Dear Friends

I need batch processer for the CTLP to Tiff conversion Script. I got one script from the Esko but is working in individual images but I want to create a bunch of CTLP image in one folder. It needs to convert.

Below script for your reference.

  8. inputs = ["~/Desktop/ctlp/Bear_Transparency_CT.ct"]  
  9. outputFolder = "~/Desktop"  
  10.   
  11. for (i=0;i<inputs.length;i++)  
  12. {  
  13.     var fileRef = new File(inputs);  
  14.     openctlp(fileRef);  
  15.     docRef = app.activeDocument;  
  16.   
  17.     outputFile = new File(outputFolder + "/"+ fileRef.name);

  20.     TiffSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;  
  21.     docRef.saveAs(outputFile, TiffSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);  
  22.     docRef.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);  
  23. }  
  24.   
  25. function openctlp()  
  26. {

  40.     desc35.putObject( idAs, idEskoEskoCTLPFormat, desc36 );  
  41. executeAction( idOpn, desc35, DialogModes.NO );  
  42. } 

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

Although I have updated the code shared by so that you can run this process for all files in the selected folder. Above script process only one file because it has a single file in inputs.

Here is the updated code.

var folder = Folder.selectDialog ('Select the folder for processing.')

var files = folder.getFiles('*.ct');

outputFolder = "~/Desktop" 

 

for (i=0;i<files.length;i++) 

{ 

    var fileRef = new File(files); 

    openctlp(fileRef); 

    docRef = app.activeDocument; 

 

    outputFile = new File(outputFolder + "/"+ fileRef.name); 

    var TiffSaveOptions = new TiffSaveOptions(); 

    TiffSaveOptions.transparency = true; 

    TiffSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true; 

    docRef.saveAs(outputFile, TiffSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE); 

    docRef.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES); 

} 

 

function openctlp() 

{ 

var idOpn = charIDToTypeID( "Opn " ); 

    var desc35 = new ActionDescriptor(); 

    var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" ); 

    desc35.putPath( idnull, fileRef ); 

    var idAs = charIDToTypeID( "As  " ); 

        var desc36 = new ActionDescriptor(); 

        var idktra = charIDToTypeID( "ktra" ); 

        desc36.putBoolean( idktra, true ); 

        var idkgrd = charIDToTypeID( "kgrd" ); 

        desc36.putBoolean( idkgrd, false ); 

        var idisol = charIDToTypeID( "isol" ); 

        desc36.putInteger( idisol, 0 ); 

    var idEskoEskoCTLPFormat = stringIDToTypeID( "Esko Esko CT/LP Format" ); 

    desc35.putObject( idAs, idEskoEskoCTLPFormat, desc36 ); 

executeAction( idOpn, desc35, DialogModes.NO ); 

} 

In the updated version of the script first, it will ask you to select the folder and then it will process all files with .ct extension present in the selected folder.

Hope this helps you.

    Are you really sure that this the right forum is?

    Your code shows Photoshops Action Manager Code (AM-code). There is no equivalent in Illustrator scripting. Should I move your thread into Photoshop scripting?
