About this manual
This manual provides an introduction to scripting Adobe® Illustrator® CS on Mac OS 10 and
Windows. Since not every Illustrator user will be familiar with programming terms, concepts,
and techniques, so we've included Chapter 2, "Scripting Basics, " which contains introductory
information that should help get you started with scripting. If you're an experienced
AppleScript scripter or Visual Basic programmer, you will probably want to skip Chapter 2 and
