Batch use of "Create PDF from Images"

Post by Realtime64 »

Hi!

I create a "Create PDF from Images" tool that works fine for one directory: All JPEGs are convertet to one PDF, the name is the foldername, e.g. "1986-10-04 Old Photos".

However, I have hundreds of directories with sometimes 10-100 JPEGs that need to be processed.

I would like "Folder Monitors" to go through these directories and create a PDF from the JPEGs in the respective directory.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to do this yet: A PDF is only ever created in the last directory with all the pictures that "Folder Monitors" has found.

Does anyone have an idea how I can do this?

Hello Mark,

So if I understood you correctly - you have a structure like this:

Main folder
Subfolder one
- image1
- image2
Subfolder two
- image3
- image4
...

And you want to end up with
Main folder
Subfolder one
- pdf1
Subfolder two
- pdf2
...

And not e.g. with a
Main folder
- pdf1 (containing all images from all subfolders)

Is that correct?
Then you might need some external script that will go through your folder structure and call our tool for each of the "subfolders" and process the images in that subfolder, then move on to the next with a new call to our tool.

Kind regards,
Stefan
