Good news and other news. I was able to convert the .png files to .pdf via drag/drop and file the ICLA.
I was unable to convert the .gif files to .pdf via drag/drop. Exception: #<RuntimeError: Failed to concatenate ICLA-YuriGor-1.gif and ICLA-YuriGor-2.gif> I was unable to convert the .gif files to .pdf via Edit pdf-ize. Exception: #<RuntimeError: Failed to pdf-ize ICLA-YuriGor-1.gif in /secretary/workbench/201810/4f1be03a74/> I was unable to rotate the .gif files. There is the original (forwarded .gif) message in secretary mail in-box. I'll leave it there until you tell me that you no longer want to try to fix it.
