Re: script to open Adobe Illustrator (CS3) and replace certain fonts

Still having trouble but I got further...
I tried the following Applescript (based on an Illustrator action of "Myriad Pro to Webding" from Action set "Change Fonts")
The action does a Find Font: Myriad Pro, Replace with: Webdings, Change All: Yes

When it runs, only some of the documents that have Myriad Pro switch fonts to Webdings in the new files.
If anyone knows how to fix this, it would be appreciated.  Thanks!

set sourceFolder to choose folder with prompt "Source folder?"

tell application "Finder" to set fileList to every file of folder sourceFolder as alias list

set destinationFolder to choose folder with prompt "Destination folder?"
set destinationPath to destinationFolder as string

repeat with aFile in fileList
        tell application "Finder" to set fileName to name of aFile
        set newFilePath to destinationPath & fileName
       
        tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
                open aFile
                activate
                do script "Myriad Pro to Webding" from "Change Fonts" without dialogs
               
               
                save current document in file newFilePath
               
                close current document saving no
               
        end tell
        set i to 1
end repeat
