Hello all,

 

Developer here, trying to create a script to help me create a large photoshop document. I have a list of file names, and the x/y positions (I can change this input in any way to make it easier for PS to read). All of the file names are an existing .psd file.

 

If I were to do this manually, I would do:
1. File > Place embedded... > Select the file from my file browser > Ok

2. Set the X and Y coordinates for the newly embeded object

(however, I'd need to do this over 400 times manually, thus the script)

 

I have tried my absolute best to navigate the PDF documentation (wtf Adobe), but I can't even figure out how to embed an existing .pdf file into the current document from a file path (I've seen some examples of using a filepicker, but that doesn't work). Without even getting past that I don't know how to place it via the X/Y coords.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Please let me know if there's any more information I can provide to help.
