Hi folks,

I am having some difficulties exporting a pdf using javascript.
The code I am using looks like this:

myDocument.exportFile( ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File(pathToFile) );

myDocument is a business card sized document. When my script is run from CS4 on a mac this code works fine. It exports a business card sized PDF.

However in CS3 on Windows it exports the artwork into a letter sized PDF. I don't think that it is a Windows problem I just happen to only have access to CS3 on windows and CS4 on a mac.

I'd appreciate if anyone can shed some light on this and give me some pointers on how I can ensure my pdf is the correct size (the same size as the document).

cheers
Ben
