Issue with export to jpg script

[FrederikV]

Hi,

I have some issues creating a snippet in my code to export the document as jpg.

// Exports current document to dest as a JPEG file with specified options,
// dest contains the full path including the file name
   var jpg_dest = export_folder  + Artikelnummer.Text + '.jpg';
function exportFileToJPEG(jpg_dest) {
 
    if (doc.length > 0) {
      var jpgexportOptions = new ExportOptionsJPEG();
      jpgexportOptions.antiAliasing = false;
      jpgexportOptions.qualitySetting = 70;
      jpgexportOptions.artBoardClipping = true;
      jpgexportOptions.optimization = true;  
      var jpgtype = ExportType.JPEG;
      var fileSpec = new File(jpg_dest);
  
   doc.exportFile(fileSpec, jpgtype, jpgexportOptions);
      codeStart++;
    } 
}

Here is the part where I try to export the jpg file. Followed the hole script:

What's the problem? Do you get an error?

[FrederikV]

Oh man, I tried my best to explain the workflow and forgot the error.

My hole script creates the folder and the pdf correct, but no jpg is created. I also tried this snippet with png and it didn't work.
There is no error message.

[FrederikV]

As answered:
The script doesn't create the jpg. No Error occurs. Rest of the script works just fine.

Salut!

exportFileToJPEG(jpg_dest);

[femkeblanco · Accepted solution]

Like @renél80416020 said, you've put the exportFile() function inside an exportFileToJPEG() function, but you do not call exportFileToJPEG().

[FrederikV]

Hi all and thank you for the answers.

I have first tried to call the function with  exportFileToJPEG(jpg_dest);
As this didn't work, I removed the function and this didn't work either.

Any ideas?

I have found the error... First of all, the filepath was wrong. I found this while exporting as png with a script. It created a png with Filename+undifined.png on top level in the folderstructure.

With fixing this and calling the function, it works just fine.

// Exports current document to dest as a JPEG file with specified options,
// dest contains the full path including the file name
   var jpg_dest = "C:/Users/fvo/Desktop/AR-Nummern Ablage/" + Artikelnummer.text + "/" +Artikelnummer.text + '.jpg';
function exportFileToJPEG(jpg_dest) {
 
    if (app.documents.length > 0) {
      var jpgexportOptions = new ExportOptionsJPEG();
      jpgexportOptions.antiAliasing = false;
      jpgexportOptions.qualitySetting = 70;
      jpgexportOptions.artBoardClipping = true;
      jpgexportOptions.optimization = true;  
      jpgexportOptions.ver
      var jpgtype = ExportType.JPEG;
      var fileSpec = new File(jpg_dest);
  
   app.activeDocument.exportFile(fileSpec, jpgtype, jpgexportOptions);
      
    } 
}

exportFileToJPEG(jpg_dest);
