To fix it you need to add quoted spaces round $szSavePath:

... cat output "\"$szSavePath\""

You can also avoid the problem by using a bash arrayfor the PDFs. This means that you can get rid of the eval with is causing the trouble. I'd post an example but the forum "unformats" the code making it hard tio read!

in your code, ad a single quote to the sample filename path, ie if you had %d%f in your code you'd put

'%d%f'

instead of

%d%f

try it, i may be wrong tho.
