set fileList to every file of folder (choose folder) -- OR
-- set fileList to every file of folder -- explicit path to folder
tell application "Acrobat Distiller"
open fileList
end tell
Sorry. This probably won't work. Either stick with the Repeat through
each item, or maybe somebody else can shed some light.
Good Luck,

This should do it...

-- set fileList to every file of folder -- explicit path to folder
tell application "Acrobat Distiller"
open fileList

However, as you know, Distiller will only process one at a time, but
this will give it the whole list at once.
I hope this helps.

Doesn't work, unfortunately. The first line is really what I had in
mind. To get it to compile, I have to drop "folder": set fileList to
every file of (choose folder). But then I get a "Can't get every
file of ... " error.
It seems like it ought to be a simple proposition, but I guess maybe
I should just stick with my original, iterating through each item and
sending each one separately to Distiller...

Give this a try...
set fileList to every file of folder (choose folder)
repeat with listitem in fileList
set itemToProcess to listitem
display dialog "Process this file: " & itemToProcess
end repeat
I just threw in the "display dialog" just for demonstration
purposes. This is where you would process the file in focus.
There are many more people on this list that know a lot more than I
do. So don't just go by what I say. :-)
