I have a powershell script that I frankensteined together that looks at a folder for newly added files, then moves those files to another folder that then gets converted using ghostscript to a .tif. After that all .pdf's get moved to a PDF folder and all tiffs get moved to a TIF folder. When complete it makes a log entry to a txt file. Any new files that get dropped into the Import folder trigger this script to run again.

The issues I'm having:

1. The converted Tiffs have "TIF" in front of the file name, I do not want that, just the same name as the pdf it was created from.


2. When a second file is converted it creates a copy of the last converted file and sticks it in the root folder. Not sure why that is. But I only want one copy of the tif, and it to be put in the TIF folder.

Hope someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong!

Code:

### SET FOLDER TO WATCH + FILES TO WATCH + SUBFOLDERS YES/NO

   $watcher = New-Object System.IO.FileSystemWatcher

    $watcher.Path = "C:FolderImport"

    $watcher.Filter = "*.*"

    $watcher.IncludeSubdirectories = $false

    $watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = $true  



### DEFINE ACTIONS AFTER AN EVENT IS DETECTED

    $action = { 



    $path = $Event.SourceEventArgs.FullPath

                $changeType = $Event.SourceEventArgs.ChangeType

                $logline = "$(Get-Date), $changeType, $path"

                Add-content "C:Folderlog.txt" -value $logline



                    #Path to your Ghostscript EXE

                $tool = 'C:Program Filesgsgs9.26bingswin64c.exe'

                    #Directory containing the PDF files that will be converted

                $inputDir       = 'C:Folder'

                    #.pdf Files

                $pdfDir         = 'C:Folder*.pdf'

                    #.tif Files

                $tifDir         = 'C:Folder*.tif'

                    #Directory catchall for all incoming files.

                $dumpDir        = 'C:FolderImport*.*'

                    #Output path where converted PDF files will be stored

                $pdfOutputDir   = 'C:FolderPDF'

                    #Output path where the TIF files will be saved

                $tifOutputDir   = 'C:FolderTIF'



Get-ChildItem -Path $dumpDir -Recurse -File | Move-Item -Destination $inputDir

$pdfs = get-childitem $inputDir -recurse | where {$_.Extension -match "pdf"}



foreach($pdf in $pdfs)

{

    $tif = $tifOutputDir + $pdf.BaseName + ".tif"

    if(test-path $tif)

    {

        "tif file already exists " + $tif

    }

    else        

    {   

        'Processing ' + $pdf.Name        

        $param = "-sOutputFile=$tif"

        & $tool -q -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=tiffg4 $param -r300 $pdf.FullName -c quit

    }

Get-ChildItem -Path $pdfDir -Recurse -File | Move-Item -Destination $pdfOutputDir

Get-ChildItem -Path $tifDir -Recurse -File | Move-Item -Destination $tifOutputDir   

}



              }    

### DECIDE WHICH EVENTS SHOULD BE WATCHED 

    Register-ObjectEvent $watcher "Created" -Action $action

    while ($true) {sleep 5}
