  description: The Adobe Illustrator Scripting API provides programmatic access to Illustrator's functionality through JavaScript, AppleScript, and VBScript. It allows developers to automate repetitive tasks, manipulate documents, select and edit text, generate art from data, and batch process files. Scripts can control nearly every aspect of Illustrator, from creating and modifying paths and shapes to managing layers, colors, and typography.
