Clicking a dialog from Applescript?

[Don_Rolling]

I'm processing a large number of files and many of these files came from a CS3 environment where the artboard is singular rather than plural. Anyhow, I think this is the reason that I'm getting a "Convert To Artboards" dialog when I open these files. If I hit OK, then everything is good, but this is an automated process and I need to do two things through script:

1. Detect when the aforementioned dialog is present

2. Press the OK button

Any ideas? A second option would be to preprocess all of these files, but I think I still run into the same issue if I want to automate that.

Don - Haven't had a chance to test yet, but have you tried the new properties in the OpenOptions data class for dealing with artboards?

Options -
convert crop area to artboard

convert tiles to artboard

create artboard with artwork bounding box

preserve legacy artboard

prevent dialogs from showing by setting the

UserInteractionLevel = aiDontDisplayAlerts

at the beginning of your code

and

UserInteractionLevel = aiDisplayAlerts

at the end of your code

above sample code works for VBA in Windows, do the quivalent for AS
