I travel a lot and like to post images across sites, and for clients when required. My usual process is that raw images are edited and saved as JPGs in a subfolder and I put these within the original date folder.
When I return home, I export these relevant date folders as a catalogue (where I make sure to include the JPG subfolders) and then import them to my desktop. These tend to get grouped together (not ideal) and then my JPG images no longer appear after this. It's very confusing as this is the only format I use at this stage in the process. Anything afterwards I dabble in PNG, SVG or WebP. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
If your aim is to generate PDFs with your photos sorted by date, Acrobat is not the best choice. You should generate them with Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Bridge.
Sorry for the delay Bernd, as you can see I don't log in to this so much! So the issue I'm having with Adobe Acrobat (and still having as I never actually sorted this problem) is that I can't for the life of me get the dates to sort themself out. When I run them through Adobe Acrobat it gets even more muddled and I enjoy using it, but having the dates in the correct order is a must have, as I have the aim of uploading them to a website afterwards where dates also feature (not sure if this may change things at all but just adding as much info as pos!) Thanks.
Ok thank you for the tip JR Boulay, I wonder if I add more detail for exactly what I am doing if then you can direct me how best to do this with Adobe Lightroom/ Bridge. To start off, I have taken a number of images and wish to add them to my travel site (I am linking incase there are any nuances, but it is on Wordpress and has accepted all image formats before with no problem - JPG, PNG, WEBP etc). When the images go through Acrobat, the dates become all out of order. If I run them through Lightroom or Bridge, will this not happen and the dates remain intact. Is there possibly some metadata differences between the 3 programs? Or alternatively metadata which can be read on a wordrpress site? Thanks!
I only want to export a handful - and the ones which I need I am using specifically to create a guide for my Bolivia backpacking itinerary. Like I mention above, I am having trouble with the dates. As well as the article which I have linked, I am creating a downloadable guide of the same things I have mentioned in the article. This will be similar to an infographic and available on the website, but also downloadable too. When I try to add this to the Wordpress site I think a plugin I use is reliant on metadata (specifically date related) and messes up the order of the images. This all comes back to them being run through Acrobat at the beginning of the process basically. Hope this makes sense and I appreciate your help! Hoping this is now a bit clearer!
I still don't understand what Acrobat has to do with processing a series of images for the web. But I understand that this process makes you do the work twice, so maybe you should just feed your website and let users who want a PDF generate it with this (free) plugin for Wordpress. I use it for my site and find it irreplaceable: https://www.printfriendly.com/wordpress-plugin
