I am scripting with Illustrator and originally wanted to utilize symbols in a document. My scripting worked just fine, but when output to a plotter driver the symbols would not print. They are recognized just fine when output to another printer, although I know that the two are different. I am told that plotter driver only recognizes vectors (understandable, of course) and that the symbols are raster which is why they are not recognized. I have a workaround that converts the symbols into images, but as this is a little out of my area of expertise, I would like to throw this out there if anyone knows for sure and can shed some further light on the subject.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
