Hi All, I have tried converting the jpg file to tif file. This tiff file is not recognised by the microsoft office picture manager. This is the code I have tried 

my $dir = "C:\\Users\\rgopikrx\\Desktop\\im";
opendir (DIR, $dir) or die $!;
my @directory  = readdir(DIR) or die "unable to read $dir : $!";
my $index = 1;
foreach my $file (@directory){
    my $im = Image::Magick->new();
    my $rc;    
    my $dc;
    my $new = "$index".".tif";
    next if ($file eq ".");
    next if ($file eq "..");
    next if ($file eq "tt");
    print "Files : $file\n";
    
    print "Tif file : $new\n";
    $rc = $im->Read("$dir\\$file");die $rc if $rc;        
    $dc = $im->Write(filename=>"$dir\\$new");    
    $index++;    
}

is there anyother way to convert the jpg to tiff which will be recognized by the microsoft office picture manager so that I can use that image to OCR?
