Re:JavaScript as an alternative to AppleScript on OS X Yosemite

The one thing I still like about AppleScript is the GUI scripting. I don't know of any other way to control the mouse position, clicking, and keyboard input using a programming language.
One time I had to fill out a few thousand pdf files and print only select pages from them (like pages 2-4 and 14-22) for a client. I used applescripting because it was easy to write (took about half an hour) and worked consistently. Are there any other ways to do GUI scripting in OSX?
