InDesign CS3 package script

Question

Wanted to find a way to get this script, but after I Google'd this, it seems that it's not so easy to find. Can anyone help me with this? I need a script that makes a folder with job name and in the folder creates .indd, .inx, .pdf files that links and embeds fonts.

InDesign CS3 JS API exposes Document object method:

bool packageForPrint (to: File,
    copyingFonts: bool,
    copyingLinkedGraphics: bool,
    copyingProfiles: bool,
    updatingGraphics: bool,
    includingHiddenLayers: bool,
    ignorePreflightErrors: bool,
    creatingReport: bool
    [, versionComments: string]
    [, forceSave: bool=false])

This is programatically equivalent to the Package action. The same object also has method

void exportFile (format: varies,
    to: File
    [, showingOptions: bool=false]
    [, using: PDFExportPreset]
    [, versionComments: string]
    [, forceSave: bool=false])

which can be used to produce PDF, INX and other supported files types.
