  Automate export to layers with Illustrator

  Posted by Birgit Rathsmann on September 28, 2012 at 3:33 pm

  I am wondering if anyone has a script that exports Illustrator layers to pngs which are numbered with there digits, so it ends up being test_001.png, test_002.png etc.
  Also, there is a background layer that needs to be included in each exported file.

  Anyone?

  Thanks,
  Birgit

  there’s this script:

  it looks like you would have to manually add _001, _002 to your layer names or use this script:

  For background to be present in all exported files you would have to ad a plus sign [+] in front of a background layer name.

  hope it helps
