Outline stroke with Illustrator scripting

Hello everybody!
I'm making a script. I need to do the outline stroke action. I can't find it in the extendscript anywhere.
I can do it from a applescript and call it from my extendscript in CS6 BUT I need my script to run CS5.5 and run on a windows machine:
tell application "System Events"
click menu item "All" of menu "Select" of menu bar item "Select" of menu bar 1 of process "Adobe Illustrator"
click menu item "Outline Stroke" of menu "Path" of menu item "Path" of menu "Object" of menu bar item "Object" of menu bar 1 of process "Adobe Illustrator"
I have also found a way to do this in CS6 (app.executeMenuCommand ('Live Outline Stroke')) but i havent got it working yet. And its for CS6+ so I can't really use it if I cant force my users to upgrade
Anyone out there with an answer? It would help me alot. As I understand it you can call functions withing extensionscript if you have the right "action code" for it. Using the ActionDescriptor.
var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();
I have looked around and I cant find any documentation with a complete reference with the action codes. Do any one of you out there the action code for "Outline stroke"?
Thanks so much for your answer and effort.
Regards,
Ruy Ramos

Hello,
Thank you for this!! My question now is, is it possible to do this comand without the UI coming up?
I tried to set:
UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS
but nothing changes.
Do you know where there is a list of all the menucomands?
Thanks again
Regards,

Outline Stroke in Illustrator CS3 Broken?

It seems that Outline Stroke in Illustrator CS3 is broken in more ways than one. The bug I'm struggling with at the moment is that Outline Stroke seems to ignore the strokes alignment. For example, if I have the stroke of an object set to "outside" or "inside" (instead of center), outline stroke creates the outline of the stroke as if it were "center" aligned. I've checked that in CS4 this bug has been fixed, but I don't have access to CS4 at work. Does anyone know of a work around or patch that resolves this, or is an upgrade to CS4 the only option?
On a side note, Illustrator CS3 has to be the buggiest adobe application I've ever dealt with. It has so many little annoying bugs, most of which are fixed in CS4. I shouldn't have to pay for an upgrade to CS4 just to get bugs fixed though, that seems wrong.

You must not have used version 10.

How to outline text in illustrator scripting

I want to create storke in text in illustrator scripting and found one method too createoutline(),But How i used this method for text outline.

var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var colorForText = new CMYKColor();
    colorForText.black = 0;
    colorForText.cyan = 0;
    colorForText.magenta = 0;
    colorForText.yellow = 0;
var colorForTextOutline = new CMYKColor();
colorForTextOutline.black = 100;
colorForTextOutline.cyan = 0;
colorForTextOutline.magenta = 0;
colorForTextOutline.yellow = 0;
var outlineSize = 5;
for (i = docRef.textFrames.length-1; i >=0; i--) {
    for (j = 0; j < docRef.textFrames[i].words.length; j++){
        docRef.textFrames[i].words[j].filled = true;
        docRef.textFrames[i].words[j].fillColor = colorForText;
var outline = docRef.textFrames[i].duplicate(docRef, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND);
    for (h = 0; h < outline.words.length; h++) {
        outline.words[h].filled = true;
        outline.words[h].fillColor = colorForTextOutline;
        outline.words[h].stroked = true;
        outline.words[h].strokeColor = colorForTextOutline;
        outline.words[h].strokeWeight = outlineSize;
//docRef.textFrames[i].createOutline();
//outline.createOutline();
createOutline(); converts live text to outlines, if you are trying to just create a stroke you have to go about it a different way. This script will take the text and copy it, put it in back, and put a stroke behind on the behind text so it has an effect similar to an offset path. The way I have it leaves the text live, if you were wanting to convert the text to outlines as well I left that part written in the bottom of the script. There is also a StrokeJoin parameter as well.
Hope this helps!

Help with Illustrator Script! Batch convert files including subfolders - please help! :)

Hello,
I honestly have tried reading the other answers and researching to try to solve this problem. I'm sorry for my ignorance in this area. Please help!!!
I'm trying to make a script (for Illustrator CS2) that will batch convert several files to PNG files. The source folder has several subfolders and I need the script to go into the subfolders and convert those files as well. The destination directory should be an entirely separate folder but with the same hierarchy as the original source folder.
The script I have been using (that converts just as I need) is below. The only problem is it doesn't do the subfolders.
Any help would be so amazingly appreciated!

Ary you try to tell me that Illustrator can't have a outline stroke on editable text?

Ary you try to tell me that Illustrator can't have a outline stroke on editable text? Corel Draw have this.
I don't want to change to curves my text every time. I want it to e editable.
Why I can't use a outline stroke on text?

AU2,
You can just select the live Type with the (normal) Selection Tool, then click Add New Stroke in the Appearance palette flyout. After that you can select it with the (relevant) Type Tool and edit as you like.

Giving text outline stroke and path and uniting with other paths

How do I give Lucida handwriting a 2pt outline stroke, give it an outline path, then unite it with another shape path without the text losing it's outline stroke?? I can't bold Lucida handwriting as it only has an italic option, so need to give it an outline stroke to achieve a bold letter. As soon as I give it an outline path and unite it to other shape paths the 'bold'ness disappears and it reverts to it's original size. I hope this makes sense! Any help would be appreciated.

You are welcome, drive.
What you will be looking for is what is called a flowing script (probably a casual flowing script); script fonts are those remembling handwriting.
You may have a look at this website, where you can click (Formal or) Casual Flowing Script and see many different ones (which may give you an overview and possibly some inspiration),
http://www.bowfinprintworks.com/Script07Pg1.html
or you can just search the web for (casual) flowing script font.

How to solve illustrator cs6 save as cs5 problem about the stroke(when the stroke with clipping mask and color is gradient, save as cs5 will change to embed ).

how to solve illustrator cs6 save as cs5 problem about the stroke(when the stroke with clipping mask and color is gradient, save as cs5 will change to embed ).

Because it was not possible to apply a gradient to a stroke in CS5. When you open the file in CS5, it is reduced to something that can be rendered in CS5.

OOTB script supplied with Illustrator CC does not work

Hi everybody,
I'm searching someone that could tell me how to use the scrpit supplied out-of-the box with Illustrator CC whose french name is "EnregistrerDocAuFormatSVG". As I have only a french version of the product, I do not know the english name. This script is supposed to export all opened files in Illustrator in SVG format in a suppplied folder.
Each time I used it, the SVG that is done is not correct whereas the same operation I have done manually using "Save As..." is working. In other words, the SVG done manually is not the same as the SVG done using the script !!!
So I think that there are some errors in the script or some missing configuration.
Please help me solve this problem.
I already post a french post for this problem, but it seems that the community is more english people...so I repost the post in english.
I will also post the same post in "Scripting Illustrator forum", because I do not know which forum is the best to receive such a problem.
Eric.

Thanks you,
Hi,
I was just reading this part of reference guide when you answered to me.
After some tries, I succeded modyfing the original script so that SVG is saved in a good way...
But now my work is not finished: I need to automate this three steps in whatever way.
I thought that the best way was to automate the processus of loading a file and running the script using automation...but even if the program is working, the result is not good (I do not understand why). When having a phone call with support technical team, I understood that whereas Illustrator permits to automate, this operation is not supported.
So I have to find another way that is supported by Adobe to do the same thing as the automation function...
I though that I could write a command line that could take a paramter (my input file I want to convert) and run Illustartor with some program line parameters.
Is there some way to run a script after having open a file in Illustrator ?
Eric.

Gradient with stroke problem Illustrator CS3

We make a gradient object in Illustrator CS3 and give it a stroke which is centered. Then we rotate the object and the gradient rotates with the object.
But then when we put the stroke alignment to inside or outside the gradient fails. It shows the gradient in the original 0-position instead of the angle we have created. When we put the stroke alignment back to center the gradient shows as we meant it to show again.
When stroke alignment is on outside or inside before we rotate the object it shows the same problem.
But when I copy an object from CS2 with an angled gradient and a inside or outside aligned stroke. The problem isn't there. When we start copying the object within CS3 the problem shows again (not when I use alt-key to copy, but with ctrl+c and then ctrl+v, ctrl+f or ctrl+b).
Illustrator CS2 didn't have this problem. But now in CS3 we have it. I used to have this same problem in old versions from Macromedia Flash. But I never had it with Illustrator.
Is this a bug or do we need to handle our gradients in a different way when using Illustrator CS3?

It's a memory issue. If you scale your artwork down (say, to 50%), then save, it should work (it can be scaled up in the page layout software). If you're using raster effects you'll have to make sure they scale as well and that your raster effects resolution is appropriate for the final output size.

Outlined type with a thick black stroke and transparent fill

I want to create outlined type with a transparent fill and a thick black stroke. This video describes what I want, but instead of a white fill I'd like a transparent fill (https://youtu.be/iqHjU2hiWAo). Thanks!

You could use the Pathfinder > Divide tool. Create a copy of the original outlined text. You set the stroke, say an 18pt ( really thick ), then outline the stroke. On the copy positioned over the original, select both and then Pathfinder Divide. Remove all strokes / fills inside the outlines to get the transparency you want.

$300 For 2 Photoshop/Illustrator scripts- Applescript Preffered

I have been meaning to write these myself for months, but have been too busy, so we're trying to hire someone.
We would prefer these to be mostly Applescript, because I know Applescript and will be able to modify/maintain them, but we might consider all Javascript if there are no bites on Applescript.
There are probably bits in here that are not accessible to Applescript, that would need to be in Javascript. I think color overlays are not in the scripting dictionary and need to be figured out with scripting listener. That's fine, as necessary, to call Javascript from an Applescript. We just want it to be in Aplescript as much as possible.
If you're interested, please contact me:
[personal info removed by moderator]
I assume that if you're interested, you'd want more information. We can provide example files in the "before" and finished states, talk or email about any questions you have, and I also have examples of some steps of the scripts functioning for reference.
Here is the outline of the two scripts:
Script 1: Assign Color Overlay
Overview:
This script would need to do the following in Adobe Photoshop. The script will be run from a command key.
Script Steps:
1. Ideally, read the current swatches on the swatch pallet in Photoshop. If this is a pain/impossible, then we’re open to getting this info from somewhere else. We can save out the info needed as a .csv or .txt and the script can just load it from there.
2. When the script is run, it presents a dialog with a list of the colors from the swatch pallet. The user chooses a color from the list.
3. It applies the color selected as a "Color Overlay" Layer Effect to the currently selected layer. If the layer already has a color overlay effect, it updates it to the selected color. The color overlay effect is applied with the “Screen” blending mode.
4. It changes the layer name to the name of the color that was selected
Script 2: Save Files and Convert Photoshop File to Spot Color Raster EPS
Overview:
The script will save out the active Photoshop file in multiple copies in different ways, place data on the clipboard, and then use Illustrator to convert one of the Photoshop files to a different format.
The open file when the script is run will always be a Photoshop file with layers, with the topmost layers named by colors as specified by the above “Script 1.” The files can have an arbitrary number of layers, but will all be in this format:
first layer [Some Color Name]
arbitrary number of additional layers, each with color names
Shirt [ <- this is a solid color layer]
Art [<- this is a single group containing arbitrary layers]
Script Steps:
1. The active file is saved out exactly as it is. When the script’s run, it presents a save dialog. The operator chooses the save folder location and file name. I will refer to this as “The Save Folder” The script will then check to see if there’s an “Art” folder in The Save Folder. If there is, it saves the file there. If not, it creates the “Art” folder and saves it there. If the file already exists, it automatically overwrites and does not provide a dialog about it.
2. Another copy is saved using “Save For Web. The original file was at 300 dpi and this copy is saved out bicubic down sampled to 72 dpi with the same inch dimensions. The save settings are {JPEG – High, Progressive – off, Optimized – on, Embed Color profile – off, Quality – 72, Blur – 0, Matte – none, Convert To sRGB – yes} This one has the same file name as the first copy (except for the file extension) and is saved in The Save Folder.
3. A flat copy of the art at the same dimensions but downsampled to 18 dpi is placed on the clipboard.
4. An intermediate file for Illustrator conversion is saved. This should probably be saved in a new folder in The Save Folder called “Intermediate Files.” This folder needs to be checked for and created only if necessary. The file should have a naming scheme such as “Intermediate File” & [existing file name]. This file is identical to file 1, except:
- the shirt layer and art folder are removed. This should probably be scripted as deleting the layer named “shirt” and everything below it in the file.
- all the color overlays are removed (or turned off)
5. Close the file.
6. Open the intermediate file in Illustrator with the “Convert Layers to Objects” option.
7. Select All
8. Edit -> Edit Colors -> Convert to Greyscale
9. Cycle through each layer one at a time and change the fill color to the swatch from an open Illustrator swatchbook called “Current Inks” with the same name as the layer name.
To clarify this previous step, our artists will be working off the same .ASE color swatchbook in both Photoshop and Illustrator. In Photoshop, the colors from this .ASE will be used as color overlays on layers. The file needs to be imported to Illustrator and have the same colors applied as fill colors of the raster objects that were the Photoshop layers. The color information is being conveyed from Photoshop to Illustrator through the layer names in Photoshop.
10. Save this file to The Save Folder as a .AI with the same name and “CONV”
11. Delete the intermediate file.

@Jongware -- thanks for your thoughts! I hated to think that I was going to be on the plank all by myself here... :-)
@TomT-shirts -- no worries. Given your articulate RFP, I suspected that something was amiss here, not the least of which was the fact that the numbers seemed to have been misinterpreted, I knew what was happening and probably why it was happening before I posted, so I was just trying to diplomatically (or not?!?) trying to alert both parties of a problem. You are (in my opinion and I think others' as well) perfectly fine in posting the listing here. How else would anyone know about your need and a possible opportunity for folks here that are able to help? SO that's all good. Where I (at least) felt the problem was/is is the continuing of the "transaction" "on-forum", which you clearly explained how that happened. Empathetic to your potential public disclosure of additional private information (as noted by @Jongware) is why I thought that it might be a good idea to step up and implicitly suggest taking it off-forum, not even knowing "how" it happened on your end. Also good points by @Jongware about the closure of such threads, something that I never really thought about.
So, at least from my perspective, keep 'em coming (at least the projects and questions :-)) and please do let everyone know that you were well taken care of by the folks here on this forum by a comment afterwards to "close" the thread as suggested by @Jongware. A pretty smart group they are (myself humbly excluded).
And -- best of luck on your project!!!! :-)

"Outline stroke" command makes an unwanted rectange around shapes. Help

Hi,
I'm experiencing weird problem. I have an Art brush (scatter brush) which I sampled from a 5 tiny black circles to get the spray look. And it looks great as long as it stays as an art brush stroke. But when I select the path representing my stroke and doing "Outline stroke" it gives me desired shapes but along with empty bounding box-like rectangle around each of the sample. How to eliminate this problem? Thanks in advance.

Do you mean this is normal procedure in Illustrator? Create shapes from art brush, and then delete dull rectangles around samples? I'm asking because for example Corel never had such problems, everything is straightforward - you select an art brush, converting it to shapes, and you're done. No excessive junk, no strange bounding boxes around samples etc..

Outline Stroke, Effects, and Appearances.

Dear Adobe Users, Please come to my aid, I am at my wit's end.
I am trying to recreate the effect described here (http://opentype.info/blog/2012/08/09/the-google-maps-effect-in-adobe-illustrator/) - to whit, a a non-destructive, merged series of paths with a complete outline, with paths that can be resized at will without affecting any other paths, and any overlap areas should merge.* I have only been able to replicate it once and I cannot seem to do it a second time. Every single time I go to Effect > Path > Outline Stroke, nothing happens: an ‘outline stroke’ effect tab is added on the appearance panel, but nothing at all happens to my lines, they don’t change in the slightest.
I can add all the outline stroke effects I want (in the appearance tab) - no effect. I can double click on the outline stroke - nothing happens. There's nothing to edit. I can move it around - no effect. I can get OBJECT > Path > Outline stroke to work, of course, but that is not non-destructive: it destroys my paths, and I can't add new paths or anything.
I cannot copy-paste the successful attempt into new layers. I cannot duplicate the layers into new files and have the effects still work. I cannot copy existing paths into the layer and use the eye-dropper to copy the effects.
Please, someone, come to my aid! What did I do right, and how can I do it again?

* I am aware that the article is from 2012 and was thus done on CS5, not CS6, but like I said, I did get it to work once in CS6 already.

I tried that, it didn't work. It just adds another stroke under the first - it doesn't work as an outline
