Content Transformer pdf to tiff

[alfone]

Hi,

i´m using alfresco 3.2 community edition.
i have to transform tiffs to pdfs.
I´m able to register new transformer but i don´t know, how i am able to use them. do alfresco this automaticly without a rule-action?
And how i am able to display more supported formats, when i want transform a pdf to x. Not only to jpeg, gif and png. which configuration file i have to fit?

I´ll be really grateful for any help.

Hey,

no developer who has a similar problem???

Please, i need some help!

alfresco will convert content to plain text for full text indexing purposes.

But you need to tell it to do any other conversions, otherwise how can alfresco know what format to transform to?

A rule is one common way of doing that.   Another is to have a bit of code that calls the transformer when something happens.

Ok.
The tiff to pdf conversion works without any problems. But…now i want to transform a pdf to a tiff. I don´t get it to work.
The console-output says set:
13:12:03,967 User:alfONE ERROR [ui.common.Utils] A system error happened during the operation: 00140004 Content conversion failed:
