Hello,

   I am trying to sort through print options in
Adobe Illustrator CS.  What I want to do is this,
get all my printing parameters setup and then read
them to a result.  Take that result and use it to
call up all the options like I want them.  But,
unlike other applications, I cannot seem to get
the syntax correct to read the settings.  I am
trying stuff ,like

tell application "Adobe Illustrator CS"
   set x to print options of document 1
end tell

   Somehow I am lost in a hierarchy of classes and
cannot sort through the Print Suite of the dictionary.
All I want to do is call up a complete CURRENT printing
condition to a result so I can re-use it.

This is an example of how to print to a postscript file, but it shows all the options and how to call them.


set filePath to (path to "docs" as Unicode text) & "test.pdf"

tell application "Illustrator CS"
activate
set jobOptions to {class:job options, designation:visible printable layers, file path:filePath} --name:"test3",
set colorOptions to {class:color management options, name:"ColorMatch RGB", intent:saturation}
set coordinateOptions to {class:coordinate options, fit to page:false, position:center, orientation:landscape}
set flatteningOptions to {class:flattening options, clip complex regions:false, gradient resolution:300, rasterization resolution: 300.0, flattening balance:100.0}
set fontOptions to {class:font options, download fonts:complete}
set paperOptions to {class:paper options, name:"A3"} --, transverse:true}
set postscriptOptions to {class:postscript options, PostScript:level 3}
set printOptions to {class:print options, job settings:jobOptions, coordinate settings:coordinateOptions, flattener settings:flatteningOptions, font settings:fontOptions, postscript settings:postscriptOptions, printer name:"Adobe PDF"}
print document 1 options printOptions
end tell


HTH,

Simon
