I work for a Magazine and we have been considering switching from Quark Xpress to InDesign. The problem is I need to be able to output single page postscript files from multiple page documents for our printer. I tried modifying a script I found here for creating single page PDF files. In the event log it seems like it is doing what I think should, but it doesn�t create any files.

Here is the script I have been trying:

tell application �InDesign 2.0.2�
	set myDocument to active document
	set myName to �Bmag�
	set myPages to pages of myDocument
	set myFolderPath to (choose folder with prompt �Please select the folder you want to save your Post Script Files in�) as string
	set myStyles to name of printer styles
	set myPrinterStyle to (choose from list myStyles with prompt �Please Choose an Export style�) as string
	set mySeparator to �_�
	repeat with anItem in myPages
		set myPageNumber to name of anItem as string
		set MyFile to myFolderPath & myName & mySeparator & myPageNumber & �.ps�
		set myPages to myPageNumber
		tell myDocument
			print MyFile using myPrinterStyle without print dialog
		end tell
	end repeat
end tell

What am I doing wrong?
