Hallo all together,
my issue is as follows:

I have a multilayer pdf file and I want to convert this in multiple image files, doesn't matter the image format (1 file per layer).

Is that possible with convert? How can I acheive that?

Thank you very much and have a nice day!!!

Best Regards.
Marc

convert image.pdf +adjoin image_%d.xxx

The above is how to do it in unix. I do not know if %d is windows compatible. It would be if it is from IM and not the OS. Anthony would know better about that.

%d is a printf() format for the standrad C library. It works for windows. It can include some numbers to specify field size and formatting style of the number that is inserted.

You may need to double the percent to escape it in DOS.
