Save as EPS with Options

[jackier6491748]

Hello! I'm relatively new  to scripting for Illustrator & was wondering if anybody currently has a script that could automate a task for me.

I work in screen printing & have to save every art file as an .EPS to a hot folder on our server. I'm looking to by-pass the Save As & choosing options for saving every art file as an EPS, as every file is saved in the same folder with the same options, everytime.

The breakdown would be as follows:

- Save as .EPS

- Use Artboards

- Range: 1

- Destination: S:\SCREEN ROOM

- Version: Illustrator CC EPS

- Preview Format: TIFF (8-bit Color)

- Transparent

- Embed Fonts (for other applications) YES

- Inclue Document Thumbnails NO

- Include CMYK PostScript in RGB Files YES

- Compatible Gradient and Gradient Mesh Printing NO

- Adobe PostScript: LanguageLevel 3

If anybody could point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Save an opened ai file as eps?

Give it a try:

// regards pixxxel schubser
var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
var root = "/s/SCREEN_ROOM/"; // Please do not use spaces in your file system !!
var epsFile = new File (root+aDoc.name.replace (".ai", ".eps"));
var epsSaveOpts = new EPSSaveOptions ();
epsSaveOpts.saveMultipleArtboards = true;
epsSaveOpts.artboardRange = '1';
epsSaveOpts.compatibility = Compatibility.ILLUSTRATOR17;
epsOptions.preview = EPSPreview.COLORTIFF;
epsSaveOpts.flattenOuput = OutputFlattening.PRESERVEAPPEARANCE;
epsSaveOpts.embedAllFonts = true;
epsSaveOpts.includeDocumentThumbnails  = false;
epsSaveOpts.cmykPostScript = true;
epsSaveOpts.compatibleGradientPrinting = false;
epsSaveOpts.postScript = EPSPostScriptLevelEnum.LEVEL3;
aDoc.saveAs (epsFile, epsSaveOpts);

If that works for your needs.

Have fun

Awesome! Works perfectly after I changed the destination folder to SCREEN_ROOM & changed line 11 to:

epsSaveOpts.preview = EPSPreview.TRANSPARENTCOLORTIFF; 

Thank you for your help! You've saved me countless hours of redundancy.
