AppleScript调用PDF Redux打印插件失败问题及解决

尝试使用PDF Redux打印插件将Numbers文件导出为PDF时，原有AppleScript无法正常打开打印对话框中的PDF菜单并选中目标插件。

原脚本代码 #

tell application "System Events"
    tell process "Numbers"
        set frontmost to true
        
        keystroke "p" using {option down, command down}
        
        delay 2
        
        click menu item "PDF Redux" of menu button "PDF" of sheet 1 of window 1
    end tell
end tell

问题说明 #

原脚本无法在打印对话框中定位到PDF菜单按钮，导致执行失败。

修复后的脚本代码 #

通过调整UI元素的层级定位，修复后的代码如下：

perform action "AXShowMenu" of menu button 1 of group 2 of splitter group 1 of sheet 1 of window 1
click menu item 8 of menu 1 of menu button 1 of group 2 of splitter group 1 of sheet 1 of window 1
