Hi All,

I need to select(copy) ".pdf" files and paste into selected folder.

Using Mac.

var file = File.openDialog("Please choose PDF", "PDF:*.pdf");

var destinationFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select Paste Folder");

Could anyone help on this.

Thanks in advance

Try this, (tested in windows not Mac)

var file = File.openDialog("Please choose PDF", "PDF:*.pdf");

var destinationFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select Paste Folder");

var target = File(destinationFolder + "/" + file.name);

file.copy(target);

Hi vandy,

Thanks for your response. Its works like a charm...

I tuned the above coding for copy folder and paste in the selected folder.

But it should be fail.

var file = Folder.selectDialog("Select Copy Folder");
var destinationFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select Paste Folder");
var target = File(destinationFolder + "/" + file.name);
file.copy(target);

Could you please help for the request.

Thanks in advance

May be something like this, I haven't tested it

var file = Folder.selectDialog("Select Copy Folder");  

var destinationFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select Paste Folder");  

file.copy(destinationFolder);
