Code/script to extract all the text in the Illustrator document?

Any who have code/script for this, or how to create the code to extract all the text on an active document in Illustrator. Extract the text as the text for any and all text elements in the document (TextFrameItem, TextRange, TextPath, etc.). We can just empty the text with alerts().

I'm not sure of is what order or hierarchy to retrieve the text. Where do we start from activeDocument.textFrameItems/TextRanges/etc. How are text in Illustrator? I'm new to Illustrator scripting.

Something as simple as that can do the trick.

It will act on all open documents.

you could then create a file and write to this alert, rather then just

for(var i = 0; i < app.documents.length; i++){
    for(var j = 0; j < app.documents[i].textFrames.length; j++){
        var str = app.documents[i].textFrames[j].contents;
        alert(str);
        }
    }

  • When I download compressed files, they go to the local &#62; temp location, when I extracted all the files, they are sent to the My Documents folder. Can I go to the local &#62; temp location and delete the zip file?

    When I download compressed files, they go to the local level > temp location, when I extracted all the files, they are sent to the My Documents folder. Can I go to local > temp location and delete the zip file? Knowing that I still have the data in the My Documents folder.

    Once they are checked, of course. If you want to keep a backup, you can move the zip file in your documents folder.

    In fact, you can delete everything in the temporary folder that is not currently in use. Best time to do this removal is immediately after the start, before launching other applications.

    I installed 5.6.2 Pages but all my old documents will open with ' 08 v.3.03 How can I remove the Pages ' 08 and update all the old documents

    5 pages is located in your Applications folder.

    Pages ' 08 is located in your Applications/iWork ' 08 folder.

    If you open your old documents Pages ' 08 with 5 Pages it will convert and if not damage, remove a large number of useful features.

    You will probably regret upgrading to 5 Pages which Apple has made extremely inconsistent and keeps changing its file format.

    What version of Windows you want to transfer is irrelevant. What
    you need to do is just transfer to another computer.

    There are several approaches to do this. What is the best for you
    based primarily on the amount of data you transfer. Here are a few
    choice:

    1. transfer on diskettes.
    2. transfer to CDR or DVD.
    3. by email from the old machine, and read e-mail on the new
    one.
    4. the two computers on the network and simply copy the files on the
    network.
    5. temporarily (or permanently) install the old computer's hard
    drive in the new computer and just copy the top.
    6. use a USB

  • Script to remove all the images, text blocks, and the page numbers on a layer

    I have a 364 pages with 322 illustrations, photographs mainly, for offset printing.

    The photographs will be be overprinted with the varnish on a plate in the fifth, and I set it up as follows:

    On a new layer, (double layer 1) all photos are removed, but not their mounts.

    The frames are then filled with 100% black.

    All text blocks and page numbers must also be deleted.

    I realize I could have done this job easier if I put all the images on their own layer first, but unfortunately I do not have.

    Try the script in entry below. You must open the destination file, and you must put in the path and name where your source file. It will not choose a layer from background from the source file.

    var doc = activeDocument;
    var sDoc = open(sFile);

        var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
        var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
            var ref1 = new ActionReference();
            var idLyr = charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " );

    Any help is appreciated, the reason for which I need to check all the .bat and .cmd files is to ensure that the scripts on a cluster are all data, so need them all listed in a doc if possible
