Pages with apple script.
I need to force Pages to save document in PDF format at the moment
when you save it as a native Pages document. Normally user have to
save it (as a native pages document) and then pick up "File -> Export
... -> PDF -> Next.. -> Export" to have pdf copy as well. I need to
save these clicks (exporting to pdf) in term of faster workflow.
Download this ...
It is a virtual printer that creates a pdf document instead of a paper document. Using it requires a minimum of GUI scripting. You will need to change the printer, like this ...
-- set printer to CUPS-PDF tell application "Printer Setup Utility" set currentPrinter to (current printer) try set current printer to printer "CUPS-PDF" on error error "CUPS-PDF is not installed." end try end tell
-- restore Printer tell application "Printer Setup Utility" set current printer to currentPrinter quit end tell
Hello Luther
Triggering a script whose unique task is to save in a PDF doesn't solve the original question which was to do the save as Pages document and save as PDF in a single call.
In fact, the OP described the long path which allow us to set the quality level which can't be done thru the CUPS scheme.
The short scheme is to call "Print" then select PDF > print in a PDF file. This one doesn't allow us to set the quality level.
This is why I posted two scripts.
The first one save as native Pages format thru the normal Save command then trigger the Export > PDF > quality Level > Go thru GUI scripting. The second one save as native Pages format thru the normal Save command then tSave as PDF thru the normal Save command with the optional parameter defining the format.
