Illustrator Scripting :: How To Batch Huge Bunch Of WMF To AI In Multiple Subfolders
Nov 1, 2013
I have a couple of thousand old cliparts in .wmf format that I have to convert to .ai. What I need to do is simply open the .wmf, store it as .ai in exactly the same location.
Actions didn´t work because the files are in mutliple folders and subfolders. "Actions" keeped saving all the ai-files in the same folder. Which is kinda weird since this doesn´t happen when using the same action in PS.
Sure, there are some quality issues with converting wmf to ai - but for what we´re plannning the quality is sufficient.
CarlosCantos script at [URL]..... looked like the thing to do. Loaded it in apple script, patched the lines to open .wmf and saved it in the Illustrator script folder, but all I got was a bunch of error messages.

I have a folder structure of subfolders with jpeg's in them.
I'd like to 'Save for web' them , keep the same folder structure and also the same names for the images.
I made an action that does Save for web. According to Adobe the settings should be
File > Automate > Batch>
Inculde all subfolders checked
Save and Close
Override Action checked
and I tried many other settings,
but the images tend to be saved in the destination folder of the image that I created the action with, instead of their original folder.

I'm using Photoshop CS5.5, and I'd like to batch process a folder with thousands of images ordered in several deeper subfolders.
The problem is, that I'd like to do this with preserving subfolders order, as it's the most important part of my project.

I need to batch convert a Harddisk full of Corel Draw (12) files. All CPT Files need to be converted to PSD or PNG and all CDR to AI or EPS.Sure I can do that with a batch process but it does only one folder at a time.What I like to do is Batchprocess all folders including subfolders. The New image shall be named like the old one.
Thought I can do it with ACDSee but it looks like it does not Support Corel Draw.I got the Corel Draw Graphic Suite 12 and ACDSee 8. Is there a script that can do it with corel draw?

I am trying to write a script that can batch EPS to high res JPG (20 MP and over). I can set this up basically, but I have run in to a few problems.
The maximum scaling in jpeg export options is 776%, but some of my EPS files are very small in size - so 776% does not create 20MP rasters.
So, I need to find a way to enlarge both the vector and the artboard to a larger size before exporting for jpeg.

I'm looking for a script that can convert .ai/.eps to PNG from subfolders or multiple level of subfolders. i found this awesome script posted a year ago here by Larry G. Schneider [URL] however it doesn't get the files from subfolders, just the one folder you specify.

I´m aware that Illustrator doesn´t have multiple artboards options for JPG as it does with eps, or other formats, but is there any workaround for this? Looping current artboard and exporting them to JPG or something. Or maybe there is someway to force the "save multiple artboards:true" in JPG?
export document currentDoc to file exportFolder as JPEG with options ¬
{class:JPEG export options ¬
, quality:100 ¬
, artboard clipping:true ¬
, artboard range:1 - 2 ¬
, save multiple artboards:true}

I found a script that does the job, export tones of ai files to pdf, but I have some files which are in sub folders, and I was trying to find a way to modify this script to include subfolder, but no luck.

It would be nice it if it were possible to batch resize a whole bunch of pictures. Could be done as follows:
1. Click on "batch resize.."
2. A window opens wherein you can select a number of images
3. Then choose by how much % you want their sizes to be reduced.
OR:
1. Find and select the images in windows explorer
2. Right-click, and select "batch resize.."
3. See 3 above

I need to find a way to convert a LOT of ai files, individually, to low res pdf's. Preferably with the presets I want, not some defaults. I'm not interested in an action. I was hoping for a droplet, script, or something similar.
I did find this and it looked promising... [URL] ....
That almost worked. Ultimately, for some reason, it couldn't see the ai files sitting in the specified folder.

is there a quick way how to renumber or batch rename all layers in a file so they would be named in consequent numbers? Doesn't have to start from exact number, I was wondering if maybe there is some sort of script that would work?

In LR5 is there any way to merge multiple subfolders? For example, in my 2012 folder, I have lots of subfolders that were created when I imported my photos and organized them by date.
But now that 2012 is over I don't need that granularity anymore and I want to consolited multiple folders into one folder.
I tried selecting a group of folders and right clicking but I haven't found any option for merging folder.

I created an Action to batch export a folder of .ai files to create 300dpi .png's of the .ai file's artboard. I did this by simply recording "Export...as png" with my desired settings then Batch running the Action on desired folder of .ai files. The files were successfully exported, the trouble is that the exported files lack a .png file extension. My intent is to take these PNG files and merge them into a single PDF using Acrobat Pro. Unfortunatly, without the .PNG extension, Acrobat Pro does not recognize the file types and does not let me use the Combine Files feature on them. Going back and manually adding a .png at the end of the exported files defeats the time-saving purpose of Batch Processing all together. Is there something I am missing or doing incorrectly? I have included screenshots of 1) My Batch Action settings 2) folders showing files without .png extension and 3) visual of what I see when I am trying to combine PNGs into a PDF.

I'm trying to recreate a bunch of IV-Studio settings to match a bunch of renders made by previous staff that did not leave behind the assembly files they used to make them in the first place.
I've ran into a problem with some parts displaying incorrectly. (they display incorrectly in the render/in the studio environment/ in the assembly/ and when in the part file) I've played with material and appearance styles but they have no effect, I've also tried quality/performance/compatibility hardware modes.
We have 5 or 6 parts that share the ridge pattern that is causing problems and they are affected in the same way.I'm running XP(32), IV2012-sp2, fx1800 with 6.14.0012.6570 drivers.

I have been tying to figure out how I could easily embed multiple linked images easily. I have some 1000 .svg images which have about 1-7 .tif images linked in to them. I now need to get those links embedded and becouse of the amount of images I'm hoping to make an action out of it. I have a script to embed single image in .svg but haven't have luck with multiple embeddings.

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.
Is there any sort of script that can do this? The files are in CMYK.
Otherwise I have a lot of monotonous file editing to do.

Is it possible to have a script that would split up an Illustrator file that contains a number of groups of elements into individual files... for example, here is a download link for a file that has different types of moustaches and I want each moustache as an individual file... I have hundreds of Illustrator files like this that have 4, 8, 15, 20 or more illustrations all bunched onto the one file that I need to split up. I'm using CS4 [URL]....

I have script where I select items on multiple artboard but I can't seem to get get active art board of the selected item. Is this possible?
each artboard has a text item and I would like them in the same position on each of their own artboards that they are already one. right now it adjusts them all to one artboard. here is what I have so far
doc = app.activeDocument;
for(i = 0; i < selection.length; i++){
var firstItemPosition = doc.selection[0].position;
doc.selection[i].position = firstItemPosition;
var activeArtboardIndex = doc.artboards.getActiveArtboardIndex();
alert(activeArtboardIndex);
}

Is it possible to save illustrator XMP thumbnail previews by artboard? It seems like Illustrator saves a single thumbnail with all art regardless of the number of artboards.
If there is a property that can be set to save multiple thumbnails to the XMP packet by artboard when saving to a native Illustrator file?

I want to create a dialog consisting of multiple buttons. As a result I want value which button was pressed by user.
The script (shortened to problematic part):
// I'm looping through elements on layer 'warstwa' from kolorStart to kolorStop, 'k' is used for number buttons
for (i = kolorStart, k = 0; i <= kolorStop; k++, i++) {
myButton[k] = myButtonGroup.add ("button", undefined, warstwa.pageItems[i].contents);
myButton[k].label = warstwa.pageItems[i].contents;
myButton[k].onClick = function () { wybranyKolor = myButton[k].label; myWindow.close(); }
}
The result:
But buttons don't work, wybranyKolor returning 'undefined'. If I change "wybranyKolor = myButton[k].label" to "wybranyKolor = myButton[k-1].label" I get proper answer but it is the same for all buttons so it looks that all buttons have the same action assigned. How to get each button to has unique name which can be passed to variable?
Probably I can achieve the same with radio buttons' list but with buttons it is one click less for the user.

I've found some very good scripts like the MultiExporter.js by Matthew Ericson and Export Layeres as PNG files by Johan Otterud, however none that quite fit our needs. We need an Illustrator script that takes an AI file and spits out an .eps, .jpg (for print), multiple .png sizes for web, and .pdf. We have an extensive download library for members that constantly change and rotate with new logos, print materials and other graphics.
I was hoping that there was some kind of script that would cut some time off of exporting all the different versions each time.
