I finally figured it out. ImageMagic makes incredibly nice (and small) tiff files, which you can manipulate in great detail. The only catch is it needs GS to access the pdf file. I seems that ImageMagic needs GS to be installed in the default location "C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.05\bin" (This could give you some problems if you're on a 64 bit system, see; http://www.wizards-toolkit.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?t=19272) The commandline I use: convert -density 300 -threshold 65% -compress fax input.pdf output.tif So you where right after all, anyone who needs to convert pdf to really nice tiff's for free, needs GS AND ImageMagic ;-) Kind regards! Hi admin,

If I remember correctly you'll need to convert your pdf to a Tiff g3 because g4 is not supported by ImageMagic and then use GS to conevrt it to g4. I agree that the resolution my not be perfect, You'll have to change the options on the command line, I don't have GS installed anymore so I'm not able to test it at this point. When calling pdf2tiff use this set of param pdf2tiff(‘a.pdf’,‘n.tif’,‘high’); Good luck Hi Liam,

Where or how does the ImageMagic come in? Only using gs works, but the quality isn't super. Is it possible to sharpen the resulting tiff?
