I will potentially have 26k of old legacy PICT images to transfer first to PDF for migration. I am using Apple Automator and also the "Dispense Items Incrementally" to loop through it. However, I can't seem to let "New PDF from Images" to remember the original filename. Anyone able to offer some advice :)
FYI, I am transforming it to PDF because I can't do it using ImageMagick to convert directly to my ultimate JPEG format. Due to the fact that my PICT was created very long ago and thus has some convert: improper image header
error. See this ticket for more information.
Thus I am doing a intermediate convert PICT to PDF first, then convert that PDF to JPEG :)
The only thing left is the naming of the "Output File Name" which do not allow me to identify original filename.
