What is the best way to serialize an AI document?

[tomvandezande]

Hi,

I'd like to serialize an AI doc using a plugin. I tried to do this using extend script first, but it seems to have some limitations: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1367506

Is it possible to losslessly serialize/deserialize the AI DOM using the SDK?

Thanks,

Tom

You can easily do that using Adobe Illustrator SDK.

1- You just have to make a recursive treewalk of the document model.

2- Then you could implement a visitor to serialize this the way you want.

Illustrator SDK provides all the api and the tool to make this job done.
