Hello fellow scripters,
First Question:
I know that the scripts support Java, and I remember it supporting Basic but what other languages can I script in? Can I have the bulk of the script in Java then have parts in SQL?
Second Question:
I know how to make a script write text to an layer, and position using the (x,y) location but if I have multiple Art boards? I need to do the following;
Check for total number of art boards //Some files have 2 others have 3 and very few will have 4.
Take the art boards number, not the name and print it in the lower left (1,1) from the bottom.
I would need to run this batch on a folder that has sub folders of sub folders. They are all .ai or .pdf files and there are about 2k files. I've got about 2-3 months to do this but I wanted to write the script now so that I can have it done, this way I can run it on chunks of the files at a time.
I've never made a batch script, and I've never had to write a script that changes between art boards. I need to know how to tell Illustrator to Select an art board, I can create the for loop cycling through all the art boards and then I can tell it to save but how do I tell it to grab the next file in the folder and repeat?
