Hello! I'm using IM 7.0.7 Q16 on Windows 7. I have few hundred TIFF files which I need to convert to PDF files. Each TIFF file contain one page and I need to create separate PDF file of each with the original filename so that the only thing on the file changes is the filetype. I tried to look solution for this from this forum but was not able to find it. I bet this can be done with IM. Can somebody help me?

I must say that I'm new to this program so I would need just a little more help to complete this task
These TIFF files are in separate folders. I have this "main folder" which contains sub folders where these TIFFs are. Example of my folder structure:
Main Folder\Sub Folder 1\image_1.tif
Main Folder\Sub Folder 1\image_2.tif
Main Folder\Sub Folder 2\image_3.tif
Main Folder\Sub Folder 2\image_4.tif
.
.
What is the best way to convert these tiffs to pdf files? I would like to do this as batch so there would be no need to do it one by one. Conversion can be done in the original quality.

You can "cd" or "pushd" to each directory in turn.
If you don't know what I mean, I suggest you find a site that explains the basics of Windows commands.

I got help from elsewhere. I installed FindUtils for Windows.
Link:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/findutils.htm
Code: "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\find.exe" "C:\Users\XXX\Desktop\Folder" -type f -regex ".*tif" -exec magick "{}" "{}.pdf" ;
This printed out separate pdf of each tif file. Only problem was that the output filename would go with following pattern: Image_1.tif -> Image_1.tif.pdf but thats not really a problem.
