Ok this is what you do. You make a script that makes rectangles out of your artboards. Then Manipulate everything the way you want using the rectangles as geometry. Ignore your artboards. Then use a s …

This is not an answer but rather a long comment: Ok, so i played with your data in mathematica, while making food, by splitting the conditioned image you have now up and text recognizing each sliver. …

It is entirely infeasible to do this in illustrator scripting engine. The engine is relatively slow, and it takes closer to a second per file save. So lets say for an argument that it takes a second p …

Well obviously it would be possible for you to implement this. It wold just be quite a bit of work on the scripting layer. How well it would work depends on how much effort you want to put into it. Bu …

You can alt + drag the swatch from the gradient panel (or object color) into your existing swatches. You have to be a bit careful with this so you actually drag on the swatch not between the swatches. …

I would urge you to not to think of the program as a natural language (text is not what gets executed). But rather a object subobject lookup. It makes more sense thatway. So lets unpack it for you: my …

There is no way to acess this data in the documentation. The scripting API isnt actually a first class member of adobes development effort. So new features dont flow into it. Time to go for the c++ . …

It is not supposed to work. Script needs to be run by Adobe application not OS. Pretty normal stuff, compare this to wanting to open file in textEdit versus InDesign. Who runs something is just as imp …

You can store and retrieve stuff from illustrator settings with: app.preferences.setStringPreference('yournamespace/subvalue/subvalue', "text"); And read it with app.preferences.getStringPreference …

Illustrator does not expose a scene graph to users or even the script layer. Scripts are meant to do a thing and exit, there is very limitted amount of event hooks that you could depend on. So your sc …

Here is a naive implementation that sorts by each object in selection. It ignores groups and layers. It actually sorts by the furthest point along angle #target Illustrator { var sel = app.selec …

This is not actually a hard problem at all. Its just that your asking is a bit upside down. See what your describing is a automated process hands down a file and you want to leverage another automated …

They are like if they were separate programs from different companies (because that is what the separate divisions kindof are). They have some similarities but not that much (mainly because they use a …

I wanted to add a illustrator method that gives you a lot more artistic control. make a sequence of straight wiggly curves, this should be easy. At least much easier than moving the curved shape. M …

While you could change the script let me point a (obvious) trick that does not rely on you understanding how to change the script. Once youve done running the script: Select all the newly created te …
