Would like to see the ability to have a stamp workflow to stamp a PDF with a custom image. e.g. approve / Reject etc

I don't know what the issue is, but all commands work except for Optimize. Can't figure out what's going on. 🤔

Version numbers
macOS Catalina Version 10.15.7
Alfred 4.6.6 [1303]

Description of the bug
When I try to run Alfred PDF Tools I get an error loading Python lib.
Is it because (as you can see in the error code) it says Python was built for Mac OS X 12.0? How do I fix this?

To reproduce
The same error seems to occur with any of the workflows. The example below if for when I try to merge two PDFs.

It seems like to be very useful alfred workflow. However, I can not find it working.

I tried hitting keywords like "optimize", "encrypt", "merge" etc in alfred, alfred shows other files
and options but not this workflow options.

My question is how to use this workflow?

Attempt:
selected a pdf file in finder.
opened alfred
typed split, I did not get split command from this workflow

This workflow is not working at all in the latest public release version of macOS Monterey. When I try to perform any function of this workflow, say- Split by page count or merge of PDF's, absolutely nothing happens. No Output, No notifications, nothing. This is happening with all the function of this workflow

Describe the bug
When I try to use any file action from alfred-pdf-tools I get the message that Apple can't open the file because it can't look out for malware

Looks like there's something wrong with one of the pdfs!? How can I enable debugging of the workflow or the Python scripts??

Describe the bug
I have tried using "Encrypt", "Merge", "Split by Page Count", "Slice in Multiple Files" via Alfred action, but nothing happened. I did understand it utilizes action instead of keywords, and I didn't change anything as well. I have also tried using different PDFs, still nothing happened.

To reproduce
I searched the PDF I wanted to apply action to via Alfred file search, then by pressing ^ (i.e. control key) towards the selected PDF to trigger the action, choosing specific actions mentioned above, then press "enter / return" on it, sadly nothing happened. All the workflow actions mentioned above gave the same ERROR message below.

Tried setting path
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin:/usr/local/bin:${PATH}" but didnt work. please help

Given Alfred v3.1 - Build 718
And Alfred PDF Tools v 1.1.3
When I want to Splitan PDF using Alfred by typing this command into it
Then no Alfred PDF Tools are shown in the DropDown

What am I doing wrong?

I hope these Screenshots are useful.

Is there any information is missing?

I am using alfred-pdf-tools and find it really cool!

Just by curiosity, I was wondering if you had considered using Coherent Graphics PDF Tools:
https://github.com/coherentgraphics/cpdf-binaries
https://github.com/oncletom/homebrew-cpdf
http://community.coherentpdf.com

I am just curious to know whether it would make sense to use cpdf and how it compares with the libraries PyPDF2 and K2pdfopt used by alfred-pdf-tools.

Work flow not working when pdf files selected form different paths.
"Can't merge pdf files from different paths."

This workflow is not working on Monterey 12.3.1. Please update it as this is an integral part of my daily workflow.

Thanks in advance for helping a technological illiterate person here

So far I have only been able to crop the first page of a 2 column pdf, even if that file is 10 pages.

I would really like to be able to extract images of a PDF using this alfred workflow.

I've look at the documentation for pypdf and it's an existing feature : https://pypdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/extract-images.html. Note this requires the installation of an additional dependency pip install pypdf[image].

As a suggestion for implementation details I would suggest all images are extracted in a folder that has the name of the PDF file, without its extension.

Hi there,

Thank you for building the worfklow. I can't seem to merge more than two files. When I try doing so, I get the "naming" prompt but the new file does not appear anywhere nor appears to have been executed according to the Notifications pane.

Best,

Hey.

As soon as I installed Alfred 3 I have downloaded your workflow. I think it might help me a lot on daily tasks. However I can't get it to work and I have already tried a million different ways.

I have installed it without changing any settings. Once I choose a PDF document on Finder I Double Tap Ctrl (hotkey for file selection) and choose SPLIT option from your workflow and then enter the max # of pages. Nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong? Screenshots in attach.
