FAQ: Creating PDF Files from FrameMaker v.6 & earlier Documents -- Why you should not use "save as PDF"! -- Windows & MacOS Only!

An issue that has come up over and over again on several FrameMaker and Acrobat/PDF email lists as well on the corresponding Adobe User-to-User forums is that of creation of PDF files. FrameMaker 5.5.6 and 6 have what looks like a convenient feature that is supposed to allow you to create PDF files via simply saving the document as a PDF file. I have gone on record as advising end-users not to use this approach for reliable creation of PDF files from FrameMaker documents under Windows and MacOS with FrameMaker 6 and earlier. Why do I most vociferously offer this advice and why doesn't the problem get fixed? And how SHOULD you create PDF files from FrameMaker?
GOOD NEWS
I will start with the good news. The "next major version" of FrameMaker will indeed have "save as PDF" re-implemented in a manner that it will be as reliable as printing to the "Acrobat Distiller" printer instance under Windows or the "Create Adobe PDF" desktop printer under MacOS. I am personally working with the FrameMaker development organization to make sure this really happens and is fully and properly tested and debugged! Furthermore, this next major revision of FrameMaker, unlike FrameMaker 6, will come with a Distiller installer that will properly install the "Acrobat Distiller" printer instance under Windows and the "Create Adobe PDF" desktop printer on the Macintosh (of course assuring that the latest PostScript driver is also automatically and correctly installed).
DON'T USE "SAVE AS PDF"
But what's wrong with "save as PDF" as currently implemented?
The following are some of the SYMPTOMS reported over the last few years by FrameMaker users that were traced back to use of "save as PDF" under FrameMaker:
(1) No PDF file is produced at all, possibly with a log file showing not-readily apparent PostScript errors during distillation.
(2) The PDF file "loses" color in images. All or some images (raster, bitmap images, NOT vector artwork) appear in the PDF file in grayscale.
(3) The resultant PDF file is on the wrong paper size, i.e., the document's logical page size does not match the output page size as seen in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
(4) Some or all text in the resultant PDF file is blotchy looking or overly bold.
(5) Some or all text in the resultant PDF file cannot be searched or indexed.
(6) Some or all text in the resultant PDF file appears in Courier or in some other substitution font.
(7) Interword or intercharacter spacing is a bit irregular in the resultant PDF file.
(8) Content is missing in the margin areas of the page, i.e. you cannot do full-page bleeds.
(9) Some or all page content is missing (other than margin areas).
(10) Relatively inefficient PDF is generated.
If this list by itself isn't enough for you, please note that some of these symptoms are very subtle and may escape attention when the PDF is first viewed or printed. Oftimes, it is when one attempts to manipulate the PDF file in Acrobat or repurpose its content or even view or print on a system other than the one on which the PDF file was created, that some of these symptoms make themselves obnoxiously visible (or invisible in some cases I won't make any bad jokes here about graphic examples!).
It is important to understand that FrameMaker does NOT have its own native ability to create PDF. Any and all PDF created from FrameMaker documents is actually done by creating PostScript via the PostScript driver and having the Acrobat Distiller create PDF from that PostScript. The only exception to this is creation of PDF via the Acrobat PDFWriter driver, which is likewise not recommended (see below).
In order for "save as PDF" to work correctly, FrameMaker must do the equivalent of calling Printer Setup and selecting the "Acrobat Distiller" printer instance under Windows or the "Create Adobe PDF" desktop printer under MacOS followed by setting the driver's options correctly for paper size, page range, etc., followed by sending the proper commands to the driver to create PostScript.
Contrary to popular belief, PostScript as generated by the Windows and MacOS PostScript drivers is VERY device-dependent. The information in the PPD file associated with a printer driver instance provides critical parameters for generation of PostScript including:
Whether the printer supports color (Acrobat Distiller does)
What PostScript language level is supported (Acrobat Distiller 4.x and Acrobat Distiller 5.x are both PostScript language level 3)
Whether native TrueType support is available (Acrobat supports native TrueType as Type 42 fonts)
Available binary communications (Acrobat Distiller supports pure binary and ASCII, but NOT TCP, TBCP, or PJL)
Resident fonts (Acrobat Distiller doesn't really have resident fonts)
Available paper sizes and custom paper size availability (Acrobat Distiller supports a wide range of predefined sizes and continually variable "custom" sizes up to 200" by 200")
Margins / printable areas (for PDF and the Acrobat Distiller, there are no margins in which imaging is not permitted)
Device resolution (Acrobat Distiller can be set to any value from 72 to 4000 dpi; as a convenience, the Acrobat Distiller PPD provides a series of values for use by the driver. Since there is no inherent "resolution" of a PDF file, this parameter is used only for purposes of allowing PostScript programs that query for such a value to be satisfied and for the driver to be able to communicate this value to the operating system and/or application as required.)
Paper handling (totally irrelevant to Acrobat Distiller if input or output tray selection via "setpagedevice" is found in the PostScript stream, it is ignored by Acrobat Distiller)
Thus, if the wrong printer driver instance is selected (i.e., it isn't associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD file) or that driver instance is improperly configured, improper PostScript will result and one or more of the symptoms described above can occur. As currently implemented, FrameMaker depending upon version will not necessarily choose the correct printer driver instance and/or correctly parameterize the print job via driver setup options. In fact, FrameMaker 5,5,6 might even try to generate PDF via calling a PCL driver, FAX driver, or even a non-PostScript inkjet printer!
DON'T USE PDFWRITER
The Acrobat PDFWriter is a relic of older versions of Acrobat. In fact, it is no longer installed by default in the "easy install" or the "typical install" of Acrobat 5. It hasn't really be updated since Acrobat 3 and only supports PDF 1.2. It is a GDI (Windows) / QuickDraw (MacOS) driver that directly generates PDF without any intermediary PostScript. Since it is not a PostScript printer driver, applications cannot pass through EPS graphics and/or PDFMark information (used for a wide variety of purposes by FrameMaker). For EPS graphics, most applications will send the low resolution TIFF (or PICT) EPS header in lieu of the PostScript text, if they send anything at all, to the driver. Forget about links, structure, or any other PDF "goodies." Expect that PDFWriter will fully "bite the dust" in the next major version of Acrobat.
SO HOW DO I GENERATE PDF FILES FROM FRAMEMAKER 6 & EARLIER?
The ONLY method that is really reliable for producing PDF files with FrameMaker 6 and earlier requires the generation of PostScript via a properly set printer driver instance associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD and distillation of the resultant PostScript by Acrobat Distiller.
Case 1: FrameMaker and the Full Acrobat 4.05 or Acrobat 5.0x Products
PDF file from a "chapter" -- print directly to the Acrobat Distiller printer instance (Windows) or the Create Adobe PDF desktop printer (MacOS) already installed by Acrobat. If you check the "Acrobat data" option, then make sure to UNcheck the "print to file" option that gets set at the same time. As a result, the driver will automatically send the generated PostScript to the Distiller for you and delete the intermediate PostScript when done.
PDF file from a "book" -- print directly to the Acrobat Distiller printer instance with the "print to file" option checked (Windows) or the Virtual Printer desktop printer (MacOS) associated with the Distiller PPD (see details below under Case 2/MacOS). You will need to manually process the resultant PostScript file through the Distiller (or use a "watched folder" arrangement).
In both the above sub-cases, the default driver options generally will be OK, but check on paper size and communication protocol (Use pure binary, not ASCII, for optimal performance AND no CTRL-D characters under Windows. Make sure to set Level 3 only and Binary under MacOS. Font inclusion "All" for Acrobat 4.05 and "None" for Acrobat 5 under MacOS.). With Acrobat 4.05, make sure you preset the Distiller to use the joboptions you want. With Acrobat 5, you can set this on a job-by-job basis via the driver printer setup interface (or print dialog on MacOS).
Case 2: FrameMaker 6 and the Bundled Acrobat 4.05 Distiller
Windows -- Create a new printer driver instance using the latest version of the Adobe Universal PostScript Driver Installer, downloadable from Adobe's web site AND the Acrobat Distiller PPD file (located in the XTRAS subdirectory of the Distiller directory). This driver instance should be set to print to the local port named "FILE:". Name this driver instance as "Acrobat Distiller". The default driver options generally will be OK, but check on paper size and communication protocol (use pure binary, not ASCII, for optimal performance AND no CTRL-D characters). Make sure you preset the Distiller to use the joboptions you want. Print directly to this Acrobat Distiller printer instance. Make sure that the "print to file" option is checked. You will need to manually process the resultant PostScript file through the Distiller (or use a "watched folder" arrangement).
MacOS -- Install the latest version of AdobePS 8.7.x, downloadable from Adobe's web site. In FrameMaker, go to Page Setup and select the "Virtual Printer" and go to the "Virtual Printer" window pane. Select the Acrobat Distiller PPD file (located in the XTRAS subfolder of the Distiller folder). Print directly to the "Virtual Printer" (Make sure to set Level 3 only, Binary, and font inclusion "All".). Make sure you preset the Distiller to use the joboptions you want. You will need to manually process the resultant PostScript file through the Distiller (or use a "watched folder" arrangement).
Case 3: Acrobat 3
Acrobat 3 is not officially supported for the latest OS versions and I personally would no longer recommend its use for generation of PDF files given that Acrobat 5.0.5 is the current version of Acrobat.

You're asking a lot of ancient Acrobat to work with an Office that never existed when it was made. "Just updated my office suite" is a massive change, and Window 8 didn't exist at that time either...

How to create pdf files in UNIX directory from oracle reports

I would like to know how to create pdf files in UNIX directory from oracle reports.
Thanks,

Please make your question more clear . Also mention the reports version.
1) If you are runnning reports in Unix, you can give
.... destype=file desformat=pdf desname=<filename>
in command line
Please refer docs below.
2) If by your question you mean
"My reports server is running in Windows but I want to ftp my files to Unix after creating it"
then the answer is that you can use pluggable destination "ftp"
.... destype=ftp desformat=pdf desname=<ftp url>
Pluggable destinations download

Acrobat 8 Pro and Create PDF from a Website

Hi,
I'm out of sorts. I can't seem to be able to turn a website thread into PDF file using my Acrobat 8 Pro (Mac user)....
The thread I'm trying to save has multiple pages and all Acrobat 8 does is save only the first page and not any of the subsequent pages.... unless I manually go page by page but then I end up with multiple PDF files that I would have to combine and that is just too time consuming --and would have to learn to do that as well.
Here's the link to the website thread I'm trying to convert into PDF:http://tinyurl.com/6guqpf
Could someone please advice what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks,
R

Thanks Paul, I've tried to Save as PDF in the OSX print dialogue box- but it only saves the first page of the thread I'm trying to save (when most threads have more than 1 page, sometimes up to 30 pages each)
This is what my friend wrote and how she found a way to solve her problem.... however I don't have Adobe 5 as she does and I would like to not have to get Adobe 5 but use only Adobe 8....
<<I start Adobe 8.
Select Create PDF from Web Page and paste in:
http://learningcenter.atkins.com/sessions/discussions/index.jsp?courseSessionId=7233&webPa geId=1000007&courseId=3856
When it's made the first page (see attached) [<<=== can't attach here since you need a password to view it.]
I save it and exit.
Then I open Adobe 5 and then I can click on each topic to start capturing the information (meaning all pages to each thread without a problem).
If I click on a topic in Adobe 8 ... it makes a page in a new browser window ... and I'm lost.>>
Do you or anyone else know why this is so? Why Adobe 8 would open a page in a new browser window and Adobe 5 doesn't?
Thanks again,
R

FrameMaker 11 very slow to create PDF

Hello All
Using FrameMaker 11 (TCS4) on Windows Vista SP2 (32-bit), dual-core 2.8GHz, 4GB RAM.
I have a book file with nine chapters, title, TOC and Index, adding up to about 550 pages when printed. It used to take about 10 minutes to create PDF using FrameMaker 9. Now that we have upgraded to FM11 it takes over 90 minutes. The chapters contain screenshots as well as text, and I am printing the whole book as one file.
I have tried this using Save Book As (then choosing PDF), printing to Adobe PDF as .ps and then distilling, and Save as PDF, all with similar results.
Then, because I was working across our network, I copied all the files to my local drive and tried again. Same results. I have also set the printer to not start printing until all pages are spooled.
Watching the activity in the printer dialog, I see that pages are spooled quickly (about 1-2 sec/page) if the chapter file is small (up to 40 pages). But in the case of large files (up to 140 pages) each page takes over 10 seconds to spool, and some take 20 seconds. I wondered if this indicates insufficient RAM?
I've read lots of useful information about PDF creation from FM, and tried most of the recommendations (including Dov's recommendations for printer/Distiller settings from years back), but nothing makes a difference.
Any recommendations are welcome. Thanks.

Based on the number of recent complaints about PDF rendering performance, it rather looks like there might be a problem with the newer FM releases. I can't personally say, because we're still on FM7/Unix, and don't use our FM9/Win764 versions for production.
Printing to .ps and Distilling separately should help at least get your FM GUI prompt back sooner, and unless Adobe has broken it, the full Acrobat Pro product can be set to have Distiller "watch" directories for new .ps files, and generate PDFs without any user attention.
It would be interesting to know if the rendering process is multi-threaded to any significant degree. if so, having more cores in your CPU would help.
I'm also wondering if FM11 gets any benefit from installation on Win64.
And at the risk of stimulating conspiracy theories, would using Framemaker Server print any faster? I at least presume that it would free up the workstations during print.
Per-core CPU clocks hit the wall 10 years ago. Per core perf has been creeping up since then, with most of the per-chip gain in the form of more cores. Application coders, however, seem to be assuming that per-core performance is still ramping up at 2x@2yr as a side effect of Moore's Conjecture.

Creating PDF file in XI using iText

Hi all,
I am trying to create a PDF file in XI using itext. The PDF file is getting created in my target ftp server but I am not able to open the PDF. It is throwing the below error while opening.
"Adobe Reader could not open the sample.pdf because it is either not a supported file or because the file has been damaged(for example,it was sent as an e mail attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)"
I am using the below code in my udf
String filename= "Sample.pdf";
try
Document document= new Document();
PdfWriter pdfwriter=PdfWriter.getInstance(document,new FileOutputStream(filename));
document.open();
document.add(new Paragraph("Hi How are you?"));
document.close();
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
       .getTransformationParameters()
       .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
conf.put(key,filename);
catch(Exception e)
return "";
Kindly let me know if you have any information on this.
With Regards

hi,
I had used custom adapter module for creating the PDF file.
you have to use java mapping if you want to create pdf without using adapter module.
You need to import iText library available at http://itextpdf.com/.

Create PDF from Web page using Acrobat X - Page Order

I have a structured web site that is in fact Program Help The web pages are structured as follows:
index.html - Main Topic Index page with links to all topic subject index pages
topic/index.html - Topic Subject Index Page with links to all subject pages
topic/subject.html - Subject page
.....etc
Using Acrobat 5 "Create PDF from Web Page" created a perfect logical PDF page structure in the page order of of the web site. In Acrobat 5 page 1 was the Main Topic Index Page, page 2 was the 1st Topic Subject Index Page, page 3 was the 1st Subject Page, then the 2nd subject of the 1st Topic, etc. until the Topic Subjects were exhausted after which the 2nd Topic Subject Index Page and so it went on. As a result the bookmark structure was sensible. The page order was as follows:
Main Topic Contents
Topic 1 Contents
Subject 1 of Topic 1
Subject 2 of Topic 1
Topic N Contents
Subject 1 of Topic N
Subject 2 of Topic N
Acrobat X (just purchased) produces a differently structured PDF from the same HTML pages. The order is:
Main Topic Contents
Topic 1 Contents
Topic 2 Contents
Topic N Contents
Main Topic Contents (a second time)
Subject 1 of Topic 1
Subject 2 of Topic 1
Subject N of Topic 1
Subject 1 of Topic 2
Subject 2 of Topic 2
Subject N of Topic N
Question: Is there any way I can get back with Acrobat X the same page order I got with Acrobat 5?
Any help appreciated. The website is www.caliach.com/caliach/vision/help/index.html
Chris

Acrobat is using the underlying mark up of the rendered HTML page.
This may or may not provide an adequate input to Acrobat when it is noodling out how and what to tag.
I suspect you may find that, to obtain an adequately tagged PDF, you may have to capture the web page content with the create bookmarks and create tags options off.
Once you have the PDF make working copies.
Try letting Acrobat tag this already created PDF to see what happens.
You may have to manually tag the PDF.
n.b., The default read order for western language can be altered by user selections in the accesibility setup or by selection in the PDF page(s) Page Properties.
Be well...

Creating an Index

Hi,
I have imported a multipage PDF using the multipage script I downloaded from Adobe.
I multipage PDF imports ok, but I cant Highlit any text withing the document to create an index.
Can you advise how i can use the text tool to highlight text and create an index.
Thanks

I have not used the plugin, but it is supposed to create a fully editable InDesign file from the PDF, which means you should be able to make an index.
Do you have a lot of entries you need to make? It might work to place the PDF on one layer, then add a second layer to the file and add text frames above the PDF. Enter the index terms in these new layers (lots of hand typing) and add the index markers. You can make the second layer non-printing and still include it in the indexing, I think. You might also be able to extract the text from the PDF in Acrobat Pro and flow that (in fact you could rebuild the whole document this way if you were so inclined, extracting both the text and the images).
But the larger question is why you are trying to work from the PDF instead of the original layout, which should b e relatively simple to index.

and then use archiving object to store the photo i have explained you as an example
You have to create a content repository "A2" or another . You have to follow then next steps :
Create a content repository with storage type FILE archive.
Tcode OAC0
IMG: Basis Components Basis Services SAP Archive Link Basic Settings Maintain content repositories
(Embedded image moved to file: pic00041.pcx)
Swap from display to amend. Select a current entry and 'copy' or just hit 'create'. Then select .
(Embedded image moved to file: pic18467.pcx)
Then fill in the details as below:
Choose a two char name
Set DocArea to be 'Archive Link'
Storage type FILE archive (see Note below on how to get this!)
Choose Version no. 0031
Enter the path name where the photos are to be loaded from. Note this is for loading only. When the photos are linked into the sap system (see later), actually, SAP takes a 'copy' and stores it elsewhere. The path may only need to be entered to 'Arch.path', but entering to all three doesn't seem to hurt.
Note on storage type:
Storage type 'FILE archive' may not be in the dropdown list, and F4 (poss entries) may not work! If this is the case, click on the field Storage type (left mouse button) and then click the right mouse button. Choose Possible entries and a full list of all
possible storage types is shown. FILE archive is entry number 08 and then
Check which content repository (Archive) is linked to document type HRICOLFOTO in object type PREL.
Tcode OAC3
Table TOAOM_C
IMG: Basis Components Basis Services SAP Archive Link Basic Settings Maintain Links
(Embedded image moved to file: pic06334.pcx)
Set the 'Content R' field to the one you've just set in the step above.
Note the Ret.per. field is the retention period for the photo in MONTHS. (so the default is 833 years and 3 months!)
Now you can link the photo to the employee.
Pls reward pts if found usefull :)

"Create PDF from Web Page" Yields Authorization Failure

Acrobat 9 Pro Extended running on Windows XP Service Pack 3:
When using "Create PDF from Web Page," certain linked pages result in an "Authorization Failure" error message. Is there any way to instruct Acrobat to disregard pages that are not downloadable and continue creating the PDF?

I am having the same issue AND none of my pages or files require a UserID or Password. My issue appears to be something with the domain because a and b work just fine and produce a PDF file while item c does not work and produces the error msg.
http://www.dot.wi.gov/projects/neregion/151/index.htm works just fine and produces a PDF file.

Create PDF From Web Page - Authenticated SharePoint Sites generate "Authorization Failure" error

We have several authenticated sharepoint sites on our intranet, and we are trying to create a PDF of a site (x levels down) using the Acrobat create PDF from web page feature. When you try to create a PDF from a non-sharepoint, authenticated website, a login prompt appears asking for login credentials. However, when you try to use the same feature on an authenticated sharepoint site, you do not get prompted for credentials and instead get an Authorization Failure error. the popup says "Error: Nothing Done". We have successfully PDF'd anonymous sharepoint sites on the WWW. Has anyone successfully PDF'd an authenticated SharePoint site?
Thanks in advance,
-Richard.

What server language are you using? I have used a server
component
called www.asppdf.com which is fairly expensive, but can
create PDFs on
the fly from dynamic data. Its comlex, but worth the effort.
There are other solutions for PHP and CF, but no extensions,
so will
need some serious coding.

Creating the index takes forever

Hi,
I'm trying to index ~1100 PDF documents, who size varies between 20KB and 4MB, those PDF are stored in two directories on our Web server, so I use a URL_DATASTORE to get them. I have a column that contains the correct URL to the PDF, the column is a VARCHAR2(2000). 55% of documents are in French, the 45% remaining are English documents. I created this set of preferences :
begin
ctx_ddl.create_preference('AAPDF_DATA_PREF','URL_DATASTORE');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('AAPDF_DATA_PREF','NO_PROXY','acaiq.com');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('AAPDF_DATA_PREF','Timeout','60');
end;
begin
ctx_ddl.create_preference('LEXIQUE_ANGLAIS','BASIC_LEXER');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('LEXIQUE_ANGLAIS','index_themes','no');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('LEXIQUE_ANGLAIS','index_text','yes');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('LEXIQUE_ANGLAIS','theme_language','english');
end;
begin
ctx_ddl.create_preference('LEXIQUE_FRANCAIS','BASIC_LEXER');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('LEXIQUE_FRANCAIS','index_themes','no');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('LEXIQUE_FRANCAIS','index_text','yes');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('LEXIQUE_FRANCAIS','theme_language','french');
end;
begin
ctx_ddl.create_preference('LEXIQUE_GLOBAL','MULTI_LEXER');
ctx_ddl.add_sub_lexer('LEXIQUE_GLOBAL','DEFAULT','LEXIQUE_ANGLAIS');
ctx_ddl.add_sub_lexer('LEXIQUE_GLOBAL','french','LEXIQUE_FRANCAIS','fre');
end;
begin
ctx_ddl.create_preference('PREF_FUZZY', 'BASIC_WORDLIST');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('PREF_FUZZY','FUZZY_MATCH','FRENCH');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('PREF_FUZZY','FUZZY_SCORE','30');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('PREF_FUZZY','FUZZY_NUMRESULTS','200');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('PREF_FUZZY','SUBSTRING_INDEX','TRUE');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('PREF_FUZZY','STEMMER','FRENCH');
end;
And I created the index with this DML :
CREATE INDEX ACAIQ.aapdf_index ON AA_PDF(AAPDF_CONTENU) INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.context PARALLEL 1 PARAMETERS ('datastore AAPDF_DATA_PREF lexer LEXIQUE_GLOBAL language column AAPDF_LANGUE_ISO wordlist PREF_FUZZY memory 10M');
The problem is that it takes forever to create the index. I started the create process yesterday after lunch, and it still running :-/ I looked at my Web server logs and I do see my Oracle server fetching the PDF, but it fetch ~12 PDF per hour.
I'm doing this on our test server, it's a P4 1.4 Ghz with RedHat Linux 8 and Oracle 9i 9.2.02. It's not a fast server, but still I don't think it's normal to take 24 hours to index about 1 GB of data.

I recreated the index with a 50M memory parameter instead of 10M. It don't speed up the process, in 40 minutes it only indexed 17 documents.
vmstat stats when indexing the PDF documents :

Using Automator to Batch Create PDFs

I've been trying to find a way to make an Automator workflow that will take the name of a folder and combine it's files into a PDF with as little manual input as possible and have finally figured out how to do so. I've seen others ask how to do this for a while so I wanted to share how I did it.
Why would you want to create PDFs? If you have scanned books, photos, documents or anything else on your Mac, you can create PDFs out of them. You can then store these in iTunes and either read them using Preview on your Mac or iBooks on your iOS device.
What this workflow will do:
Take a folder with images, get the folder's name, and create a PDF of the images with it's name.
On the next pass of the workflow, it will send the previous folder to the trash.
Create/have a backup of your files!
Create a folder somewhere that you can drop your folders in. Name it Automator Dropbox. You can create one wherever you want, but this workflow was created with Automator Dropbox in mind so you'll need to change it as necessary.
Open Automator and create a new workflow.
Find Finder Items
- Search Automator Dropbox
- [All] of the following are true:
- [Label] is [Red]
This will search for any folders that were done before.
Move Finder Items to Trash
This will move the previous folder/files to the trash.
Ask for Finder Items
- Prompt: [Choose a Folder]
- Start at: Automator Dropbox
- Type: [Folders]
This will ask you to choose the next item to convert to PDF.
Set Value of Variable
- Variable: pdfvariable
This will take the name of the folder you just selected and use it to to rename your PDF.
Label Finder Items
- [Red]
This will mark the folder you're working on for deletion the next time the workflow is ran.
Get Folder Contents
This will grab all the image files within the folder so that it can create a PDF out of them.
Scale Images
- To size (pixels): 1600
This will scale the maximum dimension of your image down (or up) to 1600px. I find this to be the sweet spot for performance on the iPad 3, and it looks just fine. If the maximum dimension of your image is lower than 1600px, I'd create a duplicate workflow of this and leave out this step; otherwise you will be upscaling and your image won't look as good. You can also leave this step out if you want your original image size kept, but on the iPad 3 and below there will be a delay going from page to page.
New PDF From Images
- Save Output to: [Desktop]
- Output File Name: tempname
This will save your finalized PDF to the Desktop. You can change this to whatever you want; I would suggest the Automatically Add to iTunes folder located in [Music > iTunes > iTunes Media > Automatically Add to iTunes]. You will find your PDF in the Books category in iTunes.
Rename Finder Items
- [Replace Text]
- Find: tempname in [Full Name]. Ignore Case checked.
- Replace: [pdfvariable] (Drag pdfvariable from the variables window into the text field for "Replace". If you don't see the variables, go to "View > Variables."
You can't just drag the variable into the PDF name field in the step above, so this extra step is necessary. It will rename your PDF with the name of the folder it was created from. It will also add the full file path, which will be taken care of in the next step.
Rename Finder Items
- [Replace Text]
- Find: Users/yourname/Documents/Automator Dropbox in [Full Name]. Ignore Case checked.
- Replace: LEAVE EMPTY
This will delete the name of the path from the name of your PDF. If your working folder is not Documents/Automator Dropbox, change it to whatever that is.
If you're running this workflow on a bunch of folders, you can simply keep your cursor over the workflow's play button and press the right arrow + enter to select the next item in queue. This workflow was made for using a little human interaction as possible, so if anyone has suggestions on how to improve on it please post below.
One last thing - if you're seeing a red folder when you run the workflow to choose a folder, it's because spotlight hasn't indexed it yet and the workflow could not find it to delete it. Just go on to the next item.

Someone (not me) has created an automator workflow that does this, using a shell script that runs the "pstopdf" unix command. I just downloaded it and tested it on 10 .eps files. You will need to edit the first automator action in the workflow to find the eps files you want (by default it looks for all eps files on your computer), but once you do that, it works like a charm! Converted my eps files to pdf's. Of course, once they are pdf files, you can use automator to convert them to whatever format you want.
