I have around 1000 pdf filesand I need to convert them to 300 dpi tiff files. What is the best way to do this? If there is an SDK or something or a tool that can be scripted that would be ideal.

What is better quality PDF or TIFF?

In general “Normal” PDF files will offer the best quality for printing and viewing, as the bitmaps stored in TIFFs or image PDFs by their nature have a limited resolution. However, for most practical purposes the image quality of TIFFs at a suitable resolution will be sufficient.

Use Imagemagick, or better yet, Ghostscript.

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-graf2/#N101C2 has an example for imagemagick:

convert foo.pdf pages-%03d.tiff 

http://www.asmail.be/msg0055376363.html has an example for ghostscript:

gs -q -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=tiffg4 -sOutputFile=a.tif foo.pdf -c quit 

I would install ghostscript and read the man page for gs to see what exact options are needed and experiment.
