(file beginning with a dot) the resulting pdf would haveīeen '/Volumes/foobar/Links/.pdf' instead of '/Volumes/foobar/Links/.Readme.pdf' prevent creation of stray dot files: in the original version if we had a file like '/Volumes/foobar/Links/.Readme'.The resulting pdf would have been '/Volumes/foobar/Links 1.pdf' Like '/Volumes/foobar/Links 1.0/Readme' (file with no extension and a folder name with a dot)

prevents creation of incorrect destination paths: in the original version if we had a file.conversion of doc/docx documents to rtf then to pdf, removing the temporary file.

Here is a more robust version of the script: pdf extension set AppleScript's text item delimiters to '.' set outputFilePathBits to text items of inputFilePath set last text item of outputFilePathBits to 'pdf' set outputFilePath to outputFilePathBits as text - create convert command and send to shell set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ' ' set cmdList to. On open theFiles set oldTID to AppleScript's text item delimiters repeat with thisFile in theFiles - get file path as posix path set inputFilePath to POSIX path of thisFile - create output path - same name with.
