Question
Print single plate Applescript
The following script will turn off all plates (colors) except the one spot, open the print dialog, and the resulting .ps file will have only one spot color.
However if I include "print without dialog" I get all plates.
Any thoughts on why/how to avoid getting all plates
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
tell active document
tell print preferences
-- set other properties for example, active printer style
set color output to separations
set printer to postscript file
set PPD to "Xerox DocuColor 2006"
set print file to "Chaco:Users:tpetrill:Desktop:TEST2.ps"
