Just to expand on the doScript version... A action setup as below: will be called as: (function () {
app.doScript("Center", "Align");
})();

Hellos, The way i found works best is to locate the path that is being used to clip the group, duplicate and center this path and then amend the clipped group based on the paths position. Something similar to.. (function () {
function center(object, doc) {
var artboard = doc.artboards[doc.artboards.getActiveArtboardIndex()];
if (!artboard) return stop("unable to locate artboard");
var bounds = artboard.artboardRect;
var clip = getClippingPath(object);
if (!clip) return stop("unable to locate clipping path");
var copy = clip.duplicate(object.parent, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);
copy.position = [
bounds[0] + (bounds[2] - bounds[0]) / 2 - clip.width / 2,
bounds[1] + (bounds[3] - bounds[1]) / 2 + clip.height / 2,
];
matchCopy(object, clip, copy);
copy.remove();
}
function matchCopy(object, clip, copy) {
var clipTop = clip.left;
var clipTop = clip.top;
var bounds = copy.geometricBounds;
var objExtraLeft = clipTop - object.left;
var objExtraTop = object.top - clipTop;
var left = bounds[0] - objExtraLeft;
var top = bounds[1] + objExtraTop;
object.left = left;
object.top = top;
}
function getClippingPath(object) {
for (i = 0; i < object.pageItems.length; i++) {
var ipath = object.pageItems[i];
if (ipath.typename !== "GroupItem") {
if (ipath.typename === "PathItem") {
if (ipath.clipping) {
return cleanPath(ipath);
}
}
} else {
return getClippingPath(ipath);
}
}
}
function cleanPath(path) {
path.stroked = false;
path.filled = false;
return path;
}
function stop(reason) {
if (reason) alert(reason);
return false;
}
var doc = app.activeDocument;
center(doc.selection[0], doc);
})(); You could also create an action within your actions panel and call that action using app.doScript(actionName, setName);

Morning, I would suggest expanding them, mainly due to you and the printer possibly having different settings selected and what not. One example is that you could have 'Transform Pattern Tiles' enabled, allowing you to move the design without anything changing. Your printer could have this setting disabled and so the background has a possibility of changing if they were to move the design into a template. When sending off artwork, its best to just make everything as least prone to changes as possible - outlining text, embeding images, expanding patterns, etc. If you wanted to clean up the outline preview, you can expand strokes and use the pathfinder buttons, lil video down below. https://imgur.com/a/4NmQfub

I dont believe you can create patterns via scripts but i did come across this post and a solution by Carlos that maybe of use. https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/how-to-create-pattern-in-ai-script/m-p/9601219#M80221 By combining scripting with recorded actions you can achieve the required functionality, you just need to create an action that creates a pattern and then call that action via doScript(). After the action is ran, you can grab the last pattern in document.patterns[document.patterns.length - 1] (not tested but if i remember correctly, it will be the last item in there)

I achieved something like this by using a custom Adobe Bridge script that listened for folder changes, if a file of a certain format was found it ran a script and then moved the file to a completed folder. Worked well for what i required. If you're familiar with scripting, it maybe a good option. Believe this maybe the post or similar that i used to learn it https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop/watch-folder/m-p/4574941

Would you not just add a click listener to the OK button? As well as making your script more readable, if they close the script or exit the window nothing happens. For example... var button = parent.add("button", undefined, 'Ok');
button.onClick = function() {
//Do something when the ok button is pressed
};

Hello, I've had this issue myself when trying to save as PDF-X 2008 through scripts, the script would try to save it but would never actually use the preset? if you tried to save as a PDF the preset would be selected in the dropdown box though. Not quite sure why. This is also the case when using illustrator actions to save the PDF i believe. Sorry I'm of no use, just adding a bit more info, someone might be able to work with it

Would just be a case of a name check there is a line: var swatchRefName=docRef.swatches .name under that add something like this and wrap the rest of the code that is executed in an if statement: if(swatchRefName !== "Registration Black" && swatchRefName !== "None") { //The rest of the code to follow } Or if you want something you can easily amend in the future for new colours you want to ignore: if(shouldDisplay(swatchRefName)) { //The rest of the code to follow } function shouldDisplay(name) { var ignore = [ "Registration Black", "None" ] for (var i = 0; i < ignore.length; i++) { if (name == ignore) { return false; } } return true; } you'd just keep adding to the ignore array

Hellos, After getting stuck with a masking issue and illustrators scripting methods not giving me hope, i was shown the post for creating your own Actions Scripts Don't Move Opacity Masks Using Silly-V's answer i have made some helpful lil things to create/remove dynamic actions with multiple events when you need them that i thought people might want to use: ActionSet.js function ActionSet() { //Init vars this.version = 3; this.events = []; //Create action header this.createHeader = function() { return [ "/version " + this.version, "/name [ 10", " 44796e616d6963536574", "]", " /isOpen 0", " /actionCount 1", " /action-1 {", " /name [ 13 44796e616d6963416374696f6e ]", " /keyIndex 0", " /colorIndex 0", " /isOpen 0", " /eventCount " + this.events.length ]; }; //Add event to array this.addEvent = function(event) { this.events.push(event.join("\n")); }; //Compile all the events into an action string this.compileAction = function() { var events = this.events; if (events.length > 0) { //Create header var str = this.createHeader(); //Add actions for (var i = 0; i < events.length; i++) { str.push(" /event-" + (i + 1) + " {"); str.push(events); str.push("}"); } str.push("}"); //Join and return this.action = str.join("\n"); return this.action; } }; this.loadAction = function() { aiaFile = new File('~/DynamicAction.aia'); aiaFile.open("w"); aiaFile.write(this.action); aiaFile.close(); app.loadAction(aiaFile); aiaFile.remove(); }; this.execute = function() { //Compile this.compileAction(); //Load into AI this.loadAction(); //Run action app.doScript("DynamicAction", "DynamicSet"); //Remove from AI app.unloadAction("DynamicSet", ""); }; } Actions.js: function Actions() { } Actions.prototype = { align : { vertical : { top : function() { return alignEvent("18 566572746963616c20416c69676e20546f70", "4"); }, bottom : function() { return alignEvent("21 566572746963616c20416c69676e20426f74746f6d", "6"); }, center : function() { return alignEvent("21 566572746963616c20416c69676e2043656e746572", "5"); } }, horizontal : { left : function() { return alignEvent("21 486f72697a6f6e74616c20416c69676e204c656674", "1"); }, right : function() { return alignEvent("22 486f72697a6f6e74616c20416c69676e205269676874", "3"); }, center : function() { return alignEvent("23 486f72697a6f6e74616c20416c69676e2043656e746572", "2"); } } }, transform : { move : function(horizontal, vertical, copy) { return move(horizontal, vertical, copy); }, rotate : function(angle, copy) { return rotate(angle, copy); }, reflect : function(angle, copy) { return reflect(angle, copy); } }, pathfinder : { divide : function() { return pathFinderEvent("6 446976696465", "5"); }, trim : function() { return pathFinderEvent("4 5472696d", "7"); }, merge : function() { return pathFinderEvent("5 4d65726765", "8"); }, crop : function() { return pathFinderEvent("4 43726f70", "9"); }, outline : function() { return pathFinderEvent("7 4f75746c696e65", "6"); }, minusBlack : function() { return pathFinderEvent("10 4d696e7573204261636b", "4"); } }, selection : { all : function() { return selectAll(); } } }; /* * Selection */ function selectAll() { return [ "/useRulersIn1stQuadrant 0", "/internalName (adobe_selectAll)", "/localizedName [ 10 53656c65637420416c6c ]", "/isOpen 0", "/isOn 1", "/hasDialog 0", "/parameterCount 0", ]; } /* * Align */ function alignEvent(hex, value) { return [ "/useRulersIn1stQuadrant 0", "/internalName (ai_plugin_alignPalette)", "/localizedName [ 9 416c69676e6d656e74 ]", //Alignment "/isOpen 0", "/isOn 1", "/hasDialog 0", "/parameterCount 1", "/parameter-1 {", "/key 1954115685", "/showInPalette 4294967295", "/type (enumerated)", "/name [ " + hex + " ]", //Horizontal Align Center "/value " + value, "}" ]; } /* * Transform */ function move(horizontal, vertical, copy) { return [ " /useRulersIn1stQuadrant 0", " /internalName (adobe_move)", " /localizedName [ 4 4d6f7665 ]", //Move " /isOpen 0", " /isOn 1", " /hasDialog 1", " /showDialog 0", " /parameterCount 3", " /parameter-1 {", //Horizontal " /key 1752136302", " /showInPalette 4294967295", " /type (unit real)", " /value " + horizontal + (horizontal.toString().indexOf(".") == -1 ?

I thought this might be the case i had a look through the js doc and couldnt find anything of use either, just going to have to keep my eye out in the future and if i see anything missing (could be tricky at times) just have to go back and do the flatten transparency trick. Not going to be able to do it all the time as flattening the transparency removes overprints and named colours D: Thank your time to look at this issue, appreciate it!

No worries, thank you for having a look. Not sure if i'm missing something pretty simple or if it is something going on with the object itself. Hopefully you can see something im missing. Also, to add to my lil report. If you go to Object > Flatten Transparency and then keep the 'Preserve Alpha Transparency ticked, the script will work fine. Must be the make up of the object somehow

Hellos, Currently got an issue when trying to step artwork. This doesn't always happen but when it does, it can be a pain Here is the breakdown of the layers: http://prntscr.com/h5p9nr Here is what happens when i use the object.translate(x, y) function: Gyazo - a240e5de488c00c087820eb94ad1b500.gif and here is what happens when i change the position using object.position[x, y]; Gyazo - 5ccbe3e644e3648db674f2ac0ccaa5b0.gif .ai file and the .jsx file i used for testing: WeTransfer If you try to click the original object, you won't be able to click to the image thats on top when you ungroup the artwork. Cant see any attributes in the panels that might show when this happens or what might help. Anyone had similar experiences? Originally the object was in a bigger clipping mask (so should be all clipped up) and all the other objects were doing what they should but all the other duplicated objects would not display the shadow object. Kind regards Ben Mason

If you are doing a batch script best way is to make a temp path with stroke and fill colour of current colour then loop over each colour and doing both: app.executeMenuCommand("Find Stroke Color menu item"); app.executeMenuCommand("Find Fill Color menu item"); then checking document selection to see if there is more than 1 (or 2 sometimes not too sure why there is sometimes 2 even though it isn't used elsewhere). If you find its being used: store colour then loop over the list of colours drawing as u go If your are opening the document and then running the script you could just go to the swatches panel, click the options drop down top right and select unused colours -> drag to bin then run the script afterwards. That way you the only swatches it will be drawing are only the swatches currently in the document

If you'd prefer the file processing to be a separate method to help keep things tidy you could do something like this: This will also make sure you're only getting the inputs value once and also adds a numerical check to make sure your input is valid. var changesMade = 0; try { var gui = createGUI(); gui.show(); } catch (e) { alert(e); } function processfiles(values) { try { // Select folder that contains your files var dir = Folder.selectDialog("Select your file directory..."); if (dir != null) { var files = dir.getFiles("*.ai"); //Get all sub folders var folders = getSubFolders(dir, []); //Loop over folders for (var i = 0; i < folders.length; i++) { var folder = folders; // Only look for files with the .ai extension and collect them var folderFiles = folder.getFiles("*.ai"); for (var j = 0; j < folderFiles.length; j++) { files.push(folderFiles ); } } //Loop over files if (files.length > 0) { for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) { alert(files.length); var file = files; if (file.constructor == File) { var doc = app.open(file); //Do w/e it is you do with your files // Collect all of the open document pathItems var allPaths = doc.pathItems; // Loop through all of the open document pathItems for (var z = 0; z < allPaths.length; z++) { // Only look for a specific CMYK fillColor if (Math.round(allPaths .fillColor.cyan) == values.wrong.c && Math.round(allPaths .fillColor.magenta) == values.wrong.m && Math.round(allPaths .fillColor.yellow) == values.wrong.y && Math.round(allPaths .fillColor.black) == values.wrong.k) { // Change the fillColor properties allPaths .fillColor.cyan = values.right.c; allPaths .fillColor.magenta = values.right.m; allPaths .fillColor.yellow = values.right.y; allPaths .fillColor.black = values.right.k; changesMade++; doc.save(); } } // Close the document and save the changes //doc.close(SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES); doc.close(); } } } } } catch (e) { alert(e); } } // Go through subfolders as well function getSubFolders(dir, collection) { if (collection === undefined) collection = []; var files = dir.getFiles(); if (files.length > 0) { for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) { var file = files; if (file.constructor == Folder && file.name !== "") { collection.push(file); getSubFolders(file, collection); } } } return collection; } // Panel fields and information function createGUI() { var gui = new Window("dialog", "CMYK Correction Tool"); gui.alignChilren = ["fill", "fill"]; gui.orientation = "column"; var panelGroup = createGroup(gui, "row"); // Wrong CMYK var wrongPanel = createPanel(panelGroup, "Wrong CMYK Values"); var wrongCyan = createTextField(wrongPanel, "Cyan Value:", ""); var wrongMagenta = createTextField(wrongPanel, "Magenta Value:", ""); var wrongYellow = createTextField(wrongPanel, "Yellow Value:", ""); var wrongBlack = createTextField(wrongPanel, "Black Value:", ""); // Right CMYK var rightPanel = createPanel(panelGroup, "Right CMYK Values"); var rightCyan = createTextField(rightPanel, "Cyan Value:", ""); var rightMagenta = createTextField(rightPanel, "Magenta Value:", ""); var rightYellow = createTextField(rightPanel, "Yellow Value:", ""); var rightBlack = createTextField(rightPanel, "Black Value:", ""); var buttons = createGroup(gui, "row"); // Confirm button var confirmBtn = createButton(buttons, "Confirm", function() { processfiles({ right : { c : getText(rightCyan), m : getText(rightMagenta), y : getText(rightYellow), k : getText(rightBlack) }, wrong : { c : getText(wrongCyan), m : getText(wrongMagenta), y : getText(wrongYellow), k : getText(wrongBlack) } }); }); // Cel Button var cancelBtn = createButton(buttons, "Cancel", function() { gui.close(); }); return gui; } // Function to collect user input function getText(field) { var input = field.text; if (input !== undefined && input !== "") { try { return parseInt(input); } catch (e) { alert("invalid input: " + input + " please enter numerical values between 0-100"); } } return 0; } // Function to build panel function createPanel(parent, title) { // Create Panel var panel = parent.add("panel", undefined, title); panel.orientation = "column"; // Return panel return panel; } // Function to create button function createButton(parent, title, onClick) { // Create Button var button = parent.add("button", undefined, title); if (onClick !== undefined) button.onClick = onClick; // Return button return button; } // Function to create field in panel function createTextField(parent, title, content) { // Create a group for title and field var group = createGroup(parent, "column"); group.alignChildren = 'left'; // Create title var title = group.add("statictext", undefined, title); var field = group.add("edittext", undefined, content); field.preferredSize = [200, 23]; // Return the field as its all you'll use return field; } // Function to organize the panel layout function createGroup(parent, orientation) { // Create Group var group = parent.add("group"); group.orientation = orientation; // Return Group return group; }

Yeah easy fix, atm your confirm button is this: // Confirm button var confirmBtn = createButton(buttons, "Confirm", function() { try { gui.close(); } catch (e) { alert(e); } }); Replace that try { } catch (e) { } with the try catch block that takes a folder and opens the files. This will mean you'll have access to the vars and also only executes when pressed the confirm button

Is the extension signed? If not, might be a new CSXS file (CSXS.7 previously) / need to re enable debug mode Try open terminal and type: defaults write com.adobe.CSXS.8 PlayerDebugMode 1 and see if it will work? Not updated yet myself so can't check personally If this doesn't work, have you updated your manifest.xml file? <Host Name="ILST" Version="[22]" /> (add version 22 to the array) <Host Name="ILST" Version="[18.0,22]" /> to have multiple from start - end iirc
