ExportType.SVG "Use Artboards" option

I am trying to export layers to SVG, but I need to access the "Use Artboards" option in my ExportType.SVG options.  I do not see it in the Javascript reference: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/pdf/illustrator/scrip ting/cs6/Illustrator-Scripting-Reference-JavaScript.pdf
Suggestions?
Thank you guys so much!

In the latest version of Illustrator (CS6), there is no export as SVG.  There is "Save As" SVG, and that has the option checkbox "Use Artboards". 
Unfortunatly, there is no "Save As" method that I can find, hence the Document.exportFile.  When I run the script, it is including everything in the file, regardless of the layers or artboard position.
Here is the script:
var folder = Folder.selectDialog();
var document = app.activeDocument;
if(document && folder)
          var options = new ExportOptionsSVG();
          options.compressed = false;
          options.preserveEditability = false;
          var n = document.layers.length;
          for(var i=0; i<n; ++i)
                    hideAllLayers();
                    var layer = document.layers[i];
                    layer.visible = true;
                    var file = new File(folder.fsName+"/"+layer.name+".png");
                    document.exportFile(file, ExportType.SVG, options);
          showAllLayers();
function hideAllLayers()
          forEach(document.layers, function(layer) {
                    layer.visible = false;
function showAllLayers()
          forEach(document.layers, function(layer) {
                    layer.visible = true;
function forEach(collection, fn)
          var n = collection.length;
          for(var i=0; i<n; ++i)
                    fn(collection[i]);
I might be going about this the wrong way, but it feels like I am close.  If there is someway to remove the extra pieces... maybe if I duplicate the document and delete all other layers per export? 
I am open to ideas.  Thanks!

  • Use Artboards disabled when trying to save as PDF in Illustrator CS4

    Hi, I'm relatively knew to Illustrator coming from Photoshop and I've been struggling with this problem for days now. I've searched everywhere but can't seem the find the answer.
    I'm trying to save my document to send to a client as a mock-up. When I try to save as PDF the tick box for "Use Artboards" is disabled, so when I save it saves the whole canvas instead of only what is on the artboard. When I try to export  I can tick the tick box but the document still saves the whole canvas with everything that is "hanging off" the artboard too.  The artboard is the exact size of the document.
    Any help would be much appreciated. 
    Many Thanks V

    When saving as pdf "Use Artboards" is always on and dimmed so you cannot turn it off but it is valid only if you have more than one artboard and this will give you the range option to type which artboards will be saved as different pages in the pdf.  This has nothing to do with saving things off the artboard (clip to artboard). If you save as pdf with Preserve Illustrator Editing Capability checked, everything will be saved anyway and noting will be clipped or trimmed if you open the pdf file in Illustrator. If you save with this option off, depending on the version the content outside the artboard will be hidden by using a clipping mask. However, in both cases opening the file in Acrobat will not display content outside the artboards.
    edit: you can use "Clip to Artboard" option if you save to a raster image by choosing Save for Web and devices.

  • Save File as SVG using Illustrator

    Generous Helper,
    I am trying to save the file as .SVG format using illustrator..
    Openin in notepad the saved file shows the elements and attribute like:
    <svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"
      width="800px" height="600px" viewBox="0 0 800 600" enable-background="new 0 0 800 600" xml:space="preserve">
    <rect x="132.286" y="53" fill="none" width="161.429" height="17.857"/>
    <text transform="matrix(1 0 0 1 132.2856 61.52)" font-family="'MyriadPro-Regular'" font-size="12">Name</text>
    <rect x="137.286" y="87.286" fill="none" width="102.143" height="10.714"/>
    </svg>
    I like to see the elements and attributes like:
    <g transform="translate(100,100)">
    <text id="TextElement" x="0" y="0" style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:24"> Name !
    <animateMotion path="M 0 0 L 100 100" dur="5s" fill="freeze"/>
    </text>
    </g>
    The difference between both the files is
    text id="TextElement" , so that I can use this as pointer for data to enter.
    can someone tell me how I can achieve the code no# while saving the file as .SVG using Illustrator.  While writing of my own .SVG file like code # 2 , I can write it and it is very well valid.
    But I want illustrator write me the same style of code. I played around various options but every time I am getting the same style of code ( Code # one) using illustrator.
    Thanks,

    Hi —
    I'm a newbie to the forum reply system, but I try to check in for good info quite often.
    If you are going to work with SVG and text input-output, you should be using the Variables palette and a schema architecture for your data. Start with reading the Help PDF "Data-driven graphics". There are a lot of considerations, up-front decisions and setup to prepare, but the pay-off is worth it. Also see the "About data sets" and "About variable libraries". Since this is an "open standard" there are element and property rules that are out on the XML site (you probably are already aware of these) and can help when swapping one element's name for another if you need to transform the output on the fly. You can actually build database exchanges without paying for a proprietary conversion application by using XML — if both databases are XML-friendly.
    I'm sure if you go out to an XML forum, there are folks out there that can help with the output; once the file is saved as an SVG with the appropriate element names and setup. A helpful hint is not to save with Illustrator editing options. It saves two files then: one in SVG and the other in Illustrator, along with other errata. You can still edit the file without that option by simply opening it in Illustrator at any time, although you will see it has been "dumbed-down" a bit. SVG is cool, but not as mature as it should be and it does odd outputs when there are a lot of layers or clipping paths. If you are using an earlier version of Illustrator, the text can be fractured into individual letters and would need to be re-entered. The KISS method is the best route, although I have seen some awesome animations using SVG. Also, there are rumblings that CS3 and 4 cannot be opened in some other applications... I'm still researching that one.
    Whenever I plan XML text interchange, I approach it as a separate project from the actual graphic like an extension that can surround it. It doesn't matter which you do first, the graphic layout and then the text interchange or visa versa... as long as you see them both as equally time-consuming for the initial set-up. Just because it is easy to type in the text and see it output, doesn't mean it will bend to your needs without a well-thought-out plan.
    Hope this is of some help.
    You may want to check out http://www.svgopen.org and http://www.svgopen.org/2009/ and the latest http://twitter.com/svgopen/ and http://www.planetsvg.com - see who might be  represented from Adobe Illustrator (or not) since they are no longer supporting SVG (this year, anyway).

  • Why don't grab handles work using artboard tool?

    Using CS6. In the artboard window, I select an artboard tool icon next to an artboard. The artboard displays selected, with the usual grab handles at corners and the middle of sides that in Adobe-world always signal that an object can be resized. I am unable, however, to select the grab handles. When I try to do so, "beep."
    An Artboard Options panel has also opened. i can resize the artboard by changing the Width and Height, but I have to guess what I want. If I close this panel, the grab handles go away.
    What is going on?

    Just select the Artboard tool in the Tools palette in order to resize the artboard as you desire.

  • Artboard Options   Ruler Pixel Aspect Ratio

    In the Artboard Options dialog, under Display, there is something called "Ruler Pixel Aspect Ratio." I see what it does, but why would anyone ever change it to anything besides 1?

    Scott Falkner wrote:
    Because their shîtty monitor does not have square pixels.
    Huhwha? It looks like it just changes the aspect ratio (as its name suggests). So say I have an artboard that is 10" wide, its ruler shows 1,2,3…thru 10 inches. If I change the ratio to 2. then the ruler displays as 1 thru 5 inches (see attached pic). My question is, when is that useful?

  • Error while using selection option variable in the selection screen

    Hi All,
    I am facing an issue while using selection option variable in the selection screen for one of my reports.
    Scenario: For the field "Region From" we need to have wild card logic () in tes selection screen, for example if we put "BE" in the selection screen for the field Region From then the query should be executed only for those "Region From" values which begin from "BE".
    Approach: For the above requirement I have made a selection option variable for "Region From". This allows use wild card
    But when the report is executed we get the following error:
    "System error in program CL_RSR_REQUEST. Invalid filter on ETVRGNFR".
    (ETVRGNFR is technical name of the info object Region From)
    Though the report is executed it displays all the values for the field "Region From" irrespective of the selection given in the selection screen.
    Please give suggestions / alternate solutions to crack this issue.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Priyanka.

  • Since I installed Nero 2104 I get an error message when I try to start iTunes: registry settings changed probably due to other cd/dvd burning program please reinstall iTunes, which I've done using repair option but the problem persists...?

    Since I installed Nero 2014 I get an error message when I start iTunes that registry settings for importing and burning cds/dvds have changed probably due to other burning software installed please reinstall iTunes, which I've done using 'repair' option, but the problem persists. I have been able to import cds to iTunes since I installed Nero, but it won't anymore. Does anyone recognize this problem and have a solution? Thanks for any help. Using Windows 7.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

    If you're still getting the error message (especially when you plug in the Touch), I'd check for a device filter confusion on the PC. (They can affect the connection of USB devices to a PC, as well as burning and importing CDs.) For that one, see:

    Can I just bring my laptop to the nearest service center and get this problem solved directly? You know, usually it will takes several days to receive the backup keyborad, I can't wait
    You'll have to phone the service center and ask. (When I lived not far from Lenovo's Canadian service center and wanted to bring in a ThinkPad for warranty repair they said that would be OK with them but my unit would be put on a queue the same as if I'd shipped it in. They simply didn't offer walk-in, while you wait service.)
    In the interim it may or may not be possible to reattach the key, even just temporarily, depending on whether it wasn't put on properly at the factory or if it's physically broken in some way. Or you could use an external keyboard until Lenovo sends you a replacement, etc.
    I've just call the local service center, he told me that he can not repair individual key, they can just replace the whole keyboard..... How bad luck I am!!!
