Thanks Nick I already have it set up for ghostscript as it gives better results than imagemagick.
As the PDF's are mostly multi-page and ghostscript can generate multi-page TIFF from these, I can feed these directly into Tesseract. So I don't think pdfimages is an option as it spits out multiple files.
