Indesign 2.0 eps preview

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X

Hello everyone,

it seems adobe did not give Applescript support for EPS preview format in Indesign 2.0 so I am stuck trying to make it work through GUI scripting and I’m not having much luck if anyone still has 2.0 I could sure use some help heres what ia have and although it appears to get the job done when I then try to import the EPS quark it tells me the preview is TIFF not PICT as it should be; If I do all the steps manually then it set the preview correctly


set clientWorkFolderPath to (path to desktop)
set QuarkFileName to "test"
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
	activate
	set previewFormat to " PICT"
	
	ignoring application responses
		export front document to ("" & clientWorkFolderPath & QuarkFileName & ".eps") format EPS type with showing options
	end ignoring
	delay 2
	tell application "System Events"
		tell application process "InDesign 2.0.2"
			repeat 2 times
				click of pop up button 3 of window 1
				delay 1
				click menu item previewFormat of menu 1 of pop up button 3 of window 1
				delay 1
			end repeat
			keystroke return
		end tell
	end tell
end tell

thanks :smiley:
