Acrobat Printing via AS not same as Command P

  • Thread-topic: Acrobat Printing via AS not same as Command P

I¹ve got a folder of 68 PDFs I want Acrobat to print. I created a repeat
script to count the files then print them one at a time.

I tell Acrobat 6.02 to open the page, print it then close the doc, then open
next doc.

The problem is all the pages are coming out in Black and White (with some
color) and no crop marks or page info.

If I open the same document and do a standard Command P and print it is in
color and with full info.

Here is the script. I¹ve tried it with 7.0 but it breaks and says the
document doesn¹t understand the print pages command. I rewrote it and it
compiles and runs without error but nothing actually prints. I put in a
delay thinking it was printing in B&W because it didn¹t have time to display
on the screen. That didn¹t make a difference.

    tell application "Adobe Acrobat 6.02 Professional"
            activate
            open myfile
            delay 20
            print pages document myfilename
            close all docs saving "No"
        end tell


The following compiles and runs but doesn¹t print.
    tell application "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional"
            activate
            open myfile
            delay 20
            print page 1 of document myfilename
            close all docs saving "No"
        end tell

Any suggestions?
