Hello All

I’m in a similar situation to abulazm – however I’m trying to automate the process since I have 500 .eps files with 20 graphics in each = 5000 files.

The final goal is to have one transparent .png file for each graphic – as this is for use in a website involving some heavy “world-building”.

I’m a programmer by background and know basic PhotoShop but only opened Illustrator today.

Does anyone have any clever ideas on how to approach this task ?

Not sure if PhotoShop actions support this kind of task – but to the laymen I am the process looks manageable 😉

1) Open EPS and Release to Layers
2) Save each layer as new file (autogenerate filenames ?)
3) Run batch conversion to .png

Step 2 seems to be the beast. Especially creating the filenames. Ideally the images should also be cropped to the size of the individual graphics – and not to the size of the .EPS.

I realze this might not be feasible in Illustrator. If so, does anyone know of programmable components that perform similar functions ?

Any help is appreciated
