[Mimedefang] Filter help - convert tiff to pdf

[Travis Albrecht]

Kevin, you are correct and thanks for the point in the right direction.  
I do have ImageMagick,  Unfortunately I don't know much perl.  
I've tried to get this to work by adding to the filter using
action_external_filter with no luck

So you'll need to loop through the MIME Entities on the email, see if any are
TIFFs, run PerlMagick on them to convert to PDF and then replace the MIME
Entity with the new PDF entity. Perhaps David has an idea about the loop on
the mime entities because I don't but are you saying you don't know enough
about perl to go anywhere with this information?

Here's a starting point with the perl code to convert from tif to pdf
assuming you have ImageMagick.  As you can see it's simply a matter of
reading in a tif and writing out a pdf.  The perl API will automatically
trigger a PDF write due to the filename.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Image::Magick;

my ($image, $rv);

$image = new Image::Magick;
if ($image) {
  $rv = $image->read("/tmp/pic02376.tif");
  warn "$rv" if "$rv";
  $rv = $image->Write("/tmp/pic02376.pdf");
  warn "$rv" if "$rv";
}


> I would like the process to be automatic using imagemagick's convert
function
