file naming help.

[alexcordero9]

I'm doing a simple conversion from PDF to JPG but I've run into a file naming problem and I'd like some input.

This is what I'm running:

Code: Select all

c:\convert *.pdf *.jpg

I'd like each conversion to retain its file name but instead I get converted files with a "-01" suffix or something similar. IM seems to take the longest file name and simply repeats it in its converted form.

Has anyone seen this?

Thanks.

I do not think you can do wildcards the way you are trying

To do what you want, you probably should use mogrify not convert. see
