Converting Tiff to PDF

Post by tome100 »

We recently installed image magick on linux and are trying to get imagemagick to convert TIF files to PDF files. However, when we try to do so, we get the error: no decode delegate for this image format `ENV00001.TIF`

Convert -version:
Version: ImageMagick 6.3.1 12/27/06 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2007 ImageMagick Studio LLC

We have the latest version, but it does not seem to support tif files. I can convert JPG to PDF no problem.

When you build from source, check the last 50 lines or so of the configure script output. In your case it probably mentioned that the TIFF delegate library did not validate. Check config.log and look for -ltiff and see the reason ImageMagick did not validate the TIFF library. Fix the problem and rerun the configure script. Once its validated reinstall ImageMagick and you will be able to read/write TIFF images.
