Creating a document preset
To create a document preset using explicit values, run the following script (from the DocumentPreset
tutorial script):
var myDocumentPreset;
//If the document preset "myDocumentPreset" does not already exist, create it.
myDocumentPreset = app.documentPresets.item("myDocumentPreset");
try {
var myPresetName = myDocumentPreset.name;
}
catch (myError){
myDocumentPreset = app.documentPresets.add({name:"myDocumentPreset"});
}
//Fill in the properties of the document preset.
with(myDocumentPreset){
pageHeight = "9i";
pageWidth = "7i";
left = "4p";
right = "6p";
