So got some help here months ago and had a great working set of scripts attached to folders and everything was converting and working perfectly on a weekly basis. Then for some reason this week stuff just stopped working without me changing a thing. When files are sent to the folders with Carbon Copy Cloner, Numbers opens, starts a conversion, the progress bar hits 100% and then nothing happens. No file is saved out, the original is not deleted from the conversion folder and the process does not finish and close the folder/app. Can anyone help me out as to what has changed/broken? Script is below.

on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items

repeat with this_file in added_items

tell application "Finder"

set theInfo to properties of this_file

set theName to name of theInfo

set theName to (characters 1 through -9) of theName as text

set thePath to "Macintosh HD:Users:jt😀ropbox:Students:16-17 Students:Mustapha, Curran😛arents Stipend:" as string

end tell



tell application "Numbers"

activate

open this_file

set thisDoc to document 1

export thisDoc to file (thePath & theName & ".pdf" as string) as PDF

quit

end tell





tell application "Finder"

delete this_file

end tell



end repeat

end adding folder items to
