Can you tell me the exact requirement. Which InDesign version you are using? And please also mention the OS version.

Thanks

If the original poster replies that OS version is a flavor of X, I’ll move this request to the AppleScript | OS X forum.

Hi Gopal,

Good going!!!

I don’t have IDCS2, I am using IDCS3. Please see the code below.


tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
	print fileName using printer preset "SF00243" without print dialog
end tell

Why you want to use pdf_peplacement folder. You want all PS files should get saved in the pdf_peplacement folder right.

You are having one folder which contains X numbers of files, and now you want to save PS with using defined preset of all those files in the server location pdf_peplacement, so that PDF will get created.

But as per my knowledge, you can put your preset file in the server itself and create one que for that job and just fire print from the desktop to that que and you will get the PDF.

Anyway may be I am wrong, so please correct me. Or you can use Book facility available with indesign.

Thanks
