Hi - I have an Automator script whereby if you drop screenshots (or any image) into an action folder, it coverts and combines them into a single pdf. The script runs perfectly as a standalone Automator script.

When I tell Hazel to run the same Automator script, it duplicates the final pdf.

Any idea why this would be?

Thanks.

Can you post the rule you are using? I'm guessing your rule does not filter out the output of the script but can't be sure unless I see the rule.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was actually able to figure out a workaround. I started by making the Automator script into an application and then used the following Applescript to open the Automator application:

tell application "Images to PDF Converter"
activate
end tell

Then I told Hazel to run the Applescript whenever a file was dropped into the action folder.

It works the same as going through the Automator script directly, but now I can do everything through Hazel.

Thanks.
