CMYK Separation Extractor & Preview 1.00

Danke! Dein Tool-Set klingt nach einer interessanten Alternative zu Acrobat.

Kannst du evtl. den Grund für meine Fehlermeldung finden / lösen?

               Could not draw this page at all, page will be missing in the output.

P.S.: Der Preview-Ordner ist leer, hat aber 6 kB. – Falls Ghostscript eine Ursache ist: Bisher hatte ich Ghostscript nicht installiert, jetzt habe ich die v10. aus deinem Link verwendet, finde aber keine App dazu. Da der Installer mit "Full" benannt ist, hätte ich vermutet, dass ein Interface als .app im Programme-Ordner mit installiert würde, oder?

Hi all, I'm the developer of PDF Checkpoint. A user pointed me to this discussion and it's good to see PDF Checkpoint mentioned on your forum. As someone correctly mentioned earlier, PDF Che

An incredibly useful thread, but yes, it takes a bit of work to sift through 11 pages of discussion! So, if you’ve just tuned in, and you’re wanting to check your print separations in a post-Adobe wor

Nein, bei Ghostscript handelt es sich um reine Unix-Programme bzw. -Befehle, wo es keine Oberfläche gibt. Hierzu gibt es extra Programme, die z. B. Elemente davon verwenden und als GUI anzeigen, wie z. B. das OpenSource-DTP-Programm "Scribus".  

Hast du den Ordner mit den Skripten wirklich dort hin kopiert, wo du auch Schreibrechte hast (in deinem Benutzerordner)? 

Ich würde auch mal versuchen, diese Version 10 von Ghostscript noch einmal zu entfernen (deinstallieren) und durch die neueste 9er-Version zu ersetzen (installieren). Die 10er-Version ist glaube ich noch sehr neu und sollte noch nicht so unbedingt produktiv eingesetzt werden. Dort steht nämlich auch neben dem Downloadlink: "In case of trouble, revert back to Ghostscript 9.56.1 below." Ich selbst habe es auch nur mit 9.50 (unter High Sierra) und 9.56 (Catalina) getestet.

@iPeter, you may want to make a dedicated thread with your droplets in the Resources subforum, so that it's not buried in this monster thread here.

I open a extra thread on the resources forum-area: 

CMYK Separation Extractor & Preview – AppleScript-Droplets

Thank you for your advice.

I don't think that's too bad, because it gives you some kind of status (progress and error) without having to program some kind of progress bar

That's a good point. Thanks

progress bar (I wouldn't know how to do that in AppleScript either)

Perhaps like this?

Thank you for your interesting link. 

I think, that is very difficult to implement this, because AppleScript only knows his own objects and not the values from another resources (for example output from unix-commands and the number of pages from a pdf). There is only one file (pdf choose by AppleScript) and one main Unix-command (Ghostscript) for each process. And the time from the Unix-command (Ghostscript-Task) is different long (is dependent from the number of pages of a pdf). Furthermore the Ghostscript-Command must be communicate with the AppceScript, if one page is completed. I think there is no (easy) way/solution.

In theory (as I'm just a "hobby scripter"), you can count files dropped/selected, and likely also pages included.
Here an example I found with a quick DuckDuck search:
