Duplicating output Grrr

Sorry if this has been posted other places. Im running automator to do the following:
Find Finder items that contain MLS in the name
Run Applescript
set sourceFolder to choose folder with prompt “choose source folder”
set destinationFolder to choose folder with prompt “choose destination folder”
tell application “Finder”
set allAliases to every alias file of sourceFolder
repeat with oneAlias in allAliases
duplicate (get original item of oneAlias) to destinationFolder
end repeat
end tell
Run Applescript
property theList : {“doc”, “docx”}

 on run {input, parameters}
set output to {}
tell application "Microsoft Word" to set theOldDefaultPath to get default file path file path type documents path
repeat with x in input
	try
		set theDoc to contents of x
		tell application "Finder"
			set theFilePath to container of theDoc as text
			
			set ext to name extension of theDoc
			if ext is in theList then
				set theName to name of theDoc
				copy length of theName to l
				copy length of ext to exl
				
				set n to l - exl - 1
				copy characters 1 through n of theName as string to theFilename
				
				set theFilename to theFilename & ".pdf"
				
				tell application "Microsoft Word"
					set default file path file path type documents path path theFilePath
					open theDoc
					set theActiveDoc to the active document
					save as theActiveDoc file format format PDF file name theFilename
					copy (POSIX path of (theFilePath & theFilename as string)) to end of output
					close theActiveDoc
				end tell
			end if
		end tell
	end try
end repeat
tell application "Microsoft Word" to set default file path file path type documents path path theOldDefaultPath


return output
  end run

Move Finder items to Specific Folder

The short of it is I need to grab alias files, turn them into pdf’s, and place them somewhere else. The great thing is that it works, but I’m getting a duplicated output on my desktop…???
CONFESSION: complete newbie, no programming experience. I found the scripts above from other posts.
