Thanks for the advice, Johnny.

I'll pursue this direction.

Re: AppleScript: Use Numbers.app to create PDF files from a BBEdit TSV file

Unless you have a specific need for your output to be in Numbers, try the 
mail merge feature in Pages.

I think you can use your tsv file directly in Pages. If not, Numbers will 
open tsv files as if they were spreadsheet files.

AppleScript: Use Numbers.app to create PDF files from a BBEdit TSV file

[Alfredo]

Greetings, AppleScript Gurus:

I would like to producea a batch of PDF files, each customized for a given 
addressee.

I can create a TSV file with BBEdit that contains one customized line per 
addresee.

I would assume I can use an AppleScript to feed each line of this TSV file 
to a template in Numbers.app to produce the batch of PDF documents.

I have no idea about creating such an AppleScript and I'm eager to learn.

Thanks very much for any guidance.
