Hi Robert,
I'm not sure why it's behaving that way without investigating further, but you could get it to work by having it close each file in the repeat loop and setting "theDoc" to current document.
tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
set theDocuments to every document
repeat with theDoc in theDocuments
set theDoc to current document
set thePath to (file path of theDoc)
set theAlias to (thePath & ".jpg") as text
set theJPGExportOptions to {class:JPEG export options, antialiasing:false, quality:100, optimization:true}
export theDoc as JPEG to theAlias with options theJPGExportOptions
close theDoc saving no
end repeat
end tell
Also, "file path" includes the file name extension, which means your files will end in ".ai.jpg". Not sure if that's what you want, but you can always parse out the .ai file extension.
Best,
David

Hi all,
This is so basic I'm almost
embarrassed to post it, but I'm having problems with a short script to export JPEGs from Illustrator. If for example I had three Illustrator documents open, I'd expect the script below to step through each open document and three JPEGs - one of each document.
Instead, I get the files I expect but the content of each JPEG is from my frontmost document - so three identical JPEGs.
Any suggestions? Have I found a bug or am I having a dumb day?
Thanks
Rob
