Convert Images to Combined PDF 1.0
Function: Converts the selected images to a single PDF file.
Author: Rhet Turnbull
Notes: Files are ordered based on ascending name (since the Finder doesn’t pass selected items in the order they appear in the Finder window) but this can be changed by editing the workflow. The resultant PDF is opened in Preview and will need to be saved manually (the file is created in /private/tmp).

@Maedi glad it’s useful! I don’t like the fact that landscape images are converted to portrait pages but havent’ found an easy way around that for the Automator action. If do figure it out, I’ll post an update. Cheers! -Rhet

Very very useful, thanks! This script will convert landscape images to portrait in PDF, if this is not desirable then open the PDF in Preview, select all, and go to Tools -> Rotate left.

Rhet, is there some way to stretch the images so they fit the page?
