PDF to TIFF Converter

Portable Document Format

Requires Ghostscript to read. By default, ImageMagick sets the page size to the MediaBox. Some PDF files, however, have a CropBox or TrimBox that is smaller than the MediaBox and may include white space, registration or cutting marks outside the CropBox or TrimBox. To force ImageMagick to use the CropBox or TrimBox rather than the MediaBox, use -define (e.g. -define pdf:use-cropbox=trueor -define pdf:use-trimbox=true). Use -density to improve the appearance of your PDF rendering (e.g. -density 300x300). Use -alpha remove to remove transparency. To specify direct conversion from Postscript to PDF, use -define delegate:bimodel=true. Use -define pdf:fit-page=true to scale to the page size. To immediately stop processing upon an error, set -define pdf:stop-on-error to true. To set the page direction preferences to right-to-left, try -define pdf:page-direction=right-to-left. Use -alpha remove to remove transparency. When writing to a PDF, thumbnails are included by default. To skip generating thumbnails, -define pdf:thumbnail=false. To enable interpolation when rendering, use -define pdf:interpolate=true.

Also known as TIF. Requires tiff-v3.6.1.tar.gz or later. Use -define to specify the rows per strip (e.g. -define tiff:rows-per-strip=8). To define the tile geometry, use for example, -define tiff:tile-geometry=128x128. To specify a signed format, use -define quantum:format=signed. To specify a single-precision floating-point format, use -define quantum:format=floating-point. Set the depth to 64 for a double-precision floating-point format. Use -define quantum:polarity=min-is-black or -define quantum:polarity=min-is-white toggle the photometric interpretation for a bilevel image. Specify the extra samples as associated or unassociated alpha with, for example, -define tiff:alpha=unassociated. Set the fill order with -define tiff:fill-order=msb|lsb. Set the TIFF endianness with -define tiff:endian=msb|lsb. Use -define tiff:exif-properties=false to skip reading the EXIF properties. You can set a number of TIFF software attributes including document name, host computer, artist, timestamp, make, model, software, and copyright. For example, -set tiff:software "My Company". If you want to ignore certain TIFF tags, use this option: -define tiff:ignore-tags=comma-separated-list-of-tag-IDs. Since version 6.9.1-4 there is support for reading photoshop layers in TIFF files, this can be disabled with -define tiff:ignore-layers=true. To preserve compression of the source image, use: -define tiff:preserve-compression=true.
