Delete original not working when converting multipage file

Post by CBATnet »

Hello,

I've been trying to use XnConvert with a hot folder to automatically convert TIF files to PDF files as they are placed in the folder, and delete the original TIF from that hot folder.

So far this seems to be working, however any multi-page TIF files will convert to multi-page PDF files, but the multi-page TIF original will NOT be deleted. Is there some way I can get this to also delete multi-page originals? This is XnConvert 1.102.0 in Windows. Thanks.

As an update, I also tried the same process with XnView, and received the same result.

Just following-up on this. Does anyone know if this is normal behavior or something that can be adjusted?

Confirmed, multi-page TIFs are being converted to multi-page PDFs, and the original TIFs are being deleted after convert as expected.

Thanks very much Pierre!
