hello all...

i am sure this is a rookie problem so please forgive if terminology is not accurate.

i have about 80 icons, each in their own ai document. i have the need to change the color of these frequently.

currently i open the ai docs in illustrator, edit the color, and then export each file to an existing folder and replace the old png with the new to avoid typing the file name again. with that many documents to edit the time it takes to accomplish this is several hours. i was hoping for a way to merge all 80  documents into 1,  batch edit colors and then batch export as replacements to existing folder.

they must be png format as individual files

is this possible? or is there at least a more efficient way to do this??

i hope this makes sense and if this process is  adobe 101, please chalk it up to another idiot making something

simple very hard.

thanks for any help in advance.
