[JS] [CS3] Saving to PDF with restricted printing "PRINT128LOWRESOLUTION"

Question

Hi All,
This is my first JavaScript. Trying to create a script which will save the active illustrator document to PDF with the following:
a) sets permission password
b) restricts printing to "Low resolution" only.
I was able to get the script to do everything, except restricting printing to "Low resolution". Though i have set it to low resolution (PDFPrintAllowedEnum.PRINT128LOWRESOLUTION), it seems, illustrator ignores this statement, and set it to "high resolution" (PRINT128HIGHRESOLUTION).
See my code below:
var curDoc = app.activeDocument;
var destName = "~/Desktop/Testpassword1.pdf";
saveFileToPDF(destName);
function saveFileToPDF (dest) {
var doc = app.activeDocument;
if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
var saveName = new File ( dest );
saveOpts = new PDFSaveOptions();
saveOpts.requirePermissionPassword = true;
saveOpts.permissionPassword = "test1";
saveOpts.pDFAllowPrinting = PDFPrintAllowedEnum.PRINT128LOWRESOLUTION;
doc.saveAs( saveName, saveOpts );
Any advise will be much appreciated.

Hi
I see the same thing with Reader, seems they've chosen to restrict it in that fashion.
Preview works ok, but sure, doesn't open some pdf's.
