Help with Photoshop droplet that first opens PDF then saves a cropped PNG with same file name as PDF
I'm trying to create a Photoshop droplet that will receive a specifically-sized, multi-page PDF document, do stuff (crop it down to a specific section of the first page, resample that to exact pixel dimensions), and output a PNG file with the same name as the original PDF. I'm running Mojave 10.14 and Photoshop 2020 (21.0.1), however it didn't work in PS 2019 either.
I think most of the problem I'm running into is that when you open a PDF, all of the options on the open PDF menu screen are saved as one action. I definately want to keep the options, like open the PDF at trim size and at 6000 pixels wide. However, the file name that is recorded with the action becomes the file name of whatever the droplet outputs.
On the droplet options, if I turn on the "Override open options", the PDF will open, but none of the other actions will execute. It just stops running once the file is open.
I'm just using Save As PNG as the save action because I realize Save for Web has it's own similar can of issues when its included in a droplet.
Is there a way to use the original PDF file name and save the end file with the original PDF name?
