I would just goto File ->New and use the default settings to create a new document, the default settings selected were the Print Profile (I dont know if that makes a difference or not). Yes I have created a blank document in Illustrator.
Thank you for the quick responses TT and Carols. That's it for now.in the following posts we'll move the text to the middle of the page, create new documents, get data from an Excel Range to Illustrator, get data from Illustrator text frame to an Excel Range.and more, hopefully. to run, move the cursor anywhere inside the Sub.End Sub and hit F5 open Illustrator and create a new document first Iframe.Contents = "Hello World from Excel VBA!!" we have to continue the tradition and do the "HelloWorld" script If you don't see it, go back to Excel and record a macro, anything will do. Personal is a global workbook that is always available. in the Personal.xls (or in any other book) add a Module. add a reference to "Adobe Illustrator CS5 Type Library" in the Tools menu, click on References. Third.I love the Excel IDE.ok, let's get right into it.
Second, I usually need to transfer data between the two programs. First, I always have Excel and Illustrator open, so it makes sense for me use it to drive Ai. I personally prefer vba over bvs for a number of reasons. This post will attempt to introduce newcomers to Illustrator Visual Basic Scripting (well, not actually vbs, but rather tru VBA, Visual Basic for Applications).
