My problem is getting a PDF with the same custom page size as the original
QuarkXpress 4.11 page.
If I tell Quark to
print document 1 PostScript file PSFile OPI include images
After setting some print setup settings
tell print setup
--set registration marks to off
set printer type to "Acrobat Distiller"
set (print colors as grays) to true
--set (include blank pages) to false
--set orientation to portrait
--set page position to left position
set paper width to "10\""
--set reduce or enlarge to "100%"
--set resolution to 1200
end tell
This works for the width but not the height and I can't find were to set the
height. In the Page Setup dialog you can set the height to "Automatic"
but I don't see were to do this in the dictionary.
Another method would be to save the file as an EPSF and Distill that setting
the Advance options settings to "Resize Page and Center Artwork for EPS
file".
How do you save Page 1 as an EPSF or .eps file using AppleScript?
I have tried;
save document MyDocName in file newFilePath as "EPSF" EPS format Mac black
and white EPS data binary
But this results in a file that is not an .eps but appears like regular
Quark document
The dictionary has;
save reference -- the object to save
[in alias] -- the file in which to save the object
[as type class] -- the file type of the document in which to save
the data
*** What file type class would I use here to make the saved file an eps?
[template boolean] -- save this document as a template
[include preview boolean] -- include a preview picture with this
document
[EPS format Mac black and white/Mac color/Mac DCS/Mac DCS2/PC black
and white/PC color/PC DCS/PC DCS2] -- EPS format for Save Page as EPS
[EPS data ASCII EPS/binary EPS/clean EPS] -- data format for Save
Page as EPS
[OPI omit TIFF/omit TIFF and EPS/include images] -- OPI options for
Save Page as EPS
[bleed vertical measurement] -- bleed option for Save Page as EPS
[scale percent] -- scale option for Save Page as EPS
[version vers 33/vers 40/vers current/vers other] -- version to
save the document as
I am using "Acrobat Distiller 4.0
The "set (print colors as grays) to true" in the first method might help
when I go to print the re imported PDF an a spot color separated page.
Thanks Jeremy
