At first, thanks to everybody.
I'm sure my file names aren't duplicated and they are always 8-12 characters
long. I searched Quark archives and always, like Kim Kohen says, there is
the some problem with .ps files & error -48 (or -50, "Error in user
parameter list"). I made some changes into my script and it works momentary.
Basically, it was:
property my_destination_folder : ((path to desktop folder) & "Postscripts:")
as string
And now it is:
property my_destination_folder : ""
tell app "Finder"
set my_destination_folder to (choose folder) as string
(...)
tell app "QuarkXPress"
(...)
set destFile to my_destination_folder & (doc_name as string) & ".ps"
print document 1 PostScript file destFile
It seems to be useful (momentary) to define 'my_destination_folder' every
time it runs.
