Best way to convert pdf files to tiff files

Question

I have around 1000 pdf filesand I need to convert them to 300 dpi tiff files  What is the best way to do this  If there is an SDK or something or a tool that can be scripted that would be ideal

Use Imagemagick  or better yet  Ghostscript   http   www ibm com developerworks library l-graf2  N101C2 has an example for imagemagick   convert foo pdf pages- 03d tiff   http   www asmail be msg0055376363 html has an example for ghostscript   gs -q -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE tiffg4 -sOutputFile a tif foo pdf -c quit   I would install ghostscript and read the man page for gs to see what exact options are needed and experiment

I wrote a little powershell script to go through a directory structure and convert all pdf files to tiff files using ghostscript  Here is my script     tool    C  Program Files gs gs8 63 bin gswin32c exe   pdfs   get-childitem   -recurse   where     Extension -match  pdf    foreach  pdf in  pdfs          tiff    pdf FullName split      0      tiff      if test-path  tiff                 tiff file already exists      tiff           else                           Processing      pdf Name                  param    -sOutputFile  tiff           amp   tool -q -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE tiffg4  param -r300  pdf FullName -c quit

Using GhostScript from the command line  I ve used the following in the past   on Windows   gswin32c -dNOPAUSE -q -g300x300 -sDEVICE tiffg4 -dBATCH -sOutputFile output file name tif input file name pdf  on  nix   gs -dNOPAUSE -q -g300x300 -sDEVICE tiffg4 -dBATCH -sOutputFile output file name tif input file name pdf  For a large number of files  a simple batch shell script could be used to convert an arbitrary number of files
