SVG Export only visible layers

[djbgraphicdesign]

I'm back! I was never leaving haha.

So I am trying to export an svg file for only the visible layer. I am able to do this manually by

Export as SVG, use artboards, and these options

When I do it this way, it only saves the visible layer. However, when I use the code below, it saves all the layers even hidden ones, and all the raster images involved.

var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var path = docRef.path;
function exportFileToSVG (dest) {
    if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
        var exportOptions = new ExportOptionsSVG();
        var type = ExportType.SVG;
        var fileSpec = new File(dest);
        exportOptions.saveMultipleArtboards = true;
        exportOptions.coordinatePrecision = 2;
        exportOptions.fontType = SVGFontType.OUTLINEFONT;
        exportOptions.embedRasterImages = false;
        exportOptions.includeFileInfo = false;
        exportOptions.preserveEditability = false;
        app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, type, exportOptions );
    }
}
exportFileToSVG('~/Desktop/blah');

If anyone has any idea why all the layers are saving and not just the visible ones, please let me know. I can always create an action by how I saved it and then run the action through the full script, but I was hoping to script everything. Thanks!!

Try using the: ExportOptionsWebOptimizedSVG object.

Thanks, I am not seeing that anywhere in the reference though. Do they have that in CC 2017?

Yea, I see it in the OMV -

Sweet. Thank you. I wish everything would be included in the javascript reference pdf.

var docRef = app.activeDocument;

var path = docRef.path;

function exportFileToSVG (dest) {

    if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {

        var exportOptions = new ExportOptionsWebOptimizedSVG();

        var type = ExportType.WOSVG;

        var fileSpec = new File(dest);

        exportOptions.saveMultipleArtboards = true;

        exportOptions.artboardRange = '1';

        exportOptions.coordinatePrecision = 2;

        exportOptions.fontType = SVGFontType.OUTLINEFONT;

        exportOptions.svgMinify = true;

        exportOptions.svgId = SVGIdType.SVGIDREGULAR;

        app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, type, exportOptions );

    }

}

exportFileToSVG('~/Desktop/blah.svg');

This appears to do what I needed. Awesome!!
