Hello,

I need to convert a multi-page TIF file, containing images ranging from 8.5"x11" up to 36"x50", to a PDF via the Adobe print driver. I have been unable to locate a configuration that allows me to preserve original image dimensions. It appears I am forced to choose a specific page size. Can anyone help?

Thank you

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.0, Windows

can you email me a sample file ?

send to michaelejahn [at] gmail [dot] comI have a few plug-ins, but I do not have a multipage TIFF file example that has different page sizes to test.

Are they C4 files ?

on acrobat 8+ use file> create pdf> from file (ctrl-n) and your muti-page tiff will be converted to multipage pdf with each pdf page sized equal to the size of the corresponding tiff page.

At work I use Adobe 8.1.2 (I think, I know its in the 8's) at home I downloaded 9.
On the toolbar in 8, you click on FILE, then ORGANIZER.......where is that in 9.0?
I have multiple TIFF files I want to combine and convert to pdf's and save them in
a new Binder........where is that option in the latest version?

In Adobe Acrobat Professional version 9 - Under the File menu item, select the Cobine menu item, then cascade select "Merge Files into a Single PDF" - this will reveal the "Combine Files" dialog box - if you want to preserve the original image resolution, BE SURE to select the LARGEST page icon that appears in the most lower right hand corner listed next to "File size:"

Hi Hanlyone,,

I am pretty certain that you did not either read or understand the original question.

They are asking how to convert a mult-page TIFF file into PDF and retain each TIFF files dimensions.

The online tool you are suggesting only converts PDF files to TIFF - it does have the ability to convert Multi-page TIFF to PDF

I still do not think you understand what is being asked here.

frixtechgroup starts with multi-page TIFF files. These are single TIFF files that have multiple pages - they are somewhat unusual. Most TIFF files are single pages, and most people may have multiple single page TIFF files collected in a folder. THIS poster, frixtechgroup - who asked this question in 2008 BTW - had a single TIFF file and wanted this converted to a PDF, but wanted to know how deal with the fact that the pages in the single TIFF file were different sizes.

frixtechgroup does not need a PDF to TIFF converter - that is what you were pointing to.

frixtechgroup cannot use what you are suggesting to solve his problem.

PDF to JPEG Converter http://www.pdftojpeg.biz/ can easily convert PDF to JPEG and to many other image formats with 100% quality, such as convert PDF to GIF, TIFF, PNG, BMP, PCX, TGA, etc. .
This thread is about some asking about converting Multi-page TIFF files into PDF. This product does not offer any method to do that. If you are going to post a possible answer to a question, perhaps you should first carefully read the question.

Besides this - in the case that you are somehow involved with the development, marketing or sale of this product - I think that you might seriously consider removing the modified Adobes logo from your website - I am not a lawyer, but I am fairly certain that you do not have permission to use the Adobe Logo in that manner - if you are confused about that, visit this site;
