Noobie Mistake? Export to pdf InDesign Server CS3

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to export my open document on InDesign Server CS3 to pdf, but it isn't working.
I can open, make changes and save, but when it comes to exporting it gives an error:
"An exception occurred when executing a COM method.
The cause of this exception was that: AutomationException: 0x0 - The specified object does not support the desired export format. in 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3 Server\InDesignServer.exe'."
Here is my code below. I've tried the export code for pdf with inverted comma's as well, no luck. All the sample scripts do it in this fashion, am I missing something?
Any help much appreciated.
myInDesignServer = CreateObject("COM", "InDesignServer.Application.CS3");
myDocument = myInDesignServer.Open("C:\artwork\my_file.indd");
myDocument.Export(1952403524, "C:\artwork\my_pdf.pdf");
myDocument.close();

Hello Brett,
I have done some COM programming with IndesignServer CS3 using C#, here is is the way I do a pdf export:
doc.Export(idExportFormat.idPDFType, @"C:\indesignTestFile.pdf", false, "[High Quality Print]", "Some Comment", true);
Notice the first argument: the enumeration which specifies the file type and the fourth argument which is the name of an Adobe Pdf Preset. This particular preset should already be installed on your CS3 server. You cant export to a pdf without using an export preset.
I hope this was helpful, Im no expert myself.
