Re: TIFF to PDF conversion

Hi Nuke,

Here is a handler which is based on a script I got from this list. It works for TIFF, JPEG, PICT, GIF and I think RTF as well.

on convertToPDF(thePOSIXFilePath)
try
set terminalCommand to ""
set convertCommand to "/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/./convert "
if text item -4 of thePOSIXFilePath is "." then
set newFileName to (text items 1 thru -5 of thePOSIXFilePath & ".pdf") as string
else
set newFileName to thePOSIXFilePath & ".pdf"
end if
set terminalCommand to convertCommand & "-f " & "\"" & thePOSIXFilePath & "\"" & " -o " & "\"" & newFileName & "\"" & " -j \"application/pdf\"" & " ; rm " & quoted form of thePOSIXFilePath
do shell script terminalCommand
tell application "Finder" to update file (POSIX file newFileName)
end try
end convertToPDF
