Here's a nice tip I've just come across for MacOS 10.2.4 (although I get the impression that this has been possible in previous versions of 10.2 as well):
Create a folder called "PDF Services" in the Library folder in either your Home folder or the Main Directory. The next time you go to print something, you will than see that the "Preview" and "Save as PDF..." buttons on the Print Dialog change to icons, and the "Save as PDF..." icon has a pop-up menu attached to it. You can then place various objects in the PDF Services folder you just created, and have them honoured in this pop-up menu: you can place applications,applications, folders, Applescripts or UNIX tools, or aliases to these. For example, placing an alias of your Desktop folder there gives you a menu item "Desktop", and when selected causes the PDF file to be saved onto your desktop. For more information (and a screenshot), visit <http://www.apple.com/applescript/print/>. -- Peter Hinchliffe Apwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, :::::::::::::::::::::::: Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482 Fax (618) 9332 0913 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to.
