well, after some suggestions, I came up with this script:

tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
activate
set thePath to (file path of current document)
save current document
export current document to file ((text 1 thru -4 of thePath) & ".jpg") as JPEG with options {class:JPEG export options, quality:80, horizontal scaling:50, vertical scaling:50}
end tell


however it fails with an applescript error:
Adobe Illustrator got an error: Can’t get file "Graphics Dept:Clients:M:Magana Smog Check & Auto Repair:Magana Smog BC.ai".


That is indeed where the file is, but it is a network share, if that matters...
this seems to happen after it saves, and it is not exporting the jpeg...
any ideas?

Hi,
I don't know a lot about applescript. but I am trying to create a simple script that will make adobe illustrator export the current document as a jpeg file, to the same directory that the original file resides, with the same name as the original (except with a ".jpg" extension instead of a ".ai") the script should replace an already existing jpeg file if it exists, and also save the open ai file at the same time...


I looked through the illustrator applescript reference, but could not make it work at all...
Any Ideas?
