How to embed multiple images

September 27, 2012, 4:43 am

≪ Previous: Transform Each

Hello!

I have been tying to figure out how I could easily embed multiple linked images easily. I have some 1000 .svg images which have about 1-7 .tif images linked in to them. I now need to get those links embedded and becouse of the amount of images I'm hoping to make an action out of it. I have a script to embed single image in .svg but haven't have luck with multiple embeddings.

Any ideas?

I was wondering if anyone is aware of a script that is able to do the same as this photoshop one http://www.agasyanc.ru/text-splitter, I would use that one in photoshop but its not working in CS6.

I was hoping to find a script that will seperate the text into layers ready for export to After Effects to be used in Kinetic Typography pieces

thank you

set the filename in a textframe with JS in Illustrator CS2 WIN

≪ Previous: Split Text into Layers

Hello and good morning (and sorry for my bad english),

I found some possibilities to set the filename in a textframe. But only in applescript or for CS (WS-dateandtime v0.8 from Wolfgang Reszel)
b There is no JS-script, which works correctly in Illu CS2 Win.

Please, help me to get a JS-script that proper works.
Here is the code:

----------------------
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// english //
// ----------------------
// -=> WR-DateAndTime <=-
// ----------------------
//
// A Javascript for Adobe Illustrator
// by Wolfgang Reszel (ai-js@rumborak.de)
//
// Version 0.8 from 30.8.2004 (also should work with Illustrator CS)
//
// This script inserts the actual date or the actual time to a
// predefined position in the document.
//
// To define the position, you'll have to create an textobject and
// execute this script while the object is selected. The whole object
// has to be selected and not words or letters. You can mark more
// objects, if you select each object separate and execute
// the script on it.
//
// With the placeholders {DATE} and {TIME} you are able to define a
// particular point, where the date or the time should be replaced.
// If there is no placeholder in the textobject
// "{FILENAME} ({DATE}, {TIME})" will be used as standard placeholders.
//
// To update the date and time execute this script without any object
// selected.
//
// There are some additional placeholders:
// {FILE} - complete document-filename with path
// {FILEPATH} - only the documents filepath
// {FILENAME} - the filename of the document
//
// On my system this script can't see the path of the document, when
// it was opened directly from windows Explorer (double click).
//
// In Illustrator CS it is now possible to edit a DateAndTime-Object.
//
// To enable the english messages and date-format change the "de"
// into "en" in line 90.
//
// Sorry for my bad english. For any corrections send an email to:
// ai-js@rumborak.de

// eine vorher bestimmte Stelle im Dokument ein.
//
// Um eine Stelle zu bestimmen, muss man ein Textobjekt erzeugen, es

// ausgewaehlt sein, nicht etwa Buchstaben oder Woerter. Es lassen sich
// nacheinander auch mehrere Objekte als Datum/Uhrzeit markieren.
//
// Mit den Platzhaltern {DATE} und {TIME} (in geschweiften Klammern)
// kann man bestimmen, wo genau im Text das Datum und die Uhrzeit
// erscheinen soll. Sind die Platzhalter nicht vorhanden, wird
// automatisch "{FILENAME} ({DATE} - {TIME})" verwendet.
//
// Zum Aktualisieren des Datums/Uhrzeit muss man dieses Skript aufrufen
// wenn kein Objekt ausgewaehlt ist.
//
// Es gibt noch einige zusaetzliche Platzhalter:
// {FILE} - kompletter Dateiname mit Pfad
// {FILEPATH} - nur der Verzeichnispfad des Dokuments
// {FILENAME} - der Dateiname des Dokuments
//
// Auf meinem System kann der Pfad nicht ermittelt werden, wenn das
// Dokument vom Windows Explorer geoeffnet wird (Doppel-Klick).
//
// InÿIllustrator CSÿkann man nun ein Datum/Uhrzeit-Objekt bearbeiten.
//
// Um dieses Skript mit deutschen Meldungen und Datumsformat zu
// versehen, muss in Zeile 90 das "en" durch ein "de" ersetzt werden.

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.

≪ Previous: ACROBAT via BRIDGE TALK

Is it possible to create script that will take object (Text and Images) form one and AI file and placed them into another AI file in specific layer and location?

When I do it manually:

#1 - Create Banner Design (Text and Images)

# 2 - Outline the text and group it with images to make it one object.

# 3 - Copy the group object

# 4 - Open another Ai file

# 5 - Paste it into specific layer and adjust location

We do this to individually customize documents and it is very time consuming.

Feel free to contact me directly, we will consider to hire programer to help us.

≪ Previous: ScriptUI listbox click events CC

I'm trying to build a javascript tool in ExtendScript Toolkit CC to work with Illustrator CC (2015) but have run into a snag.

The script will create an object (a small circle in this case) at the mouse's current position within the document's active layer. But I can't seem to find a call in the library to retrieve the location info. I know that the data is tracked because if I open the "Window > Info" tool it shows the cursor's X and Y position in relation to the document bounds.

Is there a call anywhere in the javascript library that gives me access to these data points?

The script and library will both be located in the Adobe Illustrator Presets.

I am trying to reduce the amount of actions required by the user so that they only need to run the script without having to open the graphic style library first.

Hi,

I've managed to select elements on a source file but it fails when copying. The selection should be copied on targetFile.

There is like 5 to 10 files by sourceFolder (there is an error in opening each file but this is not the matter for now - only the first one is openend)

var targetFile = app.documents.add(); //this is my output file - it works

folder = Folder.myDocuments; //this paragraph works for now

sourceFolder = folder.selectDlg("source");

for ( i = 0; i < files.length; i++ ){

var sourceDoc = app.open(files[i]);

var doc = app.activeDocument;

for (i = 0; i < doc.pageItems.length; i++) {

doc.pageItems[i].selected = true;

}

var mySel = app.activeDocument.selection; //this paragraph need rework

newItem = mySel[0].duplicate(); //mysel.duplicate() is not a function

}

Thanks I copy a document, resize it and place it then I print the output
