AppleScript: Use Numbers.app to create PDF files from a BBEdit TSV file

[Alfredo]

Greetings, AppleScript Gurus:

I would like to producea a batch of PDF files, each customized for a given addressee.

I can create a TSV file with BBEdit that contains one customized line per addresee.

I would assume I can use an AppleScript to feed each line of this TSV file to a template in Numbers.app to produce the batch of PDF documents.

I have no idea about creating such an AppleScript and I'm eager to learn.

Thanks very much for any guidance.

Alfredo

Unless you have a specific need for your output to be in Numbers, try the mail merge feature in Pages.

I think you can use your tsv file directly in Pages. If not, Numbers will open tsv files as if they were spreadsheet files.

Thanks for the advice, Johnny.

I'll pursue this direction.
