Hello community,
if you are working together with printing houses and create files in AI that will sooner or later be printed there you might know that they need some more files than you actual AI file. In my case these usually are:
- your AI file
- your AI file with outlined fonts (in case they use a different OS and can't use your fonts)
- a printable PDF (PDF/X normally preferred)
- a preview PDF for administrative use
- any linked image
- the fonts used in your file
By the time I had to collect these files mentioned above 3-4 times a day for different design files. So I thought it would be the right time for some automation. Searching the web I found a lot of code snippets I could use for this complex script so the origin is not totally mine.
What that script does is
- cleaning up your file by deleting not used colors, hidden layers, and hidden objects
- generating a newe folder on your desktop
- saving all files and formats as mentioned above in this folder ...
... except the fonts.

I ran the script, but ran into a few things:
• Errors out with this message:
• I got a folder output with: a text file, one '_cs6.ai' file, and an 'images' folder with images in it, but it doesn't seem to have created the pdfs, the outlined version of the AI file, or the fonts (though wasn't sure if it was even supposed to output that based on your description).
Also, the task box shows text a bit jumbled (not important, but didn't look right):
Alrighty! Well I'm going to work on the code as well, if I get anywhere with the collection of fonts I will let you know. Again this script saves a ton of time on my end. Thank you q3! You're a rockstar. 
Hey q3player​, I figured out the font issue, and also edited the script so you can select the destination you want the folder to be created in. I figured I'd share it with you, since you did 95% of the work on it! Check it out, and let me know if it packages up your fonts for you.
