I have an automator flow that looks like this:
1. Ask for Finder Items
2. Combine PDF pages
I expect there to be a step 3, something like "Save PDF File", but I
can't seem to figure out how to do it. In fact, I can't figure out how
to do anything useful with the results of #2 (Print, Attach, etc.)
It took me a while, but I found out that the combined pdf is placed in
the /tmp directory, which is what I'm using as a workaround.
The "Combine PDF Pages" action outputs a reference to the newly created
PDF file. So, you can add actions after the "Combine PDF Pages" action
to process the new PDF. For example, you could use the "Move Finder
Items" action to move the new PDF to the desktop (NOTE: Automator will
display the mismatched output/input values in red, but it still should
work in this case). Then, you could use the "Rename Finder Items"
action to rename the file on the desktop. You could also use the "New
Mail Message" action to create a new message in Mail, with the new PDF
as an attachment.
Hope this helps.
