How to convert a file into a rasterized object in Illustrator using scripting?

Question

I need to do this for a batch of files, so I need help on converting a file into a rasterized object, and then using a gaussian blur on it afterwards, in the built-in JavaScript.

I so far have not found any easy way of doing this.
