Convert Main Output File to PDF

Depending if the current script's main output file is a QuarkXPress or an InDesign file, this menu item will call the corresponding menu item of either the QuarkXPress menu or the InDesign menu.

Update list of PDF presets

Launches InDesign to get an updated list of the PDF export presets that are then used when exporting an InDesign file to PDF. Only applies to InDesign.
