Shane, thanks!
full name of book contents of book 1
Hehe, yes of course.
But I�m beginning to think that InDesign doesn�t like printing book file through AppleScript�
This one crashes InDesign at this line: set active printer style of print preferences of book 1 to "PDF PS"
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
activate
tell book 1
set theDocs to full name of book contents of book 1
repeat with i from 1 to count of theDocs
set myName to (name of book 1) & "_"
set myFolderPath to (choose folder with prompt "Please select the folder you want to save your PDF pages in") as string
tell print preferences
set active printer style to "PDF PS"
set print file to targetFolder & myName & i & ".ps"
set printer to postscript file
end tell
print without print dialog
end repeat
end tell
end tell
And this one crashes InDesign at this line: set print file to myPSPathAndName
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
set myBook to book 1
set myFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Please select the folder you want to save your PS pages in") as string
set myFileName to name of myBook
tell myBook
set theDocs to full name of book contents of book 1
repeat with myBCCounter from 1 to count of theDocs
set myPSPathAndName to myFolder & myFileName & "_" & myBCCounter & ".ps"
tell print preferences
set myBCname to myBCCounter as string
set print file to myPSPathAndName
end tell
print myBCname without print dialog
end repeat
end tell
end tell
�does anybody know if this is; something that can�t be done or bug or is there something missing from my examples?
