Need script to batch convert vector .eps to .svg images script

[pascalclijsters]

Hi,

I'm looking for a script/program that if you run it, all the .eps files in a folder will batch convert to a .svg.

I have already found a script to convert .eps to .png-24, but don't know how to edit it to export to .svg.

Pascal

.eps to .png-24 script

Not tested but should work, just changed the PNG options to SVG options and also changed extension to .svg

Thanks for posting! I tweaked the script to only export .eps to .svg. Also fixed the 'PNG' file type in the dialog and added a 'var' to the i = 0 in the first for loop. I tested the script and it works.

i cannot get the script to run. error on line 57 " sourceDoc = app.open(files); // returns the document object "

[yerom]

Yes same for me…

Try to fix it but not enough skilled in .js

Too bad

Anyone who have the issue solved it ?

[Disposition_Dev]

there's a bug in there. change line 57 from this:

sourceDoc = app.open(files); // returns the document object    

to this:

sourceDoc = app.open(files[i]); // returns the document object    

the variable "files" is an array, so if you want to access elements of the array, it needs to have an index.
