Yes . . .there are System Events calls and is using GUI scripting. I didn't think putting in the whole script was necessary. What I'm trying to do is just replace Save with Save as and append to the name so it's still an automatic save back to the original location rather than saving over the original file.
The original file is a PDF containing the scanned image and the original code saves the OCR'ed version replacing the original file. I tend to throw very few files away . . .hence was trying to keep the automatic save but change the name. If the only way to do it is to change the path and keep the original name I'll do that . .but dumping file_OCR back into the same directory as file would be fine.
Joe's script deliberately uses GUI Scripting and includes a bunch of code to work with various versions of Acrobat . . . it's just that I'm not enough of a scripter to figure out how to easily do that.
