The problem is that im using a third party app. (Enfocus Switch) to run illustrator. I need to export low version of ai or eps. Default is the highest. Old cutting plotter only works with low version files. I know that the script is quite simple, but my knowledge of scripting is very weak. I will be grateful if you help. I have a more complex startup script from an application, it is not suitable for.

    // Save as Ai 8
    var dest = $outfolder + "/" + $filename + ".ai";
    var originalInteractionLevel = userInteractionLevel;
    var saveName = new File ( dest );

    userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;

    saveOpts = new IllustratorSaveOptions();
    saveOpts.compatibility = Compatibility.ILLUSTRATOR8;
    saveOpts.generateThumbnails = true;
    saveOpts.preserveEditability = true;
    $doc.saveAs( saveName, saveOpts );
