Open attachment with PDFpen not working

[lostinasia]

In Bookends, when I try to open an attachment with PDFpen, it doesn't seem to work properly. The app PDFpen opens, but with no document; the PDF itself doesn't open in that app.

"Open in ... Preview" works fine.

Perhaps this is because I'm using a fairly old PDFpen (5.9.9), but is there something else I should do to make this work?

Thanks!

PDFpen 5.9.9 works for me. Version 9.x doesn't work, though, they probably changed their AppleScript suite. I'll take a look and see if there's anything I can do.

They did indeed change their AppleScript code (probably a bug fix) and the workaround we used to use to get the PDF to open with PDFPen no longer works. I'll fix this in the next Bookends update.

Note that the fix works with PDFPen 10 (and probably 9.x). It no longer works with the 5.5.9 version I have. So you'll probably have to update your copy of PDFPen for this to work for you (try the Bookends update when it's out to see if it works or not with your 5.5.9).

Oops, sorry about the delayed reply - forgot to check in.

Thanks for the suggestions; actually, it's less of a problem than I realized - Bookends' own PDF reader is a lot better than I realized. I'm not sure if I just didn't figure it out before, or if it's been improved - or more likely a combination of the two.
