Illustrator Scripting :: ExtendScript Applications Menu Empty?
Jun 20, 2012
I had to reinstall Acrobat Pro X today because combining pdfs was sticking at "checking security".
After the re-install everything went fine with that, but now ExtendScript shows only itself in the application target menu.
(Previously had all of CS6 and CS5 apps in there)
I tried to reinstall CS6 illustrator to see if that added it, got a few install errors, but mainly about not being able to delete files. No luck in restoring the app menu.
If I set
#target illustrator
I get a "illustrator undefined" error, and no script execution. in the middle of a major project which includes scripts in illustrator and combining pdfs in acrobat.

is there a way to save extendscript color pref? I am trying to make it so I don't have to update them every time I change machines.
seems like they should be saved in defs.xml (under Contents > SharedSupport > Required), but this file doesn't seem to update after I make my changes.

How do I add custom menu items to the main menu in Illustrator?
I would like to build my own menu with scripts that I use alot. This is a powerful feature that I use alot in other programs, but I have not seen any examples of this in illustrator.

Trying to remove any text frames with empty content but it doesn't seem to be removing correct textFrame layers?
var numberOfEmptyTextBoxes = 0;
var layersWithNoText = new Array();
if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
for ( i = 0; i < app.activeDocument.textFrames.length; i++ ) {

Does this script also cleans up unpainted objects and empty text frames? Personally, I don't think so because the check of the script in extendscript and illustrator results negative.
var idoc = app.activeDocument;var straypoints = []; for (i=0; i<idoc.pathItems.length; i++) {
var ipath = idoc.pathItems[i]; if (ipath.pathPoints.length==1)
straypoints.push(ipath);} for (j=0; j<idoc.textFrames.length; j++) {
var itext = idoc.textFrames[j]; if (itext.textRange.length==0)
straypoints.push(itext);} for (k=0; k<straypoints.length; k++)
straypoints[k].remove();
I also want to automatically remove all objects who have a white fill (white background) and no stroke.
Problem is a created pdf-file of an html-file of a table that must be cleaned up. There are a lot of stray points, empty text frames, unpainted objects, white "cells" that are also be painted in the pdf.

is there a way to pin certain scripts to the menu in Illustrator (File > Scripts)?
It's quite a work to access to scripts by "File > Scripts > Other script" every time, so I figure there must be some easier way out there.

When writting scripts to Photoshop I can use the app.runMenuItem() method to acess commands in the menus. For example: app.runMenuItem (charIDToTypeID("ZoomIn")) will run the Zoom In command.
Does Illustrator have any such method (or accepts anything like action description) to enable us to acess it´s menu items? For example acess Expand comnand, or Object > Live Paint > Make..

I just got CS6, and I'm wondering how I access menu items using Javascript?Also, I'm looking at the CS6 JS reference, and it doesn't say whether app.activeDocument.selection is Read-Only. I would need this for my purposes in accessing the menu.The item I wanna access is Select > Same > Stroke Color. Seems simple enough.

if there is a way to open any menu item by script (Javascript) in illustrator CS5/5.1? perhaps something like this:
"app.menuActions.itemByID(0123).invoke()".
I looked at the scripting reference, but i didn't found it.

This 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.

I have developed a script to perform some Custom action in Illustrator. I want to make this script run from a a File Menu Item so it can be invoked easily. Is there a way to customize Illustrator to add a new menu item or modify the existing menu tems functions. For example if the script needs to be invoked when the user click "Save" is there a way that could be done.

I'm a web developer currently slicing an illustrator file for web graphics. Some of the icons and images have shadows, lights, etc, and it's impossible to simply see by a naked eye which pixels contains some shade or nearly transparent color and which doesn't.
It would be extremely useful if I could somehow easily differentiate between empty and non-empty pixels, so I wouldn't miss any when slicing.

A client really likes a font and wants me to incorporate it into her logo. I installed the font and it's working in Pages and other programs, but not in Adobe CS6 applications (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign). I installed a ttf and an otf version of the font but neither work. I installed & validated the font with Font Book. I've tried a lot of the fixes I've seen on these forums but nothing's worked. I've restarted my computer a few times too.

I'm try to automate the importing of the Varaible and datasets into my graphs via Scripting, but the ImportVaraibles() function doesn't seem to work. Here is my Script, mostly copied from the example script provided with Illustrator (CS5). And, this works manually, using the file names in the script, via Load Variable Library
Set appRef = CreateObject(strIllistratorVersion)
'Open the file and import the datasets
Set docRef = appRef.Open(strTemplate & "200-500.ai")
'docRef.Datasets.RemoveAll
docRef.Variables("Yearbook").Delete
Here is the problem, after I delete the previous library, then this next line, right from the example, does nothing
The script then exits with 'No Datasets in this document'
docRef.ImportVariables (strXMLFolder & "Lumber_200-500.xml")
'appRef.DoJavaScript "alert('Template:" & strTemplate & strRange & ".ai | XML file:" & strXMLFolder & "" & objFile.Name & "^')"
If (appRef.Documents.Count > 0) Then
Set docRef = appRef.Documents(1)
[Code]....
If I remove that delete line, the script runs, but just uses whatever Variables I had last loaded, not the XML file.
It's simply not loading. What do I need to do to get it to load?

I've got an issue with Adobe CS3 illustrator not displaying the full UI when used via Microsoft Remote Applications (RDS Windows Server 2008 R2). When connect to the server via a normal RDP interface the connection UI is displayed correctly. The Other Adobe CS3 MC application work fine in either connection method.
I have logged a call with MS and we have tried a varierty of RDS Fixes however we do seem pointing to a illustrator issue over a RDS issue.

This programme came when I downloaded Elements 9; any detriment to Elements 9 if I delete it?
When I run it I can't see it does anything that I would ever need; especially the obligatory and irritating empty folder in My Documents.

when I load PS7 I get an error message "ExtendScript.dll failed to load", but when I click OK the program loads normally anyway. I realise that un/reinstalling may solve whatever the problem is but that means going through a whole rigmarole of reinstalling plugins, brushes, gradients etc
