Javascript for Illustrator Save to PDF

[Nokturnal1]

Hi all,

This is my first post on here. Im looking to see if anyone knows how to edit the Javascript for Illustrator CS4? Adobe already has a script in Illustrator called 'SaveDocsAsPDF.jsx'. I want to be able to tweak this script so I can edit the PDF Save Options to do things like add trim marks and bleed, since this script clips the bleed at the trim box. When I open the script, it gives some info like:

// See PDFSaveOptions in the JavaScript Reference for available options

// Set the options you want below:

// For example, uncomment to set the compatibility of the generated pdf to Acrobat 7 (PDF 1.6)
// options.compatibility = PDFCompatibility.ACROBAT7;

But they fail to mention where this is 'JavaScript Reference' is so I have no idea where to find the script options. Anyone out there have any idea? I am not a code person, but I do have the awareness of how to edit them.

Thanks

I posted our internal version of this script on a different thread in the last few weeks, including instructions for editing it. It's set to use standard joboptions instead of hand coding the individual PDF settings. Take a look here.

Thanks alot Shawn. This is EXACTLY what I needed. I was able to enter our own PDF Preset into the script and it worked. Thanks so much.
