Scripting Acrobat Distiller


  • Subject: Scripting Acrobat Distiller

I am trying to write a droplet script that will direct Distiller 5 to
convert postscript files dropped on it to PDFs with specific security
settings. As far as I can tell I have it right except for one minor detail.
It converts the ps to pdf and sets the security to "Acrobat Standard
Security" and even sets the proper password, but regardless of the settings
I specify, the pdf produced has all of the options allowed.

Can any of you give me a clue what I am doing wrong? The line breaks may
display wrong in the email.

Script beginning -

on open y
set x to 1
set OptionPath to "Macintosh HD:Applications (Mac OS 9):Adobe Acrobat
5.0:Distiller:Settings:DistllForQuad.joboptions"
repeat number of items in y times
tell application "Acrobat Distiller 5.0"
open (item x of y as alias) joboptions alias OptionPath
changepassword "abc456" with wait without printing, changing, selecting and
notechanging
end tell

end repeat
end open

end of Script-

Thanks in advance for your help,
