Total PDF Converter Customer Reviews 2026

Rate ItRated 4.7/5 based on customer reviews

"Our RIP software dumps every job as a PRN spool file, and clients kept asking for a TIFF they could archive. Total PDF Converter batch-converts a full folder of PRN files to TIFF with the DPI and compression settings I need for print records. It turned a two-hour manual chore into a five-minute job."

5 Star Harold Simmons Print Production Supervisor, Simmons Commercial Printing

"Engineering drawings were being sent to the printer as PRN files with no easy way to store them long term. Converting the whole batch to TIFF at a fixed resolution gives us a consistent archive format that opens in any image viewer. Running it from the command line means it fits right into our existing backup scripts."

5 Star Ingrid Larsen Document Control Officer, Larsen Engineering Group

"We had a backlog of PRN printer spool files from an old billing system that nobody could open anymore. Total PDF Converter converted the entire batch to TIFF overnight with compression settings that kept file sizes manageable. I would like a clearer default DPI recommendation for scanned versus text-only PRN files."
