Actually, the one Dwayne's referring to has both Transcript and Applescript
versions, but you only need to implement one. The Transcript one only works
in OS X and is as follows (watch line wraps):

on mouseUp
  answer file "Select a file:"
  if it is not empty then
    put it into tSrcPath
    put tPath & ".pdf" into tDestPath
    put "/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/convert" into tConvertApp
    get shell(tConvertApp && "-f" && tSrcPath && "-o" && tDestPath &&
"-j application/pdf")
  end if
end mouseUp
