Adobe Illustrator files (*.ai) scripting?

I'd like to export layer structures(and layer itself to file) to folders using a scripting language(preferably which will run on mac and windows)

I found a ready to use sample for Photoshop (*.psd) files.

Wonder if same thing can be done to *.ai files.

Thank you in advance.

  • Just like Photoshop Illustrator supports scripts written in AppleScript, JavaScript or VBScript. You can find more info at the Adove Developer Connection site dealing with Illustrator scripting.
