artboard name as header of artboard?

[roberto31261591]

is that possible without me manually doing each one? i have like 50 so i'd prefer not to...

so, i have my artboards, all pretty and done. i named each dartboard so when i export them as jpegs they are magically named correctly... now, i would love to set it up so that the name of the artboard is also the title (or header) of the page so that everything is labeled all pretty... can i do that?

Hello, try this!

#target illustrator

function test(){

     var doc = app.activeDocument, thisItem;

     for(var i=0; i<doc.artboards.length; i++){

          doc.artboards.setActiveArtboardIndex(i);

          doc.selectObjectsOnActiveArtboard();

          for(var j=0; j<doc.selection.length; j++){

               thisItem = doc.selection;

               if(thisItem.typename == "TextFrame" && thisItem.name == "header"){

                    thisItem.contents = doc.artboards.name;

               }

          };

     };

     doc.selection = null;

};

test();
