I want to be able to produce a multipage PDF from a multipage TIF. I'm able to do this using XnConvert, but not with NConvert. Is there a trick to doing this? I see there's an option to export a batch script from XnConvert, but when i use this feature, all i get is a batch file with the single word 'NCONVERT' in it.

Please try this code:
Code: Select all
nconvert -multi -out pdf -o test.pdf test.tif
I've omitted compression of the output PDF file, as the optimum type of compression will depend on the colour depth of your images, please see the NConvert help file:
Code: Select all
Options :
...
-c value : Compression number (default : 0)
PDF : 1 (Fax), 2 (Rle), 3 (LZW), 4(ZIP), 5 (JPEG)
...
-q value : JPEG/PNG/FPX/WIC/PDF quality (default : 100)
Update 11 June 2016
The default JPEG compression value used by NConvert is now 85:
Code: Select all
-q value : JPEG/FPX/WIC/PDF quality (default : 85)
From the NConvert 6.82 help file, version in which change ocurred not known.
