Can anyone offer any insight as to why this script won’t work?
tell application "InDesign"
set properties of PDF export preferences to {grayscale bitmap sampling:downsample, color bitmap sampling:downsample, monochrome bitmap sampling:downsample, color bitmap sampling DPI:72, grayscale bitmap sampling DPI:72, monochrome bitmap sampling DPI:300}
tell document 1
export format PDF type to ("Desktop:" & name & ".PDF") without showing options
end tell
end tell
I keep getting:
InDesign got an error: Can’t make “Desktop:Untitled-8.PDF” into type «class kfil».
I think the problem was with just where you were exporting to.
you didn’t specify a full path.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
set x to name of document 1
set FilePath to (path to desktop folder) & x & ".PDF" as string
set properties of PDF export preferences to {grayscale bitmap sampling:downsample, color bitmap sampling:downsample, monochrome bitmap sampling:downsample, color bitmap sampling DPI:72, grayscale bitmap sampling DPI:72, monochrome bitmap sampling DPI:300}
tell document 1
export format PDF type to FilePath without showing options
end tell
end tell
