Automator_jpg to pdf with original file name?

Here you go. This does exactly what you want it to do except for one thing, the name of the PDF will be the name of the folder where you have the images. The reason why I did this is because I was not sure what image name you wanted as you will have more than one image.

Below I have included the workflow attached. Now the other thing, is that there are a couple of 3rd party actions which you will have to download, unfortunately.

Here it is:

Here is the workflow you can download.

Hey Lindo,

Thake out Wait for Finder Actions and then try it and see if it works.

Let me know.

The reason why it didn't work is because the workflow you built is not exactly like the one I did.

If you look at my example and yours you will see that right after the first Set Value of Variable that this does not connect to the next action (it shouldn't). As well following right after this you should be a Get Value of Variable (of OriginalFolder) connected to the Get Names of Finder Items.

Fix that and it should work.

Then it should work!!!

Good luck.

This worked almost perfectly for me and I am very grateful to you, pjdube, for getting me this far. My missing step was the 3rd party sourced "Get Names of Finder Items".

My only issue now is that I have multi-page TIFFs and this only converts the first page - so infuriating! Is there any way to make it convert all the pages into one PDF?

Thanks in anticipation?

No problem David,

I can assure you that without a doubt that my workflow works above. Can you upload a screenshot of your workflow so I can see where this is going wrong?

I am assuming that you got the 3rd party action "Get Names of Finder Items" and you put that in the workflow and tried it?

Another question, what is the average size of the TIFF files do you have?

Just wondering: did any of you notice that the resulting PDF was unusually large? I'm finding that when I send jpegs to "New PDF from Images" in Automator, under both this workflow and others I have tried, they are often several times larger than the originals. (Conversely, making a PDF from the same files in Acrobat creates a PDF approximately the same size as the combined size of the original jpegs). If you dealt with this, I'd appreciate any solutions!
