I try to reproduce the bug and I could not – all files in submitted testing archive are processed without errors  (so the archive is contains already processed files, but I mean the source files in it). The artboard may stick to the edges of the image in one case – if there are no crop marks. To avoid errors in the files, where for some reason there is no crop marks, I have added a checking for remove the 4 crop marks. If the crop marks have not been removed, it will return the previous artbords borders.

As I think, the slowest operation of the script: opening the file; iterating the path items in the file (search by condition, removal of the element when matching); save in .eps format. It seems that I can affect the second point. However, steps 1 and 3 can often run much slower than 2. ... View more

About point 1. I find it difficult at the moment to say why the process is slowed down. File processing speed depends on the number of path items in the file, and on the speed of your computer. The reasons can be many. (Once it turned out that the user has a problem with the HDD. As soon as he changed the HDD, the script began to work normally). I just spent tests (Win10x64Rus, CPU Corei7, RAM 8 Gb, CC2015x64En): handled 512 files, and forcibly interrupted execution at five hundred file. Speed is 15-35 files per minute, 501 files per 19 minutes. I did not see the slowing down at the end of execution. Updated Allow me to test your most complex files. And yet, at this stage I would advise to run a script with no more than 100-200 files simultaneously. ps. Scripts do not run faster than the Illustrator. Acceleration only by eliminating the human factor. ... View more

It work only in CS6+, not CS5 (it will be more difficult). Try to run on a small number of different files (10-20).

Is this layout structure always as in sample EPS: all in group; then clipping group; 4 crop marks at the very bottom of the clipping group? How we can clearly identify the crop marks? What are some differences from the objects of the main content? New This is important, since the crop marks - a conventional Bezier curves. In fact, they are no different from other design elements. ... View more
