Anyone with any thoughts?
Dispite having told everyone to avoid
using multi-page PDF files they are still coming to me every day saying
that they have had this error, after dropping a multi-page PDF onto the
droplet. <sigh>
All suggestions greatfully received!

Hi all,
Can someone help me to resolve a glitch
in my Photoshop Action script?
Below is a working exerpt of the bit
that is playing up.
The issue appears when a user drops
a multi-page PDF onto the droplet. If they drop a single page PDF the filename
in Photoshop ("Dog.pdf") is the same as the name of the file
dropped onto it ("Dog.pdf") and all works as expected. However,
when a multi-page PDF is dropped onto it, the name in the Photoshop file
appears with a 1 at the end (presumably Pg1 - "Dog1.pdf"). The
script is erroring on the red
line below, where it is not finding the right file name.
Here's the important bit of the Event
Log entry:
....
activate
document "Dog.pdf"
"Adobe
Photoshop CS got an error: File/Folder expected"
The opened Photoshop file is named "Dog1.pdf"
Thinking forward, I wouldn't mind it
giving the user more control over opening multi-page PDFs, even showing
Photoshop's "PDF Page Selector" dialog if possible where the
user can choose the pg to rasterise. The naming issue would then have to
be resolved.
For most accounts the first page is
the one they will most likely need to open.
Here's the code:
on
open (filelist)
repeat
with
aFile in
filelist
DoAllThis(aFile)
end
repeat
end
open
--DO PHOTOSHOP STUFF
on
DoAllThis(aFile)
display
dialog "Opening file into Photoshop. Please wait." buttons {"OK"}
default button 1 giving up after 3
tell
application "Finder"
set
fileName to
name of
aFile
set
nameExt to
name extension of
aFile --> "pdf" or "psd", etc
end
tell
tell
application "Adobe Photoshop CS"
activate
-- open the file appropriately
if
nameExt is
in
{"eps", "pdf"} then
open aFile
with options {class:PDF open options, mode:CMYK, resolution:300}
else
open aFile
end
if
tell
document fileName
activate
do action
"RUN ALL" from "FHE DVD Slick Packshots.atn"
end
tell
end
tell
end
DoAllThis
Your help is most appreciated!
Regards,
Cojcolds
