Hmm... that sounds a whole lot easier :)

Since you have to open the print dialog first, I assigned it to "Cmd-P". This way I can press Cmd-P twice. Seems to work ok in different apps.

There was a thread on this list about automating the "Save as PDF" option available in the print dialog of all applications. I original poster suggested maybe using GUI Scripting which is how I did it. But there were some difficult challenges such as selecting the sub-item of the menu button and working with sheets as well as dialogs.


The latest issue of Macworld shows how to assign a keyboard shortcut to items in the PDF popup if you are running Leopard. Basically, you add one for all applications in the keyboard preference, and make sure to list the item name as it appears in the popup.
