Reply To: Opening a file from a Folder and running a script

Hi Masood,

First of all, take care that you may be violating the Adobe InDesign and Illustrator EULA as none of those apps have to be run as server. The only grey area is when the licence owner is the one to run the automation process.

But given that it would be the case, then it mostly depends on your OS.

On mac, you could use folder action sto run an applescript (which can only be here to call a javascript file ).
On Windows I don’t know.

And Illustrator hasn’t any script panel. They can be only run through the File/Scripts menu. However script of yours can be placed in the preset folder whose location depends on the OS.
On mac, that would be
/Applications/Adobe Illustrator XX/Presets.localized/xx_XX/Scripts
