I was wondering if would be possible solve the following issue in
Pages with apple script.

I need to force Pages to save document in PDF format at the moment
when you save it as a native Pages document.  Normally user have to
save it (as a native pages document) and then pick up "File -> Export
... -> PDF -> Next.. -> Export" to have pdf copy as well. I need to
save these clicks (exporting to pdf) in term of faster workflow.

Download this ...

http://www.cups-pdf.de/

It is a virtual printer that creates a pdf document instead of a paper document.
Using it requires a minimum of GUI scripting.
You will need to change the printer, like this ...

-- set printer to CUPS-PDF
tell application "Printer Setup Utility"
set currentPrinter to (current printer)
try
set current printer to printer "CUPS-PDF"
on error
error "CUPS-PDF is not installed."
end try
end tell

--  restore Printer
tell application "Printer Setup Utility"
set current printer to currentPrinter
quit
end tell
