A variation on the previous method

Your script worked perfectly! This forum saved my bacon years ago, and again today

Thanks Andy, Klaus!

Hi again I tried again with a known, valid .pdf. The following returns "can't open file": put specialfolderpath("desktop") & "/" into tTargetFolder put "http://www.africau.edu/images/default/sample.pdf" into tSourceFolder put url(tSourceFolder) into url("binfile:" & tTargetfolder) answer the result ...

Ok, seems the server is funky in the way it's handling the pdfs. When you go to https://websever.com/1 or https://websever.com/1.pdf in a browser, a pdf loads. But when I run your code, it creates an empty pdf. The error I get when I try to open it in Preview is "The file “2.pdf” could not be opened...

HI Gerry,

welcome back!

Thanks, but it's not for long

And thanks for your help. It's amazing what you forget in such a short time

I used to be a LiveCode developer but I've been away from the platform for a few years. I have 524 pdf files on a web server, at http://webserver.com/1 to http://webserver.com/524. I want a script that will download them all to a folder on my desktop (one at a time is fine, and it doesn't have to be...

Neil, can you give us an update on this?

Gerry

iOS 7 and iOS 8 both have support from some non-retina devices (ipad min and ipad2), so restricting iOS version will not give full control over whether the device is retina or not. I should have been clearer: retina small screen devices. My app can't run on iPhone 3, 3GS or older iPod touch. People...

Neil What if I need to restrict my app to retina devices? 6.1 compatible apps can run on non-retina devices. It's late February. Apple required 64-bit binaries from 1 February. How much longer will we have to wait? I'm lucky that with my current project I'm not losing money, just my reputation. Gerry

That mentions nothing about 6.7.2 rc 2. Many of us are not on the 7.x series yet.

Gerry

Drives me nuts that RunRev apparently didn't test 64 bit apps against the app store. They should have an app that they submit updates to for every new LC version. I've now been waiting since the beginning of the month to submit an app. Ridiculous.

Gerry

It's been confirmed as a bug.
