InDesign script Transparency Flattener

[Michael382280199icf]

I am creating a script that allows the user to export PDFs with the preset built into the script (this ensures users do not use the wrong preset, and bypasses exporting PDFs as background tasks). The issue I am having is with the transparency flattener setting. This is required for my PDFs, but I can not figure out how make the script set the flattener to HIGH.

Here are the settings in my code:

prefs.acrobatCompatibility = AcrobatCompatibility.ACROBAT_4;

prefs.transparencyFlattenerSettings = app.flattenerPresets.itemByName("[High Resolution]");

}

prefs.pageRange = PageRange.ALL_PAGES;

prefs.exportReaderSpreads = exportSpreads;

prefs.optimizePDF = true;

prefs.colorBitmapCompression = BitmapCompression.JPEG;

prefs.colorBitmapQuality = CompressionQuality.HIGH;

prefs.grayscaleBitmapCompression = BitmapCompression.JPEG;

prefs.grayscaleBitmapQuality = CompressionQuality.HIGH;

prefs.monochromeBitmapCompression = BitmapCompression.NONE;

prefs.compressTextAndLineArt = true;

prefs.cropImagesToFrames = true;

prefs.cropMarks = true;

prefs.bleedMarks = false;

prefs.colorBars = false;

prefs.pageInformationMarks = true;

prefs.useDocumentBleedWithPDF = false;

if (type === "Interior") {

prefs.bleedTop = 72; // 1.00"

prefs.bleedBottom = 18; // 0.25"

prefs.bleedInside = 18;

prefs.bleedOutside = 18;
