Hi all,
Hopefully there's a simple answer to
the following.
The following script asks the user to
choose the type of output they want. It then uses the two words returned
as separate values.
The first word (eg. A4) works fine because
the property uses quotes to define the value (eg. paper size:"A4").
The second value stops the script with
an error as it requires a value without quotes (orientation:portrait)
set PaperSize to item
1 of (choose from list {"A4 Portrait", "A4 Landscape",
"A3 Portrait", "A3 Landscape", "Custom"}
with prompt "Choose the appropriate PDF paper size:")
set pSize
to first word of PaperSize
set pOrient
to word 2 of PaperSize
tell document 1
set
properties of print setup to ¬
{separation:false, print spreads:false, collate:false,
include blank pages:false, print thumbnails:false, back to front:false,
page sequence:odd pages, registration marks:centered, registration marks
offset:"6 pt", tiling:off, printer type:"Adobe PDF",
paper size:pSize,
paper offset:"0 mm", page gap:"0 mm", reduce
or enlarge:"100%", fit in area:false, page position:center position,
orientation:pOrient,
print colors:composite CMYK, resolution:1200, halftone screen:"100"}
print
end tell
The error is: "A descriptor type
mismatch occurred"
From the Events Log I can see the following
showing in the properties: orientation:"Portrait"
Is it possible to have it return just
portrait
(sans quotes)?
Many thanks,
