• How to replace a color in any plan of work in illustrator by using Javascript (without selecting all objects)

  

  A common way is to loop through every element in the document and change its values of the background color or contour, or in the case of text, attributes of character for the fill and the outline of the text characters. This can take some time if you have many objects. In addition, if you have the color applied via the graphic styles or appearances, they are not detectable via javascript. But if you had your spot colors, you can change the values of these tasks of swatch and color will be updated in all aspects of the document, including the graphic styles, brushes, etc..

  Here is an example of editing a fill for a TextBox inside a CMYK document:

  #target illustrator
  function test(){
      // must have cmyk document with one text frame (which contains at least one character) and one path for this test.
  
      // a simple function to assign the cmyk values to a cmyk color
      function editCMYKValues(affectedColorObject, c, m, y, k){
          affectedColorObject.cyan = c;
          affectedColorObject.magenta = m;
          affectedColorObject.yellow = y;
          affectedColorObject.black = k;
      };
  
      var doc = app.activeDocument;
      var t = doc.textFrames[0];
      var myTexFill = t.textRange.characterAttributes.fillColor;
  
      editCMYKValues(myTexFill, 100, 100, 25, 25);
  
      var p = doc.pathItems[0];
      editCMYKValues(p.fillColor, 25, 100, 100, 25);

• Select all objects with the same style of object?

  I did some research but empty is come. It is possible to select all the objects on a page that have the same style of applied object?

  What I want to do, is apply an action 'frame content' to a large group of text boxes (labels on a map). But this mounting option doesn't seem to be available as part of the style of the object.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you.

  Try using the option Auto-size text block rather in the style of the object. This feature (found in the object > text frame Options) is useful to the legends of autosize following certain rules.

  This attribute can be used in object styles.

• (CS3; JavaScript) how effectively "select all" / performing an action

  Hi all

  while I found little code to run applescript action I need to be able to do from JavaScript. The documentation does not mention at all of the shares.

  It would save me a lot of work if I could just perform an action that changes the color of the document to CMYK instead of having to duplicate all objects in a new document (I have already created the action and it works)

  This brings me to my other question: are there really no "select all"? It takes almost 2 seconds (at least if the Profiler is right) just to select a simple 300 objects in my test file. I need to batch process something like 30 records that could prove more complex and I don't like the idea to say to my colleagues that they should wait for so long...

  Is there a better way that a loop through pageItems and setting .selected = true?

  I could imagine performs an action that selects all objects (how to copy actions to others machines. btw?) or to run the shortcut (Ctrl + a).

  Thank you very much

  Good evening

  Void test_ai()

  Set myAi = CreateObject ("illustrator.application.CS4")
  Set myDocAi = myAi.ActiveDocument

  ' - An idea is to show, as a first step, the layers on which you want to select all objects.

  myDocAi.Layers ("myLayerWithObjects"). Visible = True
  myDocAi.ActiveLayer.Locked = False

  myDocAi.Layers ("mySecondLayerWithObjects"). Visible = True
  myDocAi.ActiveLayer.Locked = False

  ' - In a second step, you select all

  For each myLayers in myDocAi.Layers
  If myLayers.Visible = True Then myLayers.HasSelectedArtwork = True
  Next

  ' - and finally, you define a variable with your selection

  myselexion = myAi.Selection

  End Sub

  After that, you will probably identify each item of your choice.

• Call javascript function when select all is checked the report

  Hi Experts

  Ive a tabular manual from query below

  SELECT Apex_item.checkbox (1, ID, 'onclick = enableButton ()') select, a, b, c of table

  By choosing 1 or more checkbox individually, enableButton() is called, and works very well as expected

  However when select all is done, I do not know how to call the same function

  Position of column select is: < input type = "checkbox" onclick = "$f_CheckFirstColumn (this)" / > (topic is a checkbox, check, selects all rows in the report) "

  I tried: < input type = "checkbox" onclick = "$f_CheckFirstColumn (this)" onclick = "javascritp:enableButton(); "/ >. It does not help

  Is it possible to call the function when select all is checked?

• Select all the objects with 2pt STROKE?

  It is possible to select all objects with a particular characteristic, such as a specific line width? I know I can do this by selecting an object, and then choose Select all. But I want to include as part of a batch action, so I need to be able to specify the choice so that it can be completely automated. If I have to choose one of the objects for each file, it defeats the purpose of the action of batch processing.

  If this is not possible, I should ask in the forum script to help a script?

  NW

  With nothing selected, the value of the weight of the 2pt race. Now select > same > weight of the race.

  Set the weight of the race is registrable and if nothing is selected, then select it > same commands using what is defined in the panels.

• Select all the fields of the same type?

  Y at - it an easy way to select all fields in all of the document of the same type (all text fields, or select all of the checkboxes)? This way I can edit them all at once for the same properties. It would be easier than several selections of drag or picking out of the field list.

  You can place the following script as the mouse Up JavaScript for temporary button. Or you can copy them into the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl + J), select all and press Ctrl + Enter to execute it.

  To loop through all the fields in the form

  for (var i = 0; i)< numfields;="" i++)="">

  Get a reference to the current field

  var f = getField (getNthFieldName (i));

  Put a yellow background

  and the style of check to cross

  If (f.type = "checkbox") {}

  f.fillColor = color.yellow;

  f.style = style.cr;

  }

  }

  You will need to change to change field properties to change. They are documented in the Acrobat JavaScript reference, which is included in the free Acrobat SDK. Post again if you need help with the names or values you want to use.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Muhammad.eloc,

  You can try something like this:

  app.activeDocument.activeLayer.pathItems[0].transform(totalMatrix);
  

  for example the first element of the path in the active layer

• How can I select all checkboxes in a form?

  I use Adobe Acrobat Pro XI.  I want to select all the check boxes on the form and change the style to place a full square on a checkbox "enabled" to using a real check mark in the check box.  I can do this check box one at a time or select several checkboxes in scrolling down a dozen pages.  How can I just select all the boxes?  Why is there not a selection > select all > select all checkboxes, or equivalent?

  Thank you.

  You must write JavaScript to access each field, the type of field test and for each checkbox change the style.

  You can run the following script in the JavaScript console or by a button:

  var nNumFields = this.numFields; get the number of fields in the PDF file.
  Console.println ("There are" + nNumFields + "in this document.") display the number of fields;
  var cFieldName; variable to the name of the field to be addressed;
  var oField; varialbe for object file to process.
  for (i = 0; i< nnumfields;="" i++)="">
  get each field in the PDF file.
  cFieldName = this.getNthFieldName (i); Get i name field;
  oField = this.getField (cFieldName); get the field for a field named object;
  test to check bosx type;
  If (oField.type == "checkbox") {}
  style assigned to cross;
  oField.style = style.cr;
  Set other properties required
  display the field that was changed;
  Console.println (oField.name + "field type" + oField.type + "has been changed to a cross.");
  } / / end of type checkbox.
  } / / get field next to treat;

• Active script that selects all of the items spread

  I'm trying to find a 'simple' script that selects all elements on the page, either a group or individual items without using a dialog window. Is there a selection simple javascript to select all the objects on a page or spread for InDesign CS3? I'm new to this sort of thing script.

  Hey!

  PankChat is right, but you can't 'see' the selection.

  If you want to 'see' what is selected, try this:

  app.select(app.activeWindow.activePage.allPageItems);

• I'm trying implement highlight/select all mails from a particular sender to remove

  My Inbox needs serious editing. A lot of unwanted emails. I would like to delete e-mails in groups, but do not know how to select or highlight an entire group, which can then be removed.

  You can click on any column heading to sort by that column. Clicking the same header again reverses the sort.
  Then you use basic computer skills to select multiple items
  Click the point 1. Up or down several elements and hold down the SHIFT key when you click on the point 2. This allows to select the elements 1 and 2 and everything in between.
  Holding down the CTRL key and clicking on random element will select all clicked on element.
  Select an item. Press Ctrl + a to select.
  Hold down the CTRL key when you click on a selected item to deselect the item.
