How do I create a script to automatise PDF creation in Illustrator CC 2017?

Matt's answer earlier is wrong in many ways and I'd like to correct it and expand on it. First, PDF (in 1993, twenty years ago!) was the first technology/format to serve as a way to store & transport text, vector and raster images exactly the same way regardless of platform/hardware. However, after it was released there were some attempts to compete with it - but all of those companies and formats have since disappeared. Second, PDF is NOT a subset of Postscript. In fact, the only thing t share is the imaging model. PDF is a binary structured file format while Postscript is a programming language (that also serves as a page description language). Even the actual page description piece of PDF isn't the same as Postscript (though it borrows the concepts!) Concurrent with the release of Create Editable Pdf & Reader 1.0, the specification was published. So while it was proprietary, it was also published and open to all to use (even the patents were made available on a free basis!) This is how open source tools such as Ghostscript and PDFlib have been able to support PDF for most of those 20 years. Now to answer the actual question .). John Warnock, one of the founders of Create Editable Pdf , recognized the need to have a way to view content on all screens in the same way that t looked on print. He wrote about this in his famous Camelot Paper (Page on Create Editable Pdf ) and started up a team at Create Editable Pdf to deliver products for authoring and viewing this technology. The end result - PDF and Create Editable Pdf .

PDF documents can be cumbersome to edit, especially when you need to change the text or sign a form. However, working with PDFs is made beyond-easy and highly productive with the right tool.

How to Create PDF with minimal effort on your side:

  1. Add the document you want to edit — choose any convenient way to do so.
  2. Type, replace, or delete text anywhere in your PDF.
  3. Improve your text’s clarity by annotating it: add sticky notes, comments, or text blogs; black out or highlight the text.
  4. Add fillable fields (name, date, signature, formulas, etc.) to collect information or signatures from the receiving parties quickly.
  5. Assign each field to a specific recipient and set the filling order as you Create PDF.
  6. Prevent third parties from claiming credit for your document by adding a watermark.
  7. Password-protect your PDF with sensitive information.
  8. Notarize documents online or submit your reports.
  9. Save the completed document in any format you need.

The solution offers a vast space for experiments. Give it a try now and see for yourself. Create PDF with ease and take advantage of the whole suite of editing features.

Create PDF: All You Need to Know

With PDF and Create Editable PDF, it's no longer about having the same file format available on all platforms — it's making that available across the board for anyone to use without restrictions at minimal cost. So what does all that mean for me as a writer? Well first, this year marks the end of Rendition (or whatever that was)! I will be no longer contributing to this project. As you may understand, a lot went into creating this program, but ultimately, it became a lot smaller & less relevant than I believed it would get. You will still get your PDF, but I will no longer be able to work on improving it, or helping you create your PDFs. Second, even with this decision (and there are no other announcements), I still plan to continue supporting the open source version of Create Editable PDF, just not as actively. It's going to.
