Title: Printing postscript files from Indesign
I’m trying to print individal postcript files for each page of a multi-page InDesign doc. The first part of this script just creates the folder in which the files will end up. It’s the second part that’s troubling me: the script won’t accept the “print file” path. Anyone have any ideas?
--this script depends on an InDesign print preset named "ps Export"
set theHD to (path to startup disk as string)
set tDT to (path to desktop as string)
set theF to (path to desktop as string) & "Postscript files" & ":"
tell application "Finder"
activate
set userResponse to (display dialog "What would you like to name the folder that will hold these PDFs? The files will carry the same name." default answer " ")
set folderName to text returned of userResponse
if not (exists folder "Postscript files" of folder tDT) then
make new folder at tDT with properties {name:"Postscript files"}
end if
make new folder at folder "Postscript files" of folder tDT with properties {name:folderName}
end tell
set folderPath to theF & folderName & ":"
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
activate
with timeout of 1200 seconds
set theDoc to document 1
set pageCount to count every page of theDoc
repeat with i from 1 to pageCount
set filePath to theF & folderName & ":" & folderName & "_" & i & ".ps"
set pagenumb to i & "-" & i as string
set properties to {page range:pagenumb}
set print file to filePath
print using "ps Export" without print dialog
end repeat
end timeout
end tell
