Illustrator Scripting Training (Javascript, VBA)

New Here ,
Aug 05, 2019 Aug 05, 2019

Hi. I've been searching a lot on this subject, and I can't fnd any proper training to fit my needs. Im searching for a professional not to write, but teach me, dont mind between VBA or Javascript.

My main needs into Illustrator are making boolean operations between paths. Nothing more complex than that for now. We can talk about pricing and method via PM.

I don't mind getting a code from any existing script to solve my nearest problem. But I honestly prefer learning to do it by myself.

Maybe I could use some help from Excel in order to automate some stuff too, but it is not my main priority.

Thanks to all the community and people in here.

Sergio.

Could you please elaborate a little bit more about what kind of boolean operations do you want to do?
Are those as simple as existing ones in illustrator already, or something more specific?

Of course!

I just want to join two shapes. One is usually a text, taken from a dialog box at the start of the script (At least that is the intention) And the other one is a drawing (Usually a circle, or a shape)

I could also use difference (trim) for some designs but what I need the most is the union (unite) boolean.

And I'm also interested in learning the whole thing. In order to automate some tasks I can find too repetitive. Thing is that I dont know if it is possible.

Thanks! I'll write you a PM. And I'll also start on those tutorials on VBA because I can use Excel for some interesting stuff.

Thanks
