Looking for Illustrator CS script

[Mark Carson]

Illustrator CC 21.1.0 for Mac on Sierra 10.12.6

I’d like to acquire a script to do three things for either a folder of
files, or act upon a bunch of EPS and AI files already open:

1. Document Setup > Edit Artboards > Fit to Artwork Bounds.

2. Save as latest AI or EPS (whichever it already was to start)

3. Export as SVG.This is already available under File> Export> Export As
and will execute for all files already open.

So the #3 is already there, but I’d like to squeeze #1 and #2 in front.

Thanks.

Sounds reasonable, assuming corresponding AppleScript commands are
supported in Adobe Illustrator CS.

Have you looked at the Adobe Illustrator CS scripting dictionary to see
if it supports those commands?

I will read up on it. By the way was I was not correct: File Export> Export
As does only one file at a time. The present SaveDocsAsSVG will do all open
docs. Its .js comments showed my how to change link to embed, but I want to
set the options as shown in Export As: Inline Style; SVG, Embed images, Layer
names for object IDs, decimal = 2, and minify and responsive.
