command to convert pdf into tiffs

gistfile1.txt

mkdir pages
gs -sDEVICE=pnggray -sOutputFile=pages/p%05d.png -r600 -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER -f filename.pdf -c quit

-sDEVICE is formatting, load ghostscript and run 'devicenames ==' to print the full list. 'tiffgray' for tiff
-sOutputFile is filename, can have paths, basic printf formatting for page number
-r is resolution, 150 is human reading, 300 is ocr/print, 600 is art printing

Don't need to edit later parameters except 'filename.pdf'

-AlphaBits are antialiasing, rest just gets it running on all pages non-interactively
