Expose 'Export Selection as' functionality
Without this functionality in the SDK, we have to copy the selection to a new document, export, and close the temporary document. Would it be possible to expose the export selection functionality to avoid these steps?

Add 'Convert to Shape' to the menu command notifier list
Please add the menu option: Object->Shape->Convert to Shape to the menu command notifiers list. (I've noticed other menu commands that also need to be added, but I only care about this one).
I'm using Illustrator CC v.23.0.3 on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.

Wish Applescript could create more extensive dialog boxes in Illustrator.
It would be great to be able to create dialogs with radio buttons, check boxes etc., as can currently be created with Applescript in InDesign.

CC2019 CoordinatePrecision2 in Preferences
When doing operations on small vector objects I found that the precision was weird.
After checking the Preferences files I found that the key
plugin/SVGFormat/CoordinatePrecision was set to 3 (like in CC2018 were it works fine)But also found a new key:
plugin/SVGFormat/CoordinatePrecision2 set to 1!After closing Illustrator and updating that value to 3 it works again.
I didn't see any mention of that change in any docs.
Is "CoordinatePrecision2" the new value from CC2019? and "CoordinatePrecision" deprecated?
Thanks!

[Feature] Ability to embed HTTPS sites into extension HTML via iFrames
Currently it is not possible to embed HTTPS sites into extension HTML via iFrames because it results in a mixed-mode security violation. It would be nice to have the CEF used in the extension ignore this error when using extension html installed on the local system.
I've attached a simple file demoing the problem.

Change Adobe PDF settings without creating a PDF file
Does anyone know if there is a way to change Adobe PDF settings without saving the current file into a PDF file? More specifically, is there a way to turn on/off the "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" option using C++ SDK?

weird unicode file names in CEP panel scripts
Files with unicode names should report correctly in the documentAfterActivate and documentAfterSave events.
I just noticed that there are not only strange sequences of escaped and unescaped characters, but they can even differt between these two events.
A € sign produces 0x80 in the activate event and %e2 0x82 %ac in the save event1 vote -

-I would like to open a Multipage PDF with settings set to open "all pages" and "import pages as links".
If the pdf has only one page import it also as a link (if possible do it)Import an Illustrator *.ai file Multi-layouts by importing them as links across multiple layouts.
Set flattener presets:
preset name
various parameters...
Select all (Select / All)
Run the command: Object / convert transparency / Previously saved preset / OK
I saw among the commands that there is an openOptionsFreeHand could I create a script that opens the freehand files for me?
How could…

ExtendScript Debugger 2.0.3 for VSCode fails on "doScript" method
When a script containing "doScript" method is run from VSCode to AI 2022 using any version of ExtendScript Debugger 2.x it locks up Ai 2022 requiring a force quit. VSCode must also be reloaded before any debugging can continue.
Rolling ExtendScript Debugger back to v1.1.2 eliminates the failure at the expense of the more advanced features of v2.x.

exportForScreens() file output naming issues
Natively File > Export > Export for Screens has an option to add a suffix to the output file name, but in scripting the last parameter adds a prefix to the output file name not a suffix as it should to match the desk top user options.
exportForScreens(path, ExportForScreensType, ExportForScreensOptions, ExportForScreensItemToExport, "This adds a prefix NOT a suffix");

ファイル名に#が付いた配置画像のファイルパスをapplescriptで得ようとすると問題あり
例えばファイル名「ABC#123.psd」とした画像を配置し、
選択したうえでtell application "Adobe Illustrator"
get file path of selection
end tellを実行するとリザルトが
file "○○○:○○○:ABC"
となり、#とそれ以降が無くなっている。
正常ならば
file "○○○:○○○:ABC#123.psd"
となるはず。ファイル名に限らず、パス内に#が入っているとダメ。
cs6、cc2018、cc2019では問題ない。

Dimension / Fraction script not rotating text properly
After installing the Illustrator 25.1 update, some of the features of the dimension / fraction script are not rotating text properly. Some of the options should rotate the height measurement 90º; it remains horizontal with no rotation.
