Batch Convert and Renaming Files within 2 or 3 Step Folder Structure. [Please See]

Asked by super786 in Windows Batch Scripting, Miscellaneous Programming, Adobe Acrobat

Hello Gurus,

I have a Master Folder called Ultrasound.
In this master folder I have several other SubFolders (like Folder1, Folder2, Folder3, etc: about a 100)
In EACH Subfolder there is always 1 or many ChildFolders (so Folder1-->Childfolder; Folder2-->ChildFolder1, Childfolder2; Folder3-->ChildFolder1, ChildFolder2, ChildFolder3; Folder4-->ChildFolder1, ChildFolder2 and so on)
IN EACH ChildFolder there is 1 or many JPEGs or BMPs (and they have names like "12.51.00 hrs Image__[0000473].jpeg" or "20.22.11 hrs Image__[0000458].jpeg" or "Image256.BMP" - really random)

So the File Structure is as follows:

UltraSound
       |______Folder1
       |                 |
       |                 |_______ChildFolder1
       |                                       |
       |                                       |___________Imagename.jpg
       |                                       |
       |                                       |___________Imagename2.jpg
       |                                       |
       |                                       |___________Imagename.BMP
       |
       |
       |______Folder2
       |                 |
       |                 |_______ChildFolder1
       |                                       |
       |                                       |___________Imagename.jpeg
       |                                       |
       |                                       |___________Imagename2.BMP
       |                                       |
       |                                       |___________Imagename3.JPEG
       |______Folder3
       |                 |
       |                 |_______ChildFolder1
       |                 |                      |
       |                 |                      |___________Imagename.jpeg
       |                 |                      |
       |                 |                      |___________Imagename2.jpeg
       |                 |
       |                 |_______ChildFolder2
       |                 |                      |
       |                 |                      |___________Imagename.BMP
       |                 |                      |
       |                 |                      |___________Imagename2.jpeg
       |            Folder3.1
       |                 |
       |                 |_______ChildFolder1
       |                                       |
       |                                       |___________Imagename.BMP
       |                                       |
       |                                       |___________Imagename2.jpeg

and so on....



Here's what I want to be able to do:

I want all filenames in each ChildFolder to be combined as 1 PDF file(regardless of whether they are Jpegs or Bmps). If there are images in one single ChildFolder, they need to be combined as ONE PDF. Please note that Images from one ChildFolder should NEVER get mixed with images from another ChildFolder.

So Gurus, Is there a way to do this in one shot? A VB script? A Bat file? Please hit me back. This is a weekly task I have to run. Please note that if you have to write a scrip to include adobe, then I use Adobe Acrobat Pro v8.0
