I have run into a problem with your script, however--when attempting to do lit2pdf, with some of my files, it says that the "author" is a missing value so it can't create the quoted form of it... I think this might be a problem in the part of the script that uses perl, but I'm not very familiar with Applescript yet.

Well... huh. That shouldn't happen; every time I try to create the quoted form of the author, I check to make sure it isn't a missing value first.
If you run it from inside Script Editor, you should be able to copy and paste the exact error message from the event log tab at the bottom.
If you could tell me exactly where it is failing, or better yet, send me a copy of the file it is failing on, that'd be great.
Edit to add: Reading PDFs on the Reader is awful. It seems ok or merely poor at first, but towards the end of a novel-length PDF, the page turns take far too long to be usable, sadly. I don't know that I'd bother adding PDF support to the script if I hadn't already, and I'd really suggest using RTF. (Not to say that I won't fix the script - if I can find the problem I certainly will - just that you may decide after converting all these files that you'd rather have them in RTF anyway. Well, unless they have images...)
