one path back from originalDocPath scripting

Question

I'm using scripts to save PDFs in various formats in various folders.  var PRINT = Folder(originalDocPath + "/Print");
if (!PRINT.exists) {
    PRINT.create();
}
var _pdfFileName = PRINT.fsName + "/" + originalDocName + "_PRINT.pdf";
var dest = Folder(PRINT);My Folder structure looks like this.\Currently I have to have the document saved in the enclosing folder (5000_ABC_Example) but I want to have it in the Artwork folder. Basically how do I direct to:originalDocPath but back one folder?

Hi @Mike Bro

The script is creating a folder named "Artwork..Low Res" inside of "5000_ABC_Example".

I want it to create a folder inside "5000_ABC_Example" called "Low Res" (If it doesn't already exist) and save the new file in it.

@Kyle26205577rhrw,

I see now...

Give this a try...

var LOWRES = Folder(originalDocPath.parent + "/Low Res");
if (!LOWRES.exists) {
    LOWRES.create();
}
var _pdfFileName = LOWRES.fsName + "/" + originalDocName + "_LR.pdf";
var dest = Folder(LOWRES);

Regards,

Mike
