1. Re: Any way to rearrange Document Presets?
P Spier Jul 19, 2009 9:15 AM (in response to Kenneth Mitchell)Go to the define dialog and select them one at a time, then press the "save" button to store an external file. I think you can relaod them in the preferred order one by one (but I'd also do a group save, if you have a lot and it turns out this doesn't work -- you won't want to spend time putting them back one at a time if you can't get them ito a new order).

2. Re: Any way to rearrange Document Presets?
Mr. Met Jul 19, 2009 3:37 PM (in response to P Spier)Drives me nuts that I can't order any of my presets the way I work. PDF export, print, document setup.
I copied my PDF presets and imported to another machine and the names all came in (with brackets around each one - what's that about?) but every single preset defaulted to an identical setting. I had to open each one and redefine it. A big waste of time. I'm fairly certain I did what the manual says to do.

[Jongware] Jul 20, 2009 2:57 AM (in response to Kenneth Mitchell)A Dave Saunders script, clunky?
I had to search quite a bit, as the mentioned link is dead, but I found it at last on http://forums.adobe.com/thread/325291
Just in case this link goes dead as well, here is the script. I think it's a beaut -- it does the job, nothing more.
//DESCRIPTION: Sort Printer Presets // (c) 2006 An original Dave Saunders myPresets = app.printerPresets; myNames = myPresets.everyItem().name; myNames.shift(); // lose [Default] myNames.sort(lc); // sort remaining names for (j = 0; myNames.length > j; j++) { myPresets.item(myNames[j]).duplicate(); } for (j = myNames.length; j > 0; j--) { myPresets[1].remove(); } for (j = 0; myNames.length > j; j++) { myPresets[j+1].name = myNames[j]; } function lc(a,b){ a = a.toLowerCase(); b = b.toLowerCase(); if (a > b) { return 1 } if (b > a) { return -1 } return 0 } -

Kenneth Mitchell Jul 21, 2009 5:23 AM (in response to [Jongware])Thank you for digging for me. Unfortunately I'm a techno-moron and have no idea what to do with the script. As usual, I tried to wade into the pool and was quickly over my head.
Again, thanks for the extra effort. The shift-option-command option works so I'll stick to that for now.
