Hi forum Members,

after 3 hours of testing I want to ask if it is possible to convert a *.tif or *.gif over the command line?

I hope you can help mel.

Thanks for any answer

Please take a look at the help file:
Using PDFCreator -> Command Line Parameters -> /IF

Ok,
I have tried your answer but there isn't any .pdf file in the output folder. Can you give me any other tip how I can fix the problem?

Thanks

Ok I solved a part of the problem.

I can now convert *.jpg to *.pdf but if I convert *.tif or *.gif to *.pdf the pdf's are without any content. They are empty at all :)

Another tip: There is a mistake in the help file
pdfcreator.exe /IF"C:\image1.jpg" /OF"C:\image1.pdf"

I was only able to convert with a space between /OF "C:\path"

Can u help me now to solve the rest of the problem.

Thanks for any answers.

Tiff and Gif are not supported at the moment using PDFCreator.
However you can try the pdfforge.dll and the script Images2PDF.vbs (PDFCreator\PlugIns\pdfforge\).

Best regards,

Ok I am trying with these two files.
Now I am able to convert *.tif but in the output directory the *.pdf still have no content.

PDFCreator now creates 2 additional files filename0.pdf and filename1.pdf in the \pdfforge\ directory...... these two files are filled with the content that should be in the output directory.

Thanks for your help until now :) any more suggestions?

Hi thesmilyface
.tif Files are our normal Fax-Format ;-)
