Converting Multiple page Tiff to PDF

[penfold]

I've got a member of staff who has a multiple page tiff document which they want in PDF. I have tried converting it using IrfanView but when I run the convertor it produces the error that it cant save the new file. Any ideas why, or alternatively any ideas of any other(free) software I can use to convert it? I am running ver 4.3 btw.

Could just use a PDF printer. You know the type where you download and install the program and it gives you a virtual printer that saves your documents in PDF format.

Have a look at Cute PDF. It should do the job

I ended up doing this...although I've noticed a few of the pages are at 90 from the origninal doc so I hope they dont want each page rotated!!

 

I also downloaded imagemagick but it crashed on the first run

If you have access to a Mac, you could try SIPS (it comes with OS X as standard from 10.4 onwards). e.g.

 

sips -s format pdf ~/Desktop/Source/*.tif --out ~/Desktop/Destination

I used this to convert literally several million multipage TIFF files to PDF (they originally started in some obscure Canon format)

 

Informatik Inc. - Universal utility for multi-page graphics conversions. Batch processing.

There are plenty of useful image programs, but ImageMagick is what I preferred for converting tiff to pdf. Certainly, it should depend on what job you're doing."

Just had this issue today. Printing the TIFF files resulted in blank pages. Converting with Cute PDF resulted in blank pages in the PDF file too. Gave up on windows and uploaded the TIFF files to a linux server with ImageMagick installed as @CyberNerd suggests. I used

mogrify -format pdf *.tiff

rather than convert as I had to builk convert about 40 of the damn things. Outputted functional PDFS just fine. Waiting on the end user to see if they actually print of course.

I know, but I had useful information to add and this is the top hit on google when looking for solutions to this problem.
