Hi all,

I am struggling to write a script to save the ".ai file" to ".pdf file" in the default path, where it is located  like(C drive or D drive ). Kindly help in this concern.

Hi,

Try following snippet. This will save the pdf at the same path where your ai file exists and with the same name as as your ai file.

var _doc = app.activeDocument;
var _name = _doc.name.replace('.ai', '');
var _path = _doc.path;
var _pdfFile = File(_path + '/' + _name + '.pdf');
var saveOpts = new PDFSaveOptions();
saveOpts.preserveEditability = true;
PDFSaveOptions.viewAfterSaving = false;
_doc.saveAs(_pdfFile, saveOpts);
