Hey there

I have a series of .pdf multipage files that I need to convert into .tiff files and output them in the same location as they are now.

 

Problem is that TIFF writer outputs each .pdf page separately. Any ideas how to solve this?

I attached a sample file and and my script.

 

I am using:

FME Database Edition (node locked-crc)

FME(R) 2018.0.0.1 (20180328 - Build 18295 - WIN64)

I would recommend post-processing with ImageMagick. You can do this with a SystemCaller transformer that would be triggered by the summary feature of your TIFF FeatureWriter.

Here's an example of somebody creating a multi-page TIFF using a file that contains a list of .tif files:

You could create your list of files with a PATH reader and TEXT_LINE writer, or you could just do:

convert output_dir/*.tif mynewmultipage.tif
