Can anyone please help me find a solution for the error I'm getting? MacOS is Monterrey and this script used to work in Big Sur. It seems it is unable to find splitter group 3 (which would the page style). And the same happens when it tries to find "PDF" splitter and save as PDF. I would appreciate any help/suggestions you can provide. -- Don't change this set FixedPassword to "somePW" --Change the following for each Review accordingly set exam to "2" set session to "5" set VarPassword to "anotherPW" set outpath to "/Users/user/Dropbox/Physics" & " - " & "Current/2023-1-Spring/UF/2." & " " & "Chapter" & " " & "Reviews/" & ¬ "Exam" & " " & exam & " " & "Session" & " " & session & "/E" & exam & "S" & session & ".pdf" set SaveFolder to "/Users/user/Dropbox/Physics" & " - " & "Current/2023-1-Spring/UF/2." & " " & "Chapter" & " " & "Reviews/" & ¬ "Exam" & " " & exam & " " & "Session" & " " & session set FileName to "E" & exam & "S" & session & " " & "(Password" & " - " & VarPassword & ").pdf" --Saving PDF with password protection tell application "Preview" activate open outpath end tell activate application "Preview" tell application "System Events" tell process "Preview" keystroke "p" using command down delay 0.5 tell front window repeat until exists sheet 1 delay 1 end repeat tell sheet 1 tell splitter group 3 click pop up button 3 click menu item "Review 216 by 279 mm" of menu 1 of pop up button 3 end tell tell splitter group 3 click menu button "PDF" repeat until exists menu 1 of menu button "PDF" delay 3 end repeat click menu item "Save as PDF" of menu 1 of menu button "PDF" end tell end tell end tell -- Make sure the save dialog is visible repeat until exists sheet 1 of sheet 1 of front window delay 5 end repeat tell sheet 1 of sheet 1 of front window click button "Security Options..." end tell tell window "PDF Security Options" set selected to true set focused to true (* click the checkbox to on *) -- NOTE: for some reason there is a delay of about 6 seconds here, I do not know why tell checkbox "Require password to open document" click end tell (* add the password and confirm *) keystroke VarPassword keystroke (ASCII character 9) keystroke VarPassword tell its checkbox "Require password to copy text, images and other content" click end tell (* add the password and confirm *) keystroke FixedPassword keystroke (ASCII character 9) keystroke FixedPassword click button "OK" end tell repeat until exists sheet 1 of sheet 1 of front window delay 0.2 end repeat -- Press command+shift+g to show the "Go" drop down sheet keystroke "g" using {command down, shift down} repeat until exists sheet of sheet 1 of sheet 1 of front window delay 0.2 end repeat delay 0.5 keystroke SaveFolder delay 0.5 click button "Go" of sheet of sheet 1 of sheet 1 of front window -- Now that we are in our desired folder, set the file name and save set value of text field 1 of sheet 1 of sheet 1 of front window to FileName click button "Save" of sheet 1 of sheet 1 of front window end tell end tell But it gives the following error:
