RE: [PDFdev] PDF to TIFF

[Campbell, Christopher]

You might check out "ImageMagick" (www.imagemagick.com).  It is a free product and can convert from/to many different formats both via command line and through an API.  You may also need Ghostscript installed to be able to read PDF's and convert to TIFF.  For that matter, Ghostscript may be all you need (www.ghostscript.com).  It has everything you need to perform conversions from the command line but the API is a little harder to implement in a program.  We are using it to resize and convert PDF's to JPEG thumbnails. From: Viswanath (CAE) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2003 2:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, I have a bunch of PDF's to be converted into TIFF with specifications of getting 600 dpi, 85 line screen, Halftone and G4 Compression. On the whole I couldn't get any software/tool that can do the job automatically. One of my friend suggested to route the PDF's directly to TIFF using Acrobat V5.0 or higher and then process them via Photoshop. Finally, use windows imaging for G4 compression. Does anybody has an idea reading software/tool/plugin that can do batch processing without manual intervention. Is there any automation possible with Photoshop to incorporate the above indicate features at a click of a button. Regards, Viswanath.
