Preferably, I would like to find a way to run the PowerShell script from the ExtendScript. I won't be the end user for this script, so eliminating the need to leave Illustrator is preferred.
Here is the extendscript:
var employees = {
Admin1: "***insert your comp profile name here***",
};
getKeys(employees);
password();
function password() {
var popUp = new Window("dialog");
popUp.text = "Daily Art Fetch";
popUp.orientation = "column";
popUp.alignChildren = ["center","top"];
popUp.spacing = 10;
popUp.margins = 16;
var textGroup = popUp.add("group", undefined, {name: "textGroup"});
textGroup.orientation = "row";
textGroup.alignChildren = ["left","fill"];
textGroup.spacing = 10;
textGroup.margins = 0;
var textPan = textGroup.add("panel", undefined, undefined, {name: "textPan"});
textPan.text = "Password";
textPan.orientation = "column";
textPan.alignChildren = ["left","top"];
textPan.spacing = 10;
textPan.margins = 10;
var password = textPan.add('edittext {properties: {name: "password"}}');
password.preferredSize.width = 150;
password.active = true;
password.text = "layout2023";
var buttonGroup = popUp.add("group", undefined, {name: "buttonGroup"});
buttonGroup.orientation = "row";
buttonGroup.alignChildren = ["left","center"];
buttonGroup.spacing = 10;
buttonGroup.margins = 0;
var cancButton = buttonGroup.add("button", undefined, undefined, {name: "cancButton"});
cancButton.text = "Cancel";
cancButton.preferredSize.width = 75;
var enterButton = buttonGroup.add("button", undefined, undefined, {name: "enterButton"});
enterButton.text = "Enter";
enterButton.preferredSize.width = 75;
enterButton.onClick = function() {
if (password.text == "layout2023") {
popUp.close();
searchFiles();
} else {
alert("These are not the droids you are looking for")
popUp.close();
}
}
popUp.show();
}
function searchFiles() {
// Create a new dialog window
var dialog = new Window("dialog", "Excel Files");
// Add a panel to the dialog window
var panel = dialog.add("panel", undefined, "File Information");
panel.alignChildren = ["fill", "top"];
panel.margins = 20;
// Add a static text to the panel
var layoutArtistLabel = panel.add("statictext", undefined, "Layout Artist:");
layoutArtistLabel.preferredSize.width = 100;
// Add a dropdown list for month selection to the date group
var empList = panel.add("dropdownlist", undefined, undefined, {name: "Emp", items: keys});
empList.selection = 0;
// Add another static text to the panel
var dateLabel = panel.add("statictext", undefined, "Date:");
dateLabel.preferredSize.width = 100;
// Add a group to the panel for date input
var dateGroup = panel.add("group");
dateGroup.alignChildren = ["left", "center"];
// Add a dropdown list for month selection to the date group
var monthList = dateGroup.add("dropdownlist", undefined, ["01", "02", "03", "04", "05", "06", "07", "08", "09", "10", "11", "12"]);
monthList.selection = 2;
// Add a dropdown list for day selection to the date group
var dayList = dateGroup.add("dropdownlist", undefined, ["01", "02", "03", "04", "05", "06", "07", "08", "09", "10", "11", "12", "13", "14", "15", "16", "17", "18", "19", "20", "21", "22", "23", "24", "25", "26", "27", "28", "29", "30", "31"]);
dayList.selection = 26;
// Add a dropdown list for year selection to the date group
var yearList = dateGroup.add("dropdownlist", undefined, ["2021", "2022", "2023", "2024", "2025", "2026", "2027", "2028", "2029", "2030"]);
yearList.selection = 2;
// Add a group to the dialog window for buttons
var buttonGroup = dialog.add("group");
buttonGroup.alignChildren = ["center", "center"];
// Add a cancel button to the button group
var cancelButton = buttonGroup.add("button", undefined, "Cancel");
cancelButton.onClick = function() {
dialog.close();
};
// Add an ok button to the button group
var okButton = buttonGroup.add("button", undefined, "OK");
okButton.onClick = function() {
var layoutArtist = employees[empList.selection];
var month = monthList.selection.text;
var day = dayList.selection.text;
var year = yearList.selection.text;
var date = month + "/" + day + "/" + year;
dialog.close();
var logText = "$directory = '***\\YOUR\\DOCUMENT\\FILEPATH\\Here'\n$files = Get-ChildItem -Path $directory -Filter *.pdf | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime.date -eq '" + date + "' -and (Get-Acl $_.FullName).Owner -eq '" + employees[empList.selection] + "'}\nforeach ($file in $files) {\n$name = $file.FullName\n$owner = (Get-Acl $file.FullName).Owner\nAdd-Content -Path \"$HOME\\downloads\\PDFFileNames.txt\" -value $name\n}"
var filePath = "~/Downloads/DailyArtPS.ps1"
writeTask(filePath, logText);
alert("Please run the PoweShell script\nin your Downloads folder");
openDailyArt();
removefiles('DailyArtPS.ps1')
removefiles('PDFFileNames.txt')
};
// Show the dialog window
dialog.show();
}
function getKeys(arr) {
keys = [];
for (var k in arr) {
keys.push(k);
}
return keys;
}
function writeTask(filePath, logText) {
var file = new File(filePath);
file.open("w")
file.write(logText);
file.close();
}
function openDailyArt() {
// Define the file path to the text file containing the list of PDF file names
var filePath = '~/downloads/PDFFileNames.txt';
// Open the file
var file = File(filePath);
// Check if the file exists
if (file.exists) {
// Read the contents of the file
file.open('r');
var contents = file.read();
file.close();
// Split the contents into an array of lines
var lines = contents.split('\n');
// Loop through each line and open the corresponding file
for (var i = 0; i < lines.length - 1; i++) {
var pdfFile = File(lines[i].replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, ''));
if (pdfFile.exists) {
app.open(pdfFile);
} else {
alert('File not found: ' + lines[i]);
}
}
}
}
function removefiles(sourceFileName) {
var sourceFolderPath = '~/Downloads/';
var sourceFilePath = sourceFolderPath + sourceFileName;
var sourceFile = new File(sourceFilePath);
if (sourceFile.exists) {
sourceFile.remove(sourceFilePath);
}
}
Line 3: Insert your 'owner name'/username for you computer. Ex 'AD\krburns' from the screenshot above
Line 123: the line where the PowerShell is written. You will need to replace that with a file path where you have PDF files if you are running it.
