A while back, Bill Cheeseman posted some code for printing to PDF from the front application. This script is based on his code.

tell application "System Events"
set appname to name of first process whose frontmost is true
end tell

activate application appname
tell application "System Events"
tell process appname
-- insert GUI Scripting statements here
keystroke "p" using command down
set PDFButton to menu button "PDF" of sheet 1 of window 1
click PDFButton
click menu item "Save As PDF…" of menu 1 of PDFButton
delay 1
click button "Save" of window 1
end tell
end tell

Woah! Now that's some slick code (oh man, don't you just hate the gurus being gurus sometimes… ;) ).

Thanks for posting! Just needs the filename added to the save dialogue and looks more or less done!
