Hello Karen, thank you for answer. I think I can script my way through now as far as InDesign is concerned. Despite the fact that we almost never use Quark anymore, I think it's still a good idea to include Quark export in my script as well (just for the cases I need it). I did a lot of InDesign scripting (automatic lay-out with Woodwing plugin and xml), but I never scripted a sigle line for Quark. Do you mind sending me (part of) your script concerning Quark PDF Export?

I also wonder about the scriptability of Illustrator as far as PDF Export is concerned. The fourth application we use is Freehand (unfortunately discontinued; we used it for almost 20 years ever since version 2.0).

My final goal is to create a script that guides operators through the process of creating a certtified PDF by asking then a few simple questions.

Questions I ask them are for example:
1) Lores or Hires PDF?
2) Advertisement yes or no?
3) Papertype 1,2,3,4 or 5
3) Sheet offset or Rotation (web) offset.
4) Spotcolors in use yes or no?

Kind regards,
Bertus.
