I am trying to script the to click menu item "Save PDF to Evernote" of the PDF button on iWorks Pages "Print" dialog.

tell application "Pages"
activate
set file_name to name of document 1


tell application "System Events"
tell application process "Pages"
--keystroke "p" using {command down} --this works
--delay 3
click menu item "Print…" of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
click menu of menu button "PDF" of sheet 1 of window file_name
click menu item "Save PDF to Evernote" of menu 1 of menu button "PDF" of sheet 1 of window file_name --Errors at this line. 
end tell

end tell


However in Mac OS X Lion I get an applescript runtime error on the third line that starts with "click": 

"System Events got an error: Can’t get menu 1 of menu button "PDF" of sheet 1 of window "Europe's debt crisis prompts central banks to provide dollar liquidity.pages" of application process "Pages". Invalid index."
I have IU Browser but I am not sure how to get a working script out of it.
