Subject:Save as EPS - with an Applescript-droplet?

In my daily work, I open PDF's and "save as EPS" a quadrillion times a day. (I do this to get singlepage-EPS's and use in Quark).
Now; if only I could drop a PDF on an applescript-droplet that opened the file in Acrobat 7.0 Pro and created a folder next to the PDF and filled that with the resulting EPS's. But, alas, even though I've scripted quite a few applescripts for Finder and Quark, I CANNOT get Acrobat to do what I want... I've managed to get it to save a normal PDF at a preferred location and with a specific name, but not with the "using EPS Conversion" attachment... Nothing happens!?!

Like this:
save to file "System:Users:wolle:Desktop:test" using EPS Conversion

Maybe there's a way to call a PDF-javascript from applescript?

Help!? :-)
