Re: Using AppleScript, how to save Quark XPress documents as pdf files under Classic ?

Hi,

this code fails using Tiger 4.1 and XPress 6.x:

-------
tell application "QuarkXPress"
    tell document 1
        print
    end tell
end tell
-------

XPress will quit unexpectedly!

---------
Console:

Command: QuarkXPress
Path: /Applications/QuarkXPress 6.1/QuarkXPress Passport.app/ Contents/MacOS/QuarkXPress
Parent: WindowServer [91]

Version: QuarkXPress version 6.1 (6.0)

PID:    421
Thread: 0

Exception:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes:      KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0x54dc1838
----------

The same code executes without any problem using Panther 3.9 and XPress 6.x!

There are some workarounds with UI Scripting

None of them is a complete replace for the print command.

Cheers

Thanks for this information. But ...


First you have to save a ps file and then convert it into pdf.


I did exactly this


Tell application "QuarkXPress"
    Print document 1 postscript file "MacHD:abc.ps"
End tell


But the script hangs up without doing anything, and quits after time-out.

Any special ingredient, or AS magic formula  missing ?

Hi,

What is the exact AppleScript syntax under Mac OS X (10.3.9 or
10.4.2) to save a multi pages Quark XPress document as a pdf file,
when XPress (version 5.0) in running under Classic ?

Thanks for your help.
