print to pdf under OS 9.2

The print to pdf saga continues!!

The following Applescript works great under 10.2.4 within Filemaker (in FM I saved as
"1.pdf" print to pdf under Page setup);

set sourceFolder to "destination folder"
tell application "Finder"
set theFile to first file in folder sourceFolder
set newFilename to the clipboard & ".pdf" as string
set name of theFile to newFilename
end tell

Under OS X I could see the 1.pdf being saved and immediately being changed to the new name.

However, under OS 9.2 the above script did produce the 1.pdf file but also produced two folders - one named "In" and another "Out".

The problem is that the above script is inside a loop to print many pdf files and so, when it comes around to the second try through the loop I get an error stating there is already an item with that name.

I need an applescript to move those two folders ("In" & "Out") to the trash after each sequence through the loop. Is there a way to do this?

I've tried the following but it doesn't work.

tell app "Finder"
move folder "In" in "destination folder" to trash
end tell

Mike
