Remove clipping mask

I realize this is an old thread, but I ran across it while looking for a solution to removing multiple clipping masks scattered throughout a document.

If you need to remove all the clipping masks from a document, here is a pretty simple script that will check all the pageItems and remove any that are being used as a clipping mask.

Comment out the last line if you don't want to see how many paths were deleted.  Its not a necesarry feature, but I like to know how many objects get deleted when I run something like this.

#target Illustrator
// script.name = RemoveClippingMasks.jsx
// script.description = deletes all PageItems being used as clipping masks.
// script.parent = Kenneth Webb // 01/07/2013
// script.elegant = true?
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var clippingCount = 0
clipScan()
//loops through all pageItems, removing those that are clipping masks
function clipScan () {
    for (i=docRef.pageItems.length-1;i>=0;i--) { 
        if (docRef.pageItems.clipping == true){
            docRef.pageItems.remove();
            clippingCount++;
        }
    }
};
alert ("All "+clippingCount+" Clipping Masks Removed")

Cheers!
