I am trying to convert multi-file tif's to a multi-page pdf using command line.

Command:

convert \\image-location\1.tif \\image-location\2.tif "d:\new-location\firstname lastname date.pdf"

I get the following error.

Convert.exe: Unknown field with tag 34821 (0x8805) encountered. 'TIFFReadDirectory' @ warning/tiff.c/TIFFWarning/891

Please help

Thank you,

This is just a warning about some tif meta data tags that are unknown to IM. You should still have and output PDF. To stop the warnings, add -quiet right after convert and before your input images. If you do not get a multipage pdf, then add -adjoin right before the output pdf.

Please always provide your IM version and platform when asking questions, since syntax may differ.
