(I’m certainly not saying competitors’ isn’t.) PDFPen development is quite active. PDFPenPro has OCR and form creation for those who need it.
Pdf expert app pdf#
Several other PDF apps support automation (e.g., PDFPenPro, Skim and Preview).Įven aside from Hook, I have been using and recommending Smile Software’s PDFPenPro for years (e.g., at CogZest). Fingers crossed.Īs it stands, however, as you’ve found, PDF expert is currently not a reliable context in which to link PDF documents to one’s digital life. They would need to be the ones to speak to their automation plans if any, of course. We haven’t had a specific commitment yet from Readdle that they will provide the bit of automation required for linking. Still, we’ll have another look at that UI scripting, but we can’t commit to this working. (I am also using dual monitors, but I don’t believe this is affecting things.)Īgreed. Then if I replace the Get Address script with the version in the Notability thread, the effect of invoking Hook is to close all open Path Finder windows! Clearly these scripts are not working as intended on my system, but this is probably due to the interaction with Path Finder. It is as if I had cut straight to “Show in Finder”.Ĭuriously, if I change “Finder” in the script to “Path Finder”, focus stays with PDFE on invoking Hook, and just a blank Hook window opens (no linkable items). When I open a document in PDF Expert and invoke Hook, focus switches to Path Finder and the file for the document I am looking at is revealed in its PF window. Currently I am using the one on this page, unchanged except for “delay 0.5”. I have tried applying both the script above and the one in the PDF Expert & Notability thread in the Get Address window. BUT, I have discovered some strange behaviour that may have a bearing.
Tried increasing delay to 0.5 with no effect.
