Suppress dialog box in Illustrator

[erikotto]

I am batch processing jobs using the Illustrator configurator in Switch 13 and need to stop the Dialog Box from appearing and stopping the flow of jobs... Any ideas would be appreciated.

Which dialog?

[erikotto]

all, but specifically the message says "This file has been edited outside of Illustrator..."

It's funny because it seems that on my side, whatever the interaction settings I defined, Switch switch interaction off but don't reset it after the file passed the configurator.
Anyway you can change the userrinteraction level through a script on the open command instead of automatic.

Use this and see if it works for you:

Code: Select all

var main = function() {
	var uip = app.userInteractionLevel;
	
	app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS
	app.open ( File ( String($infile) ) );
	app.userInteractionLevel = uip;
	
}
main();

HTH
