How to Export Illustrator to PDF and PDF to Postscript in a script ?

hi everyone,

 

its possible export illustrator pdf , pdf postscript in script

 

can suggest how start... applescript or javascript

 

thanks,

karthick

this stripped down version of applescript got years ago somewhere on adobe website. works dragging , dropping illustrator files onto finder icon of script when saved application.

 

property extension_list : {"ai"}

 

on open these_items

--display dialog "only files extension \".ai\" processed script." buttons {"cancel", "ok"} default button 2

 

  repeat with i from 1 to the count of these_items

  set this_item to item i of these_items

  set the item_info to info for this_item

  try

  set this_extension to the name extension of item_info

  on error

  set this_extension to ""

  end try

  if (folder of the item_info is false) and (alias of the item_info is false) and (this_extension is in the extension_list) then

  process_item(this_item)

  end if

  end repeat

end open

 

on process_item(this_item)

 

  tell application "adobe illustrator"

  with timeout of 600 seconds

  set user interaction level to never interact

  open this_item as alias without dialogs

  set documentname to name of current document as string

  set the character_count to the number of characters of the documentname

  set shortname to (characters 1 thru (character_count - 3) of documentname) as string

  save current document in file {"your destination folder path goes here" & shortname & ".pdf"} as pdf with options {pdf preset:"the name of pdf preset goes here"}

  close current document saving no

  set user interaction level to interact all

  end timeout

  end tell

end process_item

 

sorry, don't have "pdf postscript" part of request.
