i have a few thousand eps files i need to save to various versions. anyone know of an efficient way of doing this? a script for illustrator? an action in illustrator?
i have been experimenting with actions and haven't had any luck defining what version i want the new file to be.
thanks

any takers?

I have no idea, I'd do it file by file.

that is what has been done in the past but it can turn into a week of mind numbing monotonous labor.
time to train a monkey i guess.

once you save and record the first file and action, shouldn't use the settings your saving as.
nice illustrations and logos btw.

you would think so. for reasons i am not aware of actions don't record the settings you enter on the second dialog box where you select the version and settings of the file.
if i knew what i was doing with javaScript i think i could write a routine that would take care of this in no time.
thanks for the compliments
