Batch convert Pages to Word documents - Quick Action with Automator?

I've tested this stellar Automator application posted earlier, and found that it still works in Sonoma 14.7 with Pages 14.2

How can I edit that AppleScript to work as a Quick Action, so that I can right-click a .pages file (or several selected files) in the finder, trigger the action from the Quick Actions menu, and select a folder for the .docx output?


If I set it up like this in Automator with the script as written:


...I get the following error when I run the quick action (I wasn't expecting it to work but it's maybe a starting point):

[ -1700 ] Can’t make every item of «class cfol» (alias "Macintosh HD:Users:XXXX:Documents:Test1.pages") of application "Finder" whose {"Pages document", "Pages Publication"} contains kind into type alias list.

Thanks in advance for any help. I have 3/10 experience with Automator (I've managed to get a few things to work) and 1/10 with AppleScript.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.7
