Illustrator batch action... slow and even slower after short time

Thank you for the more detailed reply, now we are getting somewhere!

Hey, I’m glad that you could figure out how to edit the EPS code to remove the white background and convert the RGB to 100K only.

Now that you can simplify your action, does it run any faster?

Could working out how to do this via scripting improve the batch speed? As I said earlier, even if it takes 1 second to process a QR code, this is still at least 50,000 seconds, however it sounds as if you don’t have many options, some post processing is still going to be required.

I uploaded a small part of qr codes with the action here

I have tried outlines preview etc, everything in the matter... but nothing helped

I don't have to do it everyday... just one time... but now i have 50.000 to process but in the future they will be 500.000 in total

Another option could be to include initial steps to view the artwork in Outline mode and to perhaps zoom in multiple times in order to “simplify” the screen redraw to hopefully make the batch action run faster.

I think there's a statement that says your batch process for Illustrator should be in batches of 500 for safety.

How many files does it go through before it stops?

Try  the following to increase the action speed:

To not show the layout, try starting with one blank document that is sized down very very small in your OS. Have your general settings open new documents as tabs so that any new document opened will also be sized very small. Also you can hide all Illustrator palettes with the Tab key.
