I'm on 19.2.1 and if I have a TextFrameItem selected, app.activeDocument.selection[0].textRange.horizontalScale = 100 returns 100, but does not actually get applied to the TextFrameItem. Many other values work, just not 100. The closest I can get is 100.01.
Am I missing something?
Hi All,
I need to check whether any character have opacity. I tried the following codings, but it shows all characters as error.
var myframe = app.activeDocument.textFrames;
for(i=0; i<myframe.length; i++)
{ var myCharacters = myframe[i].characters; for(j=0; j<myCharacters.length; j++) { if(myCharacters[j].opacity != 100) { alert("Error: Check some text has opacity") } } }
Regards,
Karthi

Hello everyone,
I am working on a file saving script. I am trying to figure out how to send information from bridge to my illustrator script. I need to know the file path that is active in bridge, I can do this in a bridge script by app.document.presentationPath; I am just trying to send that information to use in illustrator for my file saving.
#target "illustrator-60.064"
var targetApp = BridgeTalk.getSpecifier( "bridge-5.064");
if( targetApp ) {
var bt = new BridgeTalk;
bt.target = targetApp;
bt.body = app.document.presentationPath; //error
bt.send();
}
alert (bt);
I'm new to bridgetalk I have never used it, I know I am using it wrong hence the error lol, if anyone could get me on track it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!
First, I know nothing about scripting or writing code. That being stated, I am trying to use a script to change the swatch names in a PDF file in Illustrator CC 2015 for the PC. Below is what I have cobbled together. When the script hits the doc.swatches line I receive a "i is undefined." I also changed the name of the swatches for the privacy purposes. Thank you.
var docs = File.openDialog("Select Files to Open", "*.pdf", true);
var idx = 0;
for (idx = 0; idx < docs.length; ++idx) {
var doc = app.open(docs[idx]);
var myCounter = 0;
for (myCounter = 0; myCounter < doc.layers.length; myCounter++) {
doc.layers[myCounter].locked = false;
}
doc.swatches[i].name = doc.swatches[i].name.split('SwatchA').join('AlphaSwatch');
doc.swatches[i].name = doc.swatches[i].name.split('SwatchB').join('BetaSwatch');
}
I am using a script that will allow me to change an illustrator asset link location from my high res asset library to low res asset library or thumb drive and back. I would like to change the script to change the thumb drive to a Box Sync folder. I am able to get the link path to switch from my HR or LR library to Box Sync, but not back from Box Syn to HR or LR.
I am running Mac OS 10.11.4 with Illustrator CC 2015 18.0.0.
Here is my two scripts. First is my thumb drive that works and then my Box Sync that works only one way.

I currently have a javascript which amends swatches, but first I need it to "Add Used Colors" to generate the swatches from objects in the document. Is there javascript for this?
I try find:
Illustrator CS6 can load and unload action by:
oIllustrator.loadAction("C:\Set_Action.aia")
oIllustrator.unloadAction("Set_Action", "")
But with Illustrator CS5 i can't find these Function.
Does Illustrator CS5 support function loadAction?
Hello gays!
Please, can anyone help me to write a script which converts a text frame with text inside to 2 threaded 2-columned text frames residing on different artboards? The size of the columned frames is equal but each time varies, so maybe the script can ask for the size? The gutter size is 3 mm, the font size should be 12 pt, the interline distance 14 pt. Thank you!
Hi all, I'm trying to create a Pattern Swatch out of the Selected Object, so I'm using
app.executeMenuCommand ('Define Pattern Menu Item');
this successfully adds the swatch to the swatches panel, but it also brings up the Pattern Options Panel and goes into "Pattern Editing Mode" where in the UI one could either click on "Cancel", "Done" or "Exit Editing Mode" buttons...
the problem is I can't exit out of the Pattern Editing Mode, has anyone discovered if there is a MenuCommand for it?
thanks

The gutter size is 3 mm, the font size should be 12 pt, the interline distance 14 pt.
Sorry for bad English!
I guess the initial textframe should be scaled and converted to to 2-columned then another text frame created on a new artboard and then both threaded but I don't know from what to start...
how to read/get the information of a pdfpreset using js?

I have tried to write a simple script to avoid breaking digits and following units, for example, "15 ml" should be in one line, not "15" in one, and "ml" in the next.
Here is the code but I cannot realize how to attribute NoBreak property to the found text.
Can anybody help me?
var frames = app.activeDocument.textFrames;
for (var j = 0; j < frames.length; j++){
var text = frames[j].textRange;
var haystack = text.contents;
var needle = /[\d]\s[\a-z]/gi;
var match;
while(match = needle.exec(haystack)){
var start = needle.lastIndex - match[0].length;
var end = match[0].length;
for (var i = 0; i< end; i++){
characterAttributes.noBreak=true); <============ this line is incorrect
}
}
}
