This is a font change script. Save changes in eps.

[KimHoeHoon]

Hello.
When I run the jsx script, the eps file is saved as ai.
Where should I fix it to be saved as eps?

I am using cs5.

/*
Replace fonts in all the Illustrator files in a folder

*/

// fonts to replace
var substitutions = [
  ['BellGothic BT', 'Bold',         'Roboto', 'Condensed'],
  ['BellGothic Blk BT', 'Black',    'Roboto', 'Bold Condensed'],
];

//  turn the substitutions into real fonts
var subsRight = [];
var fontCount = textFonts.length;
var subsCount = substitutions.length;
for (var i = 0; i < fontCount; i++) {
  var font = textFonts[i];
  for (var j = 0; j < subsCount; j++) {
    if (substitutions[j][2] == font.family && substitutions[j][3] == font.style) {
      subsRight[j] = font;
    }
  }
}

function getAllFiles(folder) {
  var fileList = [];
  function recurse (folder) {
    var files = folder.getFiles("*.ai");
    for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++)
      fileList.push(files[i]);

    var folders = folder.getFiles();
    var len = folders.length;
    for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
      if (folders[i] instanceof Folder) {
        recurse(folders[i]);
      }
    }
  }
  if (folder != null && folder instanceof Folder)
    recurse(folder);
  return fileList;
}

var sourceFolder = Folder.myDocuments.selectDlg( 'Select the folder with Illustrator files in which you want to replace fonts');
var files = getAllFiles(sourceFolder);

for ( var i = 0; i < files.length; i++ ) {
  var file = files[i];
  var doc = app.open(file);

  // replace the font
  var frames = doc.textFrames;
  for ( var j = 0; j < frames.length; j++ ) {
    var ranges = frames[j].textRanges;
    for ( var k = 0; k < ranges.length; k++ ) {
      var range = ranges[k];
      for (var f = 0; f < subsCount; f++) {
        if (range.characterAttributes.textFont.family == substitutions[f][0] 
          && range.characterAttributes.textFont.style == substitutions[f][1]) {
          range.characterAttributes.textFont = subsRight[f];
        }
      }
    }
  }
  redraw();

  doc.save();
  doc.close();  
}

Hi,

To save ai document into EPS format you need to use saveAs method with EPSSaveOptions

Here is the complete updated version of the script with EPS format

var substitutions = [
  ['BellGothic BT', 'Bold', 'Roboto', 'Condensed'],
  ['BellGothic Blk BT', 'Black', 'Roboto', 'Bold Condensed'],
];

//  turn the substitutions into real fonts
var subsRight = [];
var fontCount = textFonts.length;
var subsCount = substitutions.length;
for (var i = 0; i < fontCount; i++) {
  var font = textFonts[i];
  for (var j = 0; j < subsCount; j++) {
    if (substitutions[j][2] == font.family && substitutions[j][3] == font.style) {
      subsRight[j] = font;
    }
  }
}

function getAllFiles(folder) {
  var fileList = [];
  function recurse(folder) {
    var files = folder.getFiles("*.ai");
    for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++)
      fileList.push(files[i]);

    var folders = folder.getFiles();
    var len = folders.length;
    for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
      if (folders[i] instanceof Folder) {
        recurse(folders[i]);
      }
    }
  }
  if (folder != null && folder instanceof Folder)
    recurse(folder);
  return fileList;
}

var sourceFolder = Folder.myDocuments.selectDlg('Select the folder with Illustrator files in which you want to replace fonts');
var files = getAllFiles(sourceFolder);
var saveOptions = new EPSSaveOptions();
saveOptions.cmykPostScript = true;
saveOptions.embedAllFonts = true;

for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
  var file = files[i];
  var doc = app.open(file);

  // replace the font
  var frames = doc.textFrames;
  for (var j = 0; j < frames.length; j++) {
    var ranges = frames[j].textRanges;
    for (var k = 0; k < ranges.length; k++) {
      var range = ranges[k];
      for (var f = 0; f < subsCount; f++) {
        if (range.characterAttributes.textFont.family == substitutions[f][0]
          && range.characterAttributes.textFont.style == substitutions[f][1]) {
          range.characterAttributes.textFont = subsRight[f];
        }
      }
    }
  }
  redraw();
  var newFile = new File(file);
  doc.saveAs(newFile, saveOptions)

  //doc.save(); //Uncomment if you want to save changes you made in ai as well.
  doc.close();
}

Let us know if this helps you.

Thank you.
However, this error is raised.

Error 2: saveOpions is undefined.
doc.saveAs(newFile, saveOpions)

I want to change the font by scripting the eps file.

But when I apply the script, it is created as an AI file.

I want to save it as it is in the original EPS file.

Help.
Thank you.

Hi, There is a typo error in your spelling saveOpions. In my code it is saveOptions

saveOptions

Try this and let us know how it goes from here.

[KimHoeHoon]

Spelling made a mistake while typing in the warning window.

But when I run the script you modified
The folder selection window appears.
If you select a folder, nothing happens.
Thank you.
