Hello,

i need some help for a conversion from PDF to TIF. I have Ghostscript installed and it worked with the terminal. I think my problem has something to do with the output path.

Arguments: -q -dNOSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -r300 -sDEVICE=tiffg4 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -deletfile "%2" "%1"

Output: file in path

Extension: Tiff

And i turned the endcode of. Switch says the it come out with the code=1

I think i must put -OutputFile= in my code. But that doe's not work. Can anybody help please?

I think you forgot "-o" operator

See code below.

-q -dNOSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=tiffg4 -r300 -o "%2" "%1"

Yes, you must add an argument for the output file, but it is not -OutputFile, but -sOutputFile.

Apart from that, I advise to put the whole command in a shell script or BAT file. So, in "Command or path" you choose the script file, in "Arguments" you just put "%1" "%2" and in the shell script (in my case) you write:

#!/bin/bash

/usr/local/bin/gs -q -dNOSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -r300 -sDEVICE=tiffg4 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sOutputFile="$2" "$1"

exit

Do not forget to chmod +x the shell script! On Windows it is similar, but in the BAT file you do not use $1 and $2 but %1 and %2.
