Script to convert files into IllustratorCS

[Jürgen_Jerzembeck@adobeforums.com]

I have converted a big library from CorelDraw to Illustrator 7 (maximum
CorelDraw can do).
The files increased dramatically - some from 1 MB to 500MB.
Can someone provide a *.js script, which opens file by file in a given
foulder and converts them in AI cs format, than closes the file?

I tried to modify the existing PDF save script without success.

best regards,
Juergen

Jurgen,

That seems like an extremely large increase in file size. I suspect you are going from a compressed CorelDraw file to an uncompressed Illustrator file, especially in version 7. Does it contain raster images, perchance? Also I'm not the one to walk you through the steps, but you might be able to write a script (Action) or use Visual Basic for doing the batching. For best help in doing that, you might check the "Scripting Adobe Applications" User to User Forum (bottom of list for User to User Forums).
