I have to convert a .pdf file containing scanned images into .txt files. The tesseract ocr converts only images to .txt, but I need to first extract the .tif images and then convert it. Can anyone help me with this?

Use Imagemagick:
convert -density 600 input.pdf output.tif
Density is in DPI, from my experience 600 DPI works the best.

3@GaneshNannaware Yes, it can. Put `%04d` in the name of the output file and see how it works. – Karol S Apr 12 '14 at 07:46
