If I have multiple items selected it turns each one into its own symbol. That's I thought what you want, if not, just delete the for loop.     createAction(actionStr, set);     app.doScript(action, set);     app.unloadAction(set, ''); I tested in CC 2015, and CC 2017, and both yielded static symbols on scripting. The same here in CC 2015. The problems are: It create a symbol in the panel, but do not change the select objects to a symbol item. It seems only take one page item a time, if you select multiple items, you have to group them first. ... View more

If all of the swatches in group are pantone spot color, and all are used in document( if not, add some temp path to apply color), steps of the script can be: - select all and cut - remove all swatch groups except swatchGroups[0] - paste in place(remember layers checked on) and swatches will be added automatically. ...

OK, I know what your mean, Ctrl+A do select all the objects in the highlighted layers, but not the layers themselves. Sad to say, that's impossible using script too.

Hi, you need get files, open files in a loop, and change object's color as you want. You title asked "all objects", but your code only  change one pathItem, I don't know what's your want. And you can change color directly, no need a swatch. Anyway, let's give you a start. //=== // Start of Script //=== //Script intention is to: // - Open all files in specific folder (optional) // - Select all objects in file from selected source folder above or in all currently opened files // - Change objects fill color to new color // - Export/Save as SVG file into destination folder // Tried to combined default save as SVG file from Adobe Illustror CS5 and additional script to change fill color of object. try {     // Get the folder to save the files into     var destFolder = Folder.selectDialog('Select folder for SVG files.', '~');     var files = destFolder.getFiles(); // .getFiles('*.ai')?     if (destFolder != null) {         var options, i, docRef, targetFile;         // Get the SVG options to be used.         options = this.getOptions();         // You can tune these by changing the code in the getOptions() function.         // specify new rgb color         var col = new RGBColor();         col.red = 17;         col.green = 101;         col.blue = 229;         for (i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {             docRef = app.open(files); // returns the document object             // Apply the swatch to a new path item             var pathRef = docRef.pathItems[0];             pathRef.filled = true;             pathRef.fillColor = col;             pathRef.stroked = false; //set object stroke to false             // Get the file to save the document as svg into             targetFile = this.getTargetFile(docRef.name, '.svg', destFolder);             // Save as SVG             docRef.exportFile(targetFile, ExportType.SVG, options);             // Note: the doc.exportFile function for SVG is actually a Save As             // operation rather than an Export, that is, the document's name             // in Illustrator will change to the result of this call.             docRef.close();         }         alert('Documents saved as SVG');     } } catch (e) {     alert(e.message, "Script Alert", true); } /** Returns the options to be used for the generated files.   @return ExportOptionsSVG object */ function getOptions() {     // Create the required options object     var options = new ExportOptionsSVG();     // See ExportOptionsSVG in the JavaScript Reference for available options     // Set the options you want below:     // For example, uncomment to set the compatibility of the generated svg to SVG Tiny 1.1     // options.DTD = SVGDTDVersion.SVGTINY1_1;     // For example, uncomment to embed raster images     // options.embedRasterImages = true;     return options; } /** Returns the file to save or export the document into.   @param docName the name of the document   @param ext the extension the file extension to be applied   @param destFolder the output folder   @return File object */ function getTargetFile(docName, ext, destFolder) {     var newName = "";     // if name has no dot (and hence no extension),     // just append the extension     if (docName.indexOf('.') < 0) {         newName = docName + ext;     } else {         var dot = docName.lastIndexOf('.');         newName += docName.substring(0, dot);         newName += ext;     }     // Create the file object to save to     var myFile = new File(destFolder + '/' + newName);     // Preflight access rights     if (myFile.open("w")) {         myFile.close();     } else {         throw new Error('Access is denied');     }     return myFile; } //=== // End of Script //=== ...
