Function: Converts any images selected in the foremost Finder window into PDFs (requires ImageMagick).
Author: James Fisher, Denison University
Notes: This workflow builds around the ImageMagick convert utility, it can be installed via Fink. Otherwise, the heavy lifting of the workflow is performed by an AppleScript, so be prepared for a wait depending on the number of images selected. Please be aware that the processing path cannot contain spaces, so a new folder called “ImagestoPDFs” is created on the desktop for the final documents to reside in. Comments, constructive only, are always welcome. Enjoy.
(Note that a number of actions in this workflow have broken folder paths that require correcting- Steve)
Hi James
this workflow doesnt seem to be working for me. i have ImageMagick installed.
While running the apple script, i get an error saying it cannot find ‘/sw/sbin/convert’
i have been trying to find the appropriate file on my mac, but it is nowhere on my system. i don’t know what package this file is supposed to be part of.
Any help/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
With best regards Maarten
