The trouble is that Bento insists the database be located in my Application Preferences/Bento folder so it is a pain to drill to it and copy it over to my iDisk. Since I'm only using one machine at a time, and the address and iCal data is already synced, it works fine if I just copy the database file between computers when switching. My database application, Bento, does not sync. By the way, did you know that command-shift-n gets you a new folder? I named mine "OCR Drop." Step 5 - Enable folder actions Secondary click on the folder and enable folder actions under the "More" item.Īs I continue my attempts to synchronize using two Macs I have run into a wrinkle. Perhaps in your documents folder or (for you anarchists) on the desktop. Step 3 - Save the script You need to save it to a specific directory: HD/Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts/ I named mine "PDFpen Scriptacular" Step 4 - Create a folder Save the folder wherever is convenient. If anyone knows a better way to post applescript via wordpress, please drop me a note. Although I fixed it in the wordpress code, it still reverts to "fixing" things when I publish so you'll have to correct those in your editor. Note 2 - Wordpress seems to have converted the double dash before the comment in to an em-dash and the quotes to smart quotes. Step 2 - Copy in the below script on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items try repeat with i from 1 to number of items in added_items set this_item to item i of added_items tell application "PDFpenPro" open this_item set theDoc to document 1 repeat with aPage in pages of theDoc ocr aPage - Looks like we need to modify PDFpen so that we can detect when OCR is done for now use 15 seconds delay 15 end repeat save theDoc close theDoc end tell end repeat on error errText display dialog "Error: " & errText end try end adding folder items to - Note - if you use PDFpenPro instead of PDFpen, you'll need to open the script and edit the command that reads "tell application "PDFpen" to read "tell application "PDFpenPro".


This little application allows you to create and save AppleScripts.
