Re: Corruption in pdf to tif conversion

The Ghostscript version hasn't changed for me. I did get a piece of compelling evidence, though. To create the PDFs, they use print to PDF, and I found that the user creating the trouble file is using a different printer - Microsoft Print to PDF, instead of the usual Adobe PDF printer. Is it possibl...

Re: Corruption in pdf to tif conversion

Unfortunately I can't provide the PDF because it's sensitive information. Thanks for the idea, but I don't know why that would be the case when the files generated by Access have been working fine previously.

Corruption in pdf to tif conversion

I've been using ImageMagick to convert pdfs created by Access to tifs. This has been working fine for several months, but the other day, a different user created a pdf file of many pages, and when converted, they are all corrupt: https://i.imgur.com/41ypx8R.png The command I'm running to convert the...

Re: Black and white PDF to color tiff

Really nice try - when I use that command, the photometric interpretation tag is RGB, so I really thought it would work, but I still get the error. I guess I'll blame it on Image Now and try a different approach to this. Thanks for your help!

Re: Black and white PDF to color tiff

Sorry for the delay in my reply. Since I can't post the real documents, I tried just creating a PDF from a Word file. It gets the error just like the real documents. I'm putting links to both the PDF and the tif created. PDF: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vcqoh56eyul6j3i/1048662%40COTRAN_1.pdf?dl=0 TIF:...

Re: Black and white PDF to color tiff

Thanks for the link. I've install the new version of ImageMagick and am converting with it now, but I still seem to be having the same issue. Any other thoughts?

Re: Black and white PDF to color tiff

Thanks for your reply. In the change log, the first version listed at the top is 6.7.4-10, so I'm guessing that's the version. We downloaded it within the last few weeks. The platform is Windows XP. Here's the full command: FOR %%I IN (*TRAN*.pdf) DO ImageMagik\convert -density 150 -compress lzw -de...

Black and white PDF to color tiff

Hello, I'm converting some pdfs (some color, some black and white) to tiffs which would retain any color. These tiffs are then imported into our document imaging system (Image Now). However, I'm noticing that even though black and white pdfs convert to tiffs which look just fine, those documents don...
