A system agnostic approach would be to ask the user to select and copy the title to the clipboard, this way, you just need to check clipboarddata["text"] to get your title.
Unfortunately Rev's inter-app clipboard transferring ability is less than stellar. Sometimes accessing the data via script works, a lot of the times it doesn't, sometimes using keyboard short cuts work, sometimes they don't - using menu items to cut and paste work consistently. Again this is only referring to transferring clipboardData from other apps to Rev. Andre can you provide a little more info on pdf2html command line tools for OSX. I did a quick search of Man pages (using ManOpen) and the only reference that came up for pdf was snmpdf, which of course has nothing to do with pdfs. I did a search on google for OSX command line pdf tools and came up with commercial products: http://www.pdf-tools.com/asp/products.asp?name=CLS&type=shell selling for $360 a pop!!! If the tool already comes with OSX, how can I find out the command syntax and options? I currently use the free and excellent PDF2RTFService http://www.devon-technologies.com/products/freeware/services.html but I can't see anywhere how to access this via the command line. I work with lots and lots of pdf, but currently, because the clipboardData is unreliable, I work in two steps, I use Automator to open all the pdf files with TextEdit (PDF2RTFService taking care of the conversion process) and save them as plain text. Then I use Rev to open and read the files and do the real work.
