You can turn on the Plist property that provides some basic scriptability to
Preview. I do this, so that I can send files opened in Preview over to Skim
PDF reader.
Run this script in Script Editor:
tell application "Finder"
set the Preview_app to (application file id "com.apple.Preview") as alias
duplicate Preview_app
end tell
set the plist_filepath to the quoted form of ¬
((POSIX path of the Preview_app) & "Contents/Info")
do shell script "defaults write " & the plist_filepath & space ¬
& "NSAppleScriptEnabled -bool YES"
This works in Preview in Leopard. Duplicate your copy of Preview first, so
that you have a fallback in case something gets botched.
