Be sure and kill all those automatic clipping paths that
you will get. You need to add that code to your script
or you will have problems with those converted files
where graphics with photoshop clipping paths are
imported.
Also, if you have custom alterations to the trapping decision
tables, you will lose those going from 3 to 4. Just a detail.
I don't know why but some folks will jack with that stuff
then their seps come out different (correct) when they convert
to 4. Although (correct) may not be what they desired or
expected.
You can kill those clipping paths with the script as you go.
Now, if you support or use Quark Clipping paths, you need
to set about identifying the images with Photoshop clipping
paths and selectively applying this correction. We do not
support Quarks clipping paths here so it's easier. Applying
clipping paths in a page layout program is not recommended.
tell application "QuarkXPress 4.11"
activate
tell document 1
try
delete clipping path 1 of image 1 of every picture box
on error errmsg
end try
end tell
end tell
