Query on app.activeDocument.exportFile

Michael Trim Oct 20, 2014 3:50 AM

(Apologies if this is an Illustrator scripting question rather than a CEP specific extension one)

From Adobe Illustrator CC2014 HTML5 extension I am using app.activeDocument.exportFile to export the activeDocument to SVG.

I have that working great but what happens is that the exported file becomes the active document (replacing the .AI document that was open) and I do not want this to happen?

Can anyone explain this behavior and how I could change it.

I got around it by closing new doc and reopening

    app.activeDocument.save();
    var srcFile = app.activeDocument.fullName;
    app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, type, exportOptions );
    app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES);
    app.open(srcFile);
