Negative Space: macOS Preview
- AppleScript Preview in Snow Leopard and Lion
- Preview supports AppleScript, but the support is turned off by default. You can enable it with three terminal commands.
- Create searchable PDFs in Swift
-
This Swift script will take a series of image scans, OCR them, and turn them into a PDF file with a simple table of contents and searchable content—with the original images as the visually readable content.
- Quality compressed PDFs in Mac OS X Lion
-
The instructions for creating a “reduce PDF file size” filter in Lion are the same as for earlier versions of Mac OS X—except that for some reason ColorSync saves the filter in the wrong place (or, I guess, Preview is looking for them in the wrong place).
- Quality reduced file size in Mac OS X Preview
-
You can use Quartz filters to reduce the size of your PDFs in Mac OS X while maintaining a high image quality.
