Hi All,

Running a script to open up files and convert to another type. When it gets to a TIFF type file a dialog window titled 'TIFF Import Options' is opening. This windows has an Options column that contains two radio selections for 'Convert Layers to Objects' and 'Flatten Layers to a Single Image'. How would I open the file with the 'flatten layers to a single image' set?

Thanks

That line results in the error »OpenOptionsPhotoshop is undefined« for me on Illustrator CC 2018.

Could somebody provide additional advice?

Hi c.pfaffenbichler,

it seems, this not longer works. Please try:

var uILevel = userInteractionLevel;  
app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
//app.preferences.OpenOptionsPhotoshop.preserveLayers = true;
app.preferences.photoshopFileOptions.preserveLayers =false; // or true
var aFile = File("~/Desktop/NeuerOrdner/Test.tif");
if (aFile != null) { var aDoc = open(aFile, DocumentColorSpace.RGB); }
app.userInteractionLevel = uILevel;

Have fun
