Adobe Illustrator/Scripting for Illustrator

Advertisement


Question
Good afternoon,

Hey Kevin, I asked you yesterday about setting up a sequential text frame in illustrator.. well, i figured out how to do it, using scripts... now i need a random number generator. do you write script for illustrator? if so, i need a random number generator that will allow me to control how many digits, perhaps put a prefix on it, and tell it how many numbers i need. Can you help me with this or point me in the right direction?

Answer
Hey Nancy,

Glad to hear you found a solution. The best advice I can give you for finding scripting for Adobe products, not just Illustrator is the Adobe Exchange site. It is a peer-to-peer site that users submit scripts, plug-ings, etc. for products you may find something there.

Here is the link: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=producthome&exc=17

Thanks
