added underscore on different machines-INDD

#1

Folks-

I’m asking InDesign to export EPS files and on one machine it generates an underscore, whereas on the other it doesn’t:

on one machine it generates EPS files named:

callout1
callout2
callout3
callout4

Etc

Based on the page number.

on another machine (same build)


callout_1
callout_2
callout_3
callout_4

Etc

The call is pretty clearly NOT stipulating an underscore

        set vEPSlocation to (vjobpath as string) & "callout & PDF:" & "callout" --sets EPS export location

Can anyone think what might influence this setting to generate an underscore?

thanks!

Ralph

I don’t think enough of your script is present to evaluate a potential problem - where are the numbers coming from? I would try to see what that line actually returns on the affected machine. You might be able to resolve the issue by coercing the whole line to a string.
