Print specific artboard (javascript)

[ThomasBB83]

Hello,

I'm trying to make a small script that loops through a folder, opens each document and prints artboard 3. I figured it was pretty trivial, but it's not

Here's the main part of the code. I set the print options and select artboard 2 (i assume the index starts at 0). But it's like Illustrator completely ignores any printoptions I set. It prints all of my artboards, no matter what I do. Also, I'm unable to debug in the Extendscript Toolkit, since it throws a run-time error.

Can anyone take a look at this?

Thanks in advance!

	options = getPrintOptions( );
	for ( i = 0; i < files.length; i++ )
	{
	sourceDoc = app.open(files); // returns the document object;
	sourceDoc.print(options);
	}

function getPrintOptions()

{

    // Create the PDFSaveOptions object to set the PDF options

    var printJobOptions= new PrintJobOptions();    

    var options = new PrintOptions();

    options.jobOptions = printJobOptions;

    options.printAllArtboards = false;

    options.artboardRange = "2";

    return options;

}

Hi, the artboard range is property of PrintJobOptions, not PrintOptions.

function getPrintOptions() {
    // Create the PDFSaveOptions object to set the PDF options
    var printJobOptions = new PrintJobOptions();
    var options = new PrintOptions();
    printJobOptions.printAllArtboards = false;
    printJobOptions.artboardRange = "3"; // the index start at 1, not 0.
    options.jobOptions = printJobOptions;
    return options;
}

Thanks moluapple. Much appreciated. It makes sense it wasn't working then!
