Can't get a PDF view and a text view in the same window...

Scripting Forums AppleScript Studio & Xcode

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to write a simple program that will display a PDF while I type notes into a text view in the same window.

This will not be a commercial app, so I tried to just add a text view to PDFView and PDFKitViewer, but they both choke as soon as I give the text view an AS name (they work in the app prior to that).

If anyone can help me get this ironed out, I would really appreciate it. I tried digging around, but for moths now typing “PDF” in the search field on this site has returned 0 hits. Strange…

Thanks a lot!

Doug.app,

I will look into this. I might have a use for this on a project I am working on too.

If you search for the word “PDF” only in the search block it will return no result because:
Searches are not case sensitive. Short words are ignored, the default minimum length is 4 characters.

Try searching for something like “PDF window”

Has anyone used a solution to this yet?

I need to copy text out of a PDF (with selectable text, of course), then paste it into a text view to manipulate it. I’m currently using a key macro to copy, alt-tab into TextEdit, and paste…

I’d rather write something to let me keep this all in one window (not to mention be able to build on it with more scripting).

Thanks a lot,

Doug

Long-distance bump…

I’m still working on this. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
