CHAPTER 3: Documents Exporting a Document as PDF 45
Exporting to PDF
The following script exports the current document as PDF, using the current PDF export options. (For the
complete script, see ExportPDF.)
app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, File("/c/myTestDocument.pdf"),
false);
The following script fragment shows how to export to PDF using a PDF export preset. (For the complete
script, see ExportPDFWithPreset.)
var myPDFExportPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item("prepress");
app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, File("/c/myTestDocument.pdf"),
false, myPDFExportPreset);
Setting PDF export options
The following script sets the PDF export options before exporting. (For the complete script, see
ExportPDFWithOptions.)
