That's how I do it--here's a bit of stuff from my shop's basic script for
PDF output from ID CS2:
<snippet>
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
-- make PDF export preset for complete OPI
if PDF export preset "Thin PDF" exists then -- do nothing
else
make new PDF export preset with properties {acrobat
compatibility:acrobat 4, color bitmap compression:zip, color bitmap
sampling DPI:300, color bitmap sampling:bicubic downsample, grayscale
bitmap compression:zip, grayscale bitmap sampling DPI:300, grayscale
bitmap sampling:bicubic downsample, monochrome bitmap compression:CCIT4,
monochrome bitmap sampling DPI:1200, monochrome bitmap sampling:bicubic
downsample, Gray tile size:128, threshold to compress color:450, threshold
to compress gray:450, threshold to compress monochrome:1800, compress text
and line art:false, color tile size:128, include slug with PDF:true,
interactive elements:false, OC Registry:"", output condition name:"",
output condition:"Custom", bleed bottom:0.0, bleed inside:0.0, bleed
outside:0.0, bleed top:0.0, simulate overprint:false, use document bleed
with PDF:true, PDF X profile:use document, standards compliance:none,
bleed marks:false, compression type:Compress None, color bars:false, crop
marks:true, PDF color space:unchanged color space, applied flattener
preset:"2400ppi", generate thumbnails:false, include ICC profiles:Include
None, crop images to frames:true, ignore spread overrides:true, include
bookmarks:false, include hyperlinks:false, include structure:false, export
nonprinting objects:false, omit bitmaps:true, omit EPS:true, omit PDF:true
, optimize PDF:false, content to embed:Use Object Settings, export layers:
false, page information marks:true, PDF mark type:default, printer mark
weight:p25pt, page marks offset:1.0, name:"Thin PDF", export reader
spreads:false, registration marks:true, subset fonts below:0, export
guides and grids:false}
end if
-- set page to output
tell PDF export preferences
set page range to printPageRange
end tell
-- output PDF of current page
tell thisDoc
export thisDoc format "Adobe PDF" to newOutputName using
thePDFTypeDesired
end tell
end tell
--printPageRange is an integer telling which page to output, newOutputName
is an alias or alias-like string for the output file, thePDFTypeDesired is
a string or name of a PDF Export Preset.
