Hi All,

I need to check whether any character have opacity.  I tried the following codings, but it shows all characters as error.

var myframe = app.activeDocument.textFrames; 
for(i=0; i<myframe.length; i++) 
{     var myCharacters = myframe[i].characters;     for(j=0; j<myCharacters.length; j++)     {          if(myCharacters[j].opacity != 100)          {              alert("Error: Check some text has opacity")              }         }     } 

Regards,

Karthi

Hi,

I've made a nice palette script for Illustrator CS6 on OSX 10.6.8.

I put it into HD/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Startup\ Scripts\ CS6/Illustrator

I works fine in Illustrator.

BUT: If I start Indesign CS6, the palette show up twice and it is not possible to close both pallettes.

Any hints?

Next question: The palette is used to have an easy access to script. If I start the scripts with the palette, the error messages of the scripts are not displayed. If I start individal script directly in Illustrator errors are displayed. What can I do?

Thanks for your help.

How turn on or turn off setting in Preference -> Type -> Enable Missing Glyph Protection by Script?

Thank you.

I´m passing by a strange script behaviour. I´m trying to refine a script to export artboards as TIFF.

So suppose I started "var op = new ExportOptionsTIFF()"

And I set op.resolution = 250

Now I try to run this script via Extended Script Toolkit. I press play and it goes right...But If I make more tests I have this problem:

If I set a differnt resolution (for example, 365) the Script will ignore this new and will use the only value 250 defined in the past (in my first test). If, for a third time, I set another new value, the Extended Script will ignore this value and use the 365 I set in a previous test.

Look´s it´s recording the differnt values I put but it is always delayed one or two times :/

Do not know if I was able to better explain the problem.

Have you already passed by it?? Should I consider this as a problem? Or it´s only an Extendes Script software mistake?

Thank you a lot

Gustavo.

How to sort objects alphabetically (inside of a layer) on layer list?

I have already tried scripts for Layer sorting. They work indeed for the layers, but not the objects themselves packed inside.

this my code Load and unload a Action in Illustrator. But Action Set [Test_Set_Action] still exist after unload .

oIllustrator.loadAction("C:\Test_Set_Action.aia")

oIllustrator.unloadAction("Test_Set_Action", "CVCMYK")

How delete a Action Set [Test_Set_Action] after unload by Script?

Or check [Test_Set_Action]  still exist?

I am using a script that will allow me to change an illustrator asset link location from my high res asset library to low res asset library or thumb drive and back. I would like to change the script to change the thumb drive to a Box Sync folder. I am able to get the link path to switch from my HR or LR library to Box Sync, but not back from Box Syn to HR or LR.

I am running Mac OS 10.11.4 with Illustrator CC 2015 18.0.0.

Here is my two scripts. First is my thumb drive that works and then my Box Sync that works only one way.

First, I know nothing about scripting or writing code.  That being stated, I am trying to use a script to change the swatch names in a PDF file in Illustrator CC 2015 for the PC.  Below is what I have cobbled together.  When the script hits the doc.swatches line I receive a "i is undefined."  I also changed the name of the swatches for the privacy purposes.  Thank you.

var docs = File.openDialog("Select Files to Open", "*.pdf", true);

var idx = 0;

for (idx = 0; idx < docs.length; ++idx) {

    var doc = app.open(docs[idx]);

    var myCounter = 0;

    for (myCounter = 0; myCounter < doc.layers.length; myCounter++) {

        doc.layers[myCounter].locked = false;

    }

        doc.swatches[i].name = doc.swatches[i].name.split('SwatchA').join('AlphaSwatch'); 

        doc.swatches[i].name = doc.swatches[i].name.split('SwatchB').join('BetaSwatch');

}

I am making changes with code to the file. I want the user to be prompted to save as a .ai file first. I have that down. Now I am wanting to have the user immediately be prompted to save as a pdf with only the optimize for fast web view option selected. I believe it is an adobe preset of Smallest File Size.

The reason for wanting the prompt is because I want to save the files in 2 different locations.

Here is my code so far.....

var doc = app.activeDocument;
// Save as .ai file 
var fileName = doc.fullName; 
var thisFile = new File(fileName);
var saveFile = thisFile.saveDlg();
doc.saveAs (saveFile);


// Save as .pdf file
var pdfSaveOptions = new PDFSaveOptions(); 
pdfSaveOptions.pDFXStandard=PDFXStandard.PDFXNONE; 
pdfSaveOptions.compatibility = PDFCompatibility.ACROBAT5; 
pdfSaveOptions.preserveEditability = false;  
var pdfFile = new File(fileName); 
doc.saveAs(pdfFile, pdfSaveOptions);

I try find:

Illustrator CS6 can load and unload action by:

oIllustrator.loadAction("C:\Set_Action.aia")

oIllustrator.unloadAction("Set_Action", "")

But with Illustrator CS5 i can't find these Function.

Does Illustrator CS5 support function loadAction?

Hello gays!

Please, can anyone help me to write a script which converts a text frame with text inside to 2 threaded 2-columned text frames residing on different artboards? The size of the columned frames is equal but each time varies, so maybe the script can ask for the size? The gutter size is 3 mm, the font size should be 12 pt, the interline distance 14 pt. Thank you and sorry for bad English!

I guess the initial frame should be resized and then another text frame created on a new ab and then both threaded...

I currently have a javascript which amends swatches, but first I need it to "Add Used Colors" to generate the swatches from objects in the document. Is there javascript for this?

I have a map of the US that is broken down into counties.  Each state has its own layer and the counties are sublayers.  I am currently going through and naming all of the counties, but I need to be able to alphabetize them.  Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

In PhotoShop CS3, you can select File/Automate/Batch, and run an Action on an entire folder.  I don't see that option in Illustrator CS3?  Is there a way to run an action on an entire folder?

I'm attempting to save many EPS images as PNG images, and would really like to retain "vector attributes" - is any of this possible???

Thanks for any help.

I'm having difficulty writing a script that deletes all of the symbols in the document (as opposed to just breaking links or expanding which I apparently cannot do).

app.sourceDocument.symbols.removeAll();

When it reaches a symbol that's used in the document somewhere it spits out this error:

Error 1200: an Illustrator error occurred: 1346458189 ('MRAP')

If open a file by illustrator ,we can get the xmp infomation,

like this:

    doc=app.activeDocument;

    var xmlString = new XML(doc.XMPString);

Can I get a XMPString by JS, and do not open the file?

Thanks much!

I have a very complex graphic with many elements and I would like to find a way to hide layers based on a list.  In the documentation that there is a way to tell if a layer is hidden, but didn't see anything about a way to actually to control the hide/unhide property.  Is this possible?

Thanks!
