| Hi everyone,
Problem solved! No need now Alex, thanks everyone. :-)
After hunting around the net I came across the instructions how to use a standard command line tool that comes with Mac OS X called 'pstopdf'.
wow this was so easy in the end :-)
After doing a do shell script "man pstopdf' I was ready to go:
Here we go a almighty 20 lines of code:
global theWatchedFolders property theWatchedFolders : {"Boot:Users:richardlake:Downloads:"} on idle try tell application "Finder" repeat with y from 1 to count of items in theWatchedFolders set theDetectedItems to every item of (item y of theWatchedFolders as alias) if theDetectedItems is not equal to {} then repeat with x from 1 to (count of items in theDetectedItems) if (item x of theDetectedItems as string) ends with ".eps" then do shell script "pstopdf " & the POSIX path of (item x of theDetectedItems as alias) delete item x of theDetectedItems as alias end if end repeat end if end repeat end tell return 1 end try end idle |
