Hello, i'm having dreadful trouble exporting a batch of AIs to PNG (using illustrator CS4).

It seemed really obvious to record export>PNG>relevant setting as an action and then run that on the whole folder.

The trouble is that the action, when run as a batch (and only when run as a batch) skips the whole export step. it open the AI fine, runs through the action very quickly, and then fails to write the PNG.

what's more, i also tried this on a colleagues machine and his did exactly the same, so i'm thinking that it's me missing something obvious.

as a workaround i turned the dialogues on, but this kind of defeats the object.

any help would be very greatly appreciated.

cheers
Jez
