Here's what I use on the desktop. Don't know squat about how this could be massaged for iPad.

---------

on mouseUp tBtn
   answer file "Please choose a file to look at ..."
   if it is empty then exit mouseUp
   put it into theFile
   put empty into allowDrag
   quickLook theFile
end mouseUp

on quickLook theFile
   put apostrophe (theFile) into theFile
-- put "qlmanage -t " & "-s 900 " & theFile into tcmd -- apparently sets it to max orig size, white window -- put "qlmanage -t " & "-f 5 " & theFile into tcmd ---- apparently sets it to max orig size, white window
   put "qlmanage -p " & theFile into tcmd -- shows it in a black window
   get shell(tCmd)
   if the result is not empty then beep
end quickLook

function apostrophe str
   return "'" & str & "'"
end apostrophe

Has anyone figured out how to open, say a pdf, using iPads Quick Look? I
mean via LC.
This would be great because Quick Look handles many types of files.

Thanks,
Simon
