Hi, on the "more like this" panel to your right there another post, see if it helps

http://forums.adobe.com/message/4210592#4210592

in that thread, it is mentioned there's a script that ships with illustrator that collects the ai file and the placed images, but not the fonts.

one possible reason is you might not be an administrator, even if you are. Close illustrator and right click on it and chose "run as administrator", then try running the script.

Here is a package script I have been using. It collects linked files, but not fonts. Instead it ask whether or not you want to outline all text elements.

Only tested on a Mac though. Good luck. // Pascal

// This script exports a package of the currently active document.
// Choose output folder, and indicate whether or not you want to 
// outline text elements.
 
 
const FILE_SUFFIX = "-export";
const ASSET_SUFFIX = "-assets";
var doc = app.activeDocument;
if (!doc.saved) doc.save();
var original_file = doc.fullName;
 
 
 
 
// create text outlines if desired.
if (confirm("Create text outlines?", true)) { while (doc.textFrames.length != 0) { doc.textFrames[0].createOutline(); }}
 
 
 
 
// collect all linked files
var export_folder = Folder.selectDialog("Choose a folder to package into.");
var arr = doc.name.split(".");
var extension = "";
if (arr.length>1) extension = "." + arr.pop();
var filename = arr.join(".");
var assets_folder = new Folder(export_folder + "/" + filename + ASSET_SUFFIX);
if (assets_folder.exists || assets_folder.create()) {
          var i, in_file, out_file;
          for (i=0;i<doc.placedItems.length;i++) {
                    in_file = doc.placedItems[i].file;
                    out_file = File(assets_folder+"/"+in_file.name);
                    in_file.copy(out_file);
                    doc.placedItems[i].file = out_file;
          }
          for (i=0;i<doc.rasterItems.length;i++) {
                    if (doc.rasterItems[i].embedded) continue;
                    in_file = doc.rasterItems[i].file;
                    out_file = File(assets_folder+"/"+in_file.name);
                    in_file.copy(out_file);
                    doc.rasterItems[i].file = out_file;
          }
 
          // save as new file
          packaged_file = File(export_folder + "/" + filename + FILE_SUFFIX + extension);
          doc.saveAs(packaged_file);
          doc.close();
 
          // re-open the original file
          app.open(File(original_file));
 
} else {
          alert("Unable to create the assets folder.");
}

I apologize for my "noobiness"...

How do we use this.

I know how to use scripts but I am not sure how to use your text to apply your script.  Can you PM me the script file?

I tried using the script console tool but didnt have much luck.

Thanks!

Fuzzyteddy,

here is a version that should export an AI, PDF and EPS file.

Hope it helps // p

What are you doing with the file…? The syntax is ExtendScript and should run on both platforms… At a glance I can't see anything that may be OS specific… IMO better to sort any issue than translate…

That was easier me thinks… You can C&P from the forum but you need to save in plain text depending on what you use… AI will not see *.jsxbin
