Hey everyone- I am currently running Illustrator CS5 on Windows 7 using extendscript. My issue is this:
When testing this script on any Windows machine, my script runs as it should but when I try to run it on a Mac using Illustrator CS4, the PDFs save as they should, but the Illustrator file doesn't. The folder contains the PDFs but no Illustrator. I'm currently using CS5 and the IllustratorSaveOptions specify to save as a CS4 file. Any help would be appreciated. I've seen other posts showing IllustratorSaveOptions that had "+ 'ai'" and "+ '.pdf'" at the end of the file string. Could that have anything to do with it? The most important part of the script is towards the bottom. Here is my script:
#target illustrator
var myDoc = activeDocument;
var dateFormat = function () {
var token = /d{1,4}|m{1,4}|yy(?:yy)?|([HhMsTt])\1?|[LloSZ]|"[^"]*"|'[^']*'/g,
timezone = /\b(?:[PMCEA][SDP]T|(?:Pacific|Mountain|Central|Eastern|Atlantic) (?:Standard|Daylight|Prevailing) Time|(?:GMT|UTC)(?:[-+]\d{4})?)\b/g,
timezoneClip = /[^-+\dA-Z]/g,
pad = function (val, len) {
val = String(val);
len = len || 2;
while (val.length < len) val = "0" + val;
return val;
};
// Regexes and supporting functions are cached through closure
return function (date, mask, utc) {
var dF = dateFormat;
// You can't provide utc if you skip other args (use the "UTC:" mask prefix)
if (arguments.length == 1 && Object.prototype.toString.call(date) == "[object String]" && !/\d/.test(date)) {
mask = date;
date = undefined;
}
// Passing date through Date applies Date.parse, if necessary
date = date ? new Date(date) : new Date;
if (isNaN(date)) throw SyntaxError("invalid date");
mask = String(dF.masks[mask] || mask || dF.masks["default"]);
// Allow setting the utc argument via the mask
if (mask.slice(0, 4) == "UTC:") {
mask = mask.slice(4);
utc = true;
}
var _ = utc ? "getUTC" : "get",

S: ["th", "st", "nd", "rd"][d % 10 > 3 ? 0 : (d % 100 - d % 10 != 10) * d % 10]
};
return mask.replace(token, function ($0) {
return $0 in flags ? flags[$0] : $0.slice(1, $0.length - 1);
});
};
}();
