I wish to create a Javascript button that will automatically print the open document to the "Adobe PDF" printer, AND print it as an image with 300dpi.
 
I currently have to go into advanced settings each time I wish to toggle this option. Does anyone know how to program this?

Hi,

you can do this with javascript.
  1. var pp = this.getPrintParams();
  2. pp.printAsImage = true;
  3. pp.printerName = "Adobe PDF";
  4. this.print(pp);
You can add this to a button's mouse up/down event or execute it from the console (ctrl + j).
