- Thread-topic: Trying to Applescript Quartz Filter to reduce PDF file size
Thanks for that Malcolm, but I'm using the Save as PDF command in FileMaker
8 (which allows you to save the file using a variable for the file path +
PDF options - security, view etc) and not using print command. The Save As
PDF command does not access the Colour Sync utility. So I'd really like to
Applescript it afterwards.
I'm also using Tiger and ColorSync Utility doesn't seem to be scriptable.
[I realise that as a last resort I could use the print command (with the PDF
workflow option as you suggested) to save the file to a standard location
and then change it's name and move it to where I want it, but I was hoping
to avoid that as some of my PDFs are concantations of multiple file outputs.
Also using the Print command has other drawbacks re: Filemaker]
