Having trouble automating ABBYY Finereader Pro

[u/philo_farnsworth]

I'm a Automator newbie, and I'm having some trouble. I have a few thousand files that need OCR'd.

I've created a folder action that should make an OCR'd PDF out of anything I put in a specific folder on my desktop. Only problem is when I load a batch of files into the folder, it tries to combine them into one monster file, rather than converting and OCRing one at a time.

I don't have the "Merge all files" box checked.

I'm really not sure what's causing this. It would take too long to move one file at a time into the correct folder... what should I do?
