10.5: Use Automator to create audiobooks from PDFs
I use the following script to batch convert every open document in TextEdit to speech, convert in iTunes to the current converter, and properly label the artist, album, track number, and lyrics (text of the document) using the first 3 lines of the text which are of the form:
Chapter #. This could easily be modified to work with Preview on PDF documents. I tried doing this in Preview, but it was too difficult to get the looping to work right. This script has a lot of "try" blocks to avoid the crashing of the script from timeout errors when TextEdit doesn't respond for a long time while it's converting. Hope this is helpful.
