Greetings - complete noob here with a few questions.
I have been tasked with creating a batch process that converts all the files in a folder from .tif to .pdf. It is a one-to-one file conversion.
USING WINDOWS
The problems I've run into so far:
1. Unable from the command line to execute magick *.tif *.pdf - I get "...error unable to open image '*.pdf'...."
How can I automatically create an output file with the same name but new format/extension.
2. When converting a tif that contains multiple pages each page is saved to a separate pdf.
Is there a way to have IM create a multi-page pdf instead. I have tried the -adjoin but it doesn't help.
Thanks in advance for you help and patience.

OK - it seems that if I specify the exact output file name then only one pdf is created even for a "multi-page" tif.
Progress.
Progress.
