I'm trying to write a batch that will process 6,000+ PDFS and save them as Postscript files. I'm using the following code:

var pp = this.getPrintParams();
pp.fileName = "/c/temp/test.ps";
pp.printerName = "";
this.print(pp);

However it produces a PDF file. How do I change it to produce .ps files?

Thanks for any help.

Are you telling me that the code above does not create the "test.ps" file?? I just tried it out without a problem.

But you know, if you're goig to be using this code in a batch process, you really ought to give the output PS files different names.
