Can PDF export be exported in batches by PS?

There are three ways to export PDFs in batches on PS: use PS action functions: record and open files and export PDF actions, and execute actions in a loop. With the help of third-party software: use file management software or automation tools to specify the input and output folders and set the file name format. Use scripts: Write scripts to customize batch export logic, but programming knowledge is required.

PS export PDF, batch processing? sure! Don't think you can only have one location, as it is so inefficient. In fact, PS itself does not directly support batch export of PDFs, but we can easily do it with some tips and external tools.

Method 1: Use the "action" function of PS

This is a feature that comes with PS, suitable for users with a certain PS foundation. You can record an "action", including steps such as opening a file, exporting a PDF, etc. The key is that you need to in the "Open File" step, select "Browse" and specify the folder containing all PSD files, and then set the number of times the loop performs the action. In this way, PS will automatically open each PSD file in the folder in sequence and export it to PDF.

• Operation steps:

  1. Open PS and click "Window" > "Action".
  2. Create a new action set and name it (for example, "Batch Export PDF").
  3. Click "Record", and then execute: Open the file (select a folder), export the PDF (set the save path and file name format, such as "File Name.pdf").
  4. Stop recording.
  5. In the action panel, modify "One Execution" to "Multiple Execution" and set the number of executions (i.e. the number of PSD files).
  6. Click the play button.
• Advantages and Disadvantages: The advantage is that it completely utilizes the PS's own functions without additional software. The disadvantage is that it requires certain PS skills, and patience is required to record actions and set parameters. The easy thing to make mistakes lies in the setting of file name format. If you are not careful, you may cause file naming confusion.

Method 2: Use third-party software

There are many batch processing tools on the market that can easily achieve batch export of PDFs. For example, some file management software or automation tools have this feature. These tools are usually simple to operate. You just need to select the folder where the PSD file is located and set the output path and file name format.

• Operation steps: These steps vary from software to software. Please refer to the specific instructions of the software you selected. Generally speaking, you only need to specify the input folder, the output folder, the file name format, and the export settings (such as the quality of the PDF).
• Advantages and Disadvantages: The advantages are simple operation, high efficiency, and are suitable for batch processing of large amounts of files. The disadvantage is that additional software needs to be installed and may be charged. When choosing software, you need to pay attention to the stability and compatibility of the software. Some free software may have limited functionality or have ads.

Method 3: Use scripts

If you are proficient in scripting languages, such as Javascript or Python, you can write a script to implement batch export. This is a more flexible and powerful method that can be customized to your specific needs. However, this requires some programming knowledge.

• Advantages and Disadvantages: The advantage is that it is powerful and can be highly customized. The disadvantage is that programming knowledge is required and learning costs are high.

Optimization suggestions for different office scenarios:

• A small number of files: just export them one by one in PS, which is simple and fast.
• Medium quantity of files: It is recommended to use the Action function, or choose a lightweight batch processing tool.
• Large number of files: Use professional batch processing tools or scripting, with the highest efficiency.

Remember, which method to choose depends on your PS skill level, number of files, and your efficiency requirements. Don't forget to back up your PSD files just in case! If you master these skills proficiently, your office efficiency will be greatly improved.
