Hi list,
No responses to my earlier post - so I tried to figure it out by
myself, but, I can't - so if any charitable soul is willing to lend
me a hand, I'd be most grateful.
The issue is, using PDF Services to print from Safari, how can I get
(clipboard, etc) the title of the pdf that was just printed. I
create folder actions to do it (reporting a file newly added and
returning its name) but its a clunky workaround.
From the ADC, I got some information (see below) on scripting PDF
Services, but I really couldn't understand exactly what application
is doing what. Hm. Looking at the attach to mail script provided by
Apple didn't enlighten me either. It has the handler:
on open these_items
...
end open
I suppose these_items is a list, right? I tried a number of
variations to get the name or properties, or anything from the first
item in the list - but nada, zero. I am beginning to feel very dumb.
What am I missing?
Cordially,
Mike

Folder or Folder Alias
A folder or folder alias triggers a copy action. The printing system
creates a PDF and then places the PDF into the folder or the resolved
folder alias provided. The name of the generated PDF file is the
document's title as specified by the printing application with a .pdf
extension. If there is a naming conflict, the name is made unique
within the folder by appending a serial number.
