ExtendScript Save PNG as JPEG without dialog

I've written a script in ExtendScript to process hundreds of image files. It works fine without any intervention if the original files are JPEGs. I however have started getting some PNG's. The script opens them fine and converts them to RGB. I set my JPEG save Options but when PS goes to save it brings up the Save As dialog box. Is there any way to avoid the dialog box?

My code:

var destFile = File(printFolder.fullName + "/" + doc.name);

var saveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions( ); 

saveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;

saveOptions.quality = 12;

saveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE; 

saveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE; 

    

doc.saveAs (destFile, saveOptions, false );

Have you tried adding this to your code:

app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;

    Try this out.

    function saveJPG(saveFile, jpegQuality) {
        saveFile = (saveFile instanceof File) ? saveFile : new File(saveFile);
        jpegQuality = jpegQuality || 7;
        var jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
        jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
        jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
        jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
        jpgSaveOptions.quality = jpegQuality;
        activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, jpgSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);
    }
