Convert PDF to Tiff

Automise Discussion
1

Hello,

When I use the convert PDF action to convert a PDF to a Tiff image, it says it completed successfully, but when I look at the newly created Tiff image it is completely messed up (black with lines going everywhere).  Should the pdf be in a certain version or format that Automise needs to run this action correctly?  I am attaching the result of one of the converted Tiffs.

Hi,

I was just wondering if this bug is still being looked at and when a fix would be available.

Thank you very much.

Hi

Sorry for not responding earlier. I did investigate this problem but must have got distracted before replying.

This issue seems to be a bug in the third party PDF conversion library that we are currently using. I will have to check what the current status of this library is to see if there are any updates available.

In the mean time you can use a workaround by converting the PDF to a jpeg and then use the Image Manipulation action to convert this jpeg to a tiff file.

Regards,
Steve

You could also make a call to a Ghostscript or Imagemagick .command line and rip it out yourself - you have way more control and options. If you use Imagemagick (which is a great tool) it makes the call to Ghostscript itself to handle the PDF extraction before manipulating the extracted image. Also check if the PDF is using CMYK rather than RGB - that may be the cause of your problem.
