I found an standard Automator script that takes loads of files and outputs a PDF from them.
I can't remember where I found it now.

I wanted to try copying books of music into pdf format. One friend had some success by taking photos with a small camera and then converting them to black and white pdf format. My question, on a Mac what would be the best way to convert say 50 photos into 50 pdfs or indeed one multi page pdf? I would need to do this for lots of books of music. So a time saving method would be welcome. CC |

Launch Automator and do something like this CC: Clicky Find the first item under "Finder" on the far left and drag it to the left, then you can see what I chose for converting to PDF. Save as follows: File > Save as plug-in... Make sure Finder is selected and give it a name... Use the script by selecting(highlighting) the image icons, ctrl-click > more > automator > script-name You may like to play with the settings  HTH

I think Sibelius can also scan scores using Photoscore, if you've already got that CC. Would give you a more editable format, if you wanted to tinker with them a bit. Edd |

It can, but is not that good really. There are a lot of errors in the transcription and many ornaments and symbols are not recognised. You also have to have a particular strain of TWAIN to make it work at all. I have not tried the latest version of PS but I have the previous one and I was not that impressed. Thanks for the thought though. The aim of this exercise is to have a rough copy of the music to hand to the student who is learning to sing it. They then mark on where to breath, where the tricky intervals are and suchlike. I will have all the pdfs tagged up in YEP for easy access. CC |
