That is certainly an option, but I'm trying to script everything from Python and so having to popen a call to ssh to login and start preview is pretty heavy compared to sending a simple applescript event.

Why not just ssh in and run "open /Applications/Preview.app" ?

(BTW, you can make Preview AppleScriptable by following directions here http://www.macworld.com/article/53391/2006/10/previewscript.html)

The AppleScript Language Guide states that one of the four requirements for doing remote applescript is "If the specified remote application is not running, you must run it."

I'm wondering if the above error occurs because Preview is not AppleScriptable.
