I'm trying to create a quick action workflow on Mac to turn a selection of multiple images into as much separate PDFs (one PDF per image). I also need to retain the filenames of each file.
I'd be glad to get any help I can on this. :)
Thanks !

This is my first question here, I tried to search for something like this, but couldn't find much.
So, I got about 200 old PSDS that have an outdated version of some images (Blurry and in low resolution), but they have text layers, and some retouching layers. And I managed to scan and get way better quality images, but I need to paste them one by one into the PSDS so I can align them and recycle the text and retouching layers, so I was wondering if there's a way to sorta automate the image copy-paste.
The file names are something like this:
old_psd_0001.psd, old_psd_0002.psd, old_psd_0003.psd...
new_png_0001.png, new_png_0002.png, new_png_0003.png...
I'm trying to do a copy pasting image script, all the other aligning and cropping work is automated with actions.
Thanks to anyone able to help.
I am trying to laser cut multiple signs, and I need to combine PDFs into a single PDF for import into AutoCAD. The signs are all the same shape, but I need to populate the different text/image for each in the frame.
I have experience with python, and I am open to learning a new tool/software to get this done in the easiest manner possible. I would love any guidance or advice on this project.
Here is a very basic picture of how I would like the final PDF to be.
The PDF toolkit (pdftk) can merge PDFs and change pagination and/or put multiple pages onto a single page.

I am writing an app that stitches iOS text message screen captures together vertically.
I have the images cropped to only contain the message bubbles and none of the navigation bar of the text input bar (expect the the first and last screencaps of course) but I don't know how to detect where to line up the images.
I need to detect where there is overlap in the conversations and then stitch the images at the point. (I know how to draw the images to a new image context too.)
I am looking for an open source framework that could help me achieve this and any advice as to how to accomplish this task.
Thanks!
You can also give a go to the following code:

While it might be overkill for your project, you could have a look at PanoTools: an Open Source software library for manipulating and stitching panoramic images. It's portable (Win/Lin/Mac), and if you're looking forward to making the stitching on your computer, GUIs to it like Hugin may even already fit your use case (I only used them for stitching photographs, so check the projection settings).
This is not strictly a programming question, but it's related to programming task I need to perform this in order to make an iPhone app.
I have a PDF file with a large image (say, a campus map) which I want to store as a PNG image to include as resource in the app. The image I want itself is much larger than the screen area (a lot larger, about 4000x4000 px). So I cannot just take a single screenshot of the PDF and save it as PNG. The only way I know to accomplish this is to take a number of screenshots of different parts of the image and manually stitch them together in an image editor. There will be 8-10 images to stitch together, if not more.
I wonder if anyone knows a more efficient way of doing this? Acrobat PDF reader does not allow this. Are there any tools or tricks in either Windows or MacOS I can use? Googling this did not bring anything that works.
It would also be an option to use the PDF directly, iOS has pretty good support for reading PDFs, see the ZoomingPDFViewer sample code from Apple for an example.
As for your actual question, I'm not sure if there are existing tools that do exactly what you want here (though I'd guess there are), but it would also be pretty easy to make a small Cocoa command-line tool that converts a PDF to a number of bitmap tiles using Core Graphics.
You could use Ghostscript to convert your pdf to a png.
A command like
gs -sDEVICE=png16m -r600 -o my_Map.png my_Map.pdf
would provide you a png from a pdf image.
I'm trying to make an iPhone application which can read PDFs in full screen and follow links on PDFs, but I can't find the right way to do it.
First, I tried to use an UIWebView to read the PDF file, but it doesn't work exactly as I wanted (I was not able to fix the link problem).
The second solution was to use the Quartz API to read the PDF. I took a look at http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Conceptual/drawingwithquartz2d/dq_pdf/dq_pdf.html, but i'm only able to print one page on the screen, and there is no way to jump to next pages.
Can someone help me ? I'm running out ideas :)
Thanks for your help
Quartz does not know how to change pages, click on links, etc. It only "draws" the PDF page you want - you will have to do all gestures by yourself (or use UIScrollView and such).
BTW, I guess your question is duplicated. Take a look at: Fast and Lean PDF Viewer for iPhone / iPad / iOs - tips and hints?
