Apr 14, 2010changing the file path for links in an Illustrator document?
For example, let's say my Illustrator document is stored at: /Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/designs/concept1.ai
and I have placed 2 linked visuals:
/Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/visuals/big_retouch.psd
/Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/visuals/flattened.jpg
When I open the .AI I noticed that the reference to the visuals is under a %DocumentFiles section:
%%DocumentFiles:/Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/visuals/retouc hed.psd
%%+/Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/visuals/flattened.jpg
I need to replace "/Volumes/Storage/Projects" with "/Volumes/Projects". (There are some more complex replacements I need, but let's start here.)

View 2 Replies View RelatedIllustrator Scripting :: Raster-item Didn't Get Color
Mar 22, 2012I have written a small application in .NET that gives color to Illustrator files.I have a layer with 100 color items (paths with a fillcolor). Each one has a unique name. Through that name my program looks them up, takes the fill color and applies that color to another path.Recently there was a change in Design, the drawings that I had to provide of a Fillcolor were no no longer pathitems but rasteritems (imported from photoshop). I thought ok no problem instead of setting the Fillcolor property I'll use the Colorize method on the rasteritems. It worked fine but now and then I came across a situation where raster-item didn't get the color. After digging in to it I saw that it was because some colors are Pantone colors and the colorize method on rasteritems only takes RGBColor or CMYKcolor objects. How to do it with the pantone colors?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIllustrator Scripting :: Accessing Elements Of A Page Item
Jan 6, 2014I am working on a script that performs a series of things on all of the artwork in a document. At one point, it needs to compare the fill color of every item to a sample color. The problem is, the artwork is a collection of compound path items and path items. When I look for pathItems[x]. fillColor, it works fine. When I look for compoundPathItem[x].fillColor, it comes back undefined. So, I've moved to looking at page items, but I seem to be unable to get to the internals on the page items. If I have a compound path item, how would I address its properties from its parent page item? I tried:
pageItem[x].compoundPathItem.pathItems[0].fillColor,
pageItems[x].fillColor, &
pageItems[x].compoundPathItem.fillColor.

Illustrator Scripting :: How To Add Script To Actions Via Insert Menu Item
Jan 14, 2013This has been an issue since at least CS4. If you add a script to your actions via "Insert Menu Iitem" (not sure if it's for all items or just scripts) and close Illustrator, those actions disappear. Apparently, in CS6, Adobe has completely ignored improving including scripts to Actions, which really makes automation powerful. As awesome as CS6 is, that part is pretty lame.

Illustrator Scripting :: Simple / Direct Method To Identify Index Of Selected Item In List Box
Jul 16, 2013I can't seem to figure out a simple/direct method to identify the index of the selected item in a list box.
I feel like I'm missing something, but I can't seem to figure which (if any) property returns an index number if you use it with the .onChange callback for a ListBox.
The following code accomplishes what I need but isn't particularly efficient or elegant and can get muddled if you introduce multiple lists to check.
Any way to duplicate this same behavior with better code
var res = "palette {text: 'Example List', properties:{resizeable:true}
pnl: Panel{orientation: 'row',preferredSize: [400,600],
list1: ListBox{preferredSize: [400,550], properties:{multiselect:true,numberOfColumns:2, showHeaders:true,columnTitles: ['List 1', 'Subitem 0']}},
}}"

I don't really have the time to spend moving them individually from a layer over on to an artboard as there are a lot.
