I have 2 scripts that I use ALOT. I usually run one right after the other. One turns my illustrator project into the smallest pdf for ease of emailing. Then I run the second one and add the words PRINT before the extension which is high quality with crop marks and bleeds if necessary. Is there a way to combine the 2 into 1 script that will do both?
