QuarkXpress image properties


  • Subject: QuarkXpress image properties
  • From: Brian Binotto <email@hidden>

We get QuarkXpress 5 files from a client who will have both EPS and
Jpeg images placed. We replace the Jpeg images with EPS images we
create here before going to our RIP. What has happened is that the
person replacing the images in the Quark file may miss a few of the
Jpeg images. These LoRes Jpegs are then Ripped within the page and
have gone to press. making the customer quite irate.

I need to find a way to set the Jpeg images in QuarkXpress to missing
without changing the EPS status to missing.

With the way our jobs and folder structures are setup I can not just
delete the Jpeg files from the server. I would like to change the
properties of the Jpeg images in QuarkXpress to set the missing
property to true rather than false using an Applescript.

Below is a snippet of the script I have written. When I run it I get
the error:

"QuarkXPress got an error: Can't set properties of every image of
document 1 whose file type = JPEG picture to {missing:true}." -10006

tell application "QuarkXPress"
tell document 1
try
set x to every image where file type is JPEG picture as list
set properties of every image where file type is JPEG picture to
{missing:true}--this is where it errors
on error errMsg number errNum
display dialog errMsg & return & return & errNum
end try
end tell


Any help is much appreciated,
Brian
