1. Change units in an open document

   For an active document, we can get the key value of the ruler units through the app.activeDocument.rulerUnits property.

   We can also create a new document with the desired units:
   var docPreset = new DocumentPreset;
   docPreset.units = RulerUnits.Centimeters;
   var newDoc = app.documents.addDocument("Web", docPreset);

   And can we switch to other ruler units in the document? NO! Because the app.activeDocument.rulerUnits property is read-only, not read/write.

   And it's not logical. So it just needs to be linked to the Document Setup > Units dialog mechanism.

   In Adobe Community or direct messages comes from users asking how to change units of measure. I came up with a very bad way, suitable for Windows OS, to open Document Setup and emulate keystrokes in dropdown units via VBScript. It doesn't have to be this way, it's a bad workaround.

2. [Typo] app.tracingPresetList of Illustrator JavaScript Reference.pdf

   There is a typo in app.tracingPresetList in Illustrator JavaScript Scripting Reference.pdf. The wrong property name is listed and developers and users cannot get tracingPreset. It would be helpful if it could be corrected.

   According to my research, this is wrong from CS2 version to the current (2024 v1).

   Expected Name:

   app.tracingPresetsList (add "s" to Preset -> Presets)

   Actual Name:

   app.tracingPresetList ("s" is missing from Presets)

3. Document.save() for eps/svg/pdf documents changes them to ai files

   en_US

   Document.save() is a method to save over a document. In keyboard shortcut, it is equivalent to command+S.

   However, when ExtendScript's save() is executed on a document that preserves Illustrator editing capabilities such as eps/svg/pdf, it will be saved as an ai document instead of being overwritten as its original format.

   For example, when save() is executed for the document 1.eps, the file 1.ai will be created in the folder where the eps is placed. If the file 1.ai already exists, it will be overwritten with the contents of 1.eps and the original 1.ai will be lost.

   Environment

   • macOS 12.7.3(Apple Silicon)
   • Illustrator 2024(28.5.0)

   Not sure when this problem started, but it is reproduced in CS6 also.

   Steps to reproduce

   1. Open file attached 1.pdfin Illustrator (eps and svg files were also created, but could not be uploaded to UserVoice)
   2. Execute the script in the Script to execute section (or the attachment save.txt)

   Expected result

   1.pdf will be saved over it.

   Actual result

   The contents of 1.pdf will be saved to 1.ai. If the file 1.ai already exists, it will be overwritten with the contents of 1.pdf and the original 1.ai will be lost.

   Script to execute

   var doc = app.documents[0] ;
   
   // do something (command+Y command+Y)
   app.executeMenuCommand('preview') ;
   app.executeMenuCommand('preview') ;
   
   // save (command+S)
   doc.save() ;
   

   Attached files

   • 1.pdf
   • save.txt

   ja_JP

   eps/svg/pdf書類に対してDocument.save()を実行するとaiファイルに変わる

   Document.save()は書類を上書き保存するメソッドです。キーボードショートカットで言えばcommand+Sにあたります。

   しかしeps/svg/pdfなどIllustrator編集機能を保持した書類に対してExtendScriptのDocument.save()を実行すると、そのフォーマットとして上書き保存することはできずai書類として保存されます。

   例えば書類1.epsに対してsave()を実行すると、epsがあるフォルダにファイル1.aiが生成されます。 もしすでにファイル1.aiが存在する場合は1.epsの内容で上書きされ、もとの1.aiは失われます。

   環境

   • macOS 12.7.3(Apple Silicon)
   • Illustrator 2024(28.5.0)

   この不具合がいつからあるのかわかりませんが、CS6でも再現します。

   再現手順

   1. Illustratorで添付ファイル1.pdfを開く（epsとsvgファイルも用意しましたが、UserVoiceにアップロードできませんでした）
   2. 実行するスクリプトセクションのスクリプト（または添付ファイルsave.txt）を実行する

   期待する結果

   1.pdfが上書き保存されます。

   実際の結果

   1.pdfの内容が1.aiに保存されます。もしすでにファイル1.aiが存在する場合は1.pdfの内容で上書きされ、もとの1.aiは失われます。

   実行するスクリプト

   var doc = app.documents[0] ;
   
   // do something (command+Y command+Y)
   app.executeMenuCommand('preview') ;
   app.executeMenuCommand('preview') ;
   
   // save (command+S)
   doc.save() ;
   

   添付したファイル

   • 1.pdf
   • save.txt

4. Broken embedICCProfile in export

   For TIFF, PSD exports, there are new ExportOptionsPhotoshop() and new ExportOptionsTIFF() in the ExtendScript object model, and a Boolean attribute embedICCProfile that embeds a color profile in exports. But if we set it to true, the profile still won't be embedded.

   I've explored versions of Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator CS6 - embedICCProfile property worked, but in the next version of CC (v17) embedICCProfile was broken and in the next versions it didn't change, it's been ten years!

   How to test:
   1) Rename exportTif.txt to exportTif.jsx and run it. The script will export the first artboard of the document in TIFF to your desktop.
   2) Check out the TIFF in Photoshop with the Info panel. Enable in Panel Options > Document Profile

5. [Typo] View rotateAngle property in omv.xml

   For several years, the same incorrect information about the document rotation property has been repeated in the omv.xml (Object Model Viewer) file in folder "Scripting Dictionaries CC". Checked in СС 2023, 2024, 2025

   /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Scripting Dictionaries CC/Illustrator [vers.]/omv.xml

   At the same time, the PDF documentation "Adobe Illustrator Scripting Reference: JavaScript", the property name is correct.

   Expected Property Name:
   rotateAngle

   Actual Property Name in omv.xml:
   rotate

   <classdef name="View" dynamic="true">
   ....
   <property name="rotate">
   <shortdesc>The rotation angle of this view.</shortdesc>

6. When getting ink.name, encoding gets broken for non-Latin languages: Chinese, Japanese, Russian, etc.

   A script cannot support Chinese, Japanese and other languages when getting ink.name, and it displays garbled characters.

   var doc = app.activeDocument;
   var inkList = doc.inkList;
   var inkUsage = [];

   for (var i = 0; i < inkList.length; i++) {
   var ink = inkList[i];
   var inkName = ink.name;
   inkUsage.push(inkName);
   }

   alert(inkUsage.join("\n"));
   $.write(inkUsage.join("\n"));

   This test script above gives a result like in the screenshot attached.

7. Bug: JavaScript unary operators "+" and "-" do not function as documented for UnitValue objects

   According to the Illustrator ExtendScript documentation, applying the unary operators "+" or "-" to a UnitValue object should respectively produce the numeric value or the negated numeric value of the UnitValue. However, they instead respectively produce the UnitValue unmodified or the UnitValue with its value negated.

   Either the documentation or the behaviour should be updated to reflect the other.

   I observed this behaviour in Illustrator 28.5 on Mac OS Sonoma.

   The behaviour may be quickly tested with the following script:

   var uv = new UnitValue(2, "px");
   alert(
   "Results:" +
   "\nUnitValue unmodified: \"" + uv + "\" (" + (typeof uv) +
   ")\n+UnitValue: \"" + (+uv) + "\" (" + (typeof +uv) +
   ")\n-UnitValue: \"" + (-uv) + "\" (" + (typeof -uv) +
   ")\nNumber(UnitValue): \"" + (Number(uv)) + "\" (" + (typeof Number(uv)) + ")"
   );

8. Live Effect process loses spot color info in single spot color Raster

   In a Live Effect, a kRasterArt element, which is a raster of a single spot color, loses color information between kSelectorAIEditLiveEffectParameters and kSelectorAIGoLiveEffect.
   This especially becomes a problem when removing the Effect from the element.
   Reproducible steps:
   1. Rasterize an element with a spot fill, no stroke
   2. Apply 'Outer Glow' Effect
   3. Save, close, and reopen the document
   4. Remove 'Outer Glow' Effect

   I've copied the TwirlFilter sample code from the 2024 SDK, called it TestFilter and simplified the code. It has only been built and run on macOS.
   It demonstrates the color loss between these 2 selectors through message dialogs in the EditLiveEffectParameters and GoLiveEffect methods.
   It is available if needed.

11. Email newsletter for third-party developers

    Could Adobe please offer an email newsletter updating third-party plugin developers of changes that may affect or even break their plugins? It's helpful that there is a "known issues" web page, which may or may not identify problems known only to Adobe, but rather than every small developer checking this page every day, perhaps someone at Adobe could send one message to all subscribed developers. Too often, changes quietly happen and developers must scramble to help each other.

    One recent example is AI 28.1 corrupting some 28.0 preference files, and a major example would be when Mac AI 25.1 required a PiPL binary resource file rather than one compiled from the .rsrc file.

12. Control the angle, length of gradients and other

    ExtendScript does not allow you to control the length, angle, or other parameters of gradients. These are all read-only attributes. Script authors can only work with color stops.

    For example, to rotate a gradient, we have to use the rotate() method, which has another problem. The angle of such a gradient is not copied to another object with the Eyedropper Tool: https://medium.com/@aiscripts/gradient-rotation-bug-24d7a6f6038f

    The fillColor assignment commands (selection[1].fillColor = selection[0].fillColor) carry over the base gradient, losing other properties. This reduces the ability to automate gradients via ExtendScript.

    Also ignores other Uservoices:

14. Install new tools in toolbox by default

    When a user adds a new third-party plugin, its tools should be added to the toolbox, where users expect to find it, rather than hidden in the drawer, which many users don't even know about. Hiding new tools creates frustration for users and extra support hassle for developers.

15. Accessing Opacity Mask is impossible with scripting

    There is no way to work with the transparency mask in the Script SDK. This is the least of the problems. But when creating scripts to modify objects with masks, developers expect masks to be modified along with the parent object. After all, we see the "Linked to Art" icon in the Transparency panel.

    But what we have all these years as script developers: resize(), position, translate() modify the object, and its mask remains as it was.

    I've counted about 10 of my own scripts that use similar commands. I also have a large collection of other developers' scripts, where about 70 scripts contain similar commands. So none of them will help users automate operations with their art.

    More than once I've had users come to me and ask, "Where did the opacity mask go after I ran the script? The only solution is to add dynamic actions with Move, Scale with calling app.doScript(). But this introduces many other problems and inconveniences.

18. Vertically alignChildren in ScriptUI does not align properly

    In the ScriptUI documentation, there is an alignChildren attribute: "Tells the layout manager how to align children of this container that are not of the same size in a column or row". The issue of vertical alignment of UI objects in the scripts dialog box persists from version to version of Illustrator.

    As we can see in the image, only the top alignment seems to be correct. The center alignment is shifted up, and the bottom alignment does not reach the bottom. At the same time, native UI dialogs contain the correct alignment. Thus script interfaces always look less professional.

    var dialog = new Window("dialog");
    dialog.text = "Test";
    dialog.orientation = "column";
    dialog.alignChildren = ["fill","top"];
    dialog.spacing = 10;
    dialog.margins = 16;

    var group1 = dialog.add("group");
    group1.orientation = "row";
    group1.alignChildren = ["fill", "center"];
    group1.spacing = 10;
    group1.margins = 0;

    var checkbox1 = group1.add("checkbox", undefined, "Checkbox");

    var button1 = group1.add("button", undefined, "Cancel", {name: "cancel"});
    var button2 = group1.add("button", undefined, "Ok", {name: "ok"});

    dialog.show();

19. check a keyboard key state in SDK

    I often need a way to check if a specific keyboard key is currently pressed. For example, while a tool is being dragged, allow users to press the 'W' or 'E' key as they would a modifier like Shift or Alt/Option.

20. app.selectTool('Adobe Intertwine Zone Marker Tool') does not work

    When I run the following script, the Adobe Intertwine Zone Marker Tool starts up and I can select the area where I want to change the overlap like the lasso tool. However, nothing happens after the selection.

    app.selectTool('Adobe Intertwine Zone Marker Tool')
    

    Expected Result

    The overlap of the selected area is changed.

    Actual Result

    The line will remain as if it was drawn with the lasso tool. The overlap is not changed.

    Enviroment

    • macOS 11.7
    • Illustrator 27.1.1

    Resolved (Comments Open)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    An intended way of picking up the hidden Zone Marker tool via a script is to enter the Intertwine mode using these commands:

    app.executeMenuCommand('Partial Rearrange Make') — when an intertwine object is not created yet, and

    app.executeMenuCommand('Partial Rearrange Edit') — when the object already exists, as per comments by the OP.
