Compared three converters; PDF to TIFF was the only one that preserved our layout on Adobe PDF *.pdf → Image *.tif. Handles encrypted and password-protected documents.

We handle confidential client files, so PDF to TIFF running 100% offline was the dealbreaker. Fast enough for daily, high-volume workloads.
