Using Illustrator CS3 under 10.5, this script would work perfectly fine:

tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
	get file path of current document
end tell

resulting in:

In 10.6 however, it returns the following:

Any ideas what this might mean?

In fact, if anybody has Illustrator CS4 running under Snow Leopard, I would be very interested to know what value the above script returns.

I suddenly realised that the way around any incompatibilities with Applescript and Illustrator under 10.6 is probably to use “do javaScript”:

tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
	set myPathName to do javascript "activeDocument.fullName"
end tell

I haven’t got Illustrator on my machine at home, so I had to test this out on Photoshop, but I’d be very surprised if this doesn’t work for Illustrator.

Hi

Just out of interest this returns the filepath as an alias.

tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
	get file path of current document as alias
end tell

edit: this is CS3

cheers
