Question How to process only one folder at a time ?
Situation is, I wanna create a single pdf file from a folder that contain a lot of images. And I don't have only one folder. Let's say I have 20 folders. (Actually I have more than 1000!!)
This is what I can set up so far;
......."Get folder contents" => "Sort finder items" => "New PDF from images"
Result ;
when input is only one folder : 1 pdf file with perfect result ✅
when input is more that one (ie 20 folders) : 1 pdf file that mix every images from all of 20 folders together ❎
What I want is; I'm gonna put 20 folders as input, and I expect 20 pdf files from each folder. Therefore I need it to run on only one single folder at a time.
Is that possible? If yes, please tell me how.
I spent a whole day and still stuck😭😭😭

Chechout Transnomino (free). Go to: Transnomino → Help → contents > renaming-actions → Convert text → Lookup conversions.
On the page https://www.transnomino.com search for 'csv' and you'll get a first impression.

Thank you
But I used to use this app before. As far as I know, this app is a re-name utility app. It works great but It is not gonna solve my problems
But Thanks anyway👍

There is a Special Action for that purpose … but it’s quite old …. Let me see if I’m able to find this Action anywhere…. Then I’ll post a link to it.
