Hi there,

I need to be able to open and print pdf files which were linked to the

records previously.

I use Troi file plugin to allow users to select the file from their hard

drive and

save it to a mapped shared network drive (so that every body can view/print

them)

and stamp the file name in the that record for latter viewing/printing.

I have accomplished both of this in windows using the Send Message script

but I not sure how to do it in the mac. I tried to use send apple script but

no luck.

It opens up the Adobe acrobat application but it does not open the pdf

(using the field values)

Also I have no idea how to print them in the mac.

I am sure many of you did this previously.

I would be very happy if you share your apple script with me and explain how

it works.

Thanks a lot,

Hameed

If you use the AppleScript Editor on the Mac, and make it record your actions, while copying/opening/printing the pdf, you might get usefull hints about which commands to use for your script. (Beware, however, a recording will contain a lot you really do not want to keep...)
