i’ve got a hundred pages long high quality PDF (66MB) that needs to be converted to TIFF format (300 dpi, as high quality as possible :P).
I’ve tried Imagemagick/ghostscript, jpedal, Poppler, XPDF but they all produce different results due to the strange gradient of the PDF itself (blame the designers) and some actually take forever….
Does any one know any alternatives that i can try?
Thanks in advance,
M.
The GIMP does a pretty good job reading PDF files. Here’s a Windows installer.
The GIMP will load each page of the PDF into its own layer, so you’ll have to export each one as a TIFF. Luckily, this can be automated. I have no experience with the linked script, but if it doesn’t suit your needs then it shouldn’t be hard to modify it or write a quick script of your own to export each layer as a TIFF image.
