Howdy. I have an AppleScript that uses Skim to rename a PDF based on the PDF's
content. Part of that script goes like this:
tell application "Skim"
open theFile
tell document 1
tell page 1--
sometimes I get an error here
set
pdftext to (get text for) as string
end tell
end tell
quit
end tell
("theFile" is a file on the disk, full path supplied).
The strange part is, sometimes I get an error when I try to save this script. I
get this message, with the "1" after "tell page" highlighted:
Syntax Error. Expected end of line but found number.
The script compiles fine but every so often, if I'm in the script trying to
improve things-- even if all I do is delete a line and retype it-- I get that
"Syntax Error. Expected end of line but found number."
My work-around has been to change the first line to say something like this:
tell application "adlsasdfasdf"
so then when I compile they ask me where's that app, and I can point to Skim,
and then it compiles perfectly… but when I try to SAVE the script I get the
Syntax Error again.
But sometimes, for some reason, it all works fine.
I checked the box to open Skim in 32-bit mode and it seemed to help… but I'm
not sure it's really solved. Is it a bug, or maybe just some scripting
extension in my system here?
