I'm using a third party application to copy an image to the clipboard. I would then like to perform an AppleScript that opens Preview, creates a New Document which will then use the clipboard as the content, then save this to a specified location.
I'm 99% of the way there - just can't get the document to save. I'm on OS X 10.9.5.
Here's my script so far:
set the save_location to the quoted form of "/Users/freddy/Documents/test.png"
tell application "Preview"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Preview"
keystroke "n" using {command down}
end tell
end tell
tell application "Preview"
activate
save front document as "PNG" in POSIX file save_location
end tell
I can't find the correct syntax for saving a Preview document. It will be the only document open at the time.
