OK I see this:

====
on mouseUp
  answer file "Select a file:"
  if it is not empty then
    put it into tSrcPath
    put tPath & ".pdf" into tDestPath
    put "/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/convert" into tConvertApp
    get shell(tConvertApp && "-f" && tSrcPath && "-o" && tDestPath &&
"-j application/pdf")
  end if
end mouseUp

HTH,

I think I am missing some key elements such as what acceptable file formats are there for tSrcPath?

If the source data is plain ASCII but to be rendered in a different, foreign font with a char-to-glyph mapping other than plain roman...?

is that a .ps file in tSrcPath?

Has anyone done a small lib to export rev data (unadorned text will

Most of my in house RAD's involve some kind of document-text work.
I'm doing a stack now that handles translation and transliteration in
Tamil and English and to get a PDF I have to export XML, import into
inDesign and then export as PDF.


Is it all done on OS X? Because if so, you can use the convert shell
command. Ken Ray gave an example of how to do this on the list a while
ago: <http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-revolution/2005-March/ 053431.html>
