PDF U 1.0

PDF U is a utility that allows users to quickly turn on the PDF Services menu that Apple has hidden in the OS 10.2 print dialog boxes. Normally, users must go to a special folder on the system, create a folder called "PDF Services" and then add AppleScript scripts. PDF U automates this procedure and provides a few scripts to get things started. PDF U is DonationWare and requires Mac OS X 10.2 or higher.

Apple: Safari Beta II Script Collection

Apple has updated their Safari script collection with scripts that take advantage of features found in the most recent beta release of Safari. Some of the scripts also take advantage of Apple's UI Scripting beta software. For instance, one of the UI scripts will combine the open browser windows into a single tabbed window.

Apple: Safari, AppleScript and JavaScript

As noted yesterday, the latest version of Safari includes the 'do JavaScript' command in its AppleScript dictionary. By using the command, users can create AppleScript scripts that interact with the Safari JavaScript DOM (Document Object Model). Apple provides sample scripts along with links to Safari Developer FAQ, Safari JavaScript DOM Part 1 and Safari JavaScript DOM Part 2.

QuickTime Broadcaster 1.0.1 available via Software Update

QuickTime Broadcaster is Apple's scriptable live encoding software that lets users produce live events for online delivery. Sample scripts are available from Apple to demonstrate the use of a qualified Bluetooth cell phone and Sony Ericisson Clicker to remotely control Broadcaster. Version 1.0.1 provides improvements to live broadcast recording and streaming as well as UI enhancements. Update: It appears that this version was likely released prior to today, indicating that Software Update might have suffered from a brain fart on my machine.

iPhoto Library Manager is a fully AppleScriptable application that allows users to split photos up into any number of separate libraries, share a common photo library with multiple users, store them on any disk connected to the computer, and easily switch back and forth between them. Mac OS X 10.1.2 or higher and iPhoto 1.x or 2.0 are required. Among the many changes in this release is the inclusion of sample AppleScript scripts.
