Here’s an overview of what I’m trying to do:
I am the grad assistant for student media at my university. Right now we’re working on a project archiving all of our old newspapers and yearbooks and offer them online for download.
The newer, typeset papers are still in pretty good shape, and we’re going to run OCR on them later. However, the really old ones from the 1920’s were typed on a typewriter and mimeographed, so the quality is pretty bad. You can see what I’m dealing with here–(this is just a preliminary website):

We want to offer an easy way for computer-illiterate people to download high-res, full-page images and print them out. My idea is to use Photoshop to scale the original images down somewhat and to save them as Photoshop PDF files. This way, I can combine entire editions into one PDF with Acrobat and our readers can easily and quickly download, read and print full-page documents.
Here’s where I’m running into a problem. I’ll start a new action, and record everything I want it to do. However, when I batch process a whole folder, it saves a TIFF–not a PDF–into the output folder. When I recorded the action, it saved a PDF in the output folder, so I’m confused.
I’d really appreciate any help y’all can offer.
Thanks,
Adam
