Read the Photoshop document information outside the app

I was banging my head against the wall over this for the last few hours, and I can't come to a graceful solution on how best to treat it. I am currently working on a .NET project, and it would be really nice to have a way to read all the information of a file Photoshop document without having to actually open the document (because of the processor) in Photoshop. I hope that the information in document include size, profile, version PS and at least the color mode. Based on this information, I have one of several hot issues that I would then send the file to.

I found a way to do it using a StreamReader and if you are looking for a specific string is (ex: "< photoshop:ColorMode > 4 < / photoshop:ColorMode >"), but I found tag name variances in the different versions that made it a little bit reliable. Does anyone know of a better way to do it?

If the information you want is in XMP, you and use and XMP SDK to get the information. Adobe has a. Other people have one.

Or, you can read about the XMP specs to figure out how XMP is incorporated in the docs and read the XMP directly in files and the deal

with the XMP directly as XMP. This is not necessarily a good thing to do because XMP is not always in canonical form, then I recommend and SDK.

Your other alternative is to use exiftool at the API level. Then you have access to XMP and exif data, that you could ever want.

  • Cannot open the document on Illustrator but adobe reader and photoshop open, why?

    Impossible to open the document in Illustrator, but adobe reader and photoshop it opens, there is a problem with the font Futura T-"BOLD". How to open it on Illustrator?

    I downloaded the file and:

    1. It is not a Photoshop PDF.
    2. I get the same result, try to open in Illustrator; mutilated font substitution. It's because I don't have one or more of the correct fonts used in the document on my computer, and I suspect the same is true of yours.
    3. The fact that it opens without problem in the player and Photoshop is meaningless, to essentally (or at least, it is not an inidication that should also be open without problem in Illustrator, which is what seems to imply your original message). Player displays the correct fonts as subsets of them are embedded in the PDF file for use by the reader. Photohop just rasterized the entire page, so there is no data required police.
    4. If you had the font, you would get the substitution in Illustrator. It works that way for any PDF.

    How to do this.

    What version of Windows you want to transfer is irrelevant. What
    you need to do is just transfer to another computer.

    There are several approaches to do this. What is the best for you
    based primarily on the amount of data you transfer. Here are a few
    choice:

    1. transfer on diskettes.
    2. transfer to CDR or DVD.
    3. by email from the old machine, and read e-mail on the new
    one.
    4. the two computers on the network and simply copy the files on the
    network.
    5. temporarily (or permanently) install the old computer's hard
    drive in the new computer and just copy the top.

  • No artist and music information of the Album in the App after update 6 Android on M4Aqua

    Hello community.

    I updated my Xperia M4Aqua a few days earlier of 5 Android to Android 6.

    The update worked fine. But since then, I can't find the information of the artist or the album in-app music. Instead, it shows just an empty space.

    Strangely, the title and the genre of music is displayed correctly.

    During playback of a track, the app run correct title, but also shows "unknown artist" and "unknown album".

    I deleted the cache and data local to the application, but nothing has changed. Then I downloaded the VLC Player on play store. Fortunately he read the files correctly, so that the information is still in the files. Just the music app is not showing them.

    Can anyone help? I really like to use the music app Sony again, because I love her and I am used and the VLC player crashes from time to time.

    Thank you, and in many ways,

    Paul

  • ON the app, how can I download the documents on the cloud for my iPad

    ON the app, how can I download the documents on the cloud for my iPad

    Hi secora47267766 ,

    In Acrobat Reader mobile App there is no option to download the PDF file of the cloud of the document on your device.

    However you can do this online via a web browser.

    Open this link https://cloud.acrobat.com/recent on iPad in the web browser, sign in using your Adobe ID & Document Cloud tab see you all the files downloaded, select it & download it to your device.

    Eventually you will be able to see the file downloaded in Acrobat Reader App mobile on the Local tab.

  • I don't want documents saved on the app [Android]

    In our company we have used the "Adobe Reader" app on android tablets. It works with our ERP and we generate a PDF through the app. The document, once sent by mail should be eliminated from the app. Instead, each unique document is saved on the app. How can I cancel this function? It's very urgent because are very confidential files and can't stay on the app.

    The documents may not be recorded on the app. Only a link to the doc must appear in the recent tabs and the Document Cloud in the selector position. The document is in fact the clouds of Document.

    If something different happens for you, after return.

    HTH,

  • I get the error "could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document."

    I get the error "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document" on a file that I was working with happiness last night. I use the last subscription to PShop on Mac. Any ideas. I had a glance through the forum but have not found a specific help. I tried to restart, when you rename the file, copy the file. TIA

    The most common cause is when people save file type, but type the extension to a different file type (like JPEG recording, but typing.) (PSD).  Photoshop will try to obey the file extension, but the extension does not match the contents of the file, so the file cannot be read.

  • If I put a restriction of password which only allow customers who purchase print it (no copy or modification of the document) have an impact on the quality of the file when people open and read the file on mobile devices like phones and tablets?

    If I put a restriction of password that only allow users who buy to print it (no copies or the modification of the document allowed)-it will have no effect on the quality of the file when people open and read the file on mobile devices like phones and tablets?

    Some mobile devices won't be able to open it at all, but if it is open, the quality is not affected.  Please note and understand the warning you get when you set security: indeed, it is largely ignored by many apps.

    I tried to understand, looking at this forum and another search on Google, why LR4 import tracklogs from the iPhone App GPS tracks.

    Steve,

    The problem with the tracklog is the '+' in the specifications of the latitude. Remove the brands '+' the legible tracklog. Now, I'm not sure if a '+' is valid or not (http://developer.garmin.com/schemas/gpx/1.0/oxygen/index.html_h882410155.html), but for this time Jeffrey Geoencoding Plugin will not read the tracklog...

  • How to stop the monitor go black after no activity for a short time during the reading of a document?

    When I read an email or document without moving my mouse, the screen turns black after only about a minute and then proceeds to my screensaver.  I have to move the mouse constantly opening my active window.  I can't find out how to disable this "Energy Saving" so I can read the lengthy articles without being interrupted every other minute.  This was VERY irritating!

    Hello

    Open windows control panel, open personalization, click on the link to screensaver at the bottom right and in the next window, set the time in the area of 'Wait' for once you want before the screen saver appears, and click on apply. Or if you never get the logon screen, remove the check mark next to of "on resume, display the login page»  Click on apply to save the changes.

    Then open windows control panel again and click on Power Options, click Change plan settings next to your current power plan selected in the next window, set the time using the drop-down list next to "Turn wide Display" to a more acceptable level and then click on save changes.

    Note:  Set in the Options menu of food to be slightly longer than the time set in the Menu of the screen saver or you will never see your screen saver start.

  • How can I contact Apple on their impression of being too light and too small for me to read on the App Store?

    Dear Apple Inc.:

    Could Apple or someone please re - write, or send me this Web page on Apple Apps again in a larger type darker so I can read it?  I wrote my full address, e-mail address, telephone number and hours when I'm usually home at the bottom of a page and tried to send it to Apple, but don't really know where to send it as apple.com/feedback/ doesn't seem to work.  I'm an old doctor with a vision 20/20 to the left eye and vision of 20/40 in the right eye.  I bought Apple hardware and software for an amount over $30 000,00 since I started in 1986, and possessed a large number of shares of Apple since 1984.  Many of the biggest private to Apple hardware and software purchases comes from older people like me.  There is no reason that Apple cannot leave us the possibility to make the type larger and darker.

    There are millions of us who need larger type darker than updates and others on the App Store.

    Option/⌘ + / = (is Option/command/Equals if not print) won't the darker type.  Although it gets bigger, it causes aliasing (anti-aliasing).
