Hi everyone,
I would like to execute script actions on several files using registered action scripts. 
For each I need to : unlock all the layers / select all the objects and vectorize texts / register in .ai (a client would like I convert lots of pdf in ai)
Register in .ai works well but unlock layers and vectorize does'nt work, an error message pops up when I execute the script.

Do you have any idea of how to do that and if that's possible? 

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi, thank you for your message, I am talking about Illustrator.
Well I did again the action script and It worked this time, sorry I don't know why It didn't work before.
I send a screenshot of the script, in case It could be useful for anyone.

Thanks again! Wich you a good day.

Just in case: are you talking about InDesign, Photoshop, or another app? If Photoshop, then try to post your question here:

In any case, also include a screenshot of the error message that pops up.

Hi @leo.r ,

I suppose the question is about Adobe Illustrator.

( Suffix *.ai )
