Publish PS along with PDF in Publishing Server 2022

Hi, 

I am looking for a way to save PS file every time a task for PDF is completed by the FM Publishing Server. 

I was not able to find any configuration in the PDF quality presets and don' see an option to publish directly to PS.

I understand that under "Print" menu option in FM there is a checkbox "Save to File", which will allow to create the PS file. I need the process to be automated, however. Am I missing some Publishing Server \ FM configuration? Or do I have to have a pre\post JS script or a FDK customization? 

 

Thank you for your input!

    Per Adobe support, there are no way to achieve this through Publishing Server config. Sadly, as of time of writing this, the only route is a combination of pre- or post- publish scripts within FM Pub Server and FDK or ExtendScript customization.

    Please contact me if you decide to go the ExtendScript route. I have done some of this work over the years. Thanks.

    Very, very, very few people on here are using FM Publishing Server, so I suggest you ping the FM folks directly - see https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/enterprise-support.other.html#framemaker for your Adobe Support options. I'd recommend using the tcssup@adobe.com e-mail address as it reaches a team dedicated to Technical Communication Suite products including FrameMaker.
