Hello guys, I'm new in Adobe Community. I have to make a jsx file for graduation.
To complete this file, it needs to perform an operation like the html file posted below:

#target illustrator
//#targetengine session
var ppage= app.documents.add(DocumentColorSpace.RGB,600,300);
var area_1 = ppage.pathItems.rectangle( 250, 10, 200, 100);

Illustrator VBA scripting 101 - via Excel
This post will attempt to introduce newcomers to Illustrator Visual Basic Scripting (well, not actually vbs, but rather tru VBA, Visual Basic for Applications). I personally prefer vba over bvs for a number of reasons. First, I always have Excel and Illustrator open, so it makes sense for me use it to drive Ai. Second, I usually need to transfer data between the two programs. Third...I love the Excel IDE...ok, let's get right into it.
- Open Excel
- hit Alt+F11, to bring up the editor
- in the Tools menu, click on References...
- add a reference to "Adobe Illustrator CS5 Type Library"
- in the Personal.xls (or in any other book) add a Module. Personal is a global workbook that is always available. If you don't see it, go back to Excel and record a macro, anything will do. That will create the Personal file.
- and type the following in that module
- we have to continue the tradition and do the "HelloWorld" script
Sub helloWorld() Dim iapp As New Illustrator.Application Dim idoc As Illustrator.Document Dim iframe As Illustrator.TextFrame Set idoc = iapp.ActiveDocument Set iframe = idoc.TextFrames.Add iframe.Contents = "Hello World from Excel VBA!!" Set iframe = Nothing Set idoc = Nothing Set iapp = Nothing End Sub
- save Personal book
- open Illustrator and create a new document first
- to run, move the cursor anywhere inside the Sub...End Sub and hit F5
that's it for now...in the following posts we'll move the text to the middle of the page, create new documents, get data from an Excel Range to Illustrator, get data from Illustrator text frame to an Excel Range...and more, hopefully.
questions? comments?

embed all fonts in eps
I 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
var destFile = new File(decodeURI(doc.fullName).replace(/(?: \[Converted\])?\.eps$/, '.eps')); // also remove "[Converted]" from filename
var options = new IllustratorSaveOptions({}); // new save as options
options.compatibility = Compatibility.ILLUSTRATOR15; // save as CS5
options.embedICCProfile=true;
options.embedAllFonts=true;
options.pdfCompatible = true;
options.useCompression = true;
doc.saveAs(destFile, options); // save the file in the same foldere as the eps
// PART 3
doc.close(SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES); // close the file with saving
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.

New to Illustrator scripting, looking to make a Compound Path from Existing Paths/Compound Paths
I am wondering how to select existing paths (normal paths and compound paths) and make a new compound path. Google does nothing for me on this....
I have begun to understand the basics of targeting objects and doing some basic changes such as width, height, textFont, positioning and such...but the Scripting Guide is hard for me to wrap my head around as far as compound paths.
I am also having issues understanding the differences between object references that either do or don't have an "s" at the end. I assume there is some uniformity to why many object references have both. Could someone explain the reasoning?
Example
pathItem
pathItems
Thanks in advance!!

Illustrator script to select multiple layers
I have about 74 layers in illustrator and i want to run a script to select combination of layers at a time.
For e.g. I want 5 layers to be selected and save them as one .jpg. Then say i need to select other 3 layers to save it as a seperate .jpg file. If i do it manually it comes upto 300,000 images.
I can create a csv file with all layers to be selected presented in a row. I need help with the command to select 4 or more layers at a time, say if i have layer1, layer2, layer3, layer4 then a command to select those 4 layers and save them as a .jpg file.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

UI (Window, dialog, palette etc) reference info for AI scripting
I'm looking for standard reference info on UI elements like popup windows (dialogs, palettes etc). I've been through the Illustrator CS6 Javascript Scripting reference guide and also the CS6 Scripting guide, checking every mention of the words "Window", "Dialog", "Palette" etc (there aren't many), plus related terms like "edittext" and "slider" (which seemingly don't exist in these documents at all), and can't find what I'm looking for.
----------
I'm trying to script a simple info box that contains information generated by a script that doesn't need to be closed before the user continues working.
All I'm trying to find out is the basics. From looking at other scripts I've figured out that you can create a popup box like this:
var box = new Window('dialog', 'Some title');
var panel = box.add(panel, undefined, 'Panel title');
panel.add('edittext', undefined, 'Default value');
panel.add('slider', undefined, /*Default numeric value*/,/*min*/,/*max*/);
var group = box.add(group, undefined, 'Group title');
group = area_len_box.add('group', undefined, 'Title (not displayed)');
group.orientation='row';
group.closeBtn = group.add('button',undefined, 'Close', {name:'close'});
group.closeBtn.onClick = function(){
box.hide(); return false;
}...which is enough for a very rudimentary input system, but one which has to be closed before the user can return to their work - and I can't find any resource that gives the full options:
- What are the other options for 'new Window'? I'm aware of 'palette' which appears to need an array of four co-ordinates like [20,20,100,100], but it clearly needs something else too as every palette I've made instantly closes. And what else is there beyond Window and Palette?
- What other input devices are there beyond edittext and slider, and what parameters do they each need?
- What can go in the "undefined"s I see everywhere these are used?
- etc etc
There must be a reference to this somewhere, but I can't find it.

Batch replace color with another color
Hi,
I would desperately need some assistance in trying to accomplish batch editing of ai-files via JavaScript.
What I would need to do, is go through a number (many!) of files, find items with certain swatch color (referenced by its name), and replace the item-fill with another swatch-color (also referenced by its name). Then save the document with another name.
Other parts I have managed to do, except find/compare/modify the fill color of an item.
I have gone through these forums and tried a number of things to a point where I am currently very confused and frustrated
Some details (if it helps any), I'm using Illustrator CS3 and JavaScript.
Here's the closest where I got with trying to find a certain color and eventually changing it:
#target illustrator
var sourceFile, findColor, replaceColor;
sourceFile = new File().openDlg('Please select your Illustrator file…');
open(sourceFile);
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
findColor = docRef.swatches.getByName("vih");
// replaceColor not yet used anywhere
replaceColor = docRef.swatches.getByName("sin");
for(var obj = docRef.pageItems.length - 1; obj >= 0; obj--) { if(docRef.pageItems[obj].fillColor == findColor) { alert("Match found"); //It never seems to get here, so my comparison clearly is not working? } else { alert ("No specified color found!"); }
}
docRef.close();
(and yes, I'm completely new with java-scripting, so even this is constructed from bits of sample-scripts and other scripts found from these forums)
Please, I would really appreciate any help, this can't really be such a difficult task to do... can it?
BR,
Johanna

Editing the leading on a created textFrame
Hi,
I have no idea why the following code will not work.
The text displays in the correct place with the correct contents but i cannot get the leading to change.
var textInfo = app.activeDocument.textFrames.add();
textInfo.name = "textInfo";
textInfo.position = [30,-30];
textInfo.contents = "A";
textInfo.autoLeading = false;
for(var i = 0; i<app.activeDocument.textFrames["textInfo"].textRange.characters.length; i++){
app.activeDocument.textFrames["textInfo"].textRange.characters[i].characterAttributes.lea ding = 18;
redraw();
$.writeln(app.activeDocument.textFrames["textInfo"].characters[i].characterAttributes.lea ding);
}
I have also tried textInfo.leading = 18; with no luck.
The write line function at the end is reading the correct leading but the line above is not editing it.
Adobe illustrator CS6, Mac OS 10.6, Javascript/extendscript
Also, not too sure what auto leading does so have tried both with and without.
Thanks,
Tom
