Help! 'Package for Print' Script

Question

Hi all,
I have a specific 'Package For Print' script, that needs a small modification, and and I was hoping someone could help me.
Essentially, I need to OMIT 'Include PDF' option when packaging, since this makes things a bit wonky on my script (see below).
Let me know if you need to see the script, and I'll post it.
Thank you.

Here you go, and thank you. I know notes are also included in it. Sorry about this.
