Exporting Adobe Illustrator to Photoshop Script

 Apologies for what I suspect will be a relatively simple fix, I'm quite new to scripting/coding. I've been trying to figure out how to export a .ai file from Illustrator to a .psd Photoshop file.
 
When I attempt to export from .ai to .jpg, this code works fine:

 

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
myDoc.exportFile("C:/Users/Home/Downloads/Blank3.jpg", ExportType.JPEG)

 

However, I always get the error message 1320-Invalid Enumeration Value when I attempt the same with Photoshop like this:

 

var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
myDoc.exportFile("C:/Users/Home/Downloads/Blank3.PSD", ExportType.Photoshop)

 

I've checked the documentation, which specifically called out that for photoshop I must include the file
extension (PSD) in the file specification, but that hasn't helped. What am I doing wrong?

1.  The first arguement should be a file, not just a path.

2.  Despite what the documentation shows, the constant should be all caps.

 

app.activeDocument.exportFile(new File("C:/Users/Home/Downloads/Blank3.PSD"), ExportType.PHOTOSHOP);

It's probably something with the export options you need to set. Some of that stuff doesn't work without explicitly setting some of those options. Check this:

Thanks! Capitalizing the constant was what did it.
