call actions through javascript

[dhishok]

Hi Everyone,

Currently i'm doing automations for Adobe Illustrator CS4. I have created some actions due to the limitations of scripting in Illustrator. I need to call this actions through javascript.

But in applescript i can able to call the actions by using the do script method.

Can anyone help me in this regard.

Thanks in advance

Sorry I can't… Im mac only so I use either Adobe's ESTK or AppleScript… It should just be 2 name strings though… Sort of 'do script actionName of actionSetName' don't know why it's called do script? Others here can help you though…

May this can help you. VBS version:

Set appRef = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application")

'action name "Convert to grayscale", action set"action1"'
appRef.DoScript "Convert to grayscale", "action1"

'sleep 2 sec, waiting for the action complete, this is needed if you want to do something else'
WScript.sleep 2000

' then do something else here
