My apologies in advance if this has already been answered but I could not find any matches using the search facility.

I am successfully creating a PDFExportPreference object and can use it to create for instance, Adobe 4 and Adobe 5 PDFS.

I am successfully creating a FlattenerStyle. I believe this to be working since the first time I create the style I get no messages. But if I then create a style with the same name then I get an error message regarding the line where the NAME property is set.

I link the flattener style to the FlatteneStyle property of the PDFExportPreferences object as follows:

361 $pdfexportpreferences->{'FlattenerStyle'} = $InDesign->FlattenerStyles->Item("Peter May");

Peter May being the name of the flattener style I created =)

When run I get the following error:

The property is not applicable in the current state.

Win32::OLE(0.1502) error 0x80020009: "Exception occurred"
    in PROPERTYPUTREF "FlattenerStyle" at ImageServer.pl line 361

Any advice what-so-ever would be greatfully received.

Thank you.

I am happy to post more of my code if that would help.

Language is Perl but is syntactically close to VB for these lines. Swop "->" for "."
