Hi All,

Using my script,When i am trying to export in illustrator to png with name "My ILST File.png" it is saving as "My-ILST-File.png".

I wanted names with spaces.I don't want to use this file for html.So I think space will not create a problem and I am using exportOptions.saveAsHtml as false(default). so could anyone help me in this.my code is given below

var exportOptions = new ExportOptionsPNG24();

exportOptions.artBoardClipping = true;

var fileSpec = new File("c:\\My ILST File"+".png");

app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, ExportType.PNG24, exportOptions );

Thanks.

Bonjour,

Remplacer les espaces par "_"

et renommer le fichier.

var exportOptions = new ExportOptionsPNG24();

exportOptions.artBoardClipping = true;

var fileSpec = new File("c:\\My_ ILST_File"+".png");

app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, ExportType.PNG24, exportOptions );

fileSpec.rename("My ILST File.png");

de elleere

Tu peux aussi utiliser c:/My_ ILST_File"+".png");

Hello,

This is a bug in Illustrator whenever there is a space in the file name. It will replace space with the hypen(-) when exporting as png.

You can use the workaround for this

var exportOptions = new ExportOptionsPNG24();
     exportOptions.artBoardClipping = true;
     var fileSpec = new File("c:\\My ILST File"+".png");
     app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, ExportType.PNG24, exportOptions );
     fileSpec.rename('My ILST File.png');

Rename method will allow you to keep the file name as desired.

Yes, maybe for some reason

var exportOptions = new ExportOptionsPNG24();

exportOptions.artBoardClipping = true;

var fileSpec = new File("c:\\My ILST File"+".png");

app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, ExportType.PNG24, exportOptions );

exportOptions.artBoardClipping = true;

var fileSpec = new File("c:\\My_ ILST_File"+".png");

app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, ExportType.PNG24, exportOptions );
