Ok so I spent a little time testing this. The PDF files that it is creating are causing issues where the files are corrupted. So here is an updated script. This is using the saveAs method. I have also made it so you can check multiple boxes and get multiple files.
I have put in comments to try to explain the script. I would work off of this. Post back if you come up with your requirements.

// Make a dialog with the header name "Select the size..."
var selectSizeWindow = new Window('dialog', "Select the size...");
// Create a group for the UI
var checkBoxGroup = selectSizeWindow.add("group");
checkBoxGroup.orientation = "row";
/* CHECKBOX NOTES */
// The checkbox is assigned to a variable to store the value to
// \u00A0 adds space between the checkbox and the label
// Add a checkbox to our check box group... XS
var isXS = checkBoxGroup.add('checkbox', undefined, "\u00A0XS");
// Add a checkbox to our check box group... S - M
var isSM = checkBoxGroup.add('checkbox', undefined, "\u00A0S - M");
// Add a checkbox to our check box group... L - XL
var isLXL = checkBoxGroup.add('checkbox', undefined, "\u00A0L - XL");
// Create a group for the UI
var buttons = selectSizeWindow.add("group")

buttons.add("button", undefined, "OK", {name: "ok"});
