Trying to batch convert .eps files to .ai files. In best of worlds I would like to make sure they are CS6-version, CMYK and that the .eps file is trashed. The .ai file should be placed in the same place as the old .eps file.
But anyway if its just possible to make the modification of this script so that it takes whatever files I have selected in the finder and runs the script thats good enough (I use Keyboard Maestro to trigger the script with a hotkey).
This is the script I use, and it works fine (only thing is that it prompts for both in and out folder):
set FileSample to (choose folder with prompt “Choose an input folder.”) as string
set MyFolderA to (choose folder with prompt “Choose an output folder.”) as string
tell application “Finder” to set theFiles to files of folder FileSample whose name extension is in {“eps”} or kind contains “EPS”
repeat with oneFile in theFiles
tell application “Adobe Illustrator”
activate
open (oneFile as alias) without dialogs
tell front document
set docBaseName to name
if (characters -4 thru -1 of docBaseName) as string is ".eps" then
set docBaseName to (characters 1 thru -5 of docBaseName) as string
end if
set newFileName to (MyFolderA & docBaseName & ".ai") as string
try
set locked of every layer to false
end try
try
set locked of every page item to false
end try
set theTexts to every text frame
set selection to theTexts
convert to paths (every text frame)
end tell
save front document in file newFileName as Illustrator with options {class:Illustrator save options, compatibility:Illustrator 11, compressed:true, embed ICC profile:false, embed linked files:true, font subset threshold:100.0, PDF compatible:true}
close front document saving no
end tell
end repeat
tell application “Adobe Illustrator”
activate
display dialog “Done.” buttons {“OK”} default button 1
end tell
