Ok. I thought you meant that " - Proof" was somehow being added to the beginning of the string which just didn't make any sense.
So your resulting filename is "my_placed_image.pdf"?
try this:
...saveAsPdf(
'~/Desktop/Illustrator Hot Folder/Reveal Zund Marks/OUT',
activeDocument.placedItems[0].file.name,
'Dynagraphics PDF - Flat - Layers'
);
function saveAsPdf(targFoldPath, targFileName, pdfPresName)
{
var destFolder = new Folder (targFoldPath);
var pdfOpts = new PDFSaveOptions();

I think that your base script should like this (without comments):
//@target illustrator
main();
function main() {
var aitFile = File('~/Desktop/Illustrator Hot Folder/Add Zund-Print-Save/ZTemplate/Zund Setup.ait');
app.open(aitFile);
var foldPath = '~/Desktop/Illustrator Hot Folder/Add Zund-Print-Save/IN'
var fold = Folder(foldPath);
var files = fold.getFiles();
var file, newImg, doc, artboards, img;
for (var j = 0; j < files.length; j++) {
file = files
; newImg = activeDocument.placedItems.add();
newImg.file = file;
newImg.position = [200, -300];
}
doc = app.activeDocument;
artboards = doc.artboards;
img = doc.placedItems[0];
img.left = 0;
img.top = 0;
artboards[0].artboardRect = [0, 0, img.width, -(img.height)];
app.executeMenuCommand('fitall');
addThroughCut();
wrapper('BRINGTOFRONT');
prnt();
saveAsPdf('Proof' + app.activeDocument.placedItems[0].file.name);
wrapper('SENDTOBACK');
saveAsPdf(app.activeDocument.placedItems[0].file.name);
app.documents[0].close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
files = myFolder.getFiles();
for (var i = files.length - 1; i > -1; i--) {
files.remove();
}

You are running the scripts through ExtendScriptToolkit and see where errors occur?
ps. Can you format the code in the same way?
Thank you!
