The action “Run AppleScript” encountered an error: “Can’t make "Macintosh HD:Users:andrewmanger:Documents:Career:MangerStudios:Portfolio:Online Portfolio:Project Cleanup:SlideDoc_Elpis Consulting.pdf" into type alias.”

I get the above error every time I try to use this quick action. I think the error is with this line, but I don't know how to fix it. Any help?

set end of theOutput to pdfPath as alias

The same error has occurred for me as well.
Try copying the files to a simple path (e.g., local desktop), and running the quick action to pasted files.
In my case, it worked. Maybe the file path should follow some rule, an authorization issue exists, or something else is required..

I belive this error happens when the root folder is iCloud, so if your desktop or documents folder is backed up to iCloud the path will contain iCloud but if you use a local file path (for me thats downloads) then the script runs fine.
