Re: Word to pages batch converter?
OK, I had never used the open handler so I needed to play a bit. It looks like it returns a list of files. I am not quite sure if the file items are themselves lists, but am working that out, it did appear that your repeat was not properly enclosing the logic. I am going to break it down to a couple more handlers and then give it a try So, I will have a SetPagesExtension handler that will take arguments and return a POSIX file object with proper name for the save. I will also create a handler that will just open the given file and save it. again. For testing purposes, I created a run handler on run set aList to the files of Window 1 of Application Finder whose name contains ".docx" repeat with anItem in aList set NewName to SetPagesType(anItem ) try OpenAndClose(anItem, NewName) on error say "something went wrong" end try end repeat end run Best wishes, Jonathan > On Sep 26, 2016, at 4:21 PM, Tim Kilburn <kilbu...@me.com> wrote: > > Hi Jonathan, > > Using the below Apple Script compiled as an application: > > on open filist > repeat with lvar in filist > tell application "Finder" > set thename to name of lvar > end tell > set x to the offset of "." in thename set nuname to > text 1 thru text item x of thename > set nuname to text 1 thru text item x of thename > tell application "Pages" > activate > set filname to (path to desktop folder as text) & > nuname & "pages" > open lvar > save document 1 in filname > close every window saving no > end tell > end repeat > end open > > I'm having frustrations.

Re: Word to pages batch converter?
Grant, Good thought, but the idea here is that we're trying to open a Word document and save it to Pages format. So, if one has a Word document, manually opens it in Pages, then chooses Save, the Save dialog will pop up and will be ready to save the document as a Pages document. The conversion was done on open so that Pages could properly display the Word document. This script automates the open then save process, but does not properly follow through with the save. I suspect that it does have something to do with it being a Word document, but running this script on a Pages document doesn't always do things correct either. I've even forced the save line to use the Pages format by adding "as Pages Format" to the line, still with no joy. Thanks for your ideas. Later...

Hi Jonathan, Using the below Apple Script compiled as an application: on open filist repeat with lvar in filist tell application "Finder" set thename to name of lvar end tell set x to the offset of "." in thename set nuname to text 1 thru text item x of thename set nuname to text 1 thru text item x of thename tell application "Pages" activate set filname to (path to desktop folder as text) & nuname & "pages" open lvar save document 1 in filname close every window saving no end tell end repeat end open I'm having frustrations. How this normally should work, is that you would drag and drop a Word file, or folder full of Word files on to my W2P app icon. The app would then open the Word file, get rid of the .docx extension, change it to a .pages extension then save the file on the Desktop. Doing this manually, everything works as it should. Using the app, though, Pages spins its wheels for a bit then returns an error. If I do the same action with a Pages document instead, then it works properly. I have played with a number of variations of this with no real good results as of yet. You, or anyone else is welcome to mess with it an d see if you can determine how to make it work properly.

Re: Word to pages batch converter?
I don't see a automator library for Pages, but certainly I would expect that the standard save action in AppleScript should work. The question is how would you want your batch processor to work probably the easiest would be to create a folder and then create a folder action AppleScript for that folder. A lot of us use the folder action script that announces when a new file is placed in the downloads folder, so I could see modifying this. How much interest is there in this? .
