- Thread-topic: Application name length
Our developers at work are beginning scripting Acrobat 7.0 on Mac OS X
10.3.9 and have noticed that the name of the application is getting changed
in script editor. They enter:
tell application "Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0.app"
do something
end tell
and when they compile, they receive
tell application "Adobe Acrobat Profess#681A6"
do something
end tell
Shortening the name of the application corrects this issue (the shortened
name stays as is) but I've already deployed Acrobat 7.0 on several other
machines and I want to avoid the workaround of having to change the app name
on these few machines.
Some questions:
1. Is this a limitation of Applescript itself or with Script Editor? If I
point my developers to something different, such as Smile, will the
application name compile correctly?
2. If we can't avoid this renaming, will this new "#681A6" name remain
constantly across all of my 10.3.9 machines?
3. Or am I missing something really obvious to avoid this?
Any insight is appreciated!
