Eps file to .Tiff

[Maria_prabhudoss]

Dear all,

Could you please advice me how to "Export As (or) Save As" .eps file to .tiff(not .psd) in "illustrator cs" via scripting.

Thanks..

Another one of the many things you can do from the UI in Illustrator but not from a script. There is no ExportTIFF option listed in the Scripting Reference.

Could you please explain about UI in Illustrator.

Open the EPS file in Illustrator. From the File menu choose Export. From the Export Options choose TIFF and set the properties you want. You can do this manually but you cannot from a script as the TIFF export is not exposed to scripting. If you were using a Mac you could set up an action and use the doScript command but this function is broken in JS or VB.

I've been thinking....If Illustrator won't help, why not get reinforcements?

here's how to do it scripting photoshop with VBA

'// saves the activedocument in the PhotoShop application as TIF

Sub photoShopTifSave()

    Dim PSapp As New Photoshop.Application

    Dim tifOpts As New Photoshop.TiffSaveOptions

    PSapp.ActiveDocument.SaveAs "C:\tifftest.tif", tifOpts

End Sub

tha's all it takes
