In the Debugger, I’m executing the script below using ‘open’ and passing in a PDF.
The thePDFDoc
var always ends up as missing value.
The debugger shows me the line before returns the URL with – file:///
appended
e.g.
(NSURL) Macintosh%20HD/Users/sphil/SomeDoc.pdf – file:///
Is this malformed? If yes, how do I get a well-formed URL?
If no, how do I prevent thePDFDoc from being ‘missing value’?
TIA
use scripting additions
use framework "Foundation"
on open these_items
local thePDFDoc
local this_file1
local this_file2
local this_file3
local this_path
local pdfURL
set this_file1 to item 1 of these_items
set this_file2 to (POSIX file this_file1) as text
set this_file3 to text 2 thru -1 of this_file2
set this_path to current application's NSString's stringWithString:this_file3
set pdfURL to current application's NSURL's fileURLWithPath:this_file2
set thePDFDoc to current application's PDFDocument's alloc()'s initWithURL:pdfURL
end open
