anybody please help me !!! i am strucking with this code

I don't believe there is a way without restarting illustrator, I remember reading in the official notes/documents somewhere that its a known problem and the only solution is to restart illustrator. I suspect its just memory leaks in illustrator which Adobe have got around to fixing because the average user wont encounter the problem.

Also the JavaScript engine in Illustrator is persistent, so any memory leaks there will also be a problem or require a restart.

Perhaps modify your code to check the destination folder, and if the file has already been processed and saved then skip it, that way you can just re-start illustrator and get the script to pickup from where it left off.

Just saw this post. I had the same challenge. Probably too many large files. I was successful uninstalling Illustrator and reinstalling it....working for now!!

how to solved this problem

Hello @abdul_sithik_4470,

Would you mind trying the suggestions shared in this help article (https://adobe.ly/3DsX2kh) to see if they help? If the problem persists, kindly share more details, like the version of the OS/Illustrator and your system specs (CPU/GPU/Memory), check if Illustrator behaves this way with particular files, and if yes, share a link to a sample file here after uploading it to a file-sharing service, so I can check it with the team.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
