Select the script file/s (ending with `.jsx`) you want to use and place it in the Illustrator Scripts folder:\n    - **OS X**: /Applications/Adobe Illustrator [*vers.*]/Presets.localized/en_GB/Scripts\n    - **Windows (*32 bit*)**: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Adobe\\Adobe Illustrator [*vers.*]\\Presets\\en_GB\\Scripts\\\n    - **Windows (*64 bit*)**: C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Illustrator [*vers.*] (64 Bit)\\Presets\\en_GB\\Scripts\\\n3. Restart illustrator.\n\n# 🏃‍♂️ Run the scripts \n- Go to, **File** → **Scripts** → \u003c***ScriptName***\u003e.\n\n    *or*\n\n- Drag and drop the script file into illustrator.\n\n# ✨ Scripts\n\n## [AddMargin.jsx](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mulaRahul/illustrator-scripts/main/AddMargin.jsx)\nAdd margins as guides or rectangles to all/desired artboards.\n\n![preview](/previews/AddMargin.gif)\n\n## 🔧 How to use\n\n1. Open your illustrator document.\n2. Run the script, **File** → **Scripts** → **AddMargin.jsx**.\n3.

Then input the custom number of artboards\n   separated by a comma like '1, 3, 5' or a range of artboards\n   like '1, 3, 5-8'.\n4. [*Optional*] If you desire to add different margins for odd\n   and even numbered artboards, then select the **Alternate**\n   option. Then input the **Left** and **Right** margin for the\n   **Odd** and **Even** numbered artboard respectively.\n5. Input the margin value in the **Margin** text-field.\n6. [*Optional*] Equal margins will be added in all the directions.\n   Instead if you want to add different margins for different\n   directions, then check the **Different margins** box, and input\n   the margin values for top, left, right, and bottom.\n7. You can choose between **Guide** or **Rectangle** (with black \n   stroke) for the margin type.\n8. Finally to render the margins, press the **Add Margin** button.\n   The margins will be created in a new layer called **Margin**.\n\n---\n\n## [AddPadding.jsx](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mulaRahul/illustrator-scripts/main/AddPadding.jsx)\nAdd padding around your content in an artboard (by increasing the artboard size).\n\n![preview](/previews/AddPadding.gif)\n\n## 🔧 How to use\n\n1.
