I have thousands of JPGs (old OS X screenshots) I would like to convert to individual PDF's - one PDF per image file preferably using OS X Automator. This is in preparation for setting up an automated OCR using Hazel & PDFPEn Pro which will process the old backlog & any new incoming screenshots.
...the plan is that all future screenshots will be PDF format and automatically converted into searchable OCR PDFs so I can find content within them easily using Spotlight.
I am trying to create an Automator application to just drag the files onto, but after researching other similar StackExchange questions such as How can I convert JPG into PDF easily? ...I am only able to create a single PDF from all the images selected, which is not what I require.
It would be fantastic if someone could help me figure out how to create an Automator workflow/application to batch process images into a single PDF per image.
convert
command to process the files. IMO That is going to be the fastest way to handle such a large number of files.ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" < /dev/null 2> /dev/null
thenbrew install imagemagick
. I tried following a video tutorial youtube.com/watch?v=LWwdNoh2aIA then realised it wasn't working...brew install ghostscript
and now it is working. I usedmogrify -format pdf *jpg
which seems to have done the trick!
