I want to write two different scripts - one is to select a different printer - the other is to print - save as pdf.
I’ve gotten this far (with help looking through the forum):
tell application “Microsoft Excel” to activate
tell application “System Events”
tell application process “Microsoft Excel”
tell menu bar 1
tell menu “File”
click
click menu item “Print…”
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
This gets me with an open printer dialog box - how do I select the “Printer” pop up button and then select a different printer, or alternatively how do I select the “Save as PDF” button.
— Thanks - though I am trying to select “Save As PDF…” . I downloaded a copy of ES and have been playing with it - wihout success. Any ideas?
Thanks
Richard
