AS and AI

Hi, I have a tons of EPS clipart that I would like to convert to Adobe Illustrator .ai file format because saving as AI take less space and is a more "modern" format.
I would like to, when I open these files, enlarge the visible window to max area or my monitor.
And this is the problem. Seems to be that the command is not scriptable, nor using AI action.
Second, i would like to adapt the artboard area to the max visible bounds of illustration.
This because file saved as EPS (even if illustration is outside the artboard) is displayed correctly and entirely using Bridge. But when you save it as AI, if illustration for any reason is outside the artboard, Bridge show only portion of illustration inside the artboard area.

The middle part works (Adapt artboard to illustration) works good
My problems is only how to reset the view window to max area and how to set rulers units of each document to millimeters (seems that ruler unit properties is only read only)

Thanks in advance.

Alex
