Error: The command "Make" is not currently available. (-25920)

Hey All

When running an action within Photoshop all actions run fine,
when I run through Automate>Batch 

The action is using Fill Content Aware. 

the following error is occurring: 
Error: The command "Make" is not currently available. (-25920) 

Any help or advice to resolve this would be great.

We need to see a screenshot with the error and the workspace, layers panel, and action panel expanded at the step that is erroring.

For example, is the step prior to the error "make selection" or similar using a name that is not available in the current file.

Hey @Stephen_A_Marsh 

this is the action stepped out that I can run within Photoshop without any error when I run via  automate> Batch  - Folders In and Out  it throws the error above 

wanting to edit several photos so doing these as a Batch Automation would be great!

The screenshot needs to happen during the failed batch – with the action panel expanded at the step that is erroring so that we can see which is the problematic step with the error message visible as well as the layer panel and canvas. What file types are being input? Are they flattened with a Background layer, or do they already contain a floating layer capable of accepting transparency?

Here is a screenshot that I get when running the automation > Batch, If you need me to send the action along  action via a private message I can

the input of the files are
PDF 
300DPI
CMYK 
8BIT 

FIle when open 

Running action manually 

Running action via Automate > Batch 

 

 Hope this helps

@Stephen_A_Marsh  the correct input file is attached

Your Batch settings have override action open commands set, but there is no corresponding open step in the action. Uncheck that and try again.

Hey that seems to be working but when running on a server level using hot folders and running the action to do it on the fly  I'm getting the same error is there any script I can use to set the action to work as the Automate> batch.

the one on the script currently is 
displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO; // OFF

but still getting errors.

Try setting the action execution mode to step-by-step or with some delay.

Also try using the first command to use something that does not depend on the presence of an open file, for example selecting a brush tool.

You could take a look at PDF Processor II, which is specifically designed to deal with PDF files:

In addition to the standard Image Processor script that ships with Photoshop, there are other generic batch processing scripts that can also run an action:
