Here's what I wrote:
tell application "QuarkXPress 4.11" --Saves open Quark document from the
server to the user's hard drive
set pageWidth to width of bounds of current page as point units as real
set pageHeight to height of bounds of current page as point units as
real
set pageNumber to page number of current page --Checks to see what page
the document is currently displaying
tell document 1
print page pageNumber PostScript file "Macintosh HD:epss:in:WebAd"
end tell
end tell
I get an Error ID=-47
Which is a busy error. Any thoughts?
