Hi Yall!
I have the creative cloud illustrator with which I'd like to process a bunch of files. Of course, for my processing needs, the file has to be outlined & expanded, etc, to ensure all the plugin items, text frames and strokes become just outlined shapes to mess with. I was excited about the potential of the doScript in illustrator to play any action, so I made a simple action which selects all and flattens transparency. This does seem to work, except for the part where it gives me this aler box of an error: "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error: [Parm]" .
The flattening process seems to have worked ok though, and the objects did become flattened. The error message can be turned off using the UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS , but wacky things happen with the display, such as the edges of paths become invisible and the preview redrawing gets all wiggy.
Does anybody have a better way to flatten the transparency, or is there something I'm missing?
The action is this:
/version 3
/name [ 7
466c617474656e
]
/isOpen 1
/actionCount 1
/action-1 {
/name [ 20
466c617474656e205472616e73706172656e6379
]
/keyIndex 0
/colorIndex 0
/isOpen 1
/eventCount 2
/event-1 {
/useRulersIn1stQuadrant 0
/internalName (adobe_selectAll)
/localizedName [ 10

/parameter-2 {

/showInPalette 4294967295
/type (unit real)
/value 300.0
/unit 592342629
}
/parameter-3 {
/key 1869902968
/showInPalette 4294967295
/type (boolean)
/value 1
}
/parameter-4 {
/key 1869902699
/showInPalette 4294967295
/type (boolean)
/value 1
}
/parameter-5 {
/key 1667463282
/showInPalette 4294967295
/type (boolean)
/value 1
}
}
}
and the script is this:
function test(){
app.loadAction('File.aia of the actions described above');
app.doScript('Flatten Transparency', 'Flatten', false);
}
test();
Thanks!
