Hello all,

First off I am a newbie at this so, bear with me please.
I created this script to launch Adobe Professional and somewhere the logic is wrong and I can’t see what it is. Can anyone help?

Here is the script:

property targetFolder : "Mac HD:FolderX"

on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
	repeat with theFile in added_items
		if (name of file ends with "pdf") then
			tell application "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional"
				set theDocument to open theFile
				save theDocument to targetFolder & (word 1 of name of theFile) & ".eps" using EPS Conversion
			end tell
		else
			tell application "Finder" to delete theFile
		end if
	end repeat
end adding folder items to

Hi,

some errors:

¢ your index variable of the loop is theFile, but you’re using file, which is a reserved word
¢ only the Finder, System Events and info for know the name of a file, AppleScript itself doesn’t
¢ the folder path in the property line must end with a colon

try this


property targetFolder : "Mac HD:FolderX:"

on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
	repeat with theFile in added_items
		set {name:Nm, name extension:Ex} to info for theFile
		if Ex is "pdf" then
			tell application "Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional"
				set theDocument to open theFile
				save theDocument to targetFolder & (word 1 of Nm) & ".eps" using EPS Conversion
			end tell
		else
			tell application "Finder" to delete theFile
		end if
	end repeat
end adding folder items to
