I was curious about this and copied this text with correct line break into a button in a new stack and and threw up a blank text field and hit the button and nothing happened. What else am I missing to test this?
Thanks Tom

Here's a way from our friends over at the SuperCard list (modified for Rev use, of course)... seems to work for text files and images (watch the line breaks):
on mouseUp answer file "Select a file:" if it <> "" 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 2>&1") end if end mouseUp
If you check the results from the shell() it may have error messages in it, but it seems to still create the PDF.

OS X has a "Save as PDF" option in the print dialog. Does anyone know of a way to automate this, so a script could save a printout as a PDF? Or is there any other way to create a PDF?
