How do I get the path of a document open in Preview using AppleScript?

applescript

Solution

I did a little research and found this

 tell application "System Events"
    tell process "Preview"
        set thefile to value of attribute "AXDocument" of window 1
    end tell
 end tell

-- macos comes with php installed you can decode this file name using php
return do shell script "php -r 'echo urldecode(\"" & thefile & "\");'"

which i found on macscripter

Problem

I have tried this but it doesn't work: ``` tell application "Preview" set myfile to path of document 1 of window 1 end tell ``` I have verified that my Preview is scriptable (NSAppleScriptEnabled).
