Batch convert eps files to CMYK

[gabriellecdon]

I have 35 individual eps files that I need to convert to CMYK colour mode. Is it possible to run a batch process in Illustrator or Bridge? Otherwise I will have to open, convert and save each one individually 😭

You can create an action while recording the open, convert and save process and use Batch from the Actions panel menu to play it on a folder of .eps files.

hey @gabriellecdon  try this

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var cntDocs = app.documents.length;
for(i=0;i<=cntDocs -1; i++){
    app.executeMenuCommand('doc-color-cmyk');
    app.executeMenuCommand("save");
    app.executeMenuCommand("close");
}

Try following snippet

var folder = Folder.selectDialog("Select folder");
if (folder != null) {
    var _files = folder.getFiles("*.eps")
    for (var f = 0; f < _files.length; f++) {
        app.open(_files[f]);
        app.executeMenuCommand('doc-color-cmyk');
        app.executeMenuCommand("save");
        app.executeMenuCommand("close");
    }
}

Before running this, you can keep your all eps files in one folder and choose the folder after running the script. The above script will open each eps file exists in the folder and convert to cmyk, save and then close it.
