Converting all PNG to PDF in a folder

This sounds like a problem fit for an Automator solution, but I don't know if this is possible:
Recursively traverse all files in a folder (incl sub folders), finding all PNG files and converting them to PDFs.
Then finally created a single ZIP file holding the entire source folder.

GraphicConverter is probably the easiest to use and it is very flexible:

For the ultimate in speed and options the more technically minded may wish to install and learn to use ImageMagick:
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#macosx
GraphicConverter is GUI based and ImageMagick is Terminal command based.
It may be simplest to manually zip after conversion.
I am sure you could use AppleScript or Automator but I would explore GraphicConverter first.

  • Is it possible for automator to convert all word documents in my dropbox folder to apple's "pages" on iCloud and keep the same folder organization?

    Is it possible for automator to convert all word documents in my dropbox folder to apple's "pages" on iCloud and keep the same folder organization?  I am a teacher and want to switch from using microsoft office on my macbook pro to using pages/number/keynote.  I am hoping to get an iPad next year and go "paperless" with lesson plans and gradebooks and I heard that pages/numbers/keynote are great on the ipad.  I'd like to write an automator script (workflow?) to convert all my documents in dropbox to pages and have them stored on iCloud, then be able to access the files on my macbook pro and ipad.  Thanks!

    Create an AppleID under different email addresses for each family member at http://appleid.apple.com
    If they don't already have their own email address just setup a free one with Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail or whoever you prefer.
    Then on each device sign into iMessage with the users own AppleID in:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Tap AppleID at top > Sign Out, then sign back in again with the correct AppleID.

  • Png to pdf needs huge magnification

    When I try to convert a png to pdf in Acrobat 8, the resulting image needs (like) 10,000x zoom. What do I do?
    I've attached an example.

    I don't really have a proper graphic editor, but I've tried to resave the png file attached above as another png, as a bmp, and as a jpeg, with my 'Paint' program (on Windows 7). When I open these files with my Windows Photo Viewer, they all look normal, but trying to convert to pdf, either through a right-click on the file, or through Acrobat itself, it's still resulting in a tiny image in the middle of the screen, at a huge magnification. Is there something wrong with whatever it is that is converting these files?

  • What is the recommended tool to convert all of my email and their attachments in one stroke to pdf files in the same folder structure that emails are stored in

    I have thousands of emails creatively stored in a host of sub folders. I would like to see if anyone knows of a tool that I can point at TB and convert all of my files into a similar file structure with the attachments embedded into the emails. I don't want much I realize. I bet there is a tool out there that will get me close.

    I don't know of a way to produce pdfs in a simple way (probably with a pdf printer driver), but if you export or save messages as eml files, the attachments are embedded in the emls, and emls can be read by most email programs. Besides saving through Ctrl-S, exporting complex folders to eml format is probably best done with [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/ ImportExportTools].

  • I need to convert hundreds of TRANSPARENT PDFs into PNG or TIFF

    I need to convert hundreds of TRANSPARENT PDFs into PNG or TIFF. 
    That's not possible with Acrobat. It’s possible to convert hundreds of PDFs into PNG or TIFF using batch processing. But transparency is LOST! 
    Photoshop is the only software I know of which is able to keep transparency when converting from PDF to PNG.
    But now I have problems to get batch processing running.
    I made an Action with “Open file”, “Save as PSD” and “Export to PNG”. 
    Using this Action in batch-process-files with source as a folder with many PDFs and target as a different folder results in many opened PDFs within Photoshop. Nothing else happens:-(. 
    Any ideas? 
    Thanks
    Norbert

    Great:)
    It worked at once.
    Thank you so much for this link.

  • Batch convert appleworks to pdf in same folder

    I need a script that will work in 10.5.8 on a powerPC machine (iBook G4) that will allow me to scan the entire drive for Appleworks documents, open them in AppleWorks, print to PDF, apply the same name and save in the same folder.
    A bonus would be to also delete the original AppleWorks file while it's at it.
    Anyone written something like this? I see some solutions that batch convert to PDF into a default folder - all I need is to save in the original file folder and delete the original doc. Of course I will be making a clone of the afected system beforehand.
    Thanks in advance for any responses,
    M

    Two snags with that script:
    - it does not put the PDF in the folder the original file came from
    - it aborts if there is a message about contents not fitting on PDF print area
    ANy suggestions on either?

  • While saving a file, I have converted all my files to Pdf.  The only way to restore previous is to delete Adobe.  Does anyone have a soution?

    While saving a file, I have converted all my files to Pdf.  This made everything inaccessible, even Explorer.  I had to delete Adobe to get back to some of the previous files.  I tried to restore system to previous, but I kept getting a pop up message that said I did not have enough shadow space.  Does anyone have a solution?  Greatly appreciate your help.

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 plus I create PDF files for work some are scan pdf docs. When I install Photoshop Elements 10 it DOES convert all the PDF files to Photoshop Elements-10 Docs. it even changes and shows the PSE-10 Icon. So I am alway installing PSE-10 or uninstalling it. If I send the  PDF file that has been automatically converted to a PSE-10 the person I send the file to can not open it because they do not have PSE-10. What can I do to stop PSE-10 from converting my PDF files? Don't tell me to upgrade PSE-10 I tried their on-line program and  it is too advance for a hobby photographer like myself and their Help Desk is impossible to reach.

    Hi,
    Can you please share the logs?
    You can use the Adobe  Log Collector tool (Log Collector Tool) and share the corresponding zip file @ [email protected]

    Nothing has been converted. You first need to convince yourself of this.
    Start Adobe Reader (or Adobe Acrobat, if you have it). Use Open from the File menu. Pick one of your PDF files. Does it open OK? If not, what happens?
    Ok, these emails. What exactly happens when trying to open them?

    Hi,
    Acrobat 7 is not tested with Office 365. However your PDF Printer is working fine then you can print your office files to it.

  • Pdf converter pro not converting all columns

    pdf converter pro not converting all columns

    I'm using FrameMaker 7.1 to create multi-file user manual books (one file = one chapter). In Book view, I use the File > Save Book As... option to create the PDFs.
    Most of the FrameMaker cross-references work in the PDF, jumping to the referenced location as expected. Not all do, however. If there is a common trait among the jumps that won't jump, I have not identified it.
    I have downloaded the entire 7.1 "upgrade library" from the Adobe Web site (one update), but the problem persists. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • I downloaded a cheap PDF editor and it converted all my PDFs to their software. Then when I deleted it, I cannot open them in the Adobe format any longer. Please let me know how to get them back!

    It's important to understand that when this sort of thing happens files aren't "converted" at all.
    In Windows and Mac, there is just one app (program) that it run when you double click a type of file. There's an app for Word documents (Microsoft Word). There's an app for PDF files. So all that happened is that you installed an app which can open PDF files.
    Nothing changed in the files. You can still open them the traditional way if you forget double click - start the app, use Open from the File menu.
