What are Illustrator Scripts?

Illustrator Scripts are small automation files, usually written in JavaScript/JSX, that are run by Adobe Illustrator.

A script might:

  • Rename or organize artwork

  • Create or modify objects

  • Update text content

  • Prepare files for export

  • Apply repeatable production steps

  • Automate layout or artwork cleanup tasks

Scripts are separate from Astute Graphics plugins. They do not add new tools or panels to Illustrator, but they can automate Illustrator features and, where supported, may call scriptable Astute Graphics plugin functions.
