Well this is what I ended up with. After cearting the original one I relised that I needed you choose print styles and where it was saved so it changed a bit. This is what I ended up with if any one wants it.
Also have a version if there are multi page documents.
Thx for the help.

on open fileList

	tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
		set myFolderPath to (choose folder with prompt "Please select the folder you want to save your PDF pages in") as string
		set myStyles to name of PDF export styles
		set myExportStyle to (choose from list myStyles with prompt "Please Choose an Export style") as string
	end tell	
	repeat with aFile in fileList
		tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
			open aFile
			-- This section gets the info from the document
			set myDocument to active document
			set myName to name of myDocument
			set MyPDF to myFolderPath & myName & ".pdf"
			-- go go go
			tell myDocument
				export format PDF type to MyPDF using myExportStyle without showing options
				close myDocument saving no
			end tell
		end tell
	end repeat
end open
