Adobe%20Illustrator%20CS3 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?)

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.

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.
