My operators enter the page range and filename into a dialog box. Then I set those in the script. I use the Press Quality preset to start with and then set the changes I want into a export variable. I set things like bleed, marks, page range, etc.
Here is an example:
set theProps to properties of PDF export preset "[Press Quality]"
try
delete PDF export preset "Schmidt PDF"
end try
set theStyle to {name:"Schmidt PDF", acrobat compatibility:acrobat 7, bleed top:"0.125i", bleed bottom:"0.125i", bleed inside:"0.125i", bleed outside:"0.125i", page marks offset:"0.125i", include ICC profiles:Include None, effective PDF destination profile:use no profile, effective PDF X profile:"No Color Conversion"} & theProps
make PDF export preset with properties theStyle
set properties of PDF export preferences to theStyle
set color bitmap sampling of PDF export preferences to none
set grayscale bitmap sampling of PDF export preferences to none
set page range of PDF export preferences to (item i of myPageList) as string
export document 1 format PDF type to (PrinergyFolder & myJobNumFinal & "_" & VerCode & ".pdf") as Unicode text without showing options
I am also doing this in Quark.
