I ask because it seems that you've just reproduced an excerpt of
the original one, and the basic cause of your problem (the file
names) may be somewhere else.
Moreover, which version of Mail.app are you running?
Hi Axel,
The script example is on page 12
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Printing/Conceptual/PDF_Workflow/PDF_Workflow.pdf
I'm using Mail 3.5, OSX 10.5.5
Hello Joe,
Thanks for the info, as I now grasp the context (I was wondering where
the argument of the on open handler was supposed to come from).
In my case, the spool file always seems to be named accordingly to the
file being printed; for example, when printing the first page of
"PDF_Workflow.pdf", the spool file is named "PDF_Workflow.pdf.pdf" as
expected.
I'm thus not encountering such a generic name ("Print Job.PDF").
Anyway, your attempt should have been working, once a slight typo
corrected:
set name of aFile to x & ".pdf"
instead of:
set name of aFile to y & ".pdf"
On the other hand, perhaps could you let the user choose a file name,
instead of using the frontmost process' name (unless I'm wrong, a
print job may sometimes end with multiple files), for example:
on open these_items
tell application "Mail"
activate
tell (make new outgoing message)
set visible to true
repeat with aFile in these_items
tell application "Finder" to get name of aFile
display dialog "If needed, enter a new name for file " & result &
":" default answer result buttons {"OK"} default button {"OK"}
tell application "Finder" to set name of aFile to text returned of
result
make new attachment with properties {file name:aFile} at end of
content
end repeat
end tell
end tell
end open
HTH,
Axel _______________________________________________
