Shane, I did the same and then changed the settings in the UI , saved manually and ran the script again and the output was the same as the last UI save. I was wrong in beleiving that the file type conversion cannot be changed - seems that the EPS conversion class "inherits" the properties that last UI save uses. That doesn't solve the problem of how to dynamically change those properties in an AppleScript workflow though. ... wouldnt be surprised if it worked via OLE though (sigh) Hugh >Hmmm. I just saved a PDF as EPS via the UI, specifying PS level 3 and TIFF >preview. I then ran the following script: >tell application "Acrobat 5.0" > tell document 1 > set filePath to file alias as text > end tell > activate > save document 1 to file (filePath & "**") using EPS Conversion >end tell >According to BBEdit, the two resulting EPS files are identical. > Any thoughts? ______________________ Hugh Justham 04 1903 3509 DNA Multimedia Pty Ltd hugh@dna.multimedia.com.au ______________________ This email is intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above and may contain information that is confidential and privileged.
