Yes, I've finally figured out how to script the exporting of an EPS in
Acrobat 5. It looks something like:
set myPDF to "path_to_pdf"
tell application "Acrobat 5.0"
open file myPDF
save document 1 to "destination_Path:epsName" using EPS Conversion
end tell
But I haven't figured out how to specify parameters yet, such as ascii vs
binary, and tiff preview vs pict.
The Acrobat 5.0 dictionary is pretty worthless. I did find documentation
from Adobe in a document called "Acrobat Interapplication Communication
Reference" at
http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/acrosdk/docs.html,
thanks to an old string from a fellow named David Livesay
(email@hidden). I have a query into Mr. Livesay to see if he can
elaborate.
