to name the file something otherwise or select a new location. I would just like to save them the steps of copying the field data and finding the correct folder (deeply buried on server) however to place the finished document in.
This doesn't seem to require a trusted function, but how do I suggest the file name based on a field name in the document. And how do I suggest the folder the document should be saved into?
Thanks in adavance.

Hi,
you need a folder level script to use the browseForDoc method.

Adding image file name and logo to image

Can you do batch processing of images to automatically insert the image file name, say at the bottom along with a logo, in black font. The logo stays constant but the image deatils will change with each image?
Can this be done in Lightroom or then the full Photoshop?
Thanks!

I've taken the script mentioned above and modified it to the best of my abilities. Still getting the same error, unfortunately:
function main(){
var suffix ="cropped";
var docPath =Folder("~/Desktop");
if(!docPath.exists){
   alert(docPath + " does not exist!\n Please create it!");
   return;
var fileName =activeDocument.name.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1];
var fileExt =activeDocument.name.toLowerCase().match(/[^\.]+$/).toString();
var saveFile = new File(docPath +"/"+fileName+suffix+'.'+fileExt);
switch (fileExt){
   case 'jpeg' : SaveJPEG(saveFile); break;
   default : alert("Unknown filetype please use manual save!"); break;
if(documents.length) main();
function SaveJPEG(saveFile, jpegQuality){
jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
jpgSaveOptions.quality = jpegQuality; //1-12
activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, jpgSaveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE);

IDoc to File with different file name and data based on the IDoc header dat

Hi,
I got a requirement to implement IDOC to file senario. In this the Converted file should have the file name and file content based on IDoc Header data. Means If one of the IDoc header field value is
'A' - then the file name recieved by reciever system should be 'A.txt' and with the columns A B C D F.
'B' - then the file name recieved by reciever system should be 'B.txt' and with the columns C D F.
In both the case IDoc message type is same.
Please suggest me what i need to do to achieve this.
Thanks in Advance. ...
Regards
Sri

Hi,
As per my requirement, we need to create one file for each IDoc based on IDoc header data. SAP program generates 10 IDocs for each run. All 10 IDoc's message type is same. Each IDoc has one header record with the file name. Base on the name in the IDoc header record, file needs to be created with different columns and file name. Means..
IDoc 01- Header Description contains 'A' - than file will be generated should have name as 'A.txt' and columns 'parent' 'child' 'descripion'.
IDoc 02- Header Description contains 'B' - than file will be generated should have name as 'B.txt' and columns 'Name' 'Department' 'Description'.
IDoc 10- Header Description contains 'J' - than file will be generated should have name as 'J.txt' and columns 'Order No' 'Materail' 'Description'.
Hope this will give more clarity on my requirement. Please let me if you are still not clear on requirement.
Thanks for your all help..
Thanks & Regards

Help with image file names when using Import Word document feature

Hello,
I am using File >> Import >> Word document into an HTML template. If the Word document contains images, the images are written to the directory specified in my Site Default Image Folder. Here is my question: As I was teaching myself the Import function, one time the images were automatically named to match the page name. So for example, if my page is named Create.html, the images would be named Create_image001.jpg, Create_image002.jpg, etc. I can't remember how I enabled this feature (or maybe I was dreaming) but if anyone knows how to control the name of the images imported from MS Word, please let me know. I've searched and Googled for hours and can't find a way to control the image file names.
Thanks in advance,
Shellie

I was hoping that this would be fixed in the 10.8.2 upgrade but it has not. Anyone have any luck? Earlier today I was trying to write a paper and navigating between 10 pdfs was a nightmare without being able to hover my mouse for the titles like I used to.

Display images with same file name and different file types.

I want to write a method, which receives file names (image1, image2, image3) but without the extension. This method will handle most of the image types (.jsp, .png, and ...) , what is the best way to write the method? Should I loop through all the image types for a given file name? I really don't want to do that...

..I really don't want to do that...Why not?
As an aside, this entire task sound suspicious. Why on earth would you need such a method?

Printing my PDF with File name and Tags Stamped on

To Forum,
Possibly not a completely Apple related query, but if anyone know it would be great.
id like to print a PDF on my MBP with the File name and Tags applied to it stamped on the paper copy... or come to think of it, stamped on the PDF copy which i then print out with those stamps on. Either way will do. Any ideas? Its not immediately obvious when i look at the Printing Prefs box.

This is an option built into various apps - Safari, Firefox, Microsoft Office.
There are "PDF Utils" that do this on PDFs one at a time. Can't find a specific one for Macs, but found 2 for Windows.

Our installer names don't make it easy for the new user, or the seasoned veteran for that matter. Although both those installers have 2008 in the name, they are for entirely different products.

How to get uploaded file name and path in BefExportToDat event script

I would like to get hold of the uploaded file name and full path in the event script "BefExportToDat", as I need to extract values from particular fields. However I have not yet found a way to do this.
- The input variable "strFile" returns the .Dat file path in the Outbox, to which it is about to export the data. This is no use to me.
- The API variable RES.PstrFilename is returning nothing
I am using RES.PstrFilename in the "BefFileImport" event script in a different FDM application and it works fine, however I need to find a way to get this to work in the "BefExportToDat" event script.
Please let me know how this might be achieved.

I am looking through the API calls in FDM Workbench, but cannot see the table (tPOVPartitions) you mentioned listed. Is this the correct name? And do I just use the function listed in the object browser to run the query?
Furthermore (going back to my initial thoughts of using strFile), it appears that although the variable contains the .Dat filename and path, the actual file is non-existent when "BefExportToDat" is executed:
Error:
Error: Export failed.
Detail: File not found.
This would make sense, but it does make the variable "strFile" a little pointless since one cannot make use of the file in this particular event script. Do you please have any thoughts on this?

When importing photos with iBooks Gallery widget, is anyone aware of a technique for simultaneously importing the photo's description (or jpeg file name) and writing it into the iBook Author caption field for the imported photo?

When importing photos with the iBooks Author Gallery widget, is anyone aware of a technique for simultaneously importing the photo's description (or jpeg file name) and writing it into the iBook Author caption field for the corresponding imported photo? I have 4,800 stills to import and can't imagine it's necessary to copy and paste the description for each.

As always, feel free to use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item for features you'd like added in the future, etc.

Truly dumb question. How do I get PS to actually complete a command, eg straighten an horizon, and finalise the change. Even doing a "save as" with a new file name and reloading brings the image back, straightened, but with the skewed back ground frame st

Truly dumb question. How do I get PS to actually complete a command, eg straighten an horizon, and finalise the change. Even doing a "save as" with a new file name and reloading brings the image back, straightened, but with the skewed back ground frame still there. Is there a "apply change" or similiar command that I simply cannot see.

brings the image back, straightened, but with the skewed back ground frame
PSE did what you told it to do. Choose the Straighten and crop edges or fill edges options when you use the straighten tool if you want it to do more than just straighten the contents of the image. Many people prefer the plain straighten because they'd rather crop themselves than let PSE do it.

I just order 8 calendars from iPhoto and they came to me fine. Now I need to order two more but when I go thru the process I get a message saying:unable to assemble calendar. There is a probleme with the photo with the file name"(Null)" more........ .

Would someone be able to explain to me the following issue with Iphoto?
I ordered 8 same calendars for my soccer team and received them fine. Although a couple of pictures on it are a little off (out of focus). I need to order two more of the same calendars but when I go thru the process ireceive an error message saying:
"Unable to to assemble calendar" There is a problem with the photo with the file name "(Null)" The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your calendar.
How can I fine this "corrupt" photo? How did it go thru with the first batch of calendars but won't go thru now?
Thank you for your help.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How can I view information about an image, such as the file name and exposure, on the Ipad?

how can I view information about an image, such as the file name and exposure, on the Ipad?

You can't with the built-in Photos app, but there are apps such as iPhoto which allow you to see the exposure details (aperture, shutter speed, focal length, ISO). PhotoMeta also shows you that info

Iphone contacts "not available" to car phonebook after messing around with Outlook.pst file names and backups. Iphone4 connects to car though and other phones connect properly.

iphone contacts "not available" to car phonebook after messing around with Outlook.pst files, names and backups, on my ms XP 2003 laptop. I substituted a much smaller new Personal Folder -Contacts File, with a smaller list of phone numbers (4 only as a test) which successfully synced to the iPhone 4. The iPhone connects to the Skoda Octavia HandsFreeSystem OK (Bluetooth works fine), but now iPhone wont load the new Contacts as it did originally. However a family Nokia (never messed with) can connect properly. So must be the iPhone or more likely an Outlook.pst \ Contacts problem. Ideas?

After fiddling a little more, the following fixed my corrupted outlook.pst file:
1) I made a backup
2) In outlook under file, I exported the calendar to excel
3) In outlook under file, I imported the calendar back to outlook
And voila, it worked.
