I need to know if there's a way to get the Artboard number from an "Imported by Reference" Adobe Illustrator file?
By looking at the Object Properties while the imported by Reference AI graphic is selected, I can see the file location and also the Artboard number, as shown below:
When getting the file location using InsetFile, the artboard number does not show as part of the file location.
Thanks.
I tried setting up an Illustrator CS6 file with three artboards. I imported each artboard into a separate anchored frame. Here is how ExtendScript shows the PageNum property for each one:
Artboard 1: -1
Artboard 2: 1
Artboard 3: 2
I am not sure if that pattern holds, but it is a place for you to start.

Did you try checking the Inset's PageNum property?

Seems like pattern holds. I created 30 artboards and I'm getting 29 for PageNum. I was expecting to be able to read the Artboard name but that might be a stretch.
Thanks!
