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?

Is there a way to get a listing of all fonts used with in a drawing?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
When I do it manually (without script), then it works fine. With script, it doesn't work.
#target illustrator
// PART 1
var doc = app.activeDocument;
// PART 2 -> herbewaren eps als eps
[Code] ........
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.
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.
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.

I explored the functions in File but there is nothing like Delete().
I'd like to export certain properties from an ai-document to XML. The XML will be post-processed using XSLT. Secretly, I'm hoping that I can invoke the Reflection-system (as mentioned brifely, I might add) in the ExtendedScript Toolkit CS6 Core JavaScript Classes.
How to get reflection working for JavaScript objects (both built-in and the ones I've created in code my self)? Are there any guides that are relevant in my case? (Try googling "illustrator script reflection" and you get a bunch of flip object scripts ...)
Is there a way to write a script to copy a selected/chosen artboard (and it's contents) to another opened document, placing it in exactly the same place on the global x/y coordinates? I'm either unable to find this feature built in to Illustrator, or it's simply missing.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAny success creating a script that delete elements in Illustrator by its colors?
For example, I want to delete all elements that is colored Red in a document regardless what layer or artboard thay are in.
I would like to make the active layer name the same as the document name. I know very little about scripting. I found this script:
var idoc = app.activeDocument;var ilayer = idoc.activeLayer;var filename = idoc.name;ilayer.name = filename;
It does almost what I need it to do. except that it also copies the ".ai" in to the layer name. Is there some way to modify this script to have it exclude or delete the file extension?

View 3 Replies View Relatedin an open PDF File i press 'Ctrl+A' to select all Items in the document, then i choose Edit/Transform/rotate ... 90 degree.now i'd like to do the same with an vbscript.
the best thing i could find is:
rotate(90)
Sub rotate (degree)
Dim appRef, argument, element
Dim changePositions, changeFillPatterns, changeFillGradients, changeStrokePattern, rotateAbout
Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application")
[code]....
not all, but all elements i am interested in are rotated - it would be better if really all elements would be rotated the elements are rotated around 'aiTransformDocumentOrigin' ... i would prefer if they are rotated around 'middle of document'.
is there a way to determine the biggest item in a document using javascript?
View 4 Replies View RelatedScript 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 1 Replies View RelatedI need to generate an overview of the colors used in a document.
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.
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'm trying to inverse all gradients within a document using Javascript. I can't find the property to call to inverse them in any of the PDF's I have, and I'm having trouble calling gradients in general I can't even rename them at the moment.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to get the list of all the fonts and colors used in the active illustrator document (.ai file) ?
if yes then how?
I'd like to create a script that checks the current document's color profile and checks it against a string, for example "sRGB IEC61966-2.1". My studio has a script that performs various functions to make sure that all the layers are visible/unlocked, checks for stray points, etc., and we'd like to add a check to the color profile because we handle a large number of files and this setting is overlooked a lot.
It's alright if this value isn't writable through script (we can just pop up an alert letting the user know that they need to change it), but I can't find where to actually read this setting! We're currently working on Macs and with JavaScript, but any nudge in the right direction.
I'm trying to select every object with the color "CutContour" So far I've been trying:
myDoc.selection = myDoc.spots.getByName("CutContour"); I guess this obviouslly wouldn't work though because myDoc.selection is looking for an array of objects. However, I can't figure out how to loop through all the objects in the document and check to see if they contain the SpotColor.
I want to use the Select > Same > Stroke Color , but I heard that using that in Javascript isn't available unless you have CS6 (which I currently don't). Is it true that accessing menu items through scripting is a feature in CS6?
I'm trying to hide all items in a document (and store each items original visibility state), iterate user pre-selected items and perform an export for each item in selection (I've got this part covered), and finally restore the visibility state of each item again (here's where the storing of original visibility state is needed).
I've found that I can iterate all items in the document using app.activeDocument.pageItems[i] where i is the page item identified by the i-th index in the pageItems collection.
What is not clear, however, is how to get the visibility state of this page item. Indeed, there is a property visbilityVariable associated with page items, but when I try to "inspect" its content using an alert message, I get "undefined".
Are there better ways to iterate all items in a document? Ideally, I'd like to access all items regardless of wether they're path items, group items, text frame items or what have you. I need this collection to read/write the visibility state of each individual item.
I'm on Illy CS2, windows xp.
I want to open a doc, run a script that selects all paths of a color, say 255,0,0 or 50,0,20,4 and changes that color to black or another color I specify and also changes the stroke. Is this possible? I can't see how i would do it?
Is it possible to find out how bright is an color? I need to find the darkest color in document's swatches. My solution would be to convert (script internally, without actually making any changes in document) swatches to grayscale, compare them and pick the darkest. But how to convert swatch defined in undefined mode (they might be in lab or cmyk) to grayscale?
I found in 'js scriping reference' a method "convertSampleColor", but I have no idea how to use it. Any examples?
how would I go about to check if a textframe with specific content exists in a document and if it does then procede with a function?
if ("word" exists) { make a new layer}
I just need it to check if one instance of the word exist
If i want select objects that same fill color in document, I can use 'select - same - Fill color' function in Illustrator.
It's so fast. below 1 second.
But, If i want make it in Javascript, I can't do it like fast.
for(i=0; i<activeDocument.pathItems.length; i++){...}
If document have 10,000 objects, above script can't finish in even 60 seconds.
How Illustrator can traversal fast?
Is there something other way?
changing 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.)
We need a script that select all pattern objects in the active document in illustrator.
