Multi-page PDFs

Post by iamften »

I am trying to convert multipage PDF's to either multi-page PDF's or several TIFF files. I have used the command:

convert file1.pdf file2.pdf
and also
convert file1.pdf image_%02.tiff

The file that results has only one page in it.

I am using 6.6.7-Q16 on Cygwin. I have also tried Windows command line also.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Thank you for your help. I am using iText to create the pages and for whatever reason, they are not splitting properly. I am making the PDF's the old-fashioned way (using Word to convert them) and that seems to be doing the trick. Thank you!
