How can I quickly add an identical stroke color to a filled shape for hundreds of selected objects at the same time

I have an illustration with hundreds of small shapes thet are exactly adjacent. However Illustrator seems to show a small seem nonetheless.

Is there a way to select all my objects and have a script stroke them with the same color as theri individual fill?

Why don't you try just using Object>Path>Offset path and use a small number (>0.005 or so).

‌hi all,

In light of my having to solve this fast the option with offset path at least gets rid of the lines.

that way I can get them rasterized properly (Photoshop minimum filter does not get lower than a whole pixel)

Thanks for all your input!

as for running the script it should be saved as .jsx

then go to File>Scripts>Other Script... and choose the .jsx file you just saved

as for larger process, if this was just one stage in a larger script.

you may have a situation where you want to process 30 files.

along with this snippet you may want to fit to a set page size, export a low res PNG, save as a PDF, and log the number of pathitems per file to a textfile.

so now this snippet is just part of a larger process...

if you really want to do this with a script, (as it may be part of a larger process)

var doc = app.activeDocument;


var pths = doc.pathItems;


for(var i=0; i<pths.length; i++){


    var pth = pths;


    pth.stroked = true;


    pth.strokeWidth = .5;


    pth.strokeColor.cyan = pth.fillColor.cyan;


    pth.strokeColor.magenta = pth.fillColor.magenta;


    pth.strokeColor.yellow = pth.fillColor.yellow;


    pth.strokeColor.black = pth.fillColor.black;


}

‌HI qwertyfly,

I'll test out your script and see if that's the option I was looking for. I am curious about what you mean with 'part of a larger process'?

    ‌hi Larry,

    thanks for this suggestion. This way it would generate a lot of extra 'hard' geometry (running in the thousands of extra paths) so that would be a problem.

    It may be possible to achieve the offset suggestion via a live effect which may save on the extra paths. This could theoretically be applied via script in CS6+, it could probably be done by using both the live effect and the action-play workaround to make a new graphic style, selecting all and applying that style to the entire selection. Or, if there is a way to 'click' the graphic style button or apply the live effect to an entire selection, it could be done without having to use the action within the script.
