Thanks for your input Simon & kai!
The script below did the trick nicely,
thanks!
However, the client has just informed
me that their people need to place the barcode file into a Word Doc so
the PDF option is now out.
I did some tests and have found that
wmf is a suitable format for maintaining the barcode as vector (best for
quality printing to whatever device at whatever size) and is very small
in file size compared with a high-res JPG. I can drop the bar code
file in Illustrator and export to wmf.
To automate this process inside another
script we run I was hoping that Image Events could save as wmf but not
so. Even Illustrator isn't scriptable to save a wmf file.
Does anyone know of an automated way
of creating a wmf file from an eps.. or any vector based graphics file
format acceptable to Word (Mac/PC)?
Cheers,
Coj

Not sure if something like this will do exactly what you want, Coj -
but you might like to play around with it:
---------------
set f to choose file with prompt ¬
"Choose an EPSF file:" of type "EPSF" without invisibles
set {name:n, name extension:{length:e}} to info for f
if e is 0 then set n to n & "."
set n to n's text 1 thru -(e + 1) & "pdf"
set p to choose file name default name n default location f ¬
with prompt "Choose a PDF name and location:"
do shell script "pstopdf " & quoted form of f's POSIX path
& ¬
" -o " & quoted form of p's POSIX path
---------------
