Does CS4 offer any direct way for an ExtendScript to export just
selected objects as EPS?  Or JPEG or PDF?

I know I could copy the objects to another temporary document, but
that seems like an awful lot of overhead.  I'm going to be
partitioning each of hundreds or thousands of pages into multiple EPS
files, and creating temp documents seems like it would add a lot of
overhead.

Thanks,

Just to elaborate, the 'Group' object has an exportFile method which,
according to the description in the Object Model Viewer, exports the
objects in the group.  However, the OMV description lies.  It actually
exports everything on the page, whether in the group or not.
