Batch processing hundreds of Illustrator files?

Hello

Our software has thousands of icons all created in Illustrator and we need batch export all icons of hundreds of .ai files. I'm curious to know what are the solutions other people have developed?

Here's a list of what we are trying to do:

  • Ability to be called from the command line
  • Ability to pass in what files process
  • Ability to run scripts in the House on the loaded file
  • Ability to spend in the folder target to place the generated files
  • Ability to close Illustrator when we finished

I'd like to hear if any other developers have faced this problem, and how they have solved. I imagine that other developers have faced this problem?

See you soon,.

  • Batch processing of multiple image files?

    Hello

    I want to apply an effect that is available in a plugin PS for a sequence of images, which is then converted into a video.

    Once I have the first image as I want, how I have lots the rest... ?

    See you soon!

    In PS, I would create an Action so that the first image (the first image in your sequence). Then go to automate > batch (exact syntax will differ from the version of PS), point to the Source folder, set the Destination folder, verify that the Action appears and then simply press OK. According to effects/filters/Styles, the number of images, and the speed of your system, you need get a cup of coffee, or he could go so fast, that you spend only an anticipation of the moment.

    I do 100 images with scale, Mode change and can treat ~ 300 Photoshop PSD in moments - no time for coffee!

    Once completed, simply import your sequence of images into the Destination folder. Never leave, never PS crush the originals with a backup in the same folder.

    Good luck

  • Batch processing with an Action

    Hi all

    I created an Action in Photoshop CS5.  I saved this action in a .atn file, then I loaded in the CORRECT for PES 10 directory.

    Once in PSE, I can go to the stock and I can see and use correctly said Action.  So I know it works.

    My question/problem: is it possible to batch processing using 'Treat multiple files' or something else using this Action?  I know there's the CS5 option is there and it is quite simple, however, I do not see this option anywhere in the PSE.

    I hope I'm missing something or there is just something I do not know.

    I appreciate any assistance.  Thanks in advance.

    You need to open the BatchWin, atn file located in (this is for win 7 and vista x 64) in cs5 (this are just actions that uses of elements to treat multiple files)

    (do not forget to put a copy of the original file somewhere in case you need it)

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Photoshop elements 10\Locales\en_US\Support Files

    Then add the steps in your action to the list, without any opening in the action and you will need to add the record at the end of the action (the format you want to save the files in).

    Then, save the game and put it in the folder of media files.

    added action example:

  • Define Batch Processing out to 1200px/inch (PDF to TIF FORMAT)

    I created a batch process that margins top and bottom of my cultures pdf documents, and then records them as TIF files in a new directory. PDF files are 1200 pixels/inch to start but when I opened the new fit they are only 300px/inch. Is it possible to change the parameters of the batch process? Any configuration file, I can go in and edit the text for the output tif be 1200res?

    Thank you!

    (Or, and it's more a question of PS - how is my photoshop cs4 droplet cannot process PDF files?) It opens up to them, but then gripe, convert, save, etc them?)

    In the Acrobat preferences, you can specify the resolution for conversion.

  • Batch processing to reduce the size of the file

    I have a 1 terabyte of PDF files created by others.

    Apparently, they did not use Adobe products. I have to reduce the size of the file.

    If I open these files and then save to the format PDF. I can then use menu file size reduction to reduce the file size to about 1/4.

    However, I have 44 000 files.

    most multi-page

    No matter what welcome toughts.

    You could try the batch process in Acrobat. You're asking a lot, but it could be something that that can handle the batch of Acrobat.

  • Batch processing dialog box USE information

    I need to customize the model of batch processing with CVI. Need to add 2 for example several channels of serial number of the batch on top, remove the status message, bottom of socket - don't show the Seraglio etc number box. It looks like the files that I need to change are batchuutdlg.c and modelpanels.uir.

    Found that the source code is under "Instruments\TestStand National 4.1\Components\Models\TestStandModels." What are the best practices to make the change to the regulations provided the code? Also what files will be needed, if all the updated code will be then be in the same directory?

    Please notify.

    It depends on what version of TestStand you have.  Back in the day (I think that pre 4.0) there to be users and the folder OR in each of the folders TestStand. You had to copy into the users folder and make changes there.

    Nowadays (certainly with 4.5, but not sure about 4.1 knowledge is true for 4.1.1), you would put any change to the public folder.  If you go to: C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments\ you will see a link to something called the TestStand Public folder.  This file should be structured like the file.  The same and all directories.  When you change the native code copy you on public directories and this way you always have native original code if you need to go back.  In addition, it handles situations where you might not be an administrator on a computer - you cannot edit files in Program Files.

    If you look in the search directories in TestStand, you will see that it refers to the Public folder first, then the Aboriginal file.  In this way that it captures your code always updated first.  So if you were to spend the SequentialModel.seq in the public folder your way would look like this: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\National Instruments\\Components\Models\TestStandModels\SequentialModel.seq (for XP).  But you would still have the (unchanged) SequentialModel.seq on in the Aboriginal file.  When a sequence file loads and will enter the process model, he looks first in the public record and captured this process template.

    In your case, it would be one of the files you mentioned.  Well I think that you would like to move all of the CVI code above, so it can stay with the prj.

    When you go to deploy on the first tab, there's a checkbox called: deploy files to the directory Public TestStand.  If all of your customizations will now be included in the deployment.  It will put their new in the public folder on the deployment computer and the search directories should be similar, so you would be good to go.

    Hope this helps,

    any help is really appreciated

    Hi all

    I finally understood what happened. The installation of PGP directory is located in/usr/local /. So we moved the installation from this location PS_HOME location and he started to work very well.

    so our installation location current symantec pgp is pgp/PS_HOME /.

    Another point to note was if we are trying to encrypt or decrypt using PeopleSoft PSExec() and these files are under/usr directory structure order Symantec PGP fails to do. the same command works fine through command line, but not through PSExec(). Indeed, the user has full access, but even he couldn't do anything. . But if we use our own custom directories the file gets encrypted and decrypted as you wish.

    Hope these little things help.

  • Remix as a batch process

    Hello!

    Is this to my colleagues here present or developers know how to use the remix as a batch process feature. I need to shorten over 100 songs. I wanted to do this at the same time. Any advice?

    I don't think you can use Remix in a batch process, since it applies only to the Clips in the multitrack. It is non-destructive and can be undone and redone. No real audio files are saved until you doing a mix or export from multitrack view...

    The plugin Image Processor Pro script is more powerful.  It may even be in steps of actions. The setting that you use in the dialog box save the scripts > PLC > Image Processor pro... step will be recorded in the action by the plugin script step.  When you play the Image Processor Pro script action will work around poster its dialog box and use the setting saved in step, unless you put on the dialog box in the action stage.  I have a single action has a length of Image Processor Pro.  This same test of the Image Processor Pro script save 9 jpeg files for each file processed image ration cropped and sized for the different aspects and dimensions of the screen I.

  • PS CS4 - how to perform batch processing which includes 'save' step and saves all the layers in PSD?

    I created an Action in PS CS4 to apply NIK Color Efex Pro4 to a JPG image, adjust the opacity of the layer CEP4 to 50% and then file > save as to a file in PSD format in order to keep the CEP4 and background layers in PSD format.  It worked well with the image that I was working in the creation of the Action - reopening of the PSD file, it showed the two layers as I wanted.

    But when I opened then four other JPG images, went to file > automate > Batch and applied this new Action to all open files, recording in the same folder as the original image, when I created the Action, all the PSD files created by the process of batch contain only one layer (Layer 0).  How can I me Batch process and always the CEP4 and the background of the layers in the PSD file?

    I swear it worked in the past, but I must be missing something.

    Thanks in advance for any help offered.

    See if implementing during a stage of duplicate layer in the dispute before the color efex pro stage of the work.

  • Can I use Organizer to change the size of .jpg of all photos in a folder in a batch process?

    We use wa-a-ay too much disk space for a growing collection of photography.   My daughter is a monster of a camera with four children - have to - I say more?


    In my current test file, the size of the original photos range from 2.3 MB to 4.2 MB.  I took a picture at random and printed original and then three more, saved by PSE9 as .jpg files with quality average, maximum and minimum settings on regular letter-size paper and still on paper photo 4 x 6.  It takes a magnifying glass and a kneecap calibrated to detect a difference on paper, and it is even more difficult on photo paper.  I think that I should take the pressure off the hard drive capacity of all reduce to a more reasonable size; After all, minimum quality printing takes less than 1% of the space like the print quality.


    I have the feeling that I can accomplish this in a batch process with the Organizer, but that's all I've got is the intuition - not the know-how.   I would like someone to make me scroll through the process.


    Also, I expect a lecture on why I shouldn't do this.  Go ahead; I will listen.


    Thanks, Bud

    You are the only one to judge... You won't regret it if you want to use photos with the size and the original resolution at a later date?

    Yes, you can use the organizer or the command 'treat multiple files' Editor. But first, you should think about two questions:

    -Are you ready to save full resolution and size files before the "shrinkage"? External USB drives with large capacities are available and affordable.

    -What you say, the optimum size would be for files resized to size 4 "x 6" at 300 DPI in 8 to 10 jpeg quality.

    Resizing the Editor: use the command 'treat multiple files' and click on the button "Same as source". I do it without a backup of first sound... This can be done per-folder.

    Resizing of the Organizer: use the 'Export' command This command leaves the original and puts the files in a new folder. The resulting files are NOT included in the catalogue. This means that the maintenance of your organization (albums, categories, tags,...) will be difficult. even if you use a file management system.

    Another solution with third party software such as Faststone photo resizer:

    -Absolutely do a full backup before

    -Run the resizing of the external software options so that files are resized without being moved. Replacing the originals.

    -If you use the Organizer, your organization will be preserved, but the size of the files in the catalog databases and the thumbnail will be wrong. You can recreate the thumbnail cache by deleting the thumbs.5.cache file in your catalog folder. It will be rebuilt automatically.

    That worked for me in the past... no warranty for you!

  • How can I stop my enthusiasm of units opening in illustrator files

    When I open Illustrator files that were sent to me they sometimes open with the units of measure, changed "mm" 'cm' or even 'in', not a huge problem but when I have 10 files for a job that all do the same thing its an extra bit of messing around I could do without.

    They can be any kind of file .ai .eps .fs .pdf etc, when I go into my preference to restore, it shows that it is set to "mm" already? I can change it to 'mm' once again, but I have to go Edit - preferences - units - change to read "cm" - OK, then repeat the process of Edit - Preferences - units - change to read "mm" and makes.
