I have a dozen pdf’s that I need to convert to .tif
I open the pdf in photoshop, flatten Imange, rotate saveas .tif Is there any way to automate this process?
I have photoshop 5.5 but could upgrade to cs if that makes a difference?

David,

You need to create an Action, this is simply a record of the keystrokes used in the making of your image or file.
F9 (I think) starts the Action pallete, where you can give the action a name, start and stop recording the action etc.
Firstly, put all your PDF’s in their own folder.
Then, when you have created your action, go to File>Automate and choose Batch.
If you have created your action correctly, it should appear in the Action drop down box.
Click the Choose button and navigate to the PDF folder.
You can use the same folder for the Destination folder.
Have a look in your help files for further info.
