- Thread-topic: Setting Page Setup in Quark
I tried that. The script errored on that line (set paper size to "Custom"), perhaps because "Custom" is an indeterminate size.
I then edited the printer description on my Mac so that a certain page size "A" which I never use comes up as the exact size I want my postscript to be.
Changing the line to read:
set paper size to "A"
I then got the result I wanted. Unfortunately, it's not nearly as flexible as the Quark 3.32 version, because it has to be a set size.
Still, it does the job for my purposes.
Thanks again for the help!
