Hi,

it doesn’t work anyway because you’re trying to get the files of a literal string, not of a folder
this should work if the string path is a HFS path (colon separated


 set my pdfList to name of files of folder pdfPath

just do it the classical way


on applicationWillFinishLaunching_(aNotification)
		set pdfPath to (path to documents folder as text) & "EDV OCR:"
		tell application "Finder"
			set my pdfList to name of files of folder pdfPath -- it does work
		end tell
	end applicationWillFinishLaunching_

it must work, I tested it by logging the result

Of course you can send me the Xcode file.
If the PM does not support attaching files send me a mail then you get an answer (in german :wink: ) with the address

A tip for anyone emailing an Xcode project: Throw out the build folder first. It reduces the size dramatically, and gets rebuilt when the recipient opens the project.
