How to import psd file in Illustrator through jsx ?

[Daksri]

Hi all,

I want to import a psd file in Illustrator with different option selected while importing . I am using -

var file_1 = new File(Path + "file.psd");

   PSDOptions = app.preferences.photoshopFileOptions;

    app.open(file_1, DocumentColorSpace.RGB, PSDOptions);  

But I am getting error- 

Error: unknown open options found

Hope anyone has answer to my query.

Thanks in advance !!

Hi @Daksri, I've never done this before, but when I tried it out just now, the result didn't seem very satisfying. To me, the API for this seems a bit rudimentary.

Here is the best I could do:

app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;

var myPath = '~/Desktop/';
var file_1 = new File(myPath + "file.psd");

app.preferences.photoshopFileOptionslayerComp = undefined;
app.preferences.photoshopFileOptionspreserveImageMaps = true;
app.preferences.photoshopFileOptionspreserveHiddenLayers = true;
app.preferences.photoshopFileOptionspreserveLayers = true;
app.preferences.photoshopFileOptionspreserveSlices = false

app.open(file_1);

Hopefully someone with more experience will chime in with a better result. 🙂
