Open specific folder containing pdf files

Question

I have a folder containing only pdf files. All of them are 2437 single-page pdf documents. I use Photoshop java script to open and print these files. The script opens my specific folder's Open dialog and I can select one of pdf.

But sometimes when opening, Photoshop changes size of pdf image !

So I need a script to open specific directory and open/select only documents with "*.pdf" extensions and To keep the size of pdf unchanged, with original size.

Can anyone help me?

P.S.: Now I use this script:

var dir = Folder('F:/Personal');
var files = dir.openDlg('This is always the same folder?','',true);
if( files !=null ){
for(var f = 0;f< files.length;f++){
// really should check that the file object is an image file
// that Photoshop can open
open(files[f]);
}
}

How to change this script or to write new one?

A script can filter by file type. however if you will be using a system File Open dialog there are differences between Platforms though so the file open dialog code must be coded to handle Mac and Windows systems. I also do not process PDF files with Photoshop Scripts for there seems to be different formats of PDF files some are opened directly by photoshop's File>Open where on other PDF files File>Open opens a Import PDF dialog where you can import Pages and Images into Photoshop Documents.

Paul Riggott has some PDF Processor scripts on the web you may want to look at PDF Processor script

The File.openDialog can filters for particular image file type however how it is done varies between Windows and Mac operating systems. Here is a files selection function I use to process image file types other than PDF,

function selectFile (multi) {   
	if (multi == true) {var theString = "please select files"}   
	else {var theString = "please select one file"};   
	if ($.os.search(/windows/i) != -1) {var theFiles = File.openDialog (theString, '*.nef;*.cr2;*.crw;*.dcs;*.raf;*.arw;*.orf;*.dng;*.psd;*.tif;*.tiff;*.jpg;*.jpe;*.jpeg;*.png;*.bmp', multi)}   
	else {var theFiles = File.openDialog (theString, getFiles, multi)};   
	////// filter files  for mac //////   
	function getFiles (theFile) {   
		if (theFile.name.match(/\.(nef|cr2|crw|dcs|raf|arw|orf|dng|psd|tif|tiff|jpg|jpe|jpeg|png|bmp)$/i) || theFile.constructor.name == "Folder") {  
			return true   
			};   
	};   
	return theFiles   
};
