Tal, Thanks for the script! Exactly what I was looking for.
I found that it tended to cut away about 1 pixel on the right and bottom, did some searching & found that it was a known illustrator error (at least in CS3). I solved this by editing the lines just after “if (obj.visibleBounds != null)” to:
bounds[0] = obj.visibleBounds[0] -1
bounds[1] = obj.visibleBounds[1] +1
bounds[2] = obj.visibleBounds[2] +1
bounds[3] = obj.visibleBounds[3] -1
return bounds;
Thanks again!

Kafr Naffakh is no longer, but its lat-long is here, page is in Hebrew though.

Where is Nafah? I cannot FOR THE LIFE OF ME figure out where it is!

Everyone references it, no one points to a F*ING map to show exactly where this stand off took place. Somewhere in Southern Golan heights… great. It’s irrational, but I invested like 30 minutes trying to figure this out, and now I just need to know.

Hi Brian!

The syntax error is most likely caused by the inverse double-quotes, they should both be normal double-quotes:

Line 212 should be:
var file = new File(targetFolder.toString() + "/" + name);

WordPress attempts to style the comments and a copy-and-paste from the comment would have retained the inverse quote.

Cheers & HTH,
Tal

Excited to see the pdf version above from Gabriel Walt.

Unfortunately, I’m getting this error when I try to use it.

“Error 8: Syntax Error
Line: 212
- > var file = new File(targetFolder.toString() + “/” + name);

Any Ideas?

This script has become an integral part of my daily workflow. Thanks Again.

Tal -

I love this script! Can you help me make it export each layer to an illustrator eps?
I would also like to adjust it to export out a higher resoulution JPEG file.

Thanks for your help!

Matt

You may find this post interesting as a design technique / exercise to try, as it gets you to think differently: http://jamesladdcode.com/?p=12
Trying the ‘East’ approach forces you to use the Hollywood Principle and the Law Of Demeter. I’d also be interested in your experience with applying the approach as an exercise.

Nick is a great bloke and an incredible developer — I’ve worked with him at White Pages @ Sensis. I’ll definitely have a read of his blog post.
