Print all tif files in a folder with adobe pdf printer

[karthikcoep]

I have created a test folder with two files with .tif extension (I have hundreds of .tif files, these two were just for testing the code).

I want to convert these .tif files to .pdf files.

I have set adobe acrobat as my default printer.

I have written the following code

expandcollapse popup

#cs ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    AutoIt Version: 3.3.6.1
    Author:         myName

    Script Function:
    Template AutoIt script.

#ce ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

; Script Start - Add your code below here#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-q -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6

Global $hSearch = FileFindFirstFile("*.tif"), $sFile, $sFile1
If $hSearch = -1 Then Exit MsgBox(0, "Error", "No PDF files were found in the current directory.")
While 1
    $sFile = FileFindNextFile($hSearch)
    $sFile1 = StringTrimRight($sFile, 3) & "pdf"
    If @error Then Exit
    ShellExecute($sFile)
    WinWaitActive($sFile & " - Windows Picture and Fax Viewer", "")
    Send("^p")
    WinWaitActive("Photo Printing Wizard", "")
    Send("!n")
    WinWaitActive("Photo Printing Wizard", "")
    Send("!n")
    WinWaitActive("Photo Printing Wizard", "")
    Send("!n")
    WinWaitActive("Photo Printing Wizard", "")
    Send("!n")
    WinWaitActive("Photo Printing Wizard", "")
    ControlSend("Save PDF File As","","[CLASS:Edit; Instance:1]",@ScriptDir & "\" & StringTrimRight($sFile, 3) & "pdf")
    ControlClick("Save PDF File As", "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:2]")
    WinActivate($sFile1 & " - Adobe Acrobat Pro", "")
    WinWaitActive($sFile1 & " - Adobe Acrobat Pro", "")
    Send("^q")
    WinWaitActive("Photo Printing Wizard", "")
    ControlClick("Photo Printing Wizard", "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:8]")
    WinActivate($sFile & " - Windows Picture and Fax Viewer", "")
    WinClose($sFile & " - Windows Picture and Fax Viewer", "")

WEnd

The code executes properly and the first pdf is saved. Then the second tif file is opened but the code execution pauses when the window "save pdf file as" activates.

Where did I go wrong,,

Does the pdf printer default to a standard filename? If so, the second would be the same as the first, perhaps causing it to hang waiting for your input re next filename.
