Rasterize Multiple Objects While Keeping Them Separate?

[GotToTeach]

Is it possible to write a script that will do the following?

1. Rasterize multiple selected objects while keeping objects separate (not one image).

2. Keep objects at 300 dpi with a transparent background.

3. Ignore invisible and locked layers.

Effect menu > Rasterize should do it, possibly followed by Object menu > Expand Appearance.

Thank you. I tried that, but Expand Appearance is greyed out after I rasterize.

Expand Appearance should be available.

What happens if you:

- Draw 3 circles

- Effect menu > Rasterize with your desired settings

- Object menu > Expand Appearance

Is the Expand Appearance command still greyed out?

ahhh. I see what I was doing wrong. I was rasterizing under the Object menu. Thank you! That worked.
