Acrobat 6 TIFF to PDF

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

I’d like to create a single PDF from mulitple TIFF files using Acrobat 6 and AppleScript on OS X. If I have Acrobat open mulitple TIFF files, a dialog box appears asking about single or multi page creation. The default is “Yes” multi page which is what I’d like. How can I code Acrobat to either avoid this dialog box or answer “Yes” to it?

The Acrobat dictionary explains the “open” command and mentions: [options: string]. Does anyone know what “string” options are available for the “open” command?

Does anyone know of another product which would can produce multi page PDFs from TIFF files?

Thanks,

Imagemagick will do it too, it’s also free.

After unsucessfully trying to install version 6 of ImageMagick (There’s a problem with the libraries which I couldn’t figure out.) I found out that there is an installer for version 5.5.7. Much easier and sure enough it does what I’m looking for. I’m going to investigate PDFmerge today.

Thanks to you both!
