Enhance and extend
The Illustrator API opens the entire application to your control. Your extensions can add new functions, and automate workflows.
Edit art directly
Parse and manipulate image data to apply custom effects. Select, manipulate, edit and enhance text. Even generate art automatically from point data and layers.
Enhance the UI
Add your own custom tools to the toolbar and functions to the menus. Create HTML-based panels that offer new capabilities and connect to other apps across the web.
Use callback functions and events
Use both scripting and actions to build automations, respond to events, and implement custom call-back functions.
