I use version 3.1 about 300+ times a day on two different machines with no
problem. and this is the code I use.
tell application "PreFab Player"
--Yield processor time to PreFab Player
set forced yield to true
set mouse delay to 7
set typing delay to 7
ignoring application responses
--Print
type "p" holding command
--Activate FrameMaker Printer Dialog
type page down key
--Disable Generate Acrobat Data
set value of checkbox 35 to 0
--Enable Western style Crop Marks
--drag from {172, 145} to {172, 157}
--Enable Print to File
drag from {437, 24} to {437, 40}
--Save Button to prompt location
click button "Save"
--Using default folder click where the folder is open to
open that location in a Navigation Dialog Box
SetFileDialogFolder alias folderPath
--Paste new file name into save dialog box.
type "v" holding command
--Save FrameMaker Document in the destination folder as
postscript
click button "Save"
end ignoring
end
Hope this helps
