Hello,

I have about 1000 drawings in PDF format that I need to convert to B/W TIFF files. I thought I could easily do this in Photoshop (CS3) and then I hit a snag. In the Open form for the PDF there is a field to enter for the filename (I think that's because of multisheet PDFs). In my case all the PDFs have been reduced to single sheets, so I want the name to be that of the PDF file. Creating an action captures the "name", but this conflicts with the options when running in batch mode. I either have the same name from the action, or no name (or the same name) from batch options. Anyone know how to get around the naming options? Or do this a different way?

Thanks.
