See the action information for individual formats for definitions of the additional parameters.Parameters:kAIPlaceDocumentActionNameKey The name string of the file to place.kAIPlaceDocumentActionLinkKey When true, the file is linked. When false, the file is embedded.kAIPlaceDocumentActionReplaceKey When true, the file replaces the current selection in the document.kAIPlaceDocumentActionTemplateKey When true. creates a template layer and places the file in that layer.

kAIPlaceDocumentAction is defined as "adobe_placeDocument".

Either should work, but I would recommend using the constant.

I found this by looking at "AIActionManager.h". I would recommend looking around first before posting questions - this was not hard to find.
