About PH Illustrator Do Action
Similar to my earlier PHotoshop Do Action, PH Illustrator Do Action is a Macintosh Automator Action that runs an Illustrator Action. Supply it a bunch of files and it will dutifully open them up and run the Illustrator Action. Files that Illustrator cannot open and folders will generate an error alert but processing can continue. Only valid files will be included in the result list.

You can also have PH Illustrator Do Action save and/or close your files for you. Alternatively, you can put these commands in your Illustrator Action. Saving and closing occur after each file is processed to avoid having too many open files. This Action can be linked with other Actions that automate Illustrator. If there aren’t too many files, your workflow can use a previous Action that leaves files open. Subsequent Actions can use the open files if you don’t close them.

The dialogs option is supposed to allow or suppress dialogs during the execution of the Illustrator Action but it doesn’t seem to work right for me - Adobe’s apparent fault.

I have added this to the public domain, so use it, give it away, modify it, whatever! It was developed for Illustrator CS; I don’t know if it works with CS2.
