Select only one layer for my Script

[Guest]

Hey there,

I am a newbie and just made this script with the help of other topics:

it helps me to change the import options of all .ai's (pdfs) in my document

var d = app.activeDocument;

var g = d.allGraphics;

app.pdfPlacePreferences.pdfCrop = PDFCrop.CROP_TRIM;

for (i=0; i<d.allGraphics.length; i++) {

     g = d.allGraphics;

     g.absoluteHorizontalScale = 100; // Horizontal Scale

     g.absoluteVerticalScale = 100; // Vertical Scale

     g.place(g.itemLink.filePath);

}

now i have the problem that i only want to use this on one layer of my document, but he changes every ai.

How can i tell the script which layer he has to change or that the script doesnt change locked layers?

Sry for my bad english

Hi,

Use the below code,

var d = app.activeDocument;
var g = d.allGraphics;

for (i=0; i<d.allGraphics.length; i++) {
    if(d.allGraphics.itemLayer.name == "RED")
    {
     g = d.allGraphics;
     g.absoluteHorizontalScale = 100; // Horizontal Scale
     g.absoluteVerticalScale = 100; // Vertical Scale
     }
}

Hi try this code

it can't change objects' properties on locked layer.

var d = app.activeDocument;
var l = d.layers.item("RED");
var ag = l.allGraphics;
app.pdfPlacePreferences.pdfCrop = PDFCrop.CROP_TRIM;


if (l.locked) {
  alert('the layer is locked');
  exit();
}


for (i=0; i< ag.length; i++) {
  var g = ag;
  g.absoluteHorizontalScale = 100; // Horizontal Scale
  g.absoluteVerticalScale = 100; // Vertical Scale
  g.place(g.itemLink.filePath);
}
