Batch PDF Creation from Multiple Folders

Question

Hi folks, apologies first off if this has been asked previously.

I have a little over 1,100 folders, each containing anywhere from 8 to 32 JPEGs inside. I need to create a combined PDF for each of those folders. Is there a way to script this out, rather than manually navigating to each of those folders and creating a PDF one at a time?

Thank you!

It can be done using a combination of a script and an Action in Acrobat, but you would first need to run another Action to convert them to individual PDFs, and then the second Action will combine those PDFs to single files, one per folder.

I've developed this script as a (paid-for) tool, if you're interested:

I've also developed a stand-alone tool that can handle the conversion and merging in a single process, and is much more robust than a script. If you're interested in that one feel free to contact me privately (via a PM) to discuss it further.
