Use of scripts is detailed in the Adobe Illustrator Help files:

A simple Google search for "How to use a script in Adobe Illustrator" or a search of the help files for "scripts" would have both turned up results.

To use that script (or any script for an Adobe application)....

  • Copy that script code to a text file
  • Save the text files as plain text (you can not use Word for this. You need a plain text editor - on Windows use Notepad, on a Mac use TextEdit) and title it whatever you want adding a .jsx suffix. So the final file should be something like "AddStrokes.jsx"
  • Place your .jsx file into Adobe Illustrator CSx/Presets/[language]/Scripts
  • Relaunch Adobe Illustrator

Now open your artwork, select some objects and choose File > Scripts > AddStrokes (or whatever you titled your file).

For the record that script does function correctly. At least in Illustrator CS6.
