: How to batch save data driven graphics with a script in Illustrator? I build data-driven graphics in Illustrator and am able to run a batch "Save to PDF" action on these graphics. Can I do

@Shelley591

here's a sample showing how to loop thru the Datasets

var idoc = app.activeDocument;
var ds = idoc.dataSets;
var activeds = idoc.activeDataSet; // save the current dataset


for (i=0; i<ds.length; i++) {

ds[i].display(); // this is the same as clicking the dataset arrows in the UI
app.redraw(); // we don't need to redraw, it's here so you can see as they change

doyourthing ();

alert('data set: ' + i);
}

activeds.display(); // display the original active dataset

function doyourthing() {
// save to pdf here
}
