Title: Return PDF default reader

Hi all,

I am looking for a way to return the name of the default app that opens PDF’s (Preview, Acrobat, whatever).

Ronald Hofman kindly suggested the following:

set DefaultApp to (word -6 of (do shell script "defaults read
com.apple.Preview"))

Unfortunately, OMM it errors out with the following message: “sh: line 2: com.apple.Preview: command not found”

Any ideas ?

best,

j.
