AddrBk

addrBk: A perl script to create a compact, printable list of entries from OS X Address Book vCard format.

for Mac OS X; probably applicable to other vCard-format address books.  by N Resnikoff, 2004.

---------TO USE:

1.  Download the application.  It will expand into an application called AddrBk.app.

2.  Create a group in the Apple OS X address book with the word 'print' in the name (e.g. 'ToPrint', 'printable', etc).  Move the cards you want printed into this group (the cards will remain in their original groups).

3.  Drag the group onto the Desktop.  It will create a file called 'vCards.vcf'.  Drag the file onto the AddrBk application.

4.  The script will create a file on the Desktop called 'addressList.txt'.  Open it in a text editor, format to suit (for example, change font size), and print.




If you want to change the behavior, you can download the perl script.  It can be used as a drag-n-drop application with the help of ScriptGUI.


Final note: there seems to be a failure on address books that have unicode (international) characters.  If you have this problem, you may want to try this version.
