Illustrator Scripting :: ESTK 3.6 Crashes When Open Preferences And Click Fonts And Colors
Sep 10, 2012
I am using a MAC OS version 10.6.8 and ESTK 3.6. When I open ESTK the font is very small and I want to make it larger. I go to ExtendScript ToolKit>Preferences when I click Fonts and Colors the program crashes and sends an error report to Apple.Â
Â
I would like to script Illustrator with .jsx instead of AppleScript because I am more familiar with JavaScript (plus it's cross platform compatible).Â

I am trying to save preferences in the onClose function of my extension using the following code:
Â
CSXSInterface.instance.storePreference("shapeStrokeSize", model.shapeStrokeSize.toString());
Â
But the values I save do no persist and I can't find the prefs file. I am checking in: /Users/mitya/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEPServiceManager4/preference
Â
if I run this same extension in CS6 everything works fine.

I have a lot of existing eps-files of which the option "embed all fonts" is unchecked. Know I have to check the "embed all fonts" in the existing eps-files. I tried to modify the script below, but it seems that the embedallfonts is NOT working.
Â
When I do it manually (without script), then it works fine. With script, it doesn't work.
 Â
#target illustrator
// PART 1
var doc = app.activeDocument;
// PART 2 -> herbewaren eps als eps
[Code] ........
Â
Another question will be: can I get a dialog box to put in the path to the eps-files, I can do thereafter it in batch instead of each time opening and closing a file.

Every time I open illustrator and click on the pen icon, open a document, etc etc it crashes. I am using a Mac computer OS X version 10.9. I only have downloaded fonts from dafont.com on this computer. Nothing else has been installed or downloaded. I have tried opening the program while holding CMD/OPT/SHIFT,uninstalling illustrator and redownloading but it still does not work. Below is the error message I get:

The code works to collect fonts in an open Illustrator document. The issue I am having is that it only collects one font. Or sometimes it will collect a whole font family. But I haven't been able to get it to collect all of the fonts in the document.
Â
function getUsedFonts (doc){
var xmlString = new XML(doc.XMPString),
fontFamily = xmlString.descendants("stFnt:fontFamily"),
fontFace = xmlString.descendants("stFnt:fontFace"),
ln = fontFace.length(), i = 0, arr = [];

I'm wondering if there is a way for me to only need to create one sample text and get multiple previews of different fonts (either some of my favorites, or just all of them). If not, perhaps there is a way to make a script where the text makes multiple copies of itself and changes the font.

As I understand it, TextFonts is a collection of all fonts available to Illustraot. Is there a collection of all fonts used in the open document? Or would I have to step through every textFrame an create that list myself?

Often 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?

I'm trying to change the colors of a pathItem corresponding to the string value of several text fields in my document. I've been successful in changing the fill and stroke color of the pathItem, but I can not find any reference in the Illustrator Javascript Guide for accessing additional strokes and/or fills that have been applied to the object in the Appearance panel.

I am trying to create a script that adds custom spot colours to the swatch pallet. I've manage to put together something that works (I've adapted an existing script), but the colours added are not spots, just CMYK colour swatches.Also, I need the script not to error if the swatch already exists.
Â
//Add Custom Swatches
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
function cmykColor(c, m, y, k) {
    var newCMYK = new CMYKColor();
    newCMYK.cyan = c;
    newCMYK.magenta = m;
    newCMYK.yellow = y;
    newCMYK.black = k;
    return newCMYK;

I have about 300+ product labels that are in Illustrator, and some of them have an incorrect rich black color swatch. What I have been doing is going through and changing the color pallette to change them manually. Essentially going to the instance of black and changing them to regular black.
Â
Is there any sort of script that can do this? The files are in CMYK.
Â
Otherwise I have a lot of monotonous file editing to do.

I tried to add a LabColor with an Illustrator script.
Â
function addLabColorToSwatch(L,a,b,swatchName){
var color = new LabColor();
color.l = L;
color.a = a;
color.b = b;
 var swatchgroup = app.activeDocument.swatchGroups.add();
swatchgroup.name = "test swatchgroup from jsx script";
[code]....
Â
The script crashes on the Line 'swatch.color = color;' with "Error 1202: Not implemented"..This seems to a bug. I allready filed it.

I need to generate an overview of the colors used in a document.
Â
For that, I would like to cycle through several rectangles of which I know the exact size. The rectangles are filled with a color from the swatch palette.
Â
What I try to achieve is that the swatch name of the rectangle's fill color is written to a text field directly above the rectangle. But I could not find a possibility to 'extract' the fillcolor from a pageItem into a pastable string.
Is there a way to do this with Illustrator and Javascript?

I've been looking around for a script that will take the used spot colors in a document and place them in a predetermined spot. I've came across several posts about this, such as the COLOR CHIPPER although I think it's focus was on swatches. What is confusing is the part of making New CMYKColor or RGB or if I even need to do that. I've looked at other posts and the Adobe docs, but none seem to work. Adding the text isn't difficult, it's getting these spot colors to reflect what's in the document that is. From what I'm seeing now:
Â
I may have to use some other type of script such as Applescript to get rid of unused swatches first throught the actions panel, but I'm not sure.I could possibly use the getByName method to call out the specific rectangle and the and relative callout with the appropriate color instead of having to position everytime.Â

I need to automatically create all the possible pattern combinations with 6 shapes and 6 colors.
 Â
I have an Excell file with assigned color combinations (values from 1 to 6) in the rows, and the shape name (A to F) in the columns. Column 7 is a string containin the color combination names (i.d. 123456, 123345 etc...) so that I can output each combination with the color/numbers in the name.
 Â
I'd like Illustrator to pick every row and assign the contained colors to each shape of the column and to export a .png with the name from column 7 content.
 Â
Just simple as that! But to me it sounds pretty hard!Â
 Â
Is there a script that makes it already posted somewhere? - i couldn't find any -Â or something simliar to start coding from?

I'm using a mac running illustrator cs5 and have about 4 thousand eps files (all vector paths filled with black) that need to be assigned colors randomly from a defined color palette (25 custom swatches). The first 2 swatches should be omitted- they aren't relevant to this task.
Â
The script should open the file select all vector elements and assign a random color form the defined custom swatch palette then save the file and move on to the next.

When I open a PDF file I get the following warning:
Â
The document contains PDF objects that have been reinterpreted.
- The font is missing
Â
Can I somehow open the file without showing that error, or simply automate and click OK on that window? I am using C# with COM reference. See code below:
 Â
var iapp = new Illustrator.Application();
var idoc = iapp.Open(file, Illustrator.AiDocumentColorSpace.aiDocumentRGBColor, null);

I'm batch exporting JPGs of AI files in CS5, but many of the files are as old as AI10, so I'm getting the "Convert to Artboard" dialog box. I've set open options (below), but they seem to just pre-populate the checkboxes in the dialog. Any way to do this without user interaction? userInteractionLevel doesn't seem to apply here)Â

var optRef = new OpenOptions();
optRef.updateLegacyText = true;
optRef.convertCropAreaToArboard = false;
optRef.preserveLegacyArtboard = true;
optRef.createArtboardWithArtworkBoundingBox = false;
