Report · Mar 18, 2021

Hi,

I have this script which save me two pdf file, low and hight resolution.

I would like to include 2 more things

1. to overwrite file name in case I save several times

2. export jpeg file

..a total of 3 files: pdf low, pdf hight and jpeg

Thanks

function HsaveAsPDF() {
var pdfFile = new File(app.activeDocument.path + "/" + "print_" + app.activeDocument.name.split('.')[0] + '.pdf');
var pdfOptions = new PDFSaveOptions();
pdfOptions.compatibility = PDFCompatibility.ACROBAT5;
pdfOptions.generateThumbnails = true;
pdfOptions.preserveEditability = false;
pdfOptions.registrationMarks = false;

pdfOptions.pDFPreset = "[Illustrator Default]";
app.activeDocument.saveAs(pdfFile, pdfOptions);
}
HsaveAsPDF()

function LsaveAsPDF() {
var LpdfFile = new File(app.activeDocument.path + "/" + "preview_" + app.activeDocument.name.split('.')[0] + '.pdf');
var LpdfOptions = new PDFSaveOptions();
LpdfOptions.compatibility = PDFCompatibility.ACROBAT5;
LpdfOptions.generateThumbnails = true;
LpdfOptions.preserveEditability = false;
LpdfOptions.registrationMarks = false;
LpdfOptions.pDFPreset = "[Smallest File Size]";
app.activeDocument.saveAs(LpdfFile, LpdfOptions);

}
LsaveAsPDF()

What do you mean by the statement to overwrite file name in case I save several times?

Do you mean to overwrite or not to overwrite? Because if you this document with the same it will overwrite it automatically.

Tkanks!

I need a comand , if exist, to overwrite filename..If I save "test" document more than one time, will create a new documents with duplicate name:

first save "test_print.pdf"

second save "test_print_print.pdf"

third save "test_print_print_print.pdf"

and so on..

this is update script

var doc = app.activeDocument;  
var originalDocPath = doc.path;  
var originalDocName = doc.name;  
var allLayers = doc.layers;  

originalDocName = originalDocName.replace(/\.pdf|\.ai/gi, "")  
  
var lowSave = new PDFSaveOptions();  
lowSave.compatibility = PDFCompatibility.ACROBAT5;
lowSave.generateThumbnails = true;
lowSave.preserveEditability = false;
lowSave.registrationMarks = false;
lowSave.pDFPreset = "preview";  
doc.saveAs(File(originalDocPath + "/" + originalDocName + "_preview.pdf"), lowSave);
//app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);


var hiSave = new PDFSaveOptions();  
hiSave.compatibility = PDFCompatibility.ACROBAT5;
hiSave.generateThumbnails = true;
hiSave.preserveEditability = false;
hiSave.registrationMarks = false;
hiSave.pDFPreset = "[Illustrator Default]"; 
doc.saveAs(File(originalDocPath + "/" + originalDocName + "_print.pdf"), hiSave);  
//app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

}

LsaveAsPDF();
app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

For High Res file, file will be saved as

test_print.pdf,

test_print_print.pdf,

test_print_print_print.pdf.

For Low Res file, file will be saved as

test_preview.pdf,

test_preview_preview.pdf,

test_print_print_print.pdf.

For jpeg file, file will be saved as

test.jpg

test_1.jpg

test_2.jpg

and so on..

I hope this is what you required.
