PDF Services - I'm lost...

(reposting, something went wrong with my earlier mail...)


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.
