Is there a set of ImageMagick commands that will allow me to convert a multi-page pdf to a group of tiff files?
convert image.pdf -fuzz XX% -transparent white image.tif
the -fuzz finds values near white to make transparent
see
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... s.php#fuzz
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... ransparent
convert image.pdf image.tiff
will make a number of images, one for each page of pdf, e.g. image-0.tif, image-1.tif
