[Automator] Error with action "Search PDF documents", reset

MacOS10.10.3

I always get the return: Error when searching PDF Documents. Every time I review my little workflow app the "Search for PDF Documents" settings are set to default. Naturally that error message would appear.

But why does the setting get restored? Testing the app in automaton works perfectly. Saving and then running the app however will return that error message. If I go back and check the apps actions I then see that the search by pages larger than 3 vanished.

My workflow "Move ebook PDFs" [type: Program]:

*menu translated from german to englisch sorry*

1. Search for pdf's with more than 4 pages

2. Move them to a different folder, e.g. my ebook pdfs

3. Show that folder to sort out pdfs that aren't ebooks by hand, e.g. long invoices etc

MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
