To avoid this dialog check the box to turn the warning off the first time the dialog is displayed. PlacedItems work only with embedded vector files: EPS, PDF, SVG and embedded AI. Users can place vector art files, such as EPS and PDF files, with the File > Place... command in Illustrator. However, placed image files such as .JPG files are represented in the scripting object model as RasterItem objects (see RasterItem/RasterItems). It is not necessary to set the type of the ContentVariable before binding. Illustrator automatically sets the type to be the same as the PageItem to which it is bound. Example 56.1 This script illustrates how to change the selection of PlacedItems.
