Illustrator Scripting :: Convert Layers In Document To Artboards?
Sep 24, 2013Script which would convert the layers in a document to artboards? At present I have a lot of documents with a couple of hundred layers on each of them, but I've decided to change the way that I organise my workflow and started using artboards instead. 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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIllustrator Scripting :: How To Loop Through The Artboards
Feb 7, 2012Is it possible to loop thru the artboards (with Illustrator CS5) and only work with the pageItems on the current iterated artboard?
For example, if I have 3 artboards, with 2 textFrames on each artboard. And I add the textFrames sporadically (I add a TextFrame with contents "Text 1" on artboard 1, then a textFrame with contents "Text 2" on artboard 3, then a textFrame with contents "Text 3" on artboard 1, etc).
Artboard 1:
Text 1
Text 3
Artboard 2:
Text 4
Text 6
Artboard 3:
Text 5
Text 2
Is there a way to loop thru these artboards and get the textFrames tied to the appropariate artboard? So, on the first iteration of the loop, I'm looking at artboard 1 and only looking at "Text 1" and "Text 3", then on the the 2nd iteration I'd be working with artboard 2 and it's textFrames "Text 4" and "Text 6", and so on.
If I loop thru only the doc.textFrames, the order would be incorrect, with the way I added each textFrame. Instead of artboard order, they'd be in this order:
Text 1
Text 2
Text 3
Text 4
Text 5
Text 6

Jun 22, 2013I'm trying to create some simple vertical centerlines to be drawn in the same spot on all existing artboards in my document. What I have so far is creating the proper amount of centerlines but only drawing them in the correct spot on half of the artboards while the other half are being drawn in the space between the artboards. Here's what I have so far.
function addCenterLines() {
var doc = app.activeDocument;
for (var i = 0; i < doc.artboards.length; i++) {
var abRect = doc.artboards[i].artboardRect;
[code]...
showing the top of a couple of the artboards and the misplaced centerlines in between.I think I have a great misunderstanding of how the abRect coordinates work, as in which side is [0],[1],[2] and [3], which may be leading to my inability to get this right. How I can sort out my centerlines. The centerlines provided in the print dialog are not an option in this case.

Mar 5, 2010Often times when designing a logo I create different versions and variable options on layers. This can result in several layers in one Illustrator file. Is there an easy way or an existing script that will allow me to (with one click) create a multi-page PDF consisting of all the layers within my .ai file? The current method is turning on each layer, performing a save-as (PDF), then turning off said layer and turning on the next layer and repeating the task and so-on-and-so-forth, etc … It becomes tedious and quite often I save over the previous version, forgetting to re-name it or forget to perform a save on a certain layer. I have never written my own script before but am not opposed to trying, where do I begin?

Mar 7, 2014I'm looking to create a script to batch rename a number of artboards.
- I have 100 named layers.
- I have 100 artboards.
- I would like to rename the artboards to match the layer names.
- The layers are organized in the same descending orderas the artboards (ignoring the actual artboard names*).
- The topmost artboard (1 in the list) would be renamed "newspaper", the second artboard would be renamed "typewriter", the third artboard would be renamed "books", etc.
*in the example below the artboard named "Artboard 7" is actually the 6th artboard in list.
Illustrator Scripting :: Create New Document With Profile And Multiple / Named Layers?
Mar 27, 2013I can't figure out the proper commands to fill out and complete the script below. What I am trying to do is:
- Create a new document using one of the Profile presets (or have the New Document dialogue open so I could select the profile, size and bleed)
- Make 3 layers, each with a diferent name
- Create a rectangle the size of the artboard on the bottom layer, with a swatch stroke and no fill
- Create a rectangle the size of the bleed on the middle layer, with no stroke or fill
Like I said, I haven't gotten far at all. I've read through the basic scripting guides and I'm just not understanding all of the language needed to string things together.
tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
make new document
set topLayer to make new layer ¬
at beginning of document 1 with properties {name:"Vector"}
set bottomLayer to make new layer ¬
at end of document 1 with properties {name:"Through Cut"}

View 1 Replies View RelatedIllustrator Scripting :: Export Selected Artboards PNG24 JavaScript?
Mar 1, 2013I'm trying to do some workflow enhancements. For our games we need to export to PNG at different resolutions for different mobile devices. I use a artboard per asset and currently manually export 3 times (using file/export/png with use artboards option), at 72 dpi, 144 dpi and 33.75 dpi.
I've been modifying a simple Javascript I downlaoded and have got it save to different fixed locations at different scales. All good. However exporting every artboard each time will cause issues with our version control system and take too long. It's not really a solution.
So I need a way to either only export the current selected artboards (which I believe can't be done) or somewho show the artboard range dialog that the system uses. Either of those would be a good solution.
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var num_artboards = docRef.artboards.length;
var getName = app.activeDocument.name;
var fileName = getName.slice(0, -3);

View 1 Replies View RelatedIllustrator Scripting :: Deleting And Replacing Layers?
May 1, 2013So I'm trying to create a fairly simple script that will measure the size of art on the artboard for making printing plates. That part I have working. But once I have made one file, I have to delete the measurements layer manually (which is where the script puts them) so that I can make the next one. I need the script to check and see if there is a layer called "measurements" delete it and then create a new one called "measurements" in which to put the dimensions of the (new) artwork. This way I can keep making files and "saving as" with a new name.
