Thanks for the tip, Jason. I've tried that and it did not work for me.
Because the end users are Win2K users that does not have any page layout
programs to use except for MS Word (if you call that a page layout program).
After scaling in MS WOrd, the resolution did not change. And the wordings
get worse. That's why I abandoned that idea.
Over the course of yesterday, I managed to use Applescript to call an action
set that exports JPEG at the resolution that I wanted without going through
a lot of extra steps with other applications. The only other thing that I
did was to build a rename module that renames the output file correctly
because the action set will always save the output file using the same name.
I discovered that I need that rename module when I discovered that I only
have 1 file in my output folder after running 61 files through the script.
Although it is not as clean as directly using JPEG export command, but it
serves the purpose for me.
I only wish that Adobe will provide an upgraded verson of Scripting Support
so that I can have full control of every aspect of Illustrator through
Applescript.
Thank you again for the help.

Scale it vertically and horizontally (300 to 400 percent) in the export

which will increase the resolution.
