I need a little applescript to open a password-protected pdf.
I can't figure out how to access the password text field.
The code I've got :
set elPdf to ("Path:to:my:file.pdf")
activate application "Preview"
tell application "Preview"
open elPdf
delay 1
tell application "System Events"
set value of text field 1 to "password"
keystroke return
end tell
end tell
Applescript is not finding the text/password field, even when I add "sheet 1" and "window 1"
How to I access the password field of a preview.app pdf with applescript?
I'd try to access password input via menu bar:
set myFolder to path to desktop as string
set myFile to myFolder & "trial.pdf"
tell application "Preview"
open myFile
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Preview"
tell menu bar 1
tell menu bar item "File"
tell menu "File"
click menu item 13
keystroke "34ue8XD5mM"
keystroke return
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
