   Could this be changed to simply batch convert .eps and .ps files using Preview because Preview creates much smaller pdf files with Mac OS X 10.5.3 Quartz PDFContext than the regular unix pstopdf function?

   Ideally the workflow would mirror a selected set of nested folders into a separate but identical set of nested folders containing the converted .pdf versions of the files.

   This would be of enormous value to designers who need to convert large numbers of clipart collections from, the OSX unfriendly, .eps versions.

   Ignore my previous post. It turns out the default Preview app automator action also dumps the resulting tmp file into /private/tmp. So all my attempts at securing this are come to naught. Maybe I’ll look at the python script that underlies it.

   This is really beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to do this. One little suggestion is that there is a security issue with dumping these files to /private/tmp — especially since they don’t get cleaned up by the script. It would be better to put the temporary files in /private/tmp/UID or perhaps a hidden folder in the home directory (which can then be tossed).

   Thank you thank you thank you… I’ve been looking for a way to bookify some image collections I have and this is definitely the most elegant way to do it.
