Adobe Illustrator CS Scripting Guide
Command reference
This section covers the commands in the Illustrator AppleScript dictionary, as well as some of
the important standard AppleScript commands. When you look at a command in an
AppleScript dictionary, you can see only that the command returns an object, or that the
command takes an object reference as a parameter. The specific objects that can respond to a
particular command are not distinguished in an AppleScript dictionary. Not all Illustrator
objects can respond to all commands, so we've documented which objects respond to which
commands, and what type of object each command returns (if any).
The following shows how to read the table associated with each command.

What it means
Constants, keywords, and values needed by the command
are shown in bold face. Required terms are shown in plain
face. All items surrounded by brackets [ ] are optional.
An explanation of the parameters.
Which objects understand the command and/or which
objects the command can operate upon. The
object, for example, understands the command close, but
doesn't understand the command quit.
Many commands return values (text, numbers, lists, and
object references). This column shows you what kind of
reference you can expect the command to return (if any).
