You can have a CEP extension if you want to pull up the order right there inside of Illustrator, but otherwise a good way is to do the following: 1) Create an HTML page somewhere on your desktop, you can use regular VSCode without any ESTK for this. 2) Put a script into the HTML page which has a function that tries to load a JS script from the same folder and is named a certain name that doesn't change. Make this function repeat in an interval every second or less, its purpose is to find and load a JS file which has some data inside it. 3) With your JSX extendscript use a method to write the JS file to that location in step 2. Make this JS file have contents such as var data = { "url" : "my-url.com"}; When the HTML page's javascript finds and loads this file, make it change the window.location object to the url inside the data that was just found. Now the page will redirect to the url and that's that. 4) Clean up the written JS file using JSX by waiting a good second (longer than HTML page's javascript interval) with $.sleep(1000) and then removing the file. This way when you press the back button or go to the page by double clicking the HTML file from the filesystem, it will run the time interval function but not find any JS file with data and therefore will not redirect anywhere.This way you can be more sure that only script-activated actions are responsible for the website someone's about to see. I have a complex example in github, you can observe this part of the example to see such an HTML page and JS file at work. The HTML page looks huge, the time-interval script does a lot. You can strip all of that content out and just narrow down on the structure of the time-interval method itself.
To recap:
You can use javascript to navigate to a web page.
You can create an HTML file with a javascript that navigates to a web page.
The javascript that navigates to a web page can be triggered by a time-interval method also in the HTML file.
The time-interval method needs to be searching for a file that is written by JSX.
When the time-interval method loads the file written by JSX, it uses the info inside to trigger the HTML file script method that navigates to a the web page as specified by the info inside.

Don't have any if-statements; put them in as new choices.
This can't work:
var Choices = {};
if (Choices[AppStrings.TOOLED]
Choices is {}, there is no AppStrings.TOOLED inside there, so this if-statement will be false. Here is a simplified example of the original code:
// ====================== OLD ====================== //
var myChoice = "ID_1";
if (myChoice == "ID_1") {
alert("A");
} else if (myChoice == "ID_2") {
alert("B");
}
// ====================== NEW ====================== //
var Choices = {};
Choices["ID_1"] = { value : "A" };
Choices["ID_2"] = { value : "B" };
function processChoice (choiceData) {
alert(choiceData.value);
}
var myChoice = "ID_1";
processChoice(Choices[myChoice]);
So it looks like the bottom section has more code, and the beginning it sure does. However, as the block inside the if-statements can be large and as more choices get added one would have to re-paste the whole if-block. The Choices object wasn't created as a literal in my example because I wanted to ensure that a variable which contains a string would be used as the key. This way I can rename the variable and change the string too, and it will change in just the places where it's being used. In the above example I skipped the whole AppStrings string-variable-holder, but you can see the strings "ID_1" used as the key. Note that before Choices gets a key and value via Choices["ID_1"], it is empty.

Make sure you have the Override Export commands as well as the save commands checkbox checked in the Batch Actions dialog.
It is understandable that linked placed files disappear in the exported PDFs. It's because they are pointing to a different location than where they get written-to, probably, no longer having access to those file paths.
For example, if the linked files are in a "Links" folder, maybe all folders.
So you have at first, the option to export to a more ancient PDF format that automatically embeds images.
Your desired method to having Illustrator work properly and record the embedding command unfortunately is a known issue that has not been fixed in many years. However, even if you were to embed the images, if they were dynamic images whose file paths were supplied by the CSV and the file is written to a drive where those files cannot be found, then the variable image object will become destroyed and it can't replace its image on the next dataset. You would have to run an extra script every dataset which can be put into a batch action with the Insert Menu command. This script would have to duplicate your linked item, hide the original and embed the copy via scripting commands which luckily work. Then the very first thing your batch action would have to do is 'unhide all', to reveal any items which were previously hidden by the last run. Even then, you will end up with PDFs that have a hidden layer and that image may not be found and it may produce a non-found image dialog box. But, can you try to first output all the PDF-files as AI files instead? There is an option to include linked files, maybe it means they will be embedded. And afterwards you can go through with a Folder batch action to resave them all as PDF in the same place.

If you want to import the variables that already exist without rebinding them, use the no-auto-binding option.
When auto bind by name is used it will try to find the 'name' in the layers panel of the art object.
So you can either use no auto binding or use named auto binding but ensure your text is named in the layers panel "ImageVariable" and "SourceVariable".
There could be confusion if you do have your text frame's text as "SourceVariable" - make sure the text inside does not say this at the start! It has to be different.

The above was at a time when I was not aware of or didn't pay attention to the fact that SVG exports in Illustrator are asynchronous and the saves of these files act a little differently from normal saving. A common theme is how the scripts tend to continue despite the fact that the file in question is still being written, and this process is not blocked as it is for all the other exports. Strangely I cannot find anything on the subject via search, but the creation of a 'placeholder' file at 0KB and then following some time later the appearance of a full file leads me to believe there is such an issue happening. I am not sure if I remember what posts regarding this said, but there are topics on "svg export is too slow".

There's a test thing that lets you make sure you have the proper bindings. Otherwise you'd have to use the variables panel to make sure your variables are bound. That message isn't that important, it's really for when you are doing some graphs with advanced data and an asterisk appears by the dataset when it's imported automatically (or have multiple visibility variables which can do the same thing).. it's rare what I'm talking about but for those who need it, this button solves those issues.

This is my take on simplifying this script. I am using "JSDoc" and VSCode which lets you have hints and auto-completion inside the code-editor. I've moved various strings in the code to central object "AppStrings" and I looked at what's different in the functions to determine that actually it's just the folder string.
/**

Having the JSDoc inside the AppStrings object lets you see the string when you hover over the variables anywhere, you can also get proper references to check exactly how many times there was a particular string in the code and it's not in the comments. Plus, if for any reason those strings need to change, you can either change them via hard code or add something more dynamic in and you would know where out of all the places to make the change. The chained if-statement is replaced by the "Choices" object which is a key-value associative array kind of object where the name of the choice is the 'key' to 'unlocking' more information about the choice such as its folder string. The if-conditions are replaced by the key access operation "Choices[choice]" so it always goes to its proper spot and gets the right folder string for the choice.

This snippet will show you an example where we take just the 1st character of a textframe to see what color it is, and matching the color rgb numbers to the numbers in the swatch named "RGB Red".
Set App = CreateObject("Illustrator.Application")
Set Doc = App.ActiveDocument
Set SwatchOfInterest = Doc.Swatches.GetByName("RGB Red")
SwatchOfInterest_R = SwatchOfInterest.Color.Red
SwatchOfInterest_G = SwatchOfInterest.Color.Green
SwatchOfInterest_B = SwatchOfInterest.Color.Blue
For i = 1 to Doc.Layers(1).TextFrames.Count
Set TestTextFrame = Doc.TextFrames(i)
Set FirstChar = TestTextFrame.Characters(1)
Set FirstCharColor = FirstChar.CharacterAttributes.FillColor
IsColorArraySame = False
If SwatchOfInterest_R = FirstCharColor.Red AND _
SwatchOfInterest_G = FirstCharColor.Green AND _
SwatchOfInterest_B = FirstCharColor.Blue _
Then
IsColorArraySame = True
MsgBox("Text-Frame at index " & i & " has color '" & SwatchOfInterest.Name & "'.")
End If
Next
In a sample document which has 3 texts and only the middle one is colored with this color, it alerts that an item at index 2 has been found to contain a matching set of color numbers.

Recursion was frightening to me at first because I saw an example at the very beginning which somehow returned a value form the recursive function. But soon after I saw another example where they pushed a value to a variable outside of the recursive function, and that cleared it up. Like everyone said, the essence of such a function is a mechanism that can launch itself on an item, so if that item can have nested properties which can be in turn treated with the same function, this function will run on them all and their children, to "infinity".
mainly used to run a method on a data structure whose amount of nested items is unknown and could be any amount, and the item of interest this method is concerned about could be located at any level of nesting, so it's got to be prepared to run through them all.
To construct a recursive function, one must think of a function that can take in some input and launch itself on it. Most common generic situation is handling of folders and files. If you think of a file or folder object as a "node" which can be either a file or folder, a recursive function can get an input of a folder and run through its children to do something which discriminates between whether a child is a folder or a file object. If the object is a folder, the same function is launched on that folder, but if it's a file then something else happens that takes care of the file. Here is an example where you may have a folder structure and at some folder there might be a text file named a certain something. Supposing the goal is to obtain the file "test.txt" from a structure which looks like this: Folder "root" -Folder "folder_1" -File "abc.txt" -Folder "nested_folder_1" -Folder "nested_folder_1_1" -File "test.txt" -Folder "folder_2" You may want to make some function that you want to pass the Folder object "root" and a string to get any file name to and get the File object "test.txt" from. Keep in mind that you don't know what this structure is at run-time, so it could be all switched around. This function would look something like: function getMyTextFile (startFolder, fileName) { // What goes here? } What goes in the comment? I found the easiest way to get an item from a nested structure of items is to create a function-scoped variable to add things to at the top of the method and then create an inner function that is the actual recursive function. function getMyTextFile (startFolder, fileName) { var foundFile; function folderSearch (folderOrFile) { if (foundFile != undefined) { return; // stop inefficient traversing in case the file was already found by previous run of this function. } if (folderOrFile instanceof Folder) { var allFiles = folderOrFile.getFiles(); Array.from(allFiles).forEach(function (m) { // these methods are accomplished by using ES3 polyfills found online folderSearch(m); // send another instance of this function on its way to work on this 'node'. }); } else { // This is a file object, do the part which compares the file name to the fileName input. if (decodeURI(fileOrFolder.name) == fileName) { // compare the names... foundFile = fileOrFolder; // BINGO, we found the file. // Now this function should no longer run due to the condition at the very top. } } } folderSearch(startFolder); // launches the recursive method and it will reach all branches of the node tree. return foundFile; // return the function-scoped result variable, if it wasn't set from within the recursive method, it will return undefined. (you can also initialize this to null or false, or anything else you wish as default return data). }

I was curious on the lack of scripting support because in Types-for-Adobe typescript OMV-based type definitions there is a document.brushes.add(file, name) and document.brushes.addAndLoad(file) methods.
But of course none of these work at all.. or is that completely true?
The error message is not that this method is not a function but rather the funny Illustrator error "CAN'T".
Also, it does work up to some point because if you do not put the right kind of argument, such as the File object into the 1st argument spot, it will complain that the argument it needs is supposed to be a File.
Could there be a file format that does work? I doubt it, I tried .ai compressed and uncompressed, with PDF and without PDF content and it didn't work.
For this case if dynamic brushes could be created and their names could be controlled, then maybe the script could have made its own temp helper documents and removed them after use.

Hello! I may have some helpful advice.
The preferences file is located in this location on Windows (C:\Users\YOU\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 26 Settings\en_US\x64\Adobe Illustrator Prefs) and in the libraries & application support folder on Mac. You can open this file as text to see the various keys in there.
Using this example app.preferences.setIntegerPreference("plugin/PNGFileFormat/AntiAlias", 1); we can find the "AntiAlias" string in its proper block:
The location of this block is far down at line 1270 in my file, and these lines can change if one adds preferences that didn't exist before, etc.
At the very top, there's a 1st level {} brace block that starts with the word "plugin". The block with the PNG antialiasing is inside of that block, and the key-chain to get to the preference is "plugin/PNGFileFormat/AntiAlias". So now you can experiment with app.preferences 'set' and 'get' to see if you can change these preferences. Get the new updated value right at the moment, and if that doesn't work, get updated values after restarting Illustrator. I found out early on that mis-spelling or putting these keys out of order doesn't actually produce any errors, it simply adds a 'custom' preference to this file which was not there before. This could be useful if you wish to use the preferences mechanism to store some data which can persist between Ai sessions. As preferences can be migrated over to new versions with a Creative Cloud option, using this to store data may even provide longevity of your special custom preference living on after the app version change on a user's computer (without them having to do anything extra). However, at the beginning stages I would caution against adding custom preferences and especially against naming them anything that is similar to what exists already, as this will get confusing. My number one problem was that when I tried to do my prefs, they were not working. They already can be not working for a number of reasons, but with my mucking about I have created a scenario where I'm extra not-sure why it's not working due to putting in a wrong key "plugin/PngFormat/AntiAlias". So now there were 2 entries and one was wrong altogether. Of course, I have done this a number of times wondering why it's not working, so by the time I fond where the Prefs file was and opened it, I had multiple entries which made no sense and I just started fresh on my next app updated.

I have been able to use Node js and Adobe's extendscript debugger VSCode extension code to automate some JSXBIN creation (there's at least one package out there that does the same as I hand-made to do this, from the looks of it, pretty much almost the exact same way: you use a path to Adobe's code you find inside the VSCode extension and feed your parameters to it). That is just great, except now that I've tried this out on something that I've worked on for years with no JSXBIN and saw there are some issues which are kind-of problematic, but only in some advanced cases. First, the good news is that a JSXBIN file can be invoked with regular scripting triggers (File > Scripts > other scripts) just fine. That's a given, but furthermore it also works by using eval on a JSXBIN string. Interestingly, I was not able to actually make it eval like this: eval("#inlclude 'path/to/jsxbin.jsx'"). Note: Matter of fact, although there's some convention of a 'jsxbin' file extension, the UI doesn't let you pick anything other than js or jsx Instead, I was able to read the string and eval the string like this:
var f = File(pathToScript); f.open('r'); var c = f.read(); f.close(); eval(c); If anyone used the "Script Panel 2" - the SUI-based script-panel, it takes a minor edit to run bin files from the buttons, it has to read the script file to see if it begins with the string "@JSXBIN" (or something). But, it works: the script panel reads the jsxbin gibberish text and evals it using the above line successfully. What does not work for me though is the special case where the target script is actually also a BridgeTalk-enabled script too. I make mine in a specific way where the entire script function is sent to another app via BT, and accompanying arguments make this script behave differently when in that other app. When I do this, it goes like so: function TheScript (args) {
function hexDecode (inStr) {
var r = ""; for (var i = 0; i < inStr.length; i += 2) { r += unescape("%" + inStr.substr(i, 2)); } return r;
};
function hexEncode (inStr) {
var r = ""; var i = 0; var h; while (i < inStr.length) { h = inStr.charCodeAt(i++).toString(16); while (h.length < 2) { h = h; } r += h; } return r;

It actually fails, and if I got the error alert working it would be saying that it's a syntax error. In this case the source text is the jsxbin characters. Alerting something like alert(TheScript.toString()) will say "function TheScript { [compiled code] }". As the source is now this encoded string, I am wondering if there's any way to work around this and still get the function text for use in code for the purposes of sending a method to another application via BT and also pack in some arguments. This is the bridgetalk message which results when this technique is executed with JSXBINs:
function hexDecode() { [compiled code] } ; eval(decodeURI(hexDecode('25304166756e6374696f6e2532305468655363726970742829253230253742253041253230253230253230253230253542636f6d70696c6564253230636f646525354425304125374425304125304154686553637269707428272537422532326d6574686f642532323a25323270734d6574686f642532322c2532326170704e616d652532323a25323270686f746f73686f7025323225374427293b')))
As you see, the method contents are ruined. The encoded script string is actually:
function TheScript { [compiled code] }
Maybe a work-around could be to develop a normal script, then make a process which stringifies a script by turning it into something that theoretically can be passed into eval() as a concrete string. Afterwards maybe when this part gets converted to jsxbin, it may be able to get the real code text. Or it may also just keep on with the [compiled code]. 🤔

You can get the symbol by name like other items in Illustrator, with the 'getByName' method:
#target illustrator
function test(){
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var s = doc.symbols.getByName("DateField_over");
alert(s.name);
};
test();

Yes, are you able to dig into the node_modules and examine the exact files which are being imported to detect a difference which may shed some light on just this import keyword issue. In the case that your normally working items are all a certain way that svgo is not, it may be possible then to somehow make edits and rectify such a difference.

Try to set the preference, and then open a new document to see if the new grid spacing is set like you want. If not, try to restart Illustrator to check whether it is properly set on the next time you open Ai. If so, then we know it's something that just affects preference items either on new document or app restart. It probably just works on restart. And, unfortunately this may be the end of the road for Ai scripting because it may be one of those things that is quite limited in our world. You may still be able to automate this portion somehow by using various macro apps on the market, AppleScript & VBS with their ability to send keys and tab to various UI controls, or AutoHotKey for Windows which can send keys as well as find image areas on screen and click in any particular spot you wish.

Unexpected token import? Hmm does the svgo have the same kind of file being imported as the ones that are working? I wonder if there's an issue with the ones that are not svgo using commonJS and svgo maybe using esm or something.

Try to alert the app name only in the Ai script with that execute script method, there could have been a case where there was not an open document and it failed silently.

Someone from the community with advanced skills is helping Adobe to upgrade and make usable the ESTK extension. The good news is, it's now available for some sort of usage or testing at this location: https://forums.adobeprerelease.com/exmancmd/discussion/146/windows-compatible-extendscript-debugger-2-0-beta-0-5-for-visual-studio-code/
The new 2.0 ESTK VSCode debugger may resolve your issues and my issues, I have yet to give it a go.
I have been scaping by with alerts for the last year but I switched everything to typescript. So, my net gain regarding using alerts to trace errors along with the TS is just better-placed alerts. I will soon try using this new ESTK and see what it does. I hope it's able to let me get back into debugging with breakpoints in normal situations, but also in more complex situations such as debugging BrigeTalk scripts.
