Convert JPG/PNG using AI

[rachellep93463543]

@williamdowHi,

I want to create a dynamic PNG/JPG file programmatically for AI extension.

For photoshop i'm using this approach:

Created a PSD as a template, parse it and created duplicate of it in JSX, then replace the content of all the layers and merge/convert it to JPG and PNG.

var templateDoc = app.open(new File(extPath + '/images/zcdp_palette_template_'+orientation+'.psd'));

  var dupeDoc = templateDoc.duplicate(filePath.match(/[^\/]+$/)[0]);

  templateDoc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

But this code is not working in AI. It throws error while duplicating the psd. //templateDoc.duplicate() is not a function

Is it possible to maintain same code base for PS and AI

Or is there any other approach in AI to create PNG/JPG and place text and color rectangle on x,y axis of document (HTML5 Canvas style)

duplicate is not a method of the Document object. To duplicate, you'll have to simply open the file and then do a save-as.
