AppleScript to save a message as pdf is not working properly

For use in other programs (like Filemaker) we like to have every message (incoming and outgoing) available as a pdf.

In appleScript this can be automated using the "print" command from the Outlook AppleScript Dictionary.

The properties to be associated with this command are "as pdf:true" and "path name: URL to the destination file".

One would expect that this would save the current message as a pdf on a predefined location (e.g. a folder on the Desktop), but this is not working.

For the sake to completeness, here is the basic script as an example:

tell application "Microsoft Outlook"

set myMessage to item 1 of (get current messages)

tell myMessage

print myMessage with properties {as pdf:true, path name:"file:///MAC HD/Users/BDJ/Desktop/FMTemp/test.pdf"}

end tell

Unfortunately, this script is sending the message to the default printer (our office printer) and we get a printed copy.

Is there anyone who can clarify?

Is it a mistake in the script, or is there a problem with this command?

Thank you.

Bernard.
