Hello,

I have a cummon workflow for creating and file Labels witch i created.

After my Label is created, it needs a titleblock with history due the needs from ISO 9001.

It needs the following infos:
Designed - eq Autor

Date of creation

Modified - date of a change

Verified - who checked the doc

Approved - who and when

What I would like to have is the following.

When I Start a script it should popup a form with all infos from the titleblock with editable textfields.

After they are filled I want to export a pdf to a new created folder, named after the Partnumber

Here you can download my template: https://adobe.ly/2JJqUuZ

Hello Silly-V,

I tried to outsource it to a freelancer with no result (250$ was to expensive for my opinion). As I don't know javascript but other languages, I tried myself.

After some Hours reading into javascrip, I come with this. It's still under Progress and more a working-script and a bit messi^^ .
But it already pops up a window and i can insert designer, date and Titel. I think it's ok for my first try.

!

#target illustrator

var w = new Window ("dialog", "Titelblock Eingabe");

    w.orientation

Sounds like a good amount of work and challenge to a person who has some free time. To do this yourself, you will need to use ScriptUI to make a custom dialog so that it can reflect the amount of fields you have in your document.

Do you have any javascript experience at all?

Not rly. I know .NET but not javascript. At least i can read codelines like in this post:https://forums.adobe.com/message/2953998#2953998

I was able to change this a bit to suite better for me. We have some software developers in our company speaking java.
It would also help if i could give them some understanding of the behaviors of illustrator so they could write me the script.

I am on a good way,

textboxes are now retrieving content from textframes. The script now generates a folder under given path and stores a pdf copy in there.

var w = new Window ("dialog", "Titelblock Eingabe");

    w.orientation = "column";

var aText = app.activeDocument.textFrames.getByName ("designer");

var bText = app.activeDocument.textFrames.getByName ("date_of_creation");

var cText = app.activeDocument.textFrames.getByName ("titel") ;

    var groupgen = w.add("group",undefined,'');

        groupgen.alignChildren = "fill";

        groupgen.orientation = "row";

              

    var group1 = groupgen.add("panel",undefined, "Erstellung");

        group1.orentation = "column";

        group1.alignChildren = "fill";    

    var group2 = groupgen.add("panel",undefined, "Nummerierung");

        group2.orentation = "column";

        group2.alignChildren = "fill";

    var todaydate = new Date();

        var dd = todaydate.getDate();

        var mm = todaydate.getMonth()+1; //January is 0!

        var yyyy = todaydate.getFullYear();

        if(dd<10) {

            dd = '0'+dd

        }

        if(mm<10) {

            mm = '0'+mm

        }

        todaydate= dd + '.' + mm + '.' + yyyy;

    var myDesigner = group1.add ("Panel", undefined, "Designer:");

        myDesigner.alignChildren = "fill";

        myDesigner.orientation      ="column";

        var Designer= myDesigner.add ("edittext", undefined, aText.contents);

            Designer.preferredSize = [250,23];

  

    var myDate           = group1.add ("Panel", undefined, "Erstellungsdatum");

           myDate.alignChildren = "fill";

        myDate.orientation      ="column";

        var Datum= myDate.add ("edittext", undefined, todaydate);

            Datum.preferredSize = [250,23];

    var myTitel = group1.add ("panel", undefined, "Titel:");

        myDesigner.alignChildren = "fill";

        myDesigner.orientation      ="column";

        var Titel= myTitel.add ("edittext", undefined, cText.contents);

            Titel.preferredSize = [250,23];

          

      var myArtikelnummer = group2.add ("panel", undefined, "Artikelnummer:");

        myArtikelnummer.alignChildren = "fill";

        myArtikelnummer.orientation      ="column";

        var Artikelnummer= myArtikelnummer.add ("edittext", undefined, "");

            Artikelnummer.preferredSize = [250,23];    

          

          

var myButtongroup = w.add("group");

    myButtongroup.alignment ="center";

    myButtongroup.add ("button", undefined, "OK");

    myButtongroup.add ("button", undefined, "Cancel");

  

    w.show ();

  

aText.contents = Designer.text;

bText.contents = Datum.text;

cText.contents = Titel.text;

redraw();

//export

var doc = app.activeDocument; // Name of the active document

var original_file = doc.fullName; // we need to store the original file and path

var pdfOption = 'Adobe PDF-Vorgabe 1'; // Name of PDF settings 

var pdfSuff = '.pdf'; // Suffix for PDF

var arr = doc.name.split(".");

var extension = "";

if (arr.length>1) extension = "." + arr.pop();
