Turning on a layer in Illustrator with Actions

[mattm25786321]

Hi there!

I created a template file that contains various background layers on it with an image in front of the background. I am looking for a way to create an action script that I can use to batch process these images.

Ideally, I am looking to have an action script turn on a named layer depending on the background each client wants. For example, I have a layer called "black paper texture" and want to have my action turn that layer on as part of it. Is there a simple way to insert this into my action script? It seems that Adobe Photoshop can record layer interactions, however, it does not work for me in Adobe Illustrator.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

You can use adobe illustrator's variable data to toggle visibility of items, or replace the contents of picture frames too!
