How to Convert PDF Files to TIFF for Free
Have you ever needed to edit a Portable Document Format (PDF) document but don't have the original? An easy way to edit a PDF is to convert it to a Tagged Image File Format (TIFF or TIF) image file and then change the image using GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP), Adobe Photoshop or any other image editing software. You can convert PDF files to TIFF files using free software downloaded from the Internet.

Tips & Warnings
You can change the resolution of the TIFF by clicking on the "Options" button in the "Output Format" section.
If you tire of the software's pop-up advertisement, you may buy a key for $9.95 (in June 2010) to remove it.
A higher resolution will make a TIFF file size bigger.
