Greetings to all who can help

What I would like to do is create an Apple Script on a specified computer which has a printer hooked up to it. We create new PDF's every 5 minutes. Each PDF then needs opened in Acrobate and printed to the Epson. Nothing special needs to be done to the file.

So my script should be something along the lines of

Open from rip/out

Print to Epson

It has to open in acrobat, or the epson wont scale it to the paper size, (epson issue) Any time a PDF is dropped into this specified folder, it should print automatically with out running anything.

Thank you!

Try

property theFile : ""

on idle

if theFile = "" then

set theFile to choose file

end if

tell application "Acrobat 5.0"

open theFile

print pages document 1

close document 1

end tell

return 300

end idle

as a starting point. You will need to save the script as an application and mark the Stay Open option. Happy scripting...
