I had a PNG mixed in with a couple hundred JPGs and kept getting the same error message. Finally, I left the PNG out of the mix and everything was fine.</p> <p>Still, I'd love to see the double vision go away. Any idea what's causing it? I'm under Snow Leopard. Thanks for this great workflow!!</p> This is an awesome script–the only bugs it’s given me are 1) it is doubling images and 2) it chokes if some of the image files have different file formats.

Still, I’d love to see the double vision go away. Any idea what’s causing it? I’m under Snow Leopard. Thanks for this great workflow!!

It resized the images to 8.5 x 11. This happens with several other convert to pdf solutions I've tried. I'm assuming it has something to do with the CUPS/PPD? Is there a way to retatin the original size. I'm trying to save multiple jpeg files to single pdf.</p> This worked great except for one thing. It resized the images to 8.5 x 11.

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.

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.</p> Very very useful, thanks!

I certainly do wish that Preview was scriptable. The Preview Automator actions also do not allow one to export to PDF (at least on Tiger, I don't know about Leopard).</p> Peter, Preview is not scriptable so I don’t believe your suggestion would work.
