Looking for a script for PDF creation

Question

I am looking for a script or instructions for a script with which I can directly control or select a specific PDF setting (I would give the script a keyboard command). Unfortunately my scripting skills are extremely limited...

The script should really only call up the job option mentioned, that's all it needs to be able to do.

Try this:

var myPDFExportPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item("ml_PDF_Translation_Black");
var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog ('Choose a Folder');
var pdf = String (app.activeDocument.fullName).replace (/\.indd$/, ".pdf");
pdf = pdf.replace(app.activeDocument.filePath,"");
app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, File(myFolder + pdf), false, myPDFExportPreset);

Should be easy enough
Do you want the same file name - do you need a prompt for the file name?
Do you want it to save to the same folder as the InDesign file or a different folder?
Do you have PDF preset saved - and what is the name of your PDF preset so it can be selected when running the script?

Any other info you can give for this?
