Hello Everyone!
Looking for a way to script Quark to .jpg the way I am doing it is
tell Application "QuarkXpress"
--do stuff
save page 1 of document 1 in file ("Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:" &
projectNumber & ".eps" as string) EPS format Mac color EPS data binary EPS
scale 200 include preview "true"
close document 1 saving no
end tell
tell application "Adobe Illustrator 10"
activate
set user interaction level to never interact
open file (alias "imac hd:Desktop Folder:" & projectNumber & ".eps" as
string)
export document 1 to file ("Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:" &
projectNumber & proofNumber & ".gif" as string) as GIF
close document 1 saving no
end tell
The problem is that Illustrator take along time to parse the eps graphic or
it freezes my machine. I don't have that kind of time. I have been using
Graphic Converter along with Ghost Script to make the graphic. But the
quality stinks.
Any suggestions would be nice,
Thank Everyone!
