Hi
I have a large number of graphic files I need to produce, the production of which I am looking to automate. What I need to do is
1.) Create a graphic in Illustrator containing two sets of objects (call them background and image).
2.) I then need to apply swatches to each of the two sets of objects 30 times over. i.e. I am looking at creating 900 graphic files from a single Illustrator file just by changing the swatches 30*30 times. Make sense?
3.) I would ideally like the scripting to generate (i.e. export) all the 900 files as PNG files without any user intervention.
It sounds like Javascript scripting might be a good way of achieving this. Does this sound like a problem that can be solved with Javascript scripting? I have done some client-side javascript coding so am reasonably familiar with the basic syntax but it is not clear to be how I apply the swatches to the objects in javascript. Any help to get me started would be much appreciated!
Thanks
Gary
