I am trying to script Acrobat so that I can save a document as a new file name. What commands should I give Acrobat to do this?
So far, I have been able to get the current url from Safari, switch to Acrobat. Select the Download webpage menu item, fill in the url from Safari, and begin downloading. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to coerce Acrobat into saving this new file to disk.
I’ve tried various methods such as:
save to "Mac OS X":Users:joris:Desktop:new.pdf"
or
do script "myDoc.saveas(myDoc.path)
or
set newFile to choose file name with prompt "Provide a new name and select a location for " & theDocTitle & " :"
save to newFile
as well as trying GUI scripting -- nothing happens :(
Hmm. This should work but is causing me errors at the moment (it is saving the document but with a string of numbers as the name in my temporary items folder):
By the way, what version of Acrobat are you using?
I tried your code, but Applescript Editor (2.0 Beta) comes back saying that it found a class name instead of an expected end of line. When I take out ‘file specification’, the script doesn’t return an error, but it also doesn’t save a new file to the desktop.
I am having the exact same problem though I am using OS 9. I am using the code specified in the previous thread message but I still get no file. Has anyone solved this problem?
