Illustrator Scripting :: How To Initiate Print Dialog
Jan 25, 2009I need to initiate print dialog. Action must be completely the same like pressing Cntr+P on keyboard.
When I use this code:
var colorOptions = new PrintColorManagementOptions();
colorOptions.name = "ColorMatch RGB";
colorOptions.intent = PrintColorIntent.ABSOLUTECOLORIMETRIC;
colorOptions.colorProfileMode = PrintColorProfile.SOURCEPROFILE;
[Code]...
I get error message: "Can't print the illustration. The Color Management setting are inconsistent."

Jul 20, 2012I'm writing a script to create a new AI document with a restricted swatchbook. The designer is supposed to use only the swatches/inks provided by this script. So far I was able to delete all current swatches and add a CMYK or RGB spotcolor swatch.
var inkt02 = app.activeDocument.spots.add();
inkt02.name = 'inkt 2';
inkt02.colorType = ColorModel.SPOT;
var kleur02 = new CMYKColor();
kleur02.black = 10;
kleur02.cyan = 80;
kleur02.magenta = 0;
kleur02.yellow = 90;
inkt02.color = kleur02;
var newSpotColor = new SpotColor();
newSpotColor = inkt02;
newSpotColor.tint = 100;
thePallet.addSpot(newSpotColor);
Often we will be dealing with Pantone colors. No need to define these, as they are inside AI already, right? But how to call them from the library? I'm new to ExtendScript.
Illustrator :: Automatically Print Data Set While Avoiding Print Dialog Box?
Aug 13, 2013My company is exporting Postcards in Illustrator CS6. What we do is have a large data set imported into the Variables applet and use the Actions applet to record and export action and play it through the whole data set. We later combine the PDF files and print them as a batch.
My question is: Is there a way to create an action that will automatically print the data set while avoiding the print dialog box? It will make the process simple and move faster.
Also, what are your was of creating postcards? Catalogs?
How do people create a catalog with over 60 pages and keep the file size low?

Illustrator Scripting :: How To Include Image In A Dialog
Dec 3, 2012I'm creating a dialog window for an Illustrator script, and would like to include a logo image.
The image file is 'mm_logo.png', and it lies in the same directory as the script itself. Here's the relevant fragment:
var dlg = new Window('dialog', '',[200,200,600,400]);// logodlg.logo = dlg.add("image", {x:25,y:0,width:139,height:67},undefined,'mm_logo.png');
Sadly the image fails to appear when I run the script (although the dialog itself and items such as panel lines and buttons do appear).
The documentation suggests I may need to supply the 'current' property of the 'Folder' class.
Illustrator Scripting :: Simple Dialog - Panel And Checkboxes
Dec 23, 2013I have very simple dialog - just one panel and few checkboxes. When I set panel as "undefined" everything works right, but when i set a size of the panel checkboxes disappear.
Works
var win = new Window ("dialog", "test");
var panelOpcje = win.add("panel", undefined, "Options");
var check1 = panelOpcje.add("checkbox", undefined, "check1");
var check2 = panelOpcje.add("checkbox", undefined, "check1");
win.show();
This doesn't work
var win = new Window ("dialog", "test");
var panelOpcje = win.add("panel", [0,0,400,300], "Options");
var check1 = panelOpcje.add("checkbox", undefined, "check1");
var check2 = panelOpcje.add("checkbox", undefined, "check1");

Illustrator Scripting :: How To Show The Color Picker Dialog
Feb 22, 2014how to show the color picker dialog in Illustrator programmatically?
In photoshop that's really easy, just:
app.showColorPicker(true);
In Illustrator I couldn't find any reference to such a method or other possibility to show the dialog programmatically, that you would normally get when double clicking on the fill color square within Illustrator.
Is that possible by using app.executeMenuCommand or some other method?
I am writing a script that opens the color picker dialog in reaction to a click on a button. I want to be able to get the chosen color and use it within the script.

Jun 1, 2012I'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)

Illustrator Scripting :: Creating Dialog Consisting Of Multiple Buttons
Apr 24, 2013I 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.

Photoshop :: Why It Would Take So Long For Print Dialog Box To Open After Selecting Print
Dec 5, 2012-PC based system running Windows Home Premium 64 bit8 GB ramLots of hdd spaceCS5.5 Master Suite
-Epson Sylus Photo R1900
Operating system, CS5 suite and printer drivers all updated.
When attempting to print a photo, it can take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes for the print dialog box to open up. It takes SO LONG that it appears that Photoshop has frozen, but it has not. The print dialog box opens eventually. This started about 2 months ago. I have looked at all preferences, assigned more RAM to Photoshop, uninstalled and reinstalled the entire suite, ran all updates, uninstalled and reinstalled the printer drivers - all to no avail.
I am at a loss as to why it would take SO LONG for the print dialog box to open after selecting print? I thought there may be a problem with the print spooler or print queue, but the slowness happens BEFORE the print back system is touched. The print queue is empty, and there is nothing stuck in there. I've checked.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIllustrator Scripting :: How To Automate Importing Variable And Datasets Into Graphs Via Scripting
Dec 18, 2012I'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?
