Thank you!
I used zenity to add graphical input and output prompts:
convert -density 150 "$(zenity --file-selection --title="Select Input File" --file-filter=*[PpDdFf])" -rotate "$([ $((RANDOM % 2)) -eq 1 ] && echo -)0.$(($RANDOM % 4 + 5))" -attenuate 0.4 +noise Multiplicative -attenuate 0.03 +noise Multiplicative -sharpen 0x1.0 -colorspace Gray "$(zenity --file-selection --save --title="Select Output File" --filename ".pdf")"

Can also be found here as a .desktop file, so the script can be started from the starter on Linux machines:
