In Chrome, if I do cmd+P to print, and click Print Using System Dialog, then click on the PDF dropdown button, I get a command called Save PDF to DEVONthink Pro.

In System Preferences > Keyboard > App Shortcuts, I created a shortcut named Save PDF to DEVONthink Pro. But pressing that keystroke has no effect.

How do can I call this command using a single keystroke?

  • You can do this using AppleScript + FastScripts. I could provide the code but I don't get where you have your drop-down button. Commented Feb 6, 2014 at 4:13
  • Hmm. When I Print using system dialog, then click on PDF, I get other options. Commented Feb 6, 2014 at 4:24
  • Ok I see. If no one answers this and if OP is patient, OP will get answer tomorrow :) Commented Feb 6, 2014 at 4:43

Here is the code :

tell application "Google Chrome"
    activate

    tell window 1 to tell active tab to print
    tell application "System Events" to tell process "Google Chrome"
        delay 1
        tell window "Print"
            click menu button "PDF"
            delay 1
            try
                click menu item # of menu of menu button "PDF"
            end try
        end tell
    end tell
end tell

Just replace the #with the index of your script in the menu. (FYI : 1 is Open PDF in Preview, 8 is Save PDF via Messages
