The main problem is that one of the properties of a printer style is the path to where you want the PS file saved. Because that has to change with every page (and document), you can't use printer styles directly. Also, the target of the print command is the document, not path. So what you need to do is get the properties of the chosen printer style, then set the properties of the print preference of the document to them. Then each time through the loop you modify the print file property of the print preferences accordingly. Something like this (untested): ... set mySeparator to "_" set theProps to properties of printer style myPrinterStyle set properties of print preferences of myDocument to theProps 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 set print file of print preferences to MyFile print without print dialog end tell end repeat end tell -- Shane Stanley <sstanley@myriad-com.com.au>
