I tried to run this script, and in my tests, I had two different PDF
files, one had an icon from Acrobat, and the other had an icon for
Preview. When the script processed the Acrobat file, it opened up in
Acrobat, but the one from Preview tried to open up in Preview, and the
script stops at
save document currentFileName to file EPSFilePath using EPS Conversion
I can only assume that what is happening is that on the
open currentFile
this is somehow passed to Preview instead of Acrobat, as Preview opens
up the file, and Script Editor comes up with the error
Acrobat 6.0 Professional got an error: document "BOOK.PDF" doesn't
understand the save message.
Or course, the reason I think for this is due to the document opening
in Preview. I am running Acrobat 6.0 Professional, might this be a
possible cause?
Also, on subsequent runs of the script, it doesn't go through the stuff
to allow the selection of folders, and just tries to continue process
from where it got the error.
