More Illustrator export scripts
After the last about Exporting PNG files from Illustrator, the author of the script, Jack Westbrook, has come up new 3 scripts to cater for the requests that were left in the comments! Jack asked me to publish links to these, so how could I refuse? Enjoy!

Thanks for that Jon! Very useful indeed.
I also really need a script that exports illustrator layers to pdf files. (I don’t know if it’s even possible?)

Thank you!

Hey Matt,
I’ve started looking at a layers to pdf script but it’s not so straight forward due to illustrators wonderful way of exporting hidden layers to the pdf. I’ll let you know if I get anywhere with it.
Mac McBurney said 52 days ago:
Is there any way to get Illustrator to set the resolution property of the exported PNGs? I’d like to avoid manually opening and resaving each PNG in another application.
I see in the scripts where you are setting the dimensions of the exported images (with HorizontalScale and VerticalScale, though I don’t understand where the values come from).
PowerPoint, when importing a PNG, uses the pixels-per-inch property in the PNG file to establish the size image (in inches or cm.).
Also, can you recommend a scripting reference where a noob like me could find a list of the available parameters and possible values (as in options.antiAliasing, options.transparency, etc.)?
Thanks again for your work on these scripts.
