Hi Brett,

Have you tried something like...

set myApp to quoted form of POSIX path of (choose application)
set myFile to quoted form of POSIX path of (choose file)

do shell script ("open -a " & myApp & " " & myFile)

Mark

A few months back (if memory serves me correctly) someone was asking about
using AppleScript to drop a file onto a droplet. I'm now in need of such
code.

I have a PDF "Pre-Flight" droplet that I created from Acrobat 7 and I need
to have AppleScript drop a PDF (that the script just helped build) onto
this droplet. The results will be that the PDF is scanned and a log
report is produced. This is then read by AppleScript to look for errors.

I was hoping to launch the droplet then tell it to open a file but when
the droplet is launched without a PDF being dropped on it, it immediately
quits.

Any thoughts?

Cheers muchly,

Cojcolds
