We recently received a large set of .eps files that needed to be scaled, optimized and converted to .png format to use in an iOS and Android project. Here is a simple script you can use with Illustrator to process these. Save the code below as a javascript file. Then in Illustrator navigate to choose File > Scripts > Other Script and select the script.
var destFolder, sourceFolder, files, fileType, sourceDoc, targetFile, pngExportOpts; // Select the source folder. sourceFolder = Folder.selectDialog( 'Select the folder with Illustrator files you want to convert to PNG', '~' ); // If a valid folder is selected if ( sourceFolder != null ) { files = new Array(); fileType = prompt( 'Select type of Illustrator files to you want to process. Eg: *.ai', ' ' ); // Get all files matching the pattern files = sourceFolder.getFiles( fileType ); if ( files.length > 0 ) { // Get the destination to save the files destFolder = Folder.selectDialog( 'Select the folder where you want to save the converted PNG files.', '~' ); for ( i = 0; i < files.length; i++ ) { sourceDoc = app.open(files[i]); // returns the document object // Call function getNewName to get the name and file to save the pdf targetFile = getNewName(); // Call function getPNGOptions get the PNGExportOptions for the files pngExportOpts = getPNGOptions(); // Export as PNG sourceDoc.exportFile( targetFile, ExportType.PNG24, pngExportOpts ); sourceDoc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES); } //alert( 'Files are saved as PNG in ' + destFolder ); } else { alert( 'No matching files found' ); } } /********************************************************* getNewName: Function to get the new file name. The primary name is the same as the source file. **********************************************************/ function getNewName() { var ext, docName, newName, saveInFile, docName; docName = sourceDoc.name; ext = '.png'; // new extension for png file newName = ""; for ( var i = 0 ; docName[i] != "." ; i++ ) { newName += docName[i]; } newName += ext; // full png name of the file // Create a file object to save the png saveInFile = new File( destFolder + '/' + newName ); return saveInFile; } /********************************************************* getPNGOptions: Function to set the PNG saving options of the files using the ExportOptionsPNG24 object. **********************************************************/ function getPNGOptions() { // Create the PDFSaveOptions object to set the PDF options var pngExportOpts = new ExportOptionsPNG24(); // Setting PNGExportOptions properties. Please see the JavaScript Reference // for a description of these properties. // Add more properties here if you like pngExportOpts.antiAliasing = true; pngExportOpts.artBoardClipping = false; pngExportOpts.horizontalScale = 350.0; // scaling to 350% pngExportOpts.saveAsHTML = false; pngExportOpts.transparency = false; pngExportOpts.verticalScale = 350.0; // scaling to 350% return pngExportOpts; }
