I have a script that will apply a pattern swatch to the objects I want, but when I do, it resets any changes I have made to the scale or direction of the pattern. For example, I have a front and back object, the pattern on the front needs to be right side up and the back upside down. Is there a way apply the pattern and retain the orientation that I have previously given the object? Here is what I have:   var doc = app.activeDocument; var swatchFrontIndex = doc.swatches.length - 1; var swatchBackIndex = doc.swatches.length - 2; var swatchFront = doc.swatches[swatchFrontIndex].color; var swatchBack = doc.swatches[swatchBackIndex].color; var numbOfLayers = doc.layers.length; var designLayer = doc.layers[numbOfLayers - 1]; var numbOfItems = designLayer.pathItems.length;   try{ for(j = 0; j < numbOfItems; j++){ if(designLayer.pathItems[j].name == "Front"){ designLayer.pathItems[j].fillColor = swatchFront; } if(designLayer.pathItems[j].name == "Back"){ designLayer.pathItems[j].fillColor = swatchBack; } } }catch(err) {} ...

I have a script that will create an array of all open documents, then it will display each document with a checkbox next to it. I don't know what to do know though. I don't know how to get the script to do something with the checked documents. My goal is to have the checked documents remain open, and the rest get closed without saving. Here is my code so far   var docNames = [];   for(i = app.documents.length-1; i>-1; i--) {    app.documents[app.documents.length-1].activate();    var currentDocName = app.activeDocument.name.replace(".ai","");    docNames.push(currentDocName); }   var win = new Window ("dialog{text:'Which files to close?'}");   for(j = 0; j < docNames.length; j++){    win.abc = win.add ("checkbox", undefined, docNames[j]); }   win.quitBtn = win.add ("button", undefined, "OK"); win.defaultElement = win.quitBtn; win.show(); ...

Hey, I am looking for a way to revert my file to its original state after I run my script. I have been unable to find a way to do this. Is there a function that does this with Javascript? Or is it possible to have illustrator simply close the active document, then reopen it? ... View more

I am new to javascript and scripting and I'm looking for help to put together a script. I need this script to export multiple artboards to .tiff the the artboard name included in the saved file name. I know there are the properties artboardRange and saveMultipleArtboards, but how do you set it up to get the artboard name to reflect in saved file name? I pulled this code from the adobe scripting reference. function exportFileToPSD (dest) {     if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {         var exportOptions = new ExportOptionsTIFF();         var type = ExportType.TIFF;         var fileSpec = new File(dest);         exportOptions.resolution = 150;         exportOptions.byteOrder = TIFFByteOrder.IBMPC;         exportOptions.antiAliasing = true;         exportOptions.IZWCompression = false;         exportOptions.saveMultipleArtboards = true;         exportOptions.artboardRange = "1-2,7";         app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, type, exportOptions );     } } ...
