menu)
end tell
end tell
I changed all the named references to index references so the
language differences should not be an issue. Although Preview is
named, so that could be an issue....
I was also unable to perform any actions on the PDF button/menu; it
is definitely non-standard from a scripting point of view. As a
result the above script drops out to Preview to handle the saving.
Not as clean as doing it from within a single application, but it
meets the requirements of not using anything other than what's
available in 10.4, Rb, and Word 2004.

Here's a script that ought to work but on my system I still get
the previously mentioned error on the "click" line. Can anyone
test this:
tell application "System Events"
tell process "TextEdit"
set frontmost to true
click menu item "Print..." of menu "File" of menu bar 1 -- three
full stops after "Print"
The Print... should be an ellipsis. Not sure what is wrong with the
PDF button part though. I didn't take the time to try and track
that one down. That one is the tricky one if I remember correctly.
