Illustrator Scripting :: Open Exported File Directly In Photoshop
Sep 18, 2013
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var destFolder = Folder ("~/Documents");
if (destFolder) {
var fileName = activeDocument.name;
var destFile = new File(destFolder + '/' + fileName);
[Code] .....
This code I created exports my current Ai document as a PSD with set options. It also names the new file what it is called in Ai.
How can I call the created file and open it directly in Photoshop? Keep in mind I would be working on multiple files, so file names would change every time I ran this Export Script.
I could call a specifically named file and open that, but that's not what I need this script to do. I just need it to open the newly created PSD file.

Is there a way to simply select all object directly below an objects?
I found this script here but it doesn't seem to work.
//DESCRIPTION:Select Below
// A Jongware Script
if (app.documents.length && app.selection.length)
{
ypos = app.selection[0].visibleBounds[3];
[Code] .....
Here's an example file. I'm trying to select eveything below the yellow polygon.
This would be very useful in another project with many small objects bunch together below many larger objects. I want to group the small objects that are bellow the larger object together without having to manually select each objects (there are thousands of objects so a script would be ideal).

When I open a PDF file I get the following warning:
The document contains PDF objects that have been reinterpreted.
- The font is missing
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:
var iapp = new Illustrator.Application();
var idoc = iapp.Open(file, Illustrator.AiDocumentColorSpace.aiDocumentRGBColor, null);

Example: nome_0000_art to nome_0000_closed
I tried to create from another script that saves EPS but as I am new to the subject could not make it work
how do I perform the command saveas automatically without showing the dialog window by changing the file name?

Is there a way to export a document @ a different resolution than 72DPI? I know I can set the horizontal/vertical scale to save it at a larger dimension at 72DPI, but I need the file to be actual size and 300DPI.
This is part of a larger process, and I'd prefer to do the entire process from Illustrator, and not have to open the files in Photoshop to change the size/resolution.
Also, is it possible to change the color mode to CMYK or Greyscale for the exported Jpeg?

I have recently upgraded to X6 from X3. After design work I would export the file to jpeg for client approval. I used Apple Mail 5.2 to attach the jpeg file but my problem is the client cannot open the file. It just turns out blank with a little cross. I cannot figure out what is the problem during the export process. I have no problem at all with X3.

When I attempt to use Illustrator CS6 to open an .eps file exported from Google Sketchup Pro 8 I get the following error message "the file is an unknown format and cannot be opened".
If I try to place/link the file I get this message "can't place the illustration. Could not set a position inside the file." Is there an eps version compatibility issue I should be aware of?

I have created this script for selecting open paths in illustrator cs6 as the graffix plugin is not working under CS6.
Just save the following text in /Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS6/Presets/en_US/Scripts/Select Open Paths.js
if (documents.length > 0 && activeDocument.pathItems.length > 0){
var allPaths = activeDocument.pathItems;
var allPathsCount = allPaths.length;
var openPathsAreLocked = false;

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

I'm new to scripting What I want to do and don't know how to go about it is to run a script that collects the saved file name and the full path where the file is saved on the network and displays it on my document.

I'm using Illustrator for work and I love it, I never needed scripts yet. Now I have couple houndred svgs coming in per day, I would like to have a script that opens every svg one by one in the selected directory and add them to a pdf as pages of the same size and than save it.
How many files I could put in 1 pdf this way?
I'm using Illustrator CS5 on Win7 x64.

I'm using Vista 32. After updating to CS4 I can no longer open jpg files directly into PS by clicking on the file in windows explorer or an e-mail. After much searching and looking for file associations, I was able to get jpgs to open into Bridge from windows explorer, but still cannot get them to open directly in PS. When I attempt to open a jpg from an e-mail message, I get a window in Bridge pointed to a temp folder.

I use LR4.4 for cataloging my photos and most of my editiing. Periodically I will go from LR to Photoshop CS6 (like most everyone) for additional edits. Can I open a photo in ACR directly from Photoshop CS6 (not via Bridge?)
I want to go directly from LR to ACR in Photoshop without going through bridge. It seems if I have to use Bridge, I loose the connection between LR and Photoshop.

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.
I would like to script Illustrator with .jsx instead of AppleScript because I am more familiar with JavaScript (plus it's cross platform compatible).

So I just finally updated my OS and my Photoshop and just encountered something I wasn't expecting. I have an Epson GT15000 scanner(big one with a feeder) I installed all the drivers and everything and the scanner works fine, but I can't seem to open the scanner from Photoshop to scan directly into the program. I can open the scanner independently and scan it to a saved file and then open it in photoshop. But it only has limited file type options so I'm basically forced to save it as one file so that I can then open it in photoshop and resave it as something else which is kinda a rediculous in between step and also leaves me with extra files that need to be deleted. Since the scanner itself hasn't changed and still functions the same otherwise I'm assuming it's because I'm using a new version of Photoshop. I'm also assuming that I actually can scan in the program, just not in the way that I'm used to. I used to go to import, and the scanner would appear on the menu for me to select it.

I added CS6 COM reference in my VB.NET application and after that I have the following basic object creation in order to convert a eps file to svg. But for some reason when I create this COM object it is launching the Adobe Illustrator application. Why it is doing like this? It’s a simple COM object why it is interacting with Illustrator Editor?

I have a scriptUI generated palette which contains 26 icons linked to their respective scripts. When an icon is pressed, it invokes the required script via this:
searchPanel.children[0].onClick = function(){
searchOne.open("r");
var bt = new BridgeTalk;
[Code].....
My other scripts have "normal" functions that don't cause any problems, so I'm assuming it has something with BridgeTalk being loaded inside the palette function (since the code that's read in from the file is inserted at the location from where it's called).

how to place an image into illustrator via scripting with javascript, however I am having difficulties with text files. My code is:
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var Layer1 = myDoc.layers[0];
function getTextFile() {
return File.openDialog('Please select the text file to be imported:', undefined, undefined);
}
var myTextfile = getTextFile();
var myPlacedFile = Layer1.placedItems.add();
myPlacedFile.file = myTextfile;
But when I select a text file, it says it is an unsupported format. I'm assuming it has something to do with the extra options that come with importing a text document, specific for .txt and .doc for example.
For what it's worth I was working on an alternate method by read() ing in the contents of the .txt file and setting them equal to the contents of a textFrame, however it imported the text without carriage returns/newlines and I haven't been able to result that issue.
