Thanks Richard,
I have only tried to give back what has been so freely given to me:
The members of this list have always given me their time and patience
freely and with out limit.
Update on me:
I had to abandon a PDF project due to other work and have not been
able to finish it.
I have also abandoned a few other projects over the past year.
I am releasing a cross-platform iTunes Library to the members of this
list once I finish cleaning it up a bit. Uses Revolution, Applescript
and VBscript. Does a lot more than the standard play, pause stop. It
actually can search the iTunes store, Create playlists, etc. The new
version of iTunes broke a few things so I will try and clean them up
before releasing here.
I am working on a project for inclusion on the iPhone and am using
Revolution for the desktop prototype, very cool. I have created many
prototypes over the past year or so and all have been successful. I
just wish I had more time to work on my own projects (without losing
my job of course, grin).
I am working with mashups as well and look forward to the Rev on
Rockets tutorials coming up.
Thanks again,
Tom McGrath

Probably no use to you Richard as I believe this is for personal
use only as
it requires PDF2RTFService from Devon Systems:

So in Rev:
launch tFileName with "/yourHD/Applications/TextEdit.app"
the 8 line AppleScript looks like this:
1 tell application "TextEdit"
2 set theText to the text of document 1
3 make new document
4 set the path of document 1 to "/yourHD/Users/Shared/Untitled1.txt"
5 save document 1
6 close document 1
7 close document 1
8 end tell
Wonderful! That's actually exactly what I need, as this is just a
one-time tool for internal use only to help me build a textual index
of a collection PDF files. Thank you for the help -- much
appreciated.
I should also thank Tom McGrath, who kindly sent me a fully
functional Automator action to do that too. It runs well but only
in Leopard, and it simplifies what I need to do to be able to
generate the paths dynamically in Rev, so the AppleScript solution
is a better fit for this task. Just the same, Tom I very much
appreciate your taking the time to put that together. You've always
been such a very helpful member of this community.
