I experimented on a couple of options for GhostView and came to this group of options to automatically convert the PDF to PNGs without user prompts: -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=png16m -r96 -sOutputFile="C:\directory_Output\%03d.png" "C:\directory_Input\pdfname.pdf" Am I doing it right? I also would like to know what DPI I should set it to (I set it to 96 in this case) to have the same resolution as the source PDF. (The PDF files I am converting contains scanned images of a book or magazine, and does not have OCR text/information.)
