Ten Great Scripts for Illustrator

Illustrator is the world’s most popular and powerful vector drawing program. But if you’re a regular user, you probably have your personal wishlist of things it would do (or do better). That’s where scripts can help you.

So, we asked Illustrator expert Jean-Claude Tremblay to curate a set of free scripts to improve your Illustrator workflow.

The set includes ten scripts to give you superpowers for things like:

• Relinking placed artwork to files with other names or extensions
• Adding page numbers to artboards
• Editing all document text in one convenient window
• Renaming, duplicating, and resizing artboards and the art they contain
• Threading text
• Ungrouping complex art and releasing clipping masks
• Checking (and fixing!) color contrast for accessibility
• And more!

The download file includes a description of what each script does and links to detailed documentation by the script authors.
