r-bin code open the first flattens it  and places the other image in as layers and rasterize the smart object layers,  If you files have different sized any image larger then the first one may be resized sizes to fit within the first document canvas size or may be larger that the canvas size.  Depends on your Photoshop preference for place handling.

May be?

var dir = Folder('/Users/user/Desktop'); 
var files = dir.openDlg('This is always the same folder?','',true);
if (files != null)
    {
    for (var f = 0; f< files.length; f++)
        {
        if (!f) 
            { 
            open(files); 
            activeDocument.flatten(); 
            } 
        else
            { 
            var d = new ActionDescriptor();
            d.putPath(stringIDToTypeID("null"), files);
            d.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("freeTransformCenterState"), stringIDToTypeID("quadCenterState"), stringIDToTypeID("QCSAverage"));
            executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("placeEvent"), d, DialogModes.NO);
            activeDocument.activeLayer.rasterize(RasterizeType.ENTIRELAYER);
            }
        activeDocument.activeLayer.name = File.decode(files.name); 
        }
    }

Hi geppettol66959005,

Thanks for support, Your script is working fine but when i run this, it will open a folder image file in described format, which is mention in script, but i want open image file without mention the size in script..

When i open spread file it is open in half view.

but when i open single page file it is open full but extra transparent margin is there.

If is it possible in script to open document in his own size perfeactly view in Photoshop. (Either it is Page or Spread)

Please do needfull support.

Document will automatically open in his own size without mentioning in script.

Thanks

Rakesh

Change line 78

from so

var newDoc = app.documents.add (2400, 2400, 200, "Doc temp", NewDocumentMode.RGB, DocumentFill.TRANSPARENT, 1);

to

var newDoc = app.documents.add (10000, 1000, 300, "Doc temp", NewDocumentMode.RGB, DocumentFill.TRANSPARENT, 1);

change line 100

from so

app.activeDocument.trim (TrimType.TRANSPARENT, false, false, false, false);

to

app.activeDocument.trim (TrimType.TRANSPARENT, true, true, true, true);

See if it's okay for your purpose

    If you know what you want to do what is stopping you from coding the script? You can read the code in load files into stack and see how it process a folder to get all the filed in it,  read the code to stack a list of  files

    You need to open the first file  then place in then other files or Create a new document open the image files one at a time size them and past them into the document you created where you want the  images and close the image document without saving.
