I have a working script that saves out pdfs as gifs and jpegs for web use as a copy. However I have found that I am getting a disk access error that seems to be dependant on the file name of the pdf.
This file name seems to work fine Consumer_poffer-p99_2c.pdf and will save as Consumer_poffer-p99_2c copy.jpeg
However I recieve a photoshop error that says “could not sava a copy because disk is not available” when the file name is default_pic_pa_oh_-p38_2c.pdf does anyone know of any file naming restrictions involved with photoshop or what the problem could be?
I am using Photoshop 7.0 and also find the same for 7.1. OS 10.3.5
Thank you Ross. I am new to photoshop, the mac, and to applescript and am having issues with the relatively vague errors. And knowing the 32 character limitation means I just have to take an alternate route.
Does anyone know by chance of this problem being dealt with by anyone already. The files I am working have the chance of needing up 30 state abreviations in them and I am guessing that the file naming will have to be done on the finder side.
But that presents me with the problem that I am having to save as copy through photoshop itself due to needing the foreground matte to be saved with some of the images.
I would guess that this would be a problem encountered frequently by people because 32 characters isn’t very long. If anyone knows of any routines made to take a list of name maybe in csv form and change them out please let me know. Or if anyone has any other ideas and would share that would be awesome.
