Illustrator Scripting :: Get Layers By Name VBA?

Apr 7, 2012

Is it possible to reference layers or groups by their names instead of their index using VBA? If so, what is the sytax? I know you can do it in Extendscript, but I'm not finding info for VBA.

Illustrator Scripting :: How To Export JPG

Jan 15, 2014

Quite new to Ai's scripting stuff.
 
I'm having a complicate time with Ai's save to jpg options vs artboard sizes and units conversions.
 
Say, i have a doc (from my client), which they inherited and enhanced for 10 years may be.
 
It's "supposed" to be in millimeters, but artboardRect gives me those values :

-0.27880000000005
436.191388980878
646.457
-0.20900000000074
 
which sound like weird points or pixels.
 
I need to export a jpg (or gif, or png), that will be X pixels wide. For the purpose of the test i set it at 1200.
 
var maxLargeurPx = 1200;
 
First thing, getting the artboard's width :
 
largeurArtboard = Math.abs(thisArtboardRect[2]-thisArtboardRect[0]);
// 646.7358
 
Then i try to have a multiply factor to use
 
coefExport = /*Math.round*/ (100 * maxLargeurPx / largeurArtboard);
// 185.54717397738
 
and then set my ExportFile jpg to this value (i can't give it a number)
 
     // exportOptions.horizontalScale = coefExport
 
That's when it's getting fun : my images are 1204 px wide with or without clipping.
 
Of course, i "can't" resize the doc for each export, especially expecting to have dozens of those, with different values, dimensions, etc.

Illustrator Scripting :: Move Layers To New Artboard

Feb 18, 2013

I'm trying to create a script via javascript for Illustrator.
 
My problem is : I have a AI file with multiple layers, i want to create one artboard per layer, in order to export a multipage PDF ( each page contain 1 layer ).
 
The layers represents the differents type of print ( vernish, color, hot gold, pressure ... ) and/or color type ( Pantone, CMYK, cut, kisscut ... ). My client want a PDF for see each type of print or color type per page.
 
I'm trying 2 ways :
 
1st solution : Create new artboards, and duplicate ( or move ) layers content on the new artboad, but the function move/duplicate don't work to move content on another artboard.
 
2nd solution : Create new document with the same number of layers as artboard and duplicate layer to the new artboard on the new document.

Illustrator Scripting :: Loop Through All Layers And Sublayers?

Apr 26, 2012

is there a way that I can loop through all layers and sublayers looking for a name of a layer? I have one that loops through only top level layers. I am thinking I have to somehow incorperate all pathItems, groupItems and the like to incorperate all types of "layers" there might be, since a group is technically not a layer but a groupItem.
 
this is what I am doing so far:
 
for (var i = 0; i < numberOfLayers; i++) {
var customName = "div structure";
var myLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[i];

[Code]....

Illustrator Scripting :: Deleting And Replacing Layers?

May 1, 2013

So I'm trying to create a fairly simple script that will measure the size of art on the artboard for making printing plates. That part I have working. But once I have made one file, I have to delete the measurements layer manually (which is where the script puts them) so that I can make the next one. I need the script to check and see if there is a layer called "measurements" delete it and then create a new one called "measurements" in which to put the dimensions of the (new) artwork. This way I can keep making files and "saving as" with a new name.

Illustrator Scripting :: How To Export Properties From Document To XML

Dec 8, 2012

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 ...)

Illustrator Scripting :: Export Canvas Via Script (using CS4)

Apr 17, 2012

I have a dependence on another JavaScript-library. I wanted to use SVG, but somehow we got an integration with HTML5-Canvas and a deadline. To export files from Illustrator I am using the AI->Canvas plugin. I was wondering if you can export a custom file via Illustrator Script (JavaScript) into an <canvas>(*.html) (can't seem to find it in the CS4 JavaScript reference) and are you able to combine AJAX-calls using jQuery via Illustrator Scripting as well.

Illustrator Scripting :: Batch Export AI Files To PDF

Nov 25, 2012

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.

Adobe permits you to use, modify, and distribute this file in accordance with the termsof the Adobe license agreement accompanying it.  if you have received this file from a source other than Adobe, then your use, modification,or distribution of it requires the prior written permission of Adobe.
 
This sample gets files specified by the user from the selected folder and batch processes them and saves them as PDFs.
 
Edits by Patrick Mineault:
- only .ai files processed
- files saved in same folder as the input files
- export files have name (oldname).pdf
- PDF settings: editable / acrobatLayers=true for maximum compatibility with Preview
 
// Main Code [Execution of script begins here]
// uncomment to suppress Illustrator warning dialogs
// app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
var destFolder, sourceFolder, files, fileType, sourceDoc, targetFile, pdfSaveOpts;
// Select the source folder.
sourceFolder = Folder.selectDialog( 'Select the folder with Illustrator .ai files you want to convert to PDF');
[code]...

Illustrator Scripting :: Export Artboard As A JPEG

Jan 29, 2014

See title - is this possible?
 
I've made this small script to test a few things, before moving on to the bigger stuff (some of it have been cut out, since it's not important):

        var exportOptions = new ExportOptionsJPEG();
        var type = ExportType.JPEG;
        var fileSpec = new File(dest);
        exportOptions.antiAliasing = false;
        exportOptions.qualitySetting = 70;
        exportOptions.artboardRange = "3";
        app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, type, exportOptions );
 
I'm trying to export artboard #3 as a JPEG. But it doesn't work.

According to the scripting reference guide, most of the "ExportOptions"-functions support the artboardRange-parameter, but alas - JPEG does not.
 
Is there another way to do this? Right now I'm only getting all the artboards into a single JPEG-file, which is not what I'm searching for

Illustrator Scripting :: Renaming Layers To Be The Text Inside

Oct 9, 2013

I've got an Illustrator CS6 document that has 500+ layers with individual words on them (a word cloud).  I'm needing to animate this in AE.  When I "Release to Layers (Sequence)", all of the layers become Layer 1, Layer 2, etc.  Is there a script that will rename all of those layers to be the text inside them? 
 
i.e. Layer 1 has the word "Pencil" as a sub-layer, editable text.. I need to rename the Top-Layer Layer 1 to "Pencil".  I'm hoping there is a script that can do this so I don't have to manually rename all of the layers.I have found this script:
 
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
var ilayer = idoc.activeLayer;
for (i=0; i<ilayer.layers.length; i++) {
    var isublayer = ilayer.layers[i];
    isublayer.name = isublayer.pageItems[0].name;
}
 
But is doesn't seem to do what I need.

Illustrator Scripting :: Convert Layers In Document To Artboards?

Script 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.

Illustrator Scripting :: Export JPG A Series Of Images From AI File

Dec 13, 2012

I'm using a Javascript that will export as JPG a series of images from an AI file (that part is working fine), then rename them (that part isn't working). Writing and troubleshooting with Extendscript.
 
Trying to eliminate as many possible places to go wrong, I came up with the following:
 
myfile = new File; myfile = myfile.openDlg();
var newName = "NEW.ai";
myfile.rename(newName);
 
When run targeting Illustrator, it does nothing.

When run targeting ExtendScript, for some reason this blasts the file into oblivion, never to be found again.

Illustrator Scripting :: Export Custom Views To PNGs?

It seems Illustrator's "Views" are the closest equivalent to Photoshop's Layer Comps.
