Script Artboard to "Fit to Artwork Bounds" on multiple files

Hi,

I am doing somewhat similar to your task.

The main things are

a) find all - or some - files in a folder

if(app.documents.length)

        var p = app.documents[0].fullName.path;

else

        p = undefined;

var where = new Folder(p).selectDlg('work files');

var ai_files = where.getFiles('*.ai');

b) open a file inside a loop, and change it

for(var n = 0 ; n < ai_files.length ; n++)

{    var doc = app.open(ai_files);

    var abi = doc.artboards.getActiveArtboardIndex();

    doc.selectObjectsOnActiveArtboard();

    doc.fitArtboardToSelectedArt(abi);

}

You will need to design a strategy (such as storing to a different folder and removing the original, or ignoring the file if a processed file is in the output folder)

You will need to consider possible errors (stuff cannot be selected because it is hidden or locked)
