I’m make changes in a illustrator file by using a loop. After each loop I want
to “Save as” the file like this:
–Get the location of the orginal document
set theFile to (choose file with prompt “Select a illustrator doc”)
– Get a location for the exported files
set targetFolder to choose folder with prompt “Location for exported files”
set targetPath to targetFolder as string
– Open in illustrator
tell application “Illustrator CS”
open theFile
– make a reference from the theFile to documentName
tell application “Finder” to set documentName to name of theFile
repeat with teller from 1 to 5
--Change an object in the illustrator file
set the stroke width of page item1 of current ¬
document to teller
--Save the file each loop
save current document in file (targetPath & documentName¬
& teller) as pdf with options {class:PDF save options, ¬
preserve editability:true}
end repeat
end tell
Somehow it can only save the first loop encountered.
The strange thing is that if I do “export as jpeg” (or other bitmap
formats) there isn’t a problem.But (you guessed) I need the documents
in vector( So I can still edit them).
Some comments would be highly appreciated!
