Raster multiple layers in AI without flattening to 1 layer

Aug 8, 2012 12:40 PM

Tags: #script #raster #ai

I am trying to turn every layer in my .ai file to a raster image without flattening to one layer. Im assuming a script would be best for this.

 

-The big issue I am dealing with is the agency that just built a paralax site for us refuses to export to PSD. I have tried every possible way to do this but keep getting the file is to big message. To add to it they had it all on 1 layer. I was able to release to sequence, but now am trying to see if rasterizing the objects will help.

 

Thanks so so much in advance we are in crisis mode.

    I have this in my collection of scripts which I modified to save .psd files

    #target illustrator
 
/**

*/
 
var folder = Folder.selectDialog();
var document = app.activeDocument;
if(document && folder)
{    
    var options = new ExportOptionsPhotoshop();
    options.antiAliasing = true;
    options.resolution = 300.0;
     options.warnings = 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.PNG24,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]);
    }
}
