Automate e-mail Pdf of list

Automation OmniFocus Automation
#1

Hi everyone,

I am a real newbie to Applscript but I think that is the only way to go for the automation I am looking for. What I would want is to automate an e-mail pdf from a list to certain people. Lets say I have a ‘project’ called ‘Open Tasks’ and I want that to be mailed weekly to a few people (in PDF). Really hope someone can help me on this one.

Thank you!

Kind regards,

Mark

Here is the core of what you need - edit all the variables & set it up to run on a schedule using launchd or Lingon (GUI for launchd).

tell application "OmniFocus"
	tell document 1
		tell document window 1
			set perspective name to "Open Tasks"
		end tell
		print with properties {target file:POSIX file "/Users/username/Desktop/test.pdf"}
	end tell
end tell

tell application "Mail"
	set m to make new outgoing message
	tell m
		make new to recipient with properties {name:"someone", address:"someone@somedomain.com"}
		make new attachment with properties {file name:POSIX file "/Users/username/Desktop/test.pdf"}
    send
	end tell
end tell
